Welcome back, my beautiful freaks, to Sean's Workshop! Today, I'm tackling the first in the timeline of my abandoned "epic", KOTOR Version 2: Sith Triumverate.
This story began just after the Mass Shadow Generator was activated and the Exile, Vhae Pano in my story, lost her connection to the Force. The main characters were three Jedi followers of Revan whom Revan let into his inner circle just before heading to the Star Forge. These three, already teetering toward the Dark Side, become the three prestige classes from KOTOR 2; a dual wielding heavy armor user that I'll just call Maurader(because I don't remember their names), a saberstaff, stealth based character I'll call Assassin, and the female of the group, a Sith Lord who focused on the mysteries of the Force, though I'll call her Sith Lady instead.
This one was to be a short, lore dump story, where I set up my interpretation of some of the backstory. They headed to the Star Forge, where they got their equipment, save for their lightsabers, which they would just switch out the crystals due to their background as Jedi, since Jedi view the lightsaber as an extension of their soul.
From there, they would meet Revan's "true master" Vlad Ragnos, the last survivor of the Sith species. Vlad, the father of Marka Ragnos, has an army of Sith monstrosities made from Sith Alchemy, and after this meeting, Revan revealed his true plans; to make the galaxy strong so they could bring its might against Vlad. However, as we'd find out much later, Maurader is tempted by Vlad's teachings, since his role is that of a brute in Revan's group, and wants to become more.
Here is where they begin Revan's plan. They first "inspect" the Sith Academy on Korriban, which is run by Exar Kun hardliner Jorak Uln. They prepare Uthar Wynn to take control of the Academy, leaving it fully in Revan's control, though Uthar Wynn does meet Revan, though with the mask, leaving a possibility of near recognition of Revan's voice during KOTOR version 2.
I also covered the recruitment of Saul Karath, the loss of Malak's jaw to Revan(which was due to Malak forcing Karath to destroy Telos instead of make it theirs, setting up Malak as the brute to Revan's brain), the building of HK-47 and his killing of a group of Jedi as a test, and him calling Malak a "meatbag", as he reveals in KOTOR. I also had a mission where Assassin infiltrated the Jedi temple and look for suitable Jedi to recruit, though this lead to him being ambushed by a pair of Jedi Temple Guardians and was forced to kill them.
The next bit I had planned was Sith Lady meeting Revan on Korriban just after he defeated Uthar Wynn and redeemed Yuthura Ban, Revan having fully regained his memories at this point(a major plot point in KOTOR Version 2 was Revan's mind was not wiped, but amnesic, and his regaining his memories of a Sith as they gathered the Star Maps), and they spoke of Revan's plans. Revan says that he still intended to go through with his plans, but with a Jedi's perspective. He also apologized for leading them down a dark path, and he'd do what he could to redeem them after this war was over. Sith Lady, still dedicated to Revan's cause, tells her allies of Revan's survival and that he intended to finish what he started, omitting his desire to redeem them when she recounts her meeting.
Curiously, I didn't have any ideas for a Maurader chapter, which is probably I introduced the idea of him being tempted by Vlad. Regardless, they sat back and waited for Revan to contact them again after the events of KOTOR Version 2.
Next month will be KOTOR Version 2 itself, but for now, stay beautiful freaks!
