... never be seen again... until now.
Damn, I like the character, and his "story", the mod is looking great, but I still can't get over that you didn't somehow put Revan as the Sith Knights leader. It would make this mod perfect for me, and I'm sure that for other Revan's and KOTOR fans too...
Well, anyway keep up the work.
Revan was captured by the Sith Emperor in The Old Republic MMO and later freed by the Jedi player guided by the character from KOTOR2's ghost. He then went on to command a wardroid factory made by the Infinite Empire and he wanted to wipe out everyone in the galaxy with Sith ancestry. The Sith player then raids the station and Revan becomes one with the force.
No knight would want to wipe out billions of people. most of them being innocent.
Not quite, EmperorNiko; according to Wookiepedia:
"Before his opponents could finish the Jedi Master off, Revan vanished in a flash of violet energy."
Revan was known for disappearing, and since he was not actually slain by the Imperial strike team, it can be reasonably construed that Revan made good his escape by staging his own apparent death. "Vanishing in a flash of violet energy," could be as simple as encasing one's self in a lightning sheath, while using the force to teleport to a hidden hanger. Revan was defeated, wounded, and needed time to heal; it makes sense that Revan, who had been made immortal by the Sith Emperor himself, would take the opportunity to hide and heal, before reassessing his situation, and forming plans. The nature of immortality is that of not being subject to death.
Perhaps Revan chose to place himself in carbonite suspension, and hid clues to his location on a special holocron, left with someone from his past that he knew he could trust.
He was still crazy and wanted to kill innocents based on their DNA.
Considering what the Original and Restructured Sith Empires did to hundreds of worlds, and the billions of lives taken in the wars which they waged, not to mention their instigation of the Mandalorian Wars, it is logical to see where the removal of the root cause would prevent further loss of life, -etc.
Lord Revan has endured centuries of incarceration, being used by the Sith Emperor as a combination force battery and conduit to future events. Everyone and everything that Revan had valued had been taken from him, because of the Sith; thus Revan's desire to remove every Sith from existence can be seen as a rational course of action. Without the Sith, there would be no major dark side threat to take over the galaxy, and any minor dark force using factions could be easily dealt with by the Jedi Council, thus ensuring millennial peace and prosperity for the Republic. Now that we can see somewhat of Revan's perspective, one has to ask one's self whether Revan was crazy, or not.
Remember that the Republic itself initially attempted to annihilate the Sith from existence through the orbital bombardment of Korriban, and the Jedi did nothing to prevent it, thus earning the long standing enmity of the Sith. Was the Republic crazy, or did its leaders forsee the long term possibility of a power that could in time challenge and crush the Republic, and bring about a dynasty of evil and slavery for its citizens?
I see my Knights much like the Black Knights thought they were from Code Geass. Defenders of the innocent and destroyers of any and all oppressors.
And like Zero did with the UFN and later Britannia, Drake is using the Republic to achieve His, Kyra and Treya's ultimate goal, The complete destruction of the Old Sith (Sidious, Tyrannus, Mual) and take the place of Peacekeepers in place of the Jedi who slowly lose candidates as parents instead decide to let their force sensitive kids to the Knights where they are treated with love and encouraged to form bonds.
The Jedi's law forced many Jedi to fall to darkness in fear of the smallest thing like falling in love. and the way of the Sith breeds madness. A Knight gains power from friendship and love. The Sith Despise the idea and the Jedi will exile you for love.
As such the knights begin to grow in ranks in the years after the Clone Wars and into the Great Unity War (Which will be a future edition of the mod)
I'll explain that with the model of the Galaxy Forge(mentioned in Order and Unity ships)
I like the manner in which you describe your Knights, and the future which you envision for them. From my own observations, Revan was more like those from the original "Je'daii Order," in that he held and used both sides of the force equally, and believed in marriage, -etc. Your Sith Knights, are also more like the Jedaii Order; because of this, they are far more likely to succeed as champions and protectors of the galaxy.
In this mod, will the Jedi work with the Sith Knights, or will they oppose them?
The Order of Sith Knights is in the republic with all the same rights as the Jedi except they refuse to command any other force but their own trained recruits (Usually from worlds they liberate from the CIS)
They also act as members of the Senate and have full governing control of Horuset System (Korriban) which is officially their HQ and now a member world of the Republic under the law of the Sith Unity and officially led by Lady Kyra who is voted leader by the other Knight's leaders thanks to her heritage.
Unofficially they have made their real HQ at Lehon where they plot the future of the galaxy.
The Jedi don't fully trust them and use the bounty hunters Ahsoka and Ventress to report the Knights teaching(resulting in future loss of padawans who learn of it) along with Captains Pellaeon and Tarkin to act as a modern military leasons to the Republic Military who also watches for acts of betrayal(Very poorly i might add)
Sounds great, EmperorNiko; I look forward eagerly to the next installment.
