As the ship emerged from Hyperspace Revan exhaled in wonder and excitement, he had grown to about a six-foot-tall man overnight. Revan walked over to the bridge and looked out towards the planet city. The group soon found themselves on the landing pad with a contingent of Senators from the Republic senate coming towards the group. The Jedi bowed to the Chancellor and Senator, "It is a great gift to see you alive, Your Majesty. With the communications breakdown, we've been very concerned. I'm anxious to hear your report on the situation. May I present Supreme Chancellor Valorum." The senator said, however, Revan was slightly thrown off as there was a dark side presence coming from this specific senator. This presence had a large amount of malice and hate. "Welcome, Your Highness. It's an honor to finally meet you in person." Valorum said with a small smile coming to his lips. "Thank you, Supreme Chancellor." Queen Amidala returned. "I must relay to you how distressed everyone is over the current situation. I've called for a special session of the senate to hear your position." Valorum said as the group started to walk. The Queen comes to a stop turning to Valorum, "I'm grateful for your concern, Chancellor." she said as they resumed walking, with Revan in the back along with Qui-Gon and Obi-wan, Palpatine, the senator for Naboo as the pilots told Revan, began sowing the seeds of doubt and Revan was shocked to hear this words from a Senator of the Republic, "There is a question of procedure, but I'm confident we can overcome it." Qui-Gon turned to Valorum along with Revan "I must speak with the Jedi council immediately. The situation has become much more complicated." Revan had to force himself not to roll his eyes, in the time of the Old Republic Jedi did not need to ask for permission to see the council from the Chancellor of the Republic. In fact, the Jedi order was separated from the Republic to not become entangled with politics that could compromise the code. Anakin stopped walking to look at the group, Revan nodded his head telling his brother to go while Qui-Gon shook his hand.

The trio made their way to the Jedi Temple. "They have yet to open my vault in the basement of the temple." Revan spoke with frustration leaking into his voice. This shocked Obi-wan, he was surprised that the council wouldn't do what was needed to ensure that the truth was told. "That's not possible. Master Yoda would have checked." Obi-wan said in denial which caused Revan to chuckle. "Yoda went nowhere near this area." Revan replied with a small smile. The trio walked in the council chamber direction. Qui-Gon and Obi wan came to a stop outside the door while Revan just walked into the Chamber. "Who the hell do you think you are!?! You cannot just walk into this chamber while we are in session." the bald man yelled. Revan just kept walking until a seat rose out of the middle of the chamber and it slowly moved next to Yoda's. "I can interfere, seeing as this is a order that I helped protect from the Mandalorian troops during the Mandalorian and Hyper-space wars, you need to show some respect to the Grand master, former Battle master and your fellow Masters, you cannot go yelling at those who seek an audience without an appointment." Revan said to the bald man, trying to humble him. "Why are the Jedi on Coruscant? Tython would be better." Revan said. This was the cause of frustration for most if not all of the Jedi council. "We are on Coruscant to better help the people of the Republic '' The Bald man replied. Revan stood and shook his head, chuckling. The former master of the order walked around the tower chambers, frustration rolling from him in waves. "You refuse to learn from the past, we are sitting on top of a former Sith Temple! Stay in your precious temple here, the past has a way of repeating itself." Revan vented in anger as he walked out. A few hours later Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan and Anakin all walked over to Revan "The Jedi Council has agreed to let us continue protecting the Queen. What about the Sith? Will you fight him?" Qui-Gon asked with a raised eyebrow. Revan shakes his head and mutters "Where there is death, there must always be death." This confused the trio, after a while Qui-Gon mentally understood. The trio quickly went towards their mission with the Queen while Revan walked over to a small ship in the corner of the Temple hanger. Revan quickly disabled the tracking system and set the Nav-computer to head to the Lehon System within the Unknown regions.

After several hours of hyperspace Revan felt the ship give a small jolt. "Attention unidentified ship, you have entered the sovereign space of the Star Forge, state your business or be destroyed" Revan smirked. The officers had been trained well aboard the Star Forge. Then Revan saw the Star Forge. "This is Vinitate's Fear Authentication code:05924685AF." Revan piloted the ship towards the Leviathan pulling up the star charts for a planet called Kamino, as he was doing that Revan received long range transmission from Nala Se, the current chief scientist on the planet. "We sent the sample to the Star Forge as was asked of us when we noticed that you arrived at our time." Revan quickly walked towards the bridge of the Leviathan looking at his holo-communicator. Revan nodded to his long time friend HK-47, the Droid who had been the trainer for the army that was currently being built on the Star Forge. "HK, I want some of the newer designs such as the Venator and Accumulator ships. I will be taking the Leviathan to secure Tython. You are to bring the fleet and the Star Forge and the Shipyard once I give the all clear, Understood?" The droid nodded and walked off the ship. The Admiral overheard the conversation and had begun ordering officers around in order to acquire the fleet that was going to Tython. When the Leviathan began to head to the edge of the system. The Leviathan quickly made it's way to the other side of the system and jumped to hyperspace. After the jump, Revan received a request for a holo call from Master Yoda and walked to his personal chambers to receive. "Enjoy making this call, I do not. In need of aid, the Mandalorians are." Revan took a few minutes to think about what this would mean for the Jedi. Revan walked over to the ship's captain. "I will be going to Mandalore, while I am away, secure Tython and use the shipyard to build the Fleet as dictated by HK-47." Revan told the captain, who saluted. Revan walked to the Jedi ship that he had used in order to get to the Star Forge, he inputted Mandalore into the Nav Computer and jumped into hyperspace. The Nav Computer pinging a beacon on the moon of Concordia. Revan quickly decided to fly to Mandalore and he became immediately saddened at what the planet had become, Revan saw none of the forest or foliage that had once existed. As Revan landed on the city of Sundari two members of the Mandalorian royal guard walked forward "The Duchess would like to speak with you. This way please." one of them said as both of the guards led Revan to a speeder which took him across the city. Revan walked through the halls, he saw the history as the pacifist wanted the people to see, but not the true history of Mandalore. "Master Jedi, how may I help you today?" Revan heard as he walked into a large and grand throne room, "I require a transport to the moon of Concordia. There was a distress beacon from thousands of years ago that originates on that moon." Revan told her. This made the Duchess pause in thought, "Very well but you must take a pair of royal guards with you."
