Sith Infiltrators. We are now certain that the Sith Empire began laying the groundwork
for its return as far back as the Jedi Civil War. In fact, it`s clear that the origins
of the Jedi Civil War itself were not as simple as we once believed. The Sith Emperor`s first
representatives to return to Republic space are well - known names: Darth Revan and Darth
Malak. Revan is remembered now as a legend - a great hero of the Jedi Order... But that
was only after his redemption. Revan and Malak first rebelled against the Jedi Council by
ignoring orders and assisting the Republic during the Mandalorian Wars. Revan`s success
in defeating the Mandalorians caused the Council to question it's orders... But none realized
how far Revan had already fallen. After their crushing victory on Malachor Five, Revan and
Malak chased the Mandalorian into Deep Space. It was there on Dromund Kaas, that they encountered
another enemy entirely - the Sith Empire reborn. We know nothing of what transpired when Revan
and Malak met the Sith Emperor. But one thing is certain... when they returned, they did
so on behalf of their new Dark Master. The fall of Revan and Malak to the Dark Side was
complete. The Emperor sent them back to the Republic to make preparations for a full
- scale Sith invasion. Their mission was to recover the maps leading to the ancient Star
Forge, constructed by the Rakata more than twenty - five centuries ago. With the Star
Forge, the Emperor planned to accelerate the construction of the new Sith armada. He would
exact his vengeance against the Jedi and the Republic centuries ahead of schedule. The
ambitions of Darth Revan and Malak grew quickly, though. As they drew closer to the Star Forge,
the two Sith Lords began to have visions of their own Empire. Fortunately for the Republic,
Malak`s thirst for power drove him to betray his master. He attacked Revan`s ship, and
left his former master for dead. The Jedi found Revan wounded and unconscious. After
much debate, the Council made a controversial decision — to erase Revan`s memory and retrain
him as a Jedi. Working with Jedi Master Bastila Shan, Revan recovered his strength. He then
rescued the Republic, and defeated his former apprentice. The Jedi Civil War was over —
the Star Forge destroyed and Revan not only redeemed, but celebrated as a hero. Deep in
Revan`s lost memories, however, hid the knowledge of a lurking menace far greater than Darth
Malak. Indeed the Emperor`s plan to accelerate his return was thwarted, but the construction
of the Sith armada continued... It would only be a matter of time. With the war over, Revan
returned to Deep Space in search of the Great Eevil. What happened after that is unknown.
Though Revan`s ultimate fate remains a mystery, we have learned much about the events that
preceded his fall... The Mandalorian Wars will be the subject of my next report.
