Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
was a 55 issue comic book series written by John Jackson Miller
and published by Dark Horse Comics. The story takes
place some 3,963 years years before the Battle of Yavin, during The Mandalorian Wars of The
Old Republic era. These wars erupted after two decades of
relative peace following the Great Sith War and was set in motion by
the ambitious Mandalore the Ultimate, who reconsolidated the
Mandalorian clans under the Neo-Crusader banner. They were fought
between Mandalorian forces hoping to expand their colonies beyond the
Outer Rim Territories and the Galactic Republic, which feared further
incursions. Amid such uncertain times, radical new factions began
to coalesce within the Jedi Order. An outspoken Jedi Knight, who would
become known in the popular media as "The Revanchist," warned of the
danger posed by the Mandalorian clans. He lobbied for the Jedi Order
to take an active role in the Republic's war effort, but the Jedi High
Council was hesitant to be drawn into another armed conflict. While
the Revanchist concerned himself with the Mandalorians, the famed Jedi
seer Krynda Draay focused her attention on the Sith. Draay was
embittered by her failure to predict the reemergence of the Sith, and
by the loss of her husband, sister, and former Jedi Master during the
resulting Great Sith War. The war with the Sith had gravely depleted
the Jedi ranks and there were few remaining Masters who were capable
of training the next generation in the ways of the Force. But the Jedi
managed to convince Krynda Draay to train a new class of seers for the
Order, but she had greater ambitions. With the aid of Haazen, a failed
Padawan who had served her husband, she quietly founded a Jedi
splinter group known as the Covenant. In the following decades, she
and her students developed the organization into a vast, clandestine
operation dedicated to preventing the Sith from ever rising to power
again. Unfortunately, a vision by one of the Convenant has tragic
consequences for a group of young Padawans on the eve of their
knighthood into the Jedi Order. While another, Zayne Carrick, finds
himself framed for a crime
he did not commit and on the run from
the Jedi Order. Discovering unexpected new allies, including
amongst those considered to be enemies, he uncovers the truth behind
the Covenant. But his attempts to prove his innocence and enlighten the Council to
the
existence of the Convenant result in a shocking and terrible
event that threatens to change the Jedi Order forever... |
