Four thousand years before the rise of the Galactic Empire, the Republic was on the verge of collapse. Darth Malak, the last surviving apprentice of Dark Lord Revan, unleashed an endless Sith armada upon an unsuspecting galaxy still reeling from the Mandalorian Wars. Malak's war of conquest scattered the Jedi, but a new generation of heroes -- some from very unlikely sources -- emerged. Their tale can be discovered by playing the award-winning LucasArts title, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.

By popular demand, elements of this sprawling saga have been placed into the growing starwars.com databank, but there's a word of caution: If you haven't played Knights of the Old Republic yet, be warned. Some of these characters' most personal agendas may be revealed in these updates.
