The Story of Zen’Oth

My journey begins on the Planet Anaxes as a very young boy and son of a wealthy political family. Anaxes was a planet in the Core Regions of the Galaxy and was under the Galactic Republic’s control for thousands of years. I was born in 3,981 BBY and when I was 3 years old I displayed usage of the Force to my parents. Not long after this my parents contacted the Jedi Order and requested I was to be trained as a Jedi.
When the Jedi arrived on Anaxes to meet with me, my parents were honored that I was to be trained as a Jedi and greatly accepted my departure from them.
On that day I was brought to Coruscant to meet with the Jedi Council and be tested with the Force. I passed the test and was sent to the youngling training quarters and started my training. 7 years later in 3,971 BBY after countless days of training and learning about the Force, I became a skillful Jedi Padawan and was granted a Master. I showed great skill and knowledge through my training in the Force and exceptional skill with a Lightsaber. 3 years later, after many missions with my Master and traveling the Galaxy learning about the Force, my Master told the Jedi Council that I was ready for the Jedi Trials.
Soon after my Master told the Council that I was ready for the Trials, I recieved word from the Council that I was to take part in the Trials.
During my Trials, I faced many difficult challenges and painful tests. After these tests I succeeded in the Jedi Trials and was granted the Rank of Jedi Knight. The Trial of Skill was my first test and it consisted of showing my skill not only in Lightsaber combat but the main thing that the battlemaster looked for when judging a potential Knight was their ability to avoid distraction through self-discipline. My next test was the Trial of Courage, I faced a Hologram projection of the Dark Lord of the Sith, Freedon Nadd. It was a dangerous and almost overwhelming duel but through my knowledge of the Force and my courage I defeated the Sith Lord and passed the Trial of Courage.
My next test was the Trial of Flesh. The Trial of Flesh was the most trying test given at the Jedi Temple, Involving the apprentice overcoming great physical pain, hardship, or loss. I was subjected to The Burning, I was shot by blaster bolts on low power so I could understand true pain done to the body. It was painful but I succeeded in the test.
I have now come all the way to the Trial of Spirit. To pass the Trial of the Spirit, apprentices had to look deep within their souls, on a quest of self-discovery. This test was designed to test a potential Padawan against their most dangerous enemy, the darkness within themselves. I can not explain what happened during this test, but I can say that it is something that will stay in you forever.
Now my final test, the Trial of Insight. The Trial of Insight was the last test offered as part of the Trials of Knighthood. Installed in the Trials program after noting that while a Jedi could take down a Sith, they could be undone by common thieves, this test helped a Jedi to see what was really in front of their eyes through use of the Force. Seeing through illusion, evaluating an individual’s true persona, and unveiling lies are essential to a successful mission. I was challenged with fighting horde’s of Sith and I passed the final trial by knowing that they were just illusions.
After the Jedi Trials I was requested by the Jedi High Council to meet with them and my Master. When I arrived to the Council I was granted the rank of Jedi Knight. Later that night I was given my Knighting Ceremony and became a Jedi Knight.
After many days I was tested to see what Class of Jedi was best for me. After these tests the Council suggested that I was to be a Jedi Sentinel. A Jedi Sentinel was the name given to one of the three distinct branches of Jedi that sought a balance between the other two branches, the Consulars and the Guardians. While they possessed adequate combat skills and had somewhat extensive knowledge of the Force. After years of doing missions for the Council with my Master, my Master was sent into the Mandalorian Wars to help the Republic. I volunteered to go with my Master but the Council refused that I go and so I stayed with the Council on Coruscant.
A couple of years later in 3,963 BBY, I was 18 years old and recieved news from the Council that my Master was killed. Now hearing the news of my Master’s death, I refused to listen to the Council and I left to join the Mandalorian Wars and help the Republic and the Revanchists. The Revanchists, also known as the Jedi Crusaders, were a renegade faction of the Jedi Order who assisted the Galactic Republic during the Mandalorian Wars. In 3,964 BBY, the movement was founded by the Jedi Knight Revan, who wished to take a more proactive role against the invading Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders. I then joined Revan and his Revanchists for the final years of the War. During my time with Revan I noticed that he was searching for something, I am not sure what though but I intend to find out. Later during the wars, in the year 3,961 BBY, Revan found another Star Map on the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk. Sometime after he found the Kashyyyk Star Map, Revan discovered the ancient Sith world of Malachor V. Now I and the rest of the Revanchists are going to Malachor V to learn about this mysterious ancient Sith world.
When we all arrived on its surface, we were quickly assaulted by the destructive dark side energies that permeated the world, yet through the strength of his will, Revan and the rest of us were able to feed on the dark power without being consumed by it. Soon thereafter, we stumbled upon the Trayus Academy, an abandoned training center built by the ancient Sith Empire. While unearthing the planet’s buried secrets, we learned the location and significance of the planet Korriban, the homeworld of the ancient Sith species, and also discovered the continued existence of the Sith Empire. The planet was dark and I could feel its dark energy’s flow through me, it was so empty there dispite the Force flowing there, there was no life and I could feel it has been empty for a long time.
In the year 3,960 BBY, Revan forced a final battle with the Mandalorians over Malachor V, during which he used his powers to pull all the forces loyal to him, Jedi and Republic alike, to the dark side. The Jedi who were not loyal to him perished in the battle. I accepted the use of the Dark Side of the Force and thrusted in to battle against the Mandalorians along side Revan and the rest of the loyal Revanchists. After a long and brutal battle against the Mandalorians, Revan defeated Mandalore the Ultimate, he forced the surviving Mandalorians to surrender, ordering his forces to dismantle their weapons and Basilisk War Droids. Revan also denied the Mandalorians their fallen leader’s ancestral mask, denying the vanquished force the right to choose a new leader.
Unknown to those who were praising Revan as a champion of the Galactic Republic and a paragon of the Jedi Order, the Sith teachings had already swept through the ranks of those who had followed him into war, such as me.
Instead of returning to the Republic, Revan and Malak, Revan’s greatest friend and second in command. I followed Revan and Malak along with the remaining Revanchists to the Unknown Regions of the Galaxy and went to search for the Star Forge, an ancient Sith superweapon. During our expedition into the unknown regions of deep space, Revan and Malak verified the existence of the long hidden Sith Empire. After making their way to the Sith capital of Dromund Kaas, Revan and his disciple confronted the mysterious Sith Emperor under arms. Revan did not allow anyone but him and Malak to enter the Sith Throne room of the ancient Sith Emperor. No one knows what conspired when Revan and Malak meet the Sith Emperor but when they returned the both of them took the title “Darth”. Revan and Malak then started to search for the remaining Star Maps that would give the location to the Star Forge. After sometime for searching for the Star Maps, once all the maps were pieced together it gave the location to a currently unknown planet in the galaxy called Lehon.
Once we arrived to the planet we immediately crashed on the planets surface and shortly after we were attacked by the primitive Rakata species, who attempted to take us prisoner. Revan, The Dark Lord and his apprentice bested them easily, and though Revan could not understand the Rakatan language, he was able to use a Force technique to rip it from their minds, while also driving Basic into their skulls in turn through a unique Force power. They left with the Rakatan while me and the rest of crew remained on the crashed ship, I meditated till they returned and during my meditation I felt a connection with a being through the Force that I have never felt before.
Now that Lord Revan returned with the location to the Star Forge we departed to it and Revan could start to craft his Dark Empire to crush the Galactic republic and the Jedi Order. When we arrived to the Star Forge I could feel its dark energy even before docking on the giant space station. While we all waited till Revan and his new fleet was ready, I trained in the Dark Side of the Force and gained many new powers such as Force Lightning and many other darker powers that have been lost through out history till now. Once ready, Revan led his powerful new Sith armada back into known space, finally revealing himself as a Sith Lord and plunging the galaxy into war once again.
I am now 22 years old and it is the year 3,959 BBY. Revan and Malak are now returning to known space and are about to lauch there assault on the Republic and the Jedi. First we returned to Korriban, and seized control of the planet, establishing a new Sith academy. I was loyal to the new Dark Lords and fought in the Jedi Civil War.
For 2 years of the war Revan’s Empire won battle after battle, until a young Jedi Knight named Bastila Shan entered the fray with her battle meditation, a powerful Force ability that increased the combat effectiveness of the Republic’s forces and sapped the will of enemy combatants. Yet, even with Shan’s aid, the Republic forces knew that they could not hold out forever against the Sith. In 3,957 BBY, in a desperate attempt to end the war, the Republic and the Jedi set a trap for Revan and Malak, luring them into battle against a small fleet. During the space battle, Bastila led a team of Jedi that boarded Revan’s flagship and managed to corner the Dark Lord on the bridge. Revan, however, seemed unfazed by the strike team, as he quickly eliminated all the Republic soldiers while the Jedi took down the Sith Lord’s Dark Jedi.
I was not around during the time of this battle, I was on my own mission searching for lost Sith artifacts across the Galaxy. When news came to me, I heard that Darth Malak betrayed his Master hoping both Revan, Bastila, and the Jedi would be killed, ordering the ships under his command to fire on the bridge of Revan’s flagship. Although Malak believed himself to have been successful in killing the man who had been his best friend, this was not the case.
Thinking Revan was dead, I returned to the Jedi Council as a Gray Jedi meaning, I was able to go from the Light side to Dark side of the Force and back but able to use both sides of the Force without the Dark side consuming me. I didn’t tell the Jedi Council everything I did but enough for them to trust me and allow me to teach Jedi Students to protect them selfs against the Dark Side of the Force. When I returned to the Jedi temple on Coruscant I could feel that connection I felt when I was on Lehon in the unknown regions but it was alot stronger. I am not sure what this feeling was so I went to the Meditation Chambers in the Temple and focused all my Force energy into this mysterious connection I have most recently felt to uncover its location.
During my Meditation I saw a young female in my visions and there was broken words of Anaxes and many other similar things from my past, I went to the Council and told them of my vision’s and the connection I have recently felt, to see if they knew anything of its origin. When I told the Council of these feelings, they told me that I have a sister and she was born little after I left Anaxes to train as a Jedi. The Council said she is in the main Archive room in the Temple studying about the Force. I left immediately to the Archive room to meet my sister.
When I arrived to the Archive room I saw a young female Jedi, when I asked what her name was she said it was Ren’Oth. I knew that she is my sister as her name is similar to mine and the connection I felt is now so strong I can feel it coming from her. When I told her that I was her brother she was surprised as are parents never mentioned me to her and I also noticed that she was a little cautious due to my eyes still under the influence of the Dark Side of the Force.
I told her everything of what I have done and what I wish to due now and now after many months of getting to know each other, we have created a strong and loving bond between each other. I have trained many Jedi inculding Ren’Oth about how to truely defend them selfs agains the Dark Side of the Force and Ren’Oth and me have became closer and closer in our relationship, I have taken Ren’Oth as my personel apprentice.
A year has gone by and is now the year 3,956 BBY, I am 25 years old now. During my time traing Jedi, it was kept a deep secret by the Council but Revan did not die that day he was betrayed by Darth Malak and Revan actually got his memory re-programed by the Jedi Council using the Force and since then been a Republic Soldier under a new allias. Time has passed and news has been spread around that Revan has returned to the Force as a Redeemed Jedi and has set out on a mission to defeat Malak once and for all and save the Galaxy from the Sith.
When me and Ren’Oth heard that Revan defeated Darth Malak and destroyed the Star Forge, we decided to leave the Jedi Order and set out on our own journey to learn more about the Force and its true origin. Before we left the Jedi Order me and Ren’Oth took lots of copy’s of important Jedi records and history from within the Archives, we also decided where we would go to start our new life together. I decided that we go to the planet Rhen Var a remote frozen world in the outer rim of the Galaxy. After we gathered all of our belongings and the data from the Archives we took a starship from the Jedi and left Coruscant to journey to our new home on Rhen Var.“More Info Coming Soon”
