Star Wars The Old Republic: The Hero Of Tython

FOOTNOTES

I am writing this to both practice and hone my writing skills creatively as well as honing typing long documents as I have never really had to do so.

Most of the characters are my own creation, but a good portion are the creations of Lucasfilm/Star Wars/Bioware – it's a bit hard to determine who owns the rights but I'm just saying this is not my intellectual property. So if this goes anywhere (which it won't lol) I think star wars and co get all the rights etc.

One of the characters has a name inspired by the Destiny franchise but I am gonna call fair use on these too as they're just names – surely?

Please don't laugh at me but this is just stuff I'm coming up with on my own for the most part and may be far from perfect or cohesive due to my lack of experience – but that's what this is for right??

It is worth noting that due to this text(?) being set in the SWTOR universe, and canonically, the Jedi knight (the story upon which this is based) is the final class story in the base game. Therefore, it is important to note the other happenings in the universe which may or may not affect the direction of this story – this story also takes place from the beginning of the Jedi knight class story and ends with the most recent large scale story update of onslaught.

I have also made a few personal 'retcons' in regards to the fate of Revan and Meetra Surik which affect the story – but don't really change its direction. There will be accommodations in the story to reflect this that I believe are better suited to the story as a whole and many SWTOR fans tend to feel the same way.

I will include some Operations in this too as I feel that they are an important part of the Universe at large, but I understand if people regard them to be non-essential when telling this story – I will include a short version of the events that take place and may do story texts of those adventures too using the characters I've created.

(Hutt Cartel and Dread War have been omitted as I've never played them – but I have some ideas about them so you'll have to wait and see if they come to fruition. Haha.)

TL; DR: This is my own adaptation of the Jedi Knight Storyline from the Star Wars game – The Old Republic – This is how I would do it, and how I would do it better. (imo)

So; going in order of when the other class stories take place in MY canon with short extracts of what happens in them...

(THIS IS SKIPPABLE AND CONTAINS GAME SPOILERS I WARNED YOU!!!!!!!!!!)

1) Sith Warrior – During the cold war phase of this war (like a year before this is set) a young Sith warrior rises through the ranks of the Sith via ruthlessness and bloodshed. He completes many small scale victories, before his master betrays him when the war commences. He gets revenge on his master by slaying him, claiming his title as Darth and acting as the 'Wrath Of The Emperor' - despite his Dark Side nature and acts, he maintains a small bond to the light with relationship with his Fiancée – A former Twi-lek slave.

2) Jedi Consular – A Jedi whose master has just left the order finds themselves as a master themselves and is tasked with a critical task of rooting out 'Children Of The Emperor'; beings who are vessels of the Emperor but are alter-egos who live within the republic, some aware of their nature and some unaware – the Jedi Master is successful in rooting out this evil and saves a fellow master in the process, leading them to be named on the council and bestowed the honour of training a force-sensitive of a recently discovered civilisation.

3) Imperial Agent – A whole web of betrayals and deception, the Imperial Agent was tasked with finding a terrorist threat within the empire which led them on a journey to dismantling a secret galactic super power, 'The Star Cabal', who hoarded enough of the Galaxy's secrets to incite galactic anarchy within seconds on the 'Black Codex' – along the way the agent was lied, betrayed, brainwashed, acted as a double agent whilst acting as a double agent and was present for the dismantling of their organisation: Imperial intelligence. The agent slew all who used, manipulated and betrayed them along the way. Now, armed with the black codex and no name – the agent possesses enough secrets to blackmail the galaxy, but has remained in the shadows since the recommencing of the war...

4) Smuggler - In just another day of doing the impossible by regular standards, the smuggler had their ship stolen by a notorious criminal. In a strange turn of events, the smuggler stole their ship back and stole the criminal's task of securing the treasures of Nok Drayen – a former underworld kingpin. Soon after, they found themselves wrestling with other key underworld figures and becoming a republic privateer to legitimise their actions and ally themselves with higher-ups in the republic. With the war renewed, the smuggler stumbled their way in to the possession of a pirate armada, whom they turned against the empire. Just another day for one who is still taking the most reckless jobs in the galaxy.

5) Bounty Hunter – After being adopted by a Mandalorian clan from a young age, the bounty hunter entered – and won – the grand hunt, earning them a more respected role amongst the clans. They found themselves in direct employment to Mandalore himself where they took on enough high priority jobs to plant themselves at the top of the republics most wanted list. However, when a Sith Lord hired them to assassinate the supreme chancellor, the hunter found themselves to get a better deal from the chancellor and returned to imperial space to kill the Sith who had hired them. They retreated from imperial space to the outer rim before they could face the consequences. Challenged for their actions by Mandalore himself, they duelled to the death. A new Mandalore was crowned and they have not been seen in the core worlds or in imperial space since.

6) Republic Trooper – From a classroom, to simulations, to battlefield, to being Commander of the Republic's most valued strike team – The trooper found themselves strapped to a rocket that was headed towards galactic warfare. Starting with their promotion to havoc squad, their first task was to hunt down their - would've- been squad mates who had deserted the Republic in its hour of need. Formulating a new team of their own along the way, Havoc Squad succeeded in their task before also destroying a secret imperial superweapon on what could have been considered a suicide mission. They now lead from the front lines of the conflict and have partaken in many republic victories since the war restarted.

7) Sith Inquisitor – A slave on Korriban who was constantly tasked with the impossible found themselves becoming stronger with the dark side with each feat they accomplished in their trials – enough so to draw the gaze of a dark council member. They soon found themselves as a Sith Lord and assassinated a rival to their master on the dark council. The Inquisitor was then tasked with the completion of a dark side ritual that concerned the remnant spirits of deceased Sith lords of the past. The performance of this dark side ritual allowed the former slave to consume the power of these Sith for their own and eventually overthrew their master and became a Darth themselves. Sailing under the radar when the war began again, they attempted one final ritual – one that would make this god-like power permanent. Unfortunately, they underestimated the residual power of the former Sith Lords, who took their chance to escape and be free as part of the living force. Whilst they still feel the echoes of power, the Inquisitor now searches the war-ridden galaxy for more secrets of the force, that they may one day be all powerful...

And now, we return to our story – the republic and empire are on the brink of all-out war as the treaty of Courasant crumbles and an experienced Padawan travels to Tython to undergo their long-delayed trials to become a Jedi Knight. But our story begins a bit before – it begins on the day the Republic and Empire signed the treaty, but not all of the galaxy heard about this news instantly....
