Calista(Revan) stands at 5'10" tall. She has shoulder-length(most times) black hair, and light blue eyes. She can normally be seen wearing a full black body suit and black trench coat, with both her sabers, and a spare silver blaster on her belt.
Personality:
Before her fall to the dark side of the Force, Revan was a very gifted Jedi whom possessed the potential to become a champion of the Jedi Order, as believed by Jedi Master Vandar. In addition to her exceptional skills, Revan was also noted for having a charismatic personality and insatiable desire for knowledge. Her abilities in charisma and persuasion were more than powerful enough to win the personal loyalty of countless Republic soldiers, including thousands of Jedi who willingly stood with her against the wishes of the Jedi Council. As a general, Revan was acknowledged as the greatest military tactician of her time, especially due to the fact that her entry into the Mandalorian Wars was a pivotal turning point for the all but defeated Republic. Intelligent and decisive, Revan won the devotion and admiration of not only her followers, but also the Mandalorians, many of whom were humbled after being defeated by Revan's tactics. As a military strategist, her exploits were legendary throughout the Galactic Republic.
History:
"Hero, villain, savior, conqueror. You are all things Revan… and yet you are nothing. In the end you belong to neither the light nor the darkness. You will forever stand alone."
―Darth Malak
Revan—renowned as the Revanchist, honored as the Revan, reviled as Revan the Butcher, dreaded as the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Revan, and praised as the Prodigal Knight—was a Human female who played pivotal roles as both Jedi and Sith in the Mandalorian Wars and the Jedi Civil War. Believed to have been born in the Outer Rim Territories, the woman later known as Revan was born around the year 3994 BBY and studied under a number of different Jedi Masters as a Padawan of the Jedi Order. Becoming fast friends with a fellow student named Alek, she became a Jedi Knight and was a vocal and charismatic critic of the Order's inactivity in the ongoing Mandalorian Wars between the Galactic Republic and the Mandalorian warrior culture. Leading the Revanchist movement the Knight donned the mask of a fallen Mandalorian as she joined the Republic Military's fight and was appointed Supreme Commander.
However, when Revan defeated the Mandalorian leader Mandalore the Ultimate at the Battle of Malachor V in 3960 BBY, Revan and her friend Alek, now known as Malak, followed the trail of a mysterious Sith influence on the Mandalorian Wars to the Unknown Regions, where the two discovered a reconstituted Sith Empire and were turned to the dark side of the Force by the Sith Emperor. Sent back to the Republic as advance agents, the newly-anointed Dark Lords of the Sith Darth Revan and Darth Malak broke free of the Emperor's mental control and established their own empire with the Star Forge, an ancient space station of great power that had been built by the Rakata species. In the resultant Jedi Civil War, Revan was betrayed by her Sith apprentice Malak and captured by the Jedi Knight Bastila Shan, who saved Revan and formed a Force bond between them.
Her mind wiped, Revan was given a new identity as a Republic soldier by the Jedi Council, but when Malak attempted to capture Shan aboard the Republic warship Endar Spire above the planet Taris, Revan joined forces with the Republic officer Carth Onasi and a number of other individuals on Taris to rescue Shan and escape the world before Malak destroyed Taris's surface. On Dantooine, the amnesiac Revan was retrained as a Jedi Padawan and sent on a mission to locate the Star Maps, Rakatan artifacts that would lead the way to the Star Forge, and Revan gained new allies and grew close with Shan during their travels. However, when the group was captured by Malak, Revan's true identity was revealed and Shan was captured, forcing Revan and her crew to find the final Map and locate the Star Forge on their own. Aboard the Star Forge, Revan brought a fallen Shan back to the light side of the Force and defeated Malak, earning the Cross of Glory and the title of Prodigal Knight.
Revan soon sank into obscurity for several years until her resurfacing memories led her to leave the republic behind in a search for answers in the Unknown Regions, and she was held captive by the Sith for three years until a former lieutenant of hers named Meetra Surik rescued her with the help of the Sith Lord Scourge. The trio's attempt to eliminate the Sith Emperor failed, and Revan was held captive by the Emperor for three hundred years until she was finally freed by Republic forces. Taking control of the Rakatan Foundry, Revan attempted to construct an army of extermination droids to destroy the Empire, but the Jedi Master vanished when she was defeated by an Imperial strike team and she was never again seen in the greater galaxy. Her legacy, however, would live on; the Sith Lord Darth Rivan, who began the thousand-year-conflict known as the New Sith Wars, named himself after Revan after reading a damaged manuscript about the Sith Lord, and the Sith Lord Darth Bane discovered Revan's Sith holocron on the planet Lehon and used Revan's teachings to develop the Rule of Two philosophy.
Biography:
A Human female, the individual later known as Revan was born in approximately 3994 BBY, and some believed that she had been born in the Outer Rim Territories. In 3993 BBY, the dying Jedi Duron Qel-Droma had a Force vision of Revan standing victorious over a Sith Lord while wearing Qel-Droma's robes, and the man died a peaceful death knowing that the future was secure. The child who would be remembered as Revan was eventually discovered to be Force-sensitive and was accepted into the Jedi Order. The Jedi Master Kreia claimed to have been her first teacher in the ways of the Force. Regardless of the truth of her statement, the Human was trained along with a fellow student named Alek on both the planet Coruscant and at the Jedi Enclave on the planet Dantooine. Both received further training from the Twi'lek Jedi Master Zhar Lestin, who noted that the future Revan possessed what he described as an insatiable desire for knowledge. Lestin believed that it was simply youthful exuberance and eagerness, and he expected the young woman to become a champion of the Order—a sentiment shared by Master Vandar Tokare, though Master Vrook Lamar was wary of the student's desire for knowledge.
The Jedi studied under a number of Jedi Masters after leaving the tutelage of her first teacher, learning from Master Lestin, the Enclave's chronicler Master Dorak, and Arren Kae. The former Jedi hopeful Mical later claimed that Revan had undertaken a thorough study of Force bonds and other uncommon Force powers during her time as a Padawan. Alongside Alek, the future Revan achieved the rank of Jedi Knight sometime before the year 3964 BBY, and the two were widely acknowledged as being among the most promising members of the Jedi Order. However, Alek's friend was commonly recognized as the more powerful and intelligent of the pair, and she was seen as the leader among the two. By 3964 BBY, Alek's friend was a well-known, charismatic, and powerful Jedi Knight.
That year, the Mandalorian warrior culture began an invasion of the Galactic Republic's territories in the Outer Rim, bringing the Mandalorian Wars to the larger galaxy. Outraged at the Jedi Council's refusal to involve the Order in the conflict, the young Jedi Knight began to move among the Order, arguing that the Jedi should actively aid the Republic Military in its fight against the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders. The Republic media branded her as the "Jedi's own crusader," and the "crusader" gradually gathered a following of like-minded Jedi as the number of military and civilian casualties continued to rise. Alek was the first to join the cause, and his friend soon became considered to be the honorary "Master" of those who followed her.
With the backing of Alek and her other followers, the Jedi decided to journey to the war front against the wishes of the Jedi High Council so that she could scout the enemy lines. On the way, she and her followers stopped on the planet Taris in the Ojoster sector in order to meet with the Jedi Master Lucien Draay. The "crusader" hoped to recruit more Jedi to her cause from the Jedi Tower on Taris, but neither Draay nor any of the other Jedi there were willing to oblige. Not long after departing Taris, the Knight left Alek and the majority of her followers on the planet Suurja while she herself investigated Mandalorian activity on Onderon and its moon Dxun. However, many of her followers were captured by Mandalorians in an ambush at Suurja. Considering her findings to be "disturbing," the Knight reported her findings to the Jedi Council on Coruscant shortly after the Republic officially entered into the Mandalorian Wars, though the Council once again told her that the Order had no place in the war. In response, the Council dispatched Revan on a mission to rescue those Jedi who had been captured. As she departed the Council chambers on Coruscant, the Knight encountered Master Draay and, after a brief conversation about their views on the war, she departed to complete her assignment.
The Jedi's followers, including Alek, were eventually rescued from the Mandalorian scientist Demagol on the planet known as Flashpoint by the fugitive Jedi Padawan Zayne Carrick, who had been framed by his former Master Lucien Draay for the Padawan Massacre. Once reunited with Alek and her followers, the Knight continued her campaign for Jedi intervention in the Mandalorian Wars, but in a different fashion. Finding herself to be a celebrity to the larger Republic as the head of the Revanchist movement—as her faction became known—she was cast by the Republic media in the role of a crusading savior who was wrongfully ignored by the Jedi Council. Though she was first referred to as "the Revanchist Leader" in news reports, the young Jedi Knight soon became known simply as "the Revanchist."
Over the course of the year 3963 BBY, the Revanchist continued to travel the galaxy and bring her message of Jedi intervention to all who would listen. A Cathar Jedi named Ferroh, one of the Revanchist's followers, brought the planet Cathar to the Revanchist's attention. Ferroh's entire species had vanished from their homeworld ten years prior, and the Revanchist—believing that the Mandalorians were responsible—began showing other Jedi the abandoned world in order to convince them that the Mandalorians needed to be stopped. She and Alek were on Cathar when Mandalorian forces under the command of their leader Mandalore the Ultimate attacked the planet Serroco. In the Battle of Serroco, the Mandalorians bombed the planet's surface with nuclear warheads, and both the Revanchist and Alek felt the death of thousands of innocents from several sectors away. Not long afterwards, The Revanchist was invited by Lord Arkoh Adasca, the head of Adascorp, to bid on weaponized exogorths that the businessman sought to sell to any faction in the Mandalorian Wars. The Knight was unable to attend the auction due to pressing business elsewhere, so she sent Alek in her place. Several Jedi had visions that Adasca's exogorths could change the course of the war, so the Revanchist instructed her friend to ensure that the danger the weapons posed was eliminated. In the aftermath of the Adasca affair, the Revanchist was rumored to be arranging a meeting between several Jedi opinion-makers.
Shortly after the Adasca affair, the Taris Siege, and the bombardment of Jebble, Lucien Draay was appointed to the Jedi Council. He reported to the Council that Republic intelligence reports indicated that there was a blow to the Mandalorian's plans of conquest, reportedly by an insurrection within their own ranks, and stated that the "interventionist path" sought by the Revanchist was wrong for both the Republic and the Jedi. The Council approved his motion, which ordered the recall, or if necessary, detention, of the "prowar renegades." The Jedi Council sent Alek back to the Revanchist and her followers with a final warning after Alek, now going under the guise of "Captain Malak," testified to the Jedi Council against the secret cabal known as the Jedi Covenant.
Dark Lord of the Sith:
As newly willing servants of the Emperor, Darth Revan and Darth Malak followed the Dantooine and Kashyyyk Star Maps to locate similar Star Maps on Manaan and Korriban. On Korriban, Revan delved further into the dark side while plundering the tomb of the ancient Sith Tulak Hord. Among the Sith relics he recovered from the tomb was Tulak Hord's mask, and the two Sith soon located the Star Map in the depths of the tomb of the ancient Sith Lord Naga Sadow. During this time, Revan created her own Sith Holocron, which contained Revan's thoughts on the nature of the relationship between a Sith Master and apprentice. By 3959 BBY, using information from the four Star Maps, Revan and Malak were able to triangulate the location of the Star Forge in the Lehon system. However, their ship crashed on the planet Lehon upon arrival, and the two were taken captive by the native Black Rakata. Unable to understand the primitives' language, Revan tore the knowledge from the One, the Rakatan leader.
Speaking with the One, Revan made a deal with the Rakata: in exchange for the theft of an ancient tome from the rival Elder tribe, the One would help Revan and Malak gain access to the Temple of the Ancients, a nearby structure that was the key to accessing the Star Forge but was sealed without a spoken ritual from the tome. However, when Revan and Malak met with the Elders, Revan instead allied herself with them. During her time among the Rakata, Revan spoke to Ll'awa, a Rakatan researcher who was attempting to restore the Force-sensitivity of his species, and Revan reached a compromise with the Elders: they would open the Temple of the Ancients for her and her alone if she would destroy the Star Forge and help the Elders free themselves from their dark past. However, once the Elders opened the Temple, Revan broke her word and entered the Temple with Malak, and the two used the knowledge they gleaned from the Temple to shut down the disruptor field around the planet and to access the Star Forge. Before departing, Revan left her holocron in the lowest level of the Temple.
However, the pair had broken free of the Emperor's control by the time they boarded the Star Forge in orbit above the star Abo, and the two former Jedi—their minds still twisted to the dark side—interpreted the Emperor's mental commands as their own desires. Darths Revan and Malak declared themselves Dark Lords of the Sith and leaders of a new Sith Empire, and Darth Revan took on Darth Malak as her Sith apprentice. Assuming command of the Republic ships and soldiers who had followed her into the Unknown Regions, Revan made them into the military of her new Empire, and he used the Star Forge to manufacture ships, weapons, and other war materiel to supply them. The Sith Lords quickly reclaimed Korriban, reestablishing the Sith Academy so as to supply their Empire with Sith.
Revan had continued to study the Star Forge, and she came to the realization that it was capable of far more than just the creation of weapons. Taking a fragment of the Star Forge, no bigger than a fingertip, Revan experimented with it and discovered that the device fed on whatever it was given—whether it be the Force or simply basic mass—and returned the basic building blocks of life: water, air, carbon, and even life. She left the fragment in the depths of the moon Nar Shaddaa in the care of a number of alien slaves in a large complex. The slaves, whose descendants came to know Revan only as a godlike figure known as "the Revan", remained loyal to the Revan's instructions and cared for the "Infinite Engine." However, Revan also acknowledged that the Star Forge itself was a threat, as the Rakata's reliance on the station had led to their destruction. As a result, Revan minimized her exposure to the Star Forge beyond taking a fragment and constructing her fleet, a decision that Malak saw as weakness.
For her first attack as part of a planned twenty-year campaign against the Republic, Revan used her knowledge of the Republic Military's inner workings and attacked the shipyards of Foerost in 3958 BBY. In the Battle of Foerost, Revan's forces seized most of the Republic warships there and destroyed the rest, beginning the Jedi Civil War. When the Republic officer Saul Karath defected to Revan's forces, Revan eventually promoted Karath to commander of the entire Sith fleet. However, Malak ordered the Admiral to bombard the surface of the planet Telos IV with his flagship Leviathan, despite the fact that Revan had intended to conquer the planet. As the title of Darth was previously unknown to the Republic and the Jedi at that point in time, many scholars later believed that Revan and Malak were the first Sith to use it, and they speculated that the title was derived from the Rakatan language.
During the war, Revan ordered the assassination of a number of political figures, including an Echani Senator and Senators Mimas Yoon of Corellia and Lelin-Dor of Serroco. It was Revan's intention to leave the Republic economy and military functionally intact, so that she could rebuild a stronger Republic and confront the mysterious threat Revan remembered in the Unknown Regions. However, the Echani general Yusanis learned of Revan's role in the Echani Senator's death and challenged the Sith Lord to a duel, though the general was slain in combat with Revan. Not long after the Battle of Foerost, Revan entered into a partnership with Czerka Corporation, offering them a trade monopoly within the territory of her empire in return for logistical and economic support. With Revan's support, Czerka established their regional headquarters in the colony of Dreshdae on Korriban near the Sith Academy. A major part of Revan's battle strategy was the capture and corruption of Jedi; any captured Jedi would be tortured and converted into Dark Jedi and Sith, and Revan's specially-trained Sith assassins struck at targets across the galaxy, capturing enemy Jedi and killing those who would not turn.
By 3957 BBY, Malak had begun to resent his Master, and he openly expressed his opinion that Revan was too soft to be a Sith while the two were aboard Revan's flagship. Malak's comments sparked a duel between the two that ended when Revan delivered a lightsaber strike to his apprentice that removed Malak's jaw. Malak survived the fight, but was forced to wear a large metal prosthesis over his lower face and spoke through a vocabulator for the rest of his life. Around that time, Malak asked HK-47 what he thought of him, and Revan was so amused by HK-47's description of Malak as a "meatbag" that she programmed the droid to refer to all organics as such. The success of HK-47 led Revan to decide that more droids like him would help maintain galactic stability, and HK-47 became the basis for the HK-50 series of droids which were constructed on Telos.
Later that year, the Jedi Council set a trap for Revan, sending a small fleet to the Outer Rim as bait. Revan attacked the fleet, but a small Jedi strike team led by the Jedi Knight Bastila Shan—who was capable of battle meditation, a Force ability that strengthened one's allies and weakened enemies through the Force—attacked Revan's flagship. Revan dispatched several Jedi and Republic soldiers when they attacked her on the command deck of her vessel, but Shan and three other Jedi arrived to confront the Sith Lord before she could leave the bridge. Malak, on his own vessel nearby, sensed that Revan was in danger and decided to take advantage of the situation to take his Master's place. Just as Revan prepared to duel Shan and the other Jedi, Malak's vessel opened fire upon the bridge of Revan's ship. Amid the confusion, Shan rushed forward and delivered a Force push to the Sith Lord's chest, sending her flying, but Revan was critically injured in the explosions and the fighting that followed. The only survivor of her strike team, Shan saved Revan's life with the Force and took her to safety—forming a powerful Force bond between them in the process. Shan brought the comatose Sith Lord with her to Dantooine, where the Jedi Order healed Revan's broken body, and the Jedi Council decided to take action against Revan: joining together, the members of the Council wiped Revan's mind clean, erasing her memories and giving her a new identity- that being Calista Jarrde, a soldier from the planet Deralia.
Revan Reborn:
In order to learn the source of Revan's fleet and the key to defeating Darth Malak, the Council decided to rely upon Shan's bond with Revan and draw out her memories to find the answers. Shan was charged with keeping Revan's identity hidden, and she was placed in command of the Hammerhead-class cruiser Endar Spire. Now believing herself to be a Republic soldier, Revan was enlisted in the Republic Military under a false name and with a false background, and she was assigned to the Spire. In 3956 BBY, the Spire was ambushed above Taris by Darth Malak, who had been hunting Shan relentlessly the last few months after Revan's apparent death.
Revan awoke in the middle of the battle and proceeded to fight her way off the ship with the aid of fellow Republic soldier Trask Ulgo, who sacrificed himself to save Revan from a "Dark Jedi"—none other than Darth Malak's apprentice, a former Jedi named Darth Bandon. Along with the Republic captain Carth Onasi, she managed to escape in the last escape pod on the Endar Spire just moments before it exploded.
After crash-landing on the surface of Taris, Revan was knocked unconscious. Onasi dragged Revan from the crash site, where Revan began experiencing flashbacks through the Force of her buried past. The two discovered that Shan had been captured by the Black Vulkars swoop gang and was being offered as a prize to the winner of a swoop race tournament called the Tarisian Season Opener.
With help from the Vulkars' rival, the Hidden Beks, as well as a young Twi'lek female by the name of Mission Vao and her Wookiee friend Zaalbar, who swore a life debt to Revan after being rescued by her from Gamorrean slavers, Revan entered the tournament herself and was able to win Shan's freedom. These accomplishments were enough to attract the attention of the Mandalorian mercenary Canderous Ordo, who gave Revan an offer to escape Taris: stealing the Ebon Hawk, an extraordinarily fast freighter from the Exchange crime lord Davik Kang.
After Revan and her companions were able to steal the bypass codes to the Sith blockade overhead from the Sith base, with the help of their new droid companion T3-M4, Ordo introduced Revan to Kang as someone wanting to join the Exchange. While Kang ran a background check, Revan and her newfound crew broke into the hangar in an attempt to steal the Ebon Hawk. There they were confronted by Kang and the infamous bounty hunter Calo Nord. During the short firefight that ensued, Malak ordered the Sith admiral Saul Karath to bombard the planet saying "Wipe this pathetic planet from the face of the galaxy!" The resulting bombardment resulted in Kang's death, and allowed Revan and her crew to make their getaway.
Deciding that they needed to regroup, Revan and her companions fled to the Jedi Enclave on Dantooine. Shan spoke to the Jedi Council of "recent developments", and once being informed of Revan, the Council requested an audience with her. Onasi found that the invitation was unusual for someone who was apparently not even a Jedi yet, and the Twi'lek Jedi Deesra Luur Jada remarked that he had not seen anyone accepted for training recently. Normally, the Council would not accept an adult for training, but Revan was a "special case". Shan presented Revan to the Jedi Council. Jedi Master Zhar Lestin, a member of the Council, told Revan that they had been discussing her, and that Shan had told them that she was strong in the Force. However, contrary to the other Masters, Vrook Lamar said that they needed indisputable proof of her strong connection to the Force before they could even consider training her. Shan argued that surely all of them could feel the strength of the Force within Revan. Lestin said that they could indeed, though the power was wild and untamed, and that they could not ignore it. Knowing Revan's former identity, Lamar further argued that if they trained her, perhaps the Dark Lord–Revan herself–would return. Not wanting to reveal Revan's identity to her, Master Vandar Tokare declared that they would discuss the matter in private. While the Council debated, Revan and Bastila shared a vision of herself and Malak, as Jedi, visiting Dantooine's ruins when they found the first Star Map. After Shan and Revan told the Council of the event, Master Dorak claimed that the ruins had long been known to them, but they believed them to be merely burial mounds. Revan learned from the Masters that she and Shan shared a Force bond, and the Council believed that together, they would both be able to defeat Malak. The Council decided to send them to the ruins in their vision, where they believed they would find some clue as to why she and Malak had been corrupted by the dark side.
After this, she and Shan went to investigate the ruins that they had seen in their vision of Revan and Malak. Once inside, they were confronted by a droid speaking the language of the Rakata, which were, at this time, completely unknown to the rest of the galaxy. It switched to a language resembling that spoken by the Tusken Raiders, but finally changed to something Revan understood. The language happened to be an archaic and ancient dialect of the Selkath language. The droid said that it had been programmed to serve the "builders" if they sought knowledge of the "Star Forge". When asked whether he knew of Revan and Malak, the droid replied that they were neither builders nor slaves, like him, but they had proven themselves worthy, and that they themselves must now do the same.
After passing the tests, they gained access to the room which contained a Star Map, which would help lead them to the Star Forge. Though the Map was not complete, it pointed the way to the worlds of Tatooine, Kashyyyk, Manaan, and Korriban, on which it was suspected more Star Maps could be found. Only with the combined information of these five worlds would Revan be able to rediscover the location of the mysterious Rakatan artifact. Revan and Shan reported their findings to the Council immediately after, and the Jedi Masters agreed that the Star Forge must be found. The Council still wanted Shan to continue drawing out Revan's memories to find the Star Maps. They were also curious to see if Revan could complete this mission without falling prey to the dark side, and reclaiming her former title as Dark Lord. Juhani requested that she join Revan's party in their search for the Star Forge. Onasi expressed confusion over the Council's choice of sending Revan on an assignment that could be the deciding point of the war.
Revan, Shan, and their companions journeyed to these worlds, tracing the steps Malak and his Master had taken years before. During these travels they gained two new companions; on Tatooine, Revan purchased the assassin droid that she created as a Sith Lord, HK-47, and on Kashyyyk, the self-exiled Jedi named Jolee Bindo joined her party on the search for the Star Forge. On each planet, the powerful dark side aura of the Star Maps created perilous conditions that made accessing the Maps difficult. Additionally, the crew of the Ebon Hawk found themselves hunted by Sith and bounty hunters, such as Calo Nord on his last stand on Tatooine, and confronted with the problems of the local populace at every turn. One of their greatest challenges was Darth Bandon, Malak's apprentice, who met his end in a duel at the hands of Revan after she had found the fourth Star Map on Manaan.
"You cannot hide from what you once were, Revan! Recognize that you were once the Dark Lord - and know that I have taken your place!"
―Darth Malak to his old Master
As the crew was searching for the fifth and final Star Map, Revan and her allies were captured by the Sith flagship Leviathan which was under the command of Admiral Saul Karath, Onasi's former mentor. As the Ebon Hawk was being brought in via tractor beam, its crew discussed their escape, and Revan chose a member of her party to escape the Sith and save them from capture.
Revan, Shan, and Onasi were put into Force cages and interrogated by Admiral Karath. After Onasi argued with him and insulted him for the deaths on Telos, Saul said that he was insignificant part of events anyway, and that Darth Malak was far more interested in the two Jedi, who both said that they would never turn to the dark side. From Revan's words, Saul found, unexpectedly, that she did not know of her former identity. He, however, said that he would not be the one to deprive Malak of the pleasure of telling her himself. Karath suspected that he would not succeed in the interrogation, and said that the Dark Lord would no doubt torture them for information and for his own twisted pleasure. He knew, however, that at the time Malak was in another sector and that it may be some time before he would arrive, and so he began torturing them himself.
Revan's will weakened, but she still gave no answers to the former Republic Admiral. Karath revealed that the question was only a test, for Malak, of course, being a former Jedi, knew the location of the Jedi Enclave and had destroyed it. Karath then left the three alone until Malak would arrive, leaving Shan greatly upset by the Academy's destruction, and hoping that the Jedi had managed to escape. Both Jedi soon felt a disturbance in the Force, and they knew that Karath had sent a message to the Dark Lord of their current location. Meanwhile, the party member Revan had chosen to free them found them and deactivated their force cages. Feeling Malak's dark presence approaching, the Jedi devised a plan to escape; go to the bridge, in secrecy, and disable the tractor beam. Onasi was also included in the plan, for he wanted to kill Karath, who would be on the bridge, in revenge. Revan also sent Canderous Ordo and the rest of her crew to the docking bay so that they could deal with the guards.They fought their way to the bridge and confronted Karath and his guards. The Admiral said that if they lay down their weapons, he would ask Darth Malak to be merciful when he arrived–he could have arrived at any minute–but Onasi said that he had seen enough of Sith mercy and attacked him. Revan, Shan, and Onasi slew the Sith troopers and left Karath mortally wounded. His dying words to Onasi were the revelation of Revan's identity. Furious, Onasi accused Shan of keeping the secret from him, and Shan pleaded with Onasi to not let Revan know at the time, and said that she would explain everything to both of them when they had escaped the flagship. Just before they would be able to arrive in the docking bay which held the Ebon Hawk, they were confronted by Darth Malak, the Dark Lord of the Sith. After discovering that Revan still had no knowledge of her time as the Dark Lord, Malak was amused and told her about her true identity, which had been wiped by the Jedi. Stunned and bewildered, Revan refused to believe that she was the former Dark Lord of the Sith, the infamous Darth Revan, until Malak's assertion was reluctantly confirmed by Shan, who said that she had been part of the Jedi strike team sent to capture her. Darth Malak took advantage of Revan's shock and made every effort to sow discord between his former Master and the Jedi who had manipulated her, yet Revan refused to turn against her allies.
Following the intense debate, Malak created a stasis field around both Shan and Onasi, and prepared to end his former Master's life. Malak had always regretted betraying his Master from afar, for because of it, others claimed that he was afraid to personally face Revan for the mantle of Dark Lord of the Sith, but now he had been given a second chance to prove himself. Revan fought valiantly, proving herself a capable swordswoman. Malak, however, caught Revan off guard by using Force stasis on her, but before Malak could finish his former Master, Shan ultimately sacrificed herself so that Revan and Onasi could escape. Reluctantly, Revan and Onasi left, and they and the rest of the crew escaped the ship. Revan was forced to deal with Malak's revelation and the loss of Bastila. When Onasi told the crew of her sacrifice, Jolee Bindo suspected that Malak was planning to turn her to the dark side and use her Battle Meditation against the Republic. Revan then revealed the shocking revelation to her companions. Onasi, who had been told by Karath on the bridge of the Leviathan, was furious but said he would try to accept it. This made no difference to Mission Vao, who said that she was a different person than she was before, and Zaalbar agreed with her, stating that he had sworn a life debt to the redeemed woman Revan had become, not the Dark Lord. Bindo claimed that he had known her identity all along but felt that it was not his place to tell her, and that he would still follow her. Canderous Ordo was simply glad to battle alongside his people's conqueror. HK-47's deleted memory core was restored, and he revealed that Revan was his creator. He also recalled once calling Malak a meatbag, which Revan had found humorous, and programmed the droid to call all organics a meatbag.
"Well done, Revan. I was certain that the defenses of the Star Forge would destroy you, but I see now that there is more of your old self in you than I expected."
―Malak to Revan
After finding the final Star Map, Revan and the crew discovered the Star Forge in the home system of the ancient Rakata. Upon arriving, the Ebon Hawk was forced to crash on the unknown planet because of its disruptor field. Revan was assaulted by warriors of the Rakatan tribe, but after seeing Revan's power, she and her crew were granted an audience with the One. The One told Revan about her original promise to kill the Elders and gain their secrets to enter the Temple of the Ancients, so Revan sought out the Elder tribe. When the Elder Council revealed how brutal and warlike the One and his tribe were, Revan and her crew decided to help the Elders. The Elder Council was very reluctant to trust Revan again due to her betrayal the last time they had met.
They tasked Revan with rescuing an Elder scout from the One's enclave in order to regain their trust. Upon arriving at the One's enclave, the One and his tribe turned on Revan and her crew. The entire tribe fell under Revan's strength, and Revan freed the scout. After gaining the support of the Elders, Revan, Jolee Bindo, and Juhani entered the Temple of the Ancients and defeated the hordes of Dark Jedi that Malak had left in the temple. At the top of the temple, Revan was forced to confront a fallen Shan. Following a week of torture at Malak's hand, she had at last given in to her hate and had embraced the dark side. She was now, she claimed, the Dark Lord's new apprentice, replacing the slain Bandon. After a short duel, Shan realized Revan was still powerful in the Force, despite what the Council had done. She attempted to entice Revan to reclaim her former identity as the Dark Lord of the Sith with her as her apprentice. Revan was faced with a decision that could alter the course of the galaxy. Revan chose the path of a Jedi, and rejected Shan's temptation and ultimately chose the path of a neutral. Enraged, she retreated to the Star Forge. Revan and the crew repaired the Ebon Hawk and pursued Shan as a Republic fleet that had arrived commenced an assault on the Star Forge. Surviving Jedi from Dantooine's destroyed enclave boarded the Star Forge in hopes of disrupting Bastila's battle meditation so the Republic capital ships could close in to destroy the Star Forge. Aboard the Star Forge, Revan displayed her restored affinity for the Force and mastery of lightsaber combat by nearly single-handedly confronting and defeating Malak's army of Star Forge battle droids and Dark Jedi. In the Star Forge's war room, Revan faced off against Shan once again, this time, alone. Though Shan was able to draw on the Star Forge to renew her strength, Revan still bested her. She begged Revan to kill her after all she had done, but Revan attempted to convince her to return to the light side by drawing on the powerful bond they shared. She succeeded, and Shan used her battle meditation to aid the Republic, turning the tide of the climactic battle.
"Once again, we shall face each other in single combat, and the victor will decide the fate of the galaxy."
―Malak to Revan
Revan then confronted Malak who, upon her arrival, used the Force to choke two Jedi prisoners, and threw his lightsaber into one and blasted the other with Force lightning, killing both. The former Dark Lord told Malak that if he surrendered the Jedi might show him mercy, but Malak replied that the wiping one of one's identity was no act of mercy, and that he would rather die. He then unleashed the unlimited army of Star Forge battle droids upon Revan and escaped to the Star Forge's observation tower. Revan, however, managed to stop the droids from attacking and followed Malak to the observation tower. Realizing that Revan had become stronger than she ever was as the Dark Lord, Darth Malak said that he could break his former Master's will and bind her to him as his apprentice, but he continued that perhaps Revan was too powerful to be his apprentice, and perhaps that when, or if, Revan became stronger than him, she would betray him, as he himself had betrayed Revan. The former Dark Lord said that she would never turn to the dark side again, which Malak said were "foolish words". They then began a lightsaber duel, whose victor, unlike in their previous duels, would decide the fate of the galaxy. During the vicious duel between the two, Malak withdrew from battle, explaining to Revan that he could not be defeated. He told Revan that he had brought the bodies of Jedi from the Jedi Academy on Dantooine to the Star Forge, but instead of letting them become one with the Force, he drained the life from them, transferring it to himself. Revan, instead, freed as many of the Jedi as she could and allowed them to become one with the Force, successfully shortening Malak's supply of energy and delivering a fatal blow. At last, Malak was brought to his knees, mortally wounded. Before he died, Malak wondered and asked Revan what would have happened had their roles been reversed, or if Revan had never led him down the dark path. Revan apologized for starting him down the dark path, but reminded Malak that he had continued down it willingly. Malak accepted her apology, realizing that he had no one to blame for his fate save himself. Thus, the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Malak's life ended in darkness and regret immediately prior to the Star Forge's destruction. Revan and her crew were given a hero's escort back to Lehon. There, they were each rewarded with the Cross of Glory, the Republic's highest award. Vandar also thanked Revan, re-bestowing her rank of Jedi Knight, and proclaiming her the Prodigal Knight, and her friends as the heroes of the era and galaxy. This ceremony was broadcasted across the HoloNet.
Following the Battle of Rakata Prime, it was rumored that Revan intended to return to the warring Korriban so as to subdue the threat of any potential Sith insurgents. Thousands of years later, Revan was indeed credited with having "driven the Sith from Korriban". Not long after that, Revan was elevated to the rank of Jedi Master. Since defeating Malak, Revan regained more and more of her memory, including her knowledge of the Trayus Academy on Malachor V, and the Sith teachings she had harnessed there. According to Kreia, Revan's first and last Jedi Master, Revan rediscovered the threat posed by an ancient Sith faction known only as the "True Sith" that lurked within the Unknown Regions and resolved to battle against them. She would later say to her last student that she did not believe the Jedi Council had changed Revan as they claimed, but that they had merely stripped away the surface and allowed her true self to emerge once again. During Revan's final duel with Malak, Malak said to her that the balance was tipped one way, but that it could easily be tipped again.
Revan's mind had fully healed, many of her memories had returned, along with her sense of self. But Revan knew that parts were still missing. She was experiencing visions of a great darkness in the form of a planet covered in never-ending storms but was unable to recognize this world. Revan—Jedi; hero; traitor; conqueror; villain; savior. She was all these things and more. She was a living legend; the embodiment of myth and folklore; a figure that transcended history. However, Revan preferred anonymity and was not encashing her celebrity status. Revan had chosen to reside in Coruscant because its enormous population would make it easy for her to blend into the crowd. Even now, two years after rediscovering her true identity, she still had trouble reconciling the face in the mirror with the woman she had been before the Jedi Council had turned her back to a neutral state. Revan was also on shaky terms with the Jedi Order. As Revan frequently experienced visions of a world she did not recognized, she became determined to uncover the mystery behind it. She ventured in to the Galactic Market, and met Canderous Ordo in the cantina Dealer's Den, and told him of her dreams. She also questioned the Mandalore on why the Mandalorians suddenly decided to attack the Republic, and Ordo revealed that it was the idea of Mandalore the Ultimate, though no one quite knew his reasoning. Revan asked Ordo to look into it, and he reluctantly agreed, despite having spent the past five years attempting to avoid all contact with other Mandalorians.
Revan was regarded as a legend and a great hero of the Jedi Order. Despite betraying the Jedi and nearly conquering the Republic, the death of Darth Malak at the hands of Revan single-handedly redeemed her reputation in the eyes of most of the Jedi and the Republic, both of which welcomed her back with open arms. Although she left to confront the ancient Sith Empire on a solitary quest, Revan's victory over Malak provided the Republic with three centuries of relative peace and prosperity. However, the Emperor would use that time to simultaneously strengthen the military might of his empire and to weaken the Republic and the Jedi from within. Though she eventually rejected the mantle of Dark Lord of the Sith and returned to a neutral side, Revan's legacy as a very powerful Sith Lord would live on in a holocron that she had constructed during her reign. Hidden away on the planet Lehon, within the Temple of the Ancients, it would remain undisturbed for nearly three thousand years. Having become obsessed with the knowledge and prowess of the ancient Sith, Revan in particular, Darth Bane traveled to Lehon in search of power enough to topple the existing Sith regime, the Brotherhood of Darkness. Despite Revan's turn to a neutral side of the Force, Bane regarded her as one of the greatest Sith Lords in history. Once there, he discovered Revan's holocron and from it received training and instruction that, he felt, surpassed the entirety of the Korriban Academy's archives. After obtaining all the trainings from Darth Revan's holocron, Bane destroyed it as was the way of the Sith to eliminate things that were of no further use. Partially through the wisdom and Sith philosophy imparted to him by Revan, Bane would acquire the strength, power, and knowledge necessary to reshape the Sith as he saw fit, destroying the Brotherhood of Darkness and establishing the Rule of Two, thus birthing a new incarnation of the Sith Order; one that would go on to topple the Galactic Republic and all but destroy the Jedi Order. During the New Sith Wars, the Zelosian Sith Lord Darth Rivan would choose his name from a corrupted Sith manuscript that misidentified Revan as "Darth Rivan, the most powerful Dark Lord of the Jedi Civil War".
As of now, Revan, or more commonly known as Calista(or Cal, for short.) is unknown.
Calista Jarrde. However, her birth name is Revan, which she no longer goes by.

Personality:
Before her fall to the dark side of the Force, Revan was a very gifted Jedi whom possessed the potential to become a champion of the Jedi Order, as believed by Jedi Master Vandar. In addition to her exceptional skills, Revan was also noted for having a charismatic personality and insatiable desire for knowledge. Her abilities in charisma and persuasion were more than powerful enough to win the personal loyalty of countless Republic soldiers, including thousands of Jedi who willingly stood with her against the wishes of the Jedi Council. As a general, Revan was acknowledged as the greatest military tactician of her time, especially due to the fact that her entry into the Mandalorian Wars was a pivotal turning point for the all but defeated Republic. Intelligent and decisive, Revan won the devotion and admiration of not only her followers, but also the Mandalorians, many of whom were humbled after being defeated by Revan's tactics. As a military strategist, her exploits were legendary throughout the Galactic Republic.
History:
"Hero, villain, savior, conqueror. You are all things Revan… and yet you are nothing. In the end you belong to neither the light nor the darkness. You will forever stand alone."
―Darth Malak
Revan—renowned as the Revanchist, honored as the Revan, reviled as Revan the Butcher, dreaded as the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Revan, and praised as the Prodigal Knight—was a Human female who played pivotal roles as both Jedi and Sith in the Mandalorian Wars and the Jedi Civil War. Believed to have been born in the Outer Rim Territories, the woman later known as Revan was born around the year 3994 BBY and studied under a number of different Jedi Masters as a Padawan of the Jedi Order. Becoming fast friends with a fellow student named Alek, she became a Jedi Knight and was a vocal and charismatic critic of the Order's inactivity in the ongoing Mandalorian Wars between the Galactic Republic and the Mandalorian warrior culture. Leading the Revanchist movement the Knight donned the mask of a fallen Mandalorian as she joined the Republic Military's fight and was appointed Supreme Commander.
However, when Revan defeated the Mandalorian leader Mandalore the Ultimate at the Battle of Malachor V in 3960 BBY, Revan and her friend Alek, now known as Malak, followed the trail of a mysterious Sith influence on the Mandalorian Wars to the Unknown Regions, where the two discovered a reconstituted Sith Empire and were turned to the dark side of the Force by the Sith Emperor. Sent back to the Republic as advance agents, the newly-anointed Dark Lords of the Sith Darth Revan and Darth Malak broke free of the Emperor's mental control and established their own empire with the Star Forge, an ancient space station of great power that had been built by the Rakata species. In the resultant Jedi Civil War, Revan was betrayed by her Sith apprentice Malak and captured by the Jedi Knight Bastila Shan, who saved Revan and formed a Force bond between them.
Her mind wiped, Revan was given a new identity as a Republic soldier by the Jedi Council, but when Malak attempted to capture Shan aboard the Republic warship Endar Spire above the planet Taris, Revan joined forces with the Republic officer Carth Onasi and a number of other individuals on Taris to rescue Shan and escape the world before Malak destroyed Taris's surface. On Dantooine, the amnesiac Revan was retrained as a Jedi Padawan and sent on a mission to locate the Star Maps, Rakatan artifacts that would lead the way to the Star Forge, and Revan gained new allies and grew close with Shan during their travels. However, when the group was captured by Malak, Revan's true identity was revealed and Shan was captured, forcing Revan and her crew to find the final Map and locate the Star Forge on their own. Aboard the Star Forge, Revan brought a fallen Shan back to the light side of the Force and defeated Malak, earning the Cross of Glory and the title of Prodigal Knight.
Revan soon sank into obscurity for several years until her resurfacing memories led her to leave the republic behind in a search for answers in the Unknown Regions, and she was held captive by the Sith for three years until a former lieutenant of hers named Meetra Surik rescued her with the help of the Sith Lord Scourge. The trio's attempt to eliminate the Sith Emperor failed, and Revan was held captive by the Emperor for three hundred years until she was finally freed by Republic forces. Taking control of the Rakatan Foundry, Revan attempted to construct an army of extermination droids to destroy the Empire, but the Jedi Master vanished when she was defeated by an Imperial strike team and she was never again seen in the greater galaxy. Her legacy, however, would live on; the Sith Lord Darth Rivan, who began the thousand-year-conflict known as the New Sith Wars, named himself after Revan after reading a damaged manuscript about the Sith Lord, and the Sith Lord Darth Bane discovered Revan's Sith holocron on the planet Lehon and used Revan's teachings to develop the Rule of Two philosophy.
Biography:
A Human female, the individual later known as Revan was born in approximately 3994 BBY, and some believed that she had been born in the Outer Rim Territories. In 3993 BBY, the dying Jedi Duron Qel-Droma had a Force vision of Revan standing victorious over a Sith Lord while wearing Qel-Droma's robes, and the man died a peaceful death knowing that the future was secure. The child who would be remembered as Revan was eventually discovered to be Force-sensitive and was accepted into the Jedi Order. The Jedi Master Kreia claimed to have been her first teacher in the ways of the Force. Regardless of the truth of her statement, the Human was trained along with a fellow student named Alek on both the planet Coruscant and at the Jedi Enclave on the planet Dantooine. Both received further training from the Twi'lek Jedi Master Zhar Lestin, who noted that the future Revan possessed what he described as an insatiable desire for knowledge. Lestin believed that it was simply youthful exuberance and eagerness, and he expected the young woman to become a champion of the Order—a sentiment shared by Master Vandar Tokare, though Master Vrook Lamar was wary of the student's desire for knowledge.
The Jedi studied under a number of Jedi Masters after leaving the tutelage of her first teacher, learning from Master Lestin, the Enclave's chronicler Master Dorak, and Arren Kae. The former Jedi hopeful Mical later claimed that Revan had undertaken a thorough study of Force bonds and other uncommon Force powers during her time as a Padawan. Alongside Alek, the future Revan achieved the rank of Jedi Knight sometime before the year 3964 BBY, and the two were widely acknowledged as being among the most promising members of the Jedi Order. However, Alek's friend was commonly recognized as the more powerful and intelligent of the pair, and she was seen as the leader among the two. By 3964 BBY, Alek's friend was a well-known, charismatic, and powerful Jedi Knight.
That year, the Mandalorian warrior culture began an invasion of the Galactic Republic's territories in the Outer Rim, bringing the Mandalorian Wars to the larger galaxy. Outraged at the Jedi Council's refusal to involve the Order in the conflict, the young Jedi Knight began to move among the Order, arguing that the Jedi should actively aid the Republic Military in its fight against the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders. The Republic media branded her as the "Jedi's own crusader," and the "crusader" gradually gathered a following of like-minded Jedi as the number of military and civilian casualties continued to rise. Alek was the first to join the cause, and his friend soon became considered to be the honorary "Master" of those who followed her.
With the backing of Alek and her other followers, the Jedi decided to journey to the war front against the wishes of the Jedi High Council so that she could scout the enemy lines. On the way, she and her followers stopped on the planet Taris in the Ojoster sector in order to meet with the Jedi Master Lucien Draay. The "crusader" hoped to recruit more Jedi to her cause from the Jedi Tower on Taris, but neither Draay nor any of the other Jedi there were willing to oblige. Not long after departing Taris, the Knight left Alek and the majority of her followers on the planet Suurja while she herself investigated Mandalorian activity on Onderon and its moon Dxun. However, many of her followers were captured by Mandalorians in an ambush at Suurja. Considering her findings to be "disturbing," the Knight reported her findings to the Jedi Council on Coruscant shortly after the Republic officially entered into the Mandalorian Wars, though the Council once again told her that the Order had no place in the war. In response, the Council dispatched Revan on a mission to rescue those Jedi who had been captured. As she departed the Council chambers on Coruscant, the Knight encountered Master Draay and, after a brief conversation about their views on the war, she departed to complete her assignment.
The Jedi's followers, including Alek, were eventually rescued from the Mandalorian scientist Demagol on the planet known as Flashpoint by the fugitive Jedi Padawan Zayne Carrick, who had been framed by his former Master Lucien Draay for the Padawan Massacre. Once reunited with Alek and her followers, the Knight continued her campaign for Jedi intervention in the Mandalorian Wars, but in a different fashion. Finding herself to be a celebrity to the larger Republic as the head of the Revanchist movement—as her faction became known—she was cast by the Republic media in the role of a crusading savior who was wrongfully ignored by the Jedi Council. Though she was first referred to as "the Revanchist Leader" in news reports, the young Jedi Knight soon became known simply as "the Revanchist."
Over the course of the year 3963 BBY, the Revanchist continued to travel the galaxy and bring her message of Jedi intervention to all who would listen. A Cathar Jedi named Ferroh, one of the Revanchist's followers, brought the planet Cathar to the Revanchist's attention. Ferroh's entire species had vanished from their homeworld ten years prior, and the Revanchist—believing that the Mandalorians were responsible—began showing other Jedi the abandoned world in order to convince them that the Mandalorians needed to be stopped. She and Alek were on Cathar when Mandalorian forces under the command of their leader Mandalore the Ultimate attacked the planet Serroco. In the Battle of Serroco, the Mandalorians bombed the planet's surface with nuclear warheads, and both the Revanchist and Alek felt the death of thousands of innocents from several sectors away. Not long afterwards, The Revanchist was invited by Lord Arkoh Adasca, the head of Adascorp, to bid on weaponized exogorths that the businessman sought to sell to any faction in the Mandalorian Wars. The Knight was unable to attend the auction due to pressing business elsewhere, so she sent Alek in her place. Several Jedi had visions that Adasca's exogorths could change the course of the war, so the Revanchist instructed her friend to ensure that the danger the weapons posed was eliminated. In the aftermath of the Adasca affair, the Revanchist was rumored to be arranging a meeting between several Jedi opinion-makers.
Shortly after the Adasca affair, the Taris Siege, and the bombardment of Jebble, Lucien Draay was appointed to the Jedi Council. He reported to the Council that Republic intelligence reports indicated that there was a blow to the Mandalorian's plans of conquest, reportedly by an insurrection within their own ranks, and stated that the "interventionist path" sought by the Revanchist was wrong for both the Republic and the Jedi. The Council approved his motion, which ordered the recall, or if necessary, detention, of the "prowar renegades." The Jedi Council sent Alek back to the Revanchist and her followers with a final warning after Alek, now going under the guise of "Captain Malak," testified to the Jedi Council against the secret cabal known as the Jedi Covenant.
Dark Lord of the Sith:
As newly willing servants of the Emperor, Darth Revan and Darth Malak followed the Dantooine and Kashyyyk Star Maps to locate similar Star Maps on Manaan and Korriban. On Korriban, Revan delved further into the dark side while plundering the tomb of the ancient Sith Tulak Hord. Among the Sith relics he recovered from the tomb was Tulak Hord's mask, and the two Sith soon located the Star Map in the depths of the tomb of the ancient Sith Lord Naga Sadow. During this time, Revan created her own Sith Holocron, which contained Revan's thoughts on the nature of the relationship between a Sith Master and apprentice. By 3959 BBY, using information from the four Star Maps, Revan and Malak were able to triangulate the location of the Star Forge in the Lehon system. However, their ship crashed on the planet Lehon upon arrival, and the two were taken captive by the native Black Rakata. Unable to understand the primitives' language, Revan tore the knowledge from the One, the Rakatan leader.
Speaking with the One, Revan made a deal with the Rakata: in exchange for the theft of an ancient tome from the rival Elder tribe, the One would help Revan and Malak gain access to the Temple of the Ancients, a nearby structure that was the key to accessing the Star Forge but was sealed without a spoken ritual from the tome. However, when Revan and Malak met with the Elders, Revan instead allied herself with them. During her time among the Rakata, Revan spoke to Ll'awa, a Rakatan researcher who was attempting to restore the Force-sensitivity of his species, and Revan reached a compromise with the Elders: they would open the Temple of the Ancients for her and her alone if she would destroy the Star Forge and help the Elders free themselves from their dark past. However, once the Elders opened the Temple, Revan broke her word and entered the Temple with Malak, and the two used the knowledge they gleaned from the Temple to shut down the disruptor field around the planet and to access the Star Forge. Before departing, Revan left her holocron in the lowest level of the Temple.
However, the pair had broken free of the Emperor's control by the time they boarded the Star Forge in orbit above the star Abo, and the two former Jedi—their minds still twisted to the dark side—interpreted the Emperor's mental commands as their own desires. Darths Revan and Malak declared themselves Dark Lords of the Sith and leaders of a new Sith Empire, and Darth Revan took on Darth Malak as her Sith apprentice. Assuming command of the Republic ships and soldiers who had followed her into the Unknown Regions, Revan made them into the military of her new Empire, and he used the Star Forge to manufacture ships, weapons, and other war materiel to supply them. The Sith Lords quickly reclaimed Korriban, reestablishing the Sith Academy so as to supply their Empire with Sith.
Revan had continued to study the Star Forge, and she came to the realization that it was capable of far more than just the creation of weapons. Taking a fragment of the Star Forge, no bigger than a fingertip, Revan experimented with it and discovered that the device fed on whatever it was given—whether it be the Force or simply basic mass—and returned the basic building blocks of life: water, air, carbon, and even life. She left the fragment in the depths of the moon Nar Shaddaa in the care of a number of alien slaves in a large complex. The slaves, whose descendants came to know Revan only as a godlike figure known as "the Revan", remained loyal to the Revan's instructions and cared for the "Infinite Engine." However, Revan also acknowledged that the Star Forge itself was a threat, as the Rakata's reliance on the station had led to their destruction. As a result, Revan minimized her exposure to the Star Forge beyond taking a fragment and constructing her fleet, a decision that Malak saw as weakness.
For her first attack as part of a planned twenty-year campaign against the Republic, Revan used her knowledge of the Republic Military's inner workings and attacked the shipyards of Foerost in 3958 BBY. In the Battle of Foerost, Revan's forces seized most of the Republic warships there and destroyed the rest, beginning the Jedi Civil War. When the Republic officer Saul Karath defected to Revan's forces, Revan eventually promoted Karath to commander of the entire Sith fleet. However, Malak ordered the Admiral to bombard the surface of the planet Telos IV with his flagship Leviathan, despite the fact that Revan had intended to conquer the planet. As the title of Darth was previously unknown to the Republic and the Jedi at that point in time, many scholars later believed that Revan and Malak were the first Sith to use it, and they speculated that the title was derived from the Rakatan language.
During the war, Revan ordered the assassination of a number of political figures, including an Echani Senator and Senators Mimas Yoon of Corellia and Lelin-Dor of Serroco. It was Revan's intention to leave the Republic economy and military functionally intact, so that she could rebuild a stronger Republic and confront the mysterious threat Revan remembered in the Unknown Regions. However, the Echani general Yusanis learned of Revan's role in the Echani Senator's death and challenged the Sith Lord to a duel, though the general was slain in combat with Revan. Not long after the Battle of Foerost, Revan entered into a partnership with Czerka Corporation, offering them a trade monopoly within the territory of her empire in return for logistical and economic support. With Revan's support, Czerka established their regional headquarters in the colony of Dreshdae on Korriban near the Sith Academy. A major part of Revan's battle strategy was the capture and corruption of Jedi; any captured Jedi would be tortured and converted into Dark Jedi and Sith, and Revan's specially-trained Sith assassins struck at targets across the galaxy, capturing enemy Jedi and killing those who would not turn.
By 3957 BBY, Malak had begun to resent his Master, and he openly expressed his opinion that Revan was too soft to be a Sith while the two were aboard Revan's flagship. Malak's comments sparked a duel between the two that ended when Revan delivered a lightsaber strike to his apprentice that removed Malak's jaw. Malak survived the fight, but was forced to wear a large metal prosthesis over his lower face and spoke through a vocabulator for the rest of his life. Around that time, Malak asked HK-47 what he thought of him, and Revan was so amused by HK-47's description of Malak as a "meatbag" that she programmed the droid to refer to all organics as such. The success of HK-47 led Revan to decide that more droids like him would help maintain galactic stability, and HK-47 became the basis for the HK-50 series of droids which were constructed on Telos.
Later that year, the Jedi Council set a trap for Revan, sending a small fleet to the Outer Rim as bait. Revan attacked the fleet, but a small Jedi strike team led by the Jedi Knight Bastila Shan—who was capable of battle meditation, a Force ability that strengthened one's allies and weakened enemies through the Force—attacked Revan's flagship. Revan dispatched several Jedi and Republic soldiers when they attacked her on the command deck of her vessel, but Shan and three other Jedi arrived to confront the Sith Lord before she could leave the bridge. Malak, on his own vessel nearby, sensed that Revan was in danger and decided to take advantage of the situation to take his Master's place. Just as Revan prepared to duel Shan and the other Jedi, Malak's vessel opened fire upon the bridge of Revan's ship. Amid the confusion, Shan rushed forward and delivered a Force push to the Sith Lord's chest, sending her flying, but Revan was critically injured in the explosions and the fighting that followed. The only survivor of her strike team, Shan saved Revan's life with the Force and took her to safety—forming a powerful Force bond between them in the process. Shan brought the comatose Sith Lord with her to Dantooine, where the Jedi Order healed Revan's broken body, and the Jedi Council decided to take action against Revan: joining together, the members of the Council wiped Revan's mind clean, erasing her memories and giving her a new identity- that being Calista Jarrde, a soldier from the planet Deralia.
Revan Reborn:
In order to learn the source of Revan's fleet and the key to defeating Darth Malak, the Council decided to rely upon Shan's bond with Revan and draw out her memories to find the answers. Shan was charged with keeping Revan's identity hidden, and she was placed in command of the Hammerhead-class cruiser Endar Spire. Now believing herself to be a Republic soldier, Revan was enlisted in the Republic Military under a false name and with a false background, and she was assigned to the Spire. In 3956 BBY, the Spire was ambushed above Taris by Darth Malak, who had been hunting Shan relentlessly the last few months after Revan's apparent death.
Revan awoke in the middle of the battle and proceeded to fight her way off the ship with the aid of fellow Republic soldier Trask Ulgo, who sacrificed himself to save Revan from a "Dark Jedi"—none other than Darth Malak's apprentice, a former Jedi named Darth Bandon. Along with the Republic captain Carth Onasi, she managed to escape in the last escape pod on the Endar Spire just moments before it exploded.
After crash-landing on the surface of Taris, Revan was knocked unconscious. Onasi dragged Revan from the crash site, where Revan began experiencing flashbacks through the Force of her buried past. The two discovered that Shan had been captured by the Black Vulkars swoop gang and was being offered as a prize to the winner of a swoop race tournament called the Tarisian Season Opener.
With help from the Vulkars' rival, the Hidden Beks, as well as a young Twi'lek female by the name of Mission Vao and her Wookiee friend Zaalbar, who swore a life debt to Revan after being rescued by her from Gamorrean slavers, Revan entered the tournament herself and was able to win Shan's freedom. These accomplishments were enough to attract the attention of the Mandalorian mercenary Canderous Ordo, who gave Revan an offer to escape Taris: stealing the Ebon Hawk, an extraordinarily fast freighter from the Exchange crime lord Davik Kang.
After Revan and her companions were able to steal the bypass codes to the Sith blockade overhead from the Sith base, with the help of their new droid companion T3-M4, Ordo introduced Revan to Kang as someone wanting to join the Exchange. While Kang ran a background check, Revan and her newfound crew broke into the hangar in an attempt to steal the Ebon Hawk. There they were confronted by Kang and the infamous bounty hunter Calo Nord. During the short firefight that ensued, Malak ordered the Sith admiral Saul Karath to bombard the planet saying "Wipe this pathetic planet from the face of the galaxy!" The resulting bombardment resulted in Kang's death, and allowed Revan and her crew to make their getaway.
Deciding that they needed to regroup, Revan and her companions fled to the Jedi Enclave on Dantooine. Shan spoke to the Jedi Council of "recent developments", and once being informed of Revan, the Council requested an audience with her. Onasi found that the invitation was unusual for someone who was apparently not even a Jedi yet, and the Twi'lek Jedi Deesra Luur Jada remarked that he had not seen anyone accepted for training recently. Normally, the Council would not accept an adult for training, but Revan was a "special case". Shan presented Revan to the Jedi Council. Jedi Master Zhar Lestin, a member of the Council, told Revan that they had been discussing her, and that Shan had told them that she was strong in the Force. However, contrary to the other Masters, Vrook Lamar said that they needed indisputable proof of her strong connection to the Force before they could even consider training her. Shan argued that surely all of them could feel the strength of the Force within Revan. Lestin said that they could indeed, though the power was wild and untamed, and that they could not ignore it. Knowing Revan's former identity, Lamar further argued that if they trained her, perhaps the Dark Lord–Revan herself–would return. Not wanting to reveal Revan's identity to her, Master Vandar Tokare declared that they would discuss the matter in private. While the Council debated, Revan and Bastila shared a vision of herself and Malak, as Jedi, visiting Dantooine's ruins when they found the first Star Map. After Shan and Revan told the Council of the event, Master Dorak claimed that the ruins had long been known to them, but they believed them to be merely burial mounds. Revan learned from the Masters that she and Shan shared a Force bond, and the Council believed that together, they would both be able to defeat Malak. The Council decided to send them to the ruins in their vision, where they believed they would find some clue as to why she and Malak had been corrupted by the dark side.
After this, she and Shan went to investigate the ruins that they had seen in their vision of Revan and Malak. Once inside, they were confronted by a droid speaking the language of the Rakata, which were, at this time, completely unknown to the rest of the galaxy. It switched to a language resembling that spoken by the Tusken Raiders, but finally changed to something Revan understood. The language happened to be an archaic and ancient dialect of the Selkath language. The droid said that it had been programmed to serve the "builders" if they sought knowledge of the "Star Forge". When asked whether he knew of Revan and Malak, the droid replied that they were neither builders nor slaves, like him, but they had proven themselves worthy, and that they themselves must now do the same.
After passing the tests, they gained access to the room which contained a Star Map, which would help lead them to the Star Forge. Though the Map was not complete, it pointed the way to the worlds of Tatooine, Kashyyyk, Manaan, and Korriban, on which it was suspected more Star Maps could be found. Only with the combined information of these five worlds would Revan be able to rediscover the location of the mysterious Rakatan artifact. Revan and Shan reported their findings to the Council immediately after, and the Jedi Masters agreed that the Star Forge must be found. The Council still wanted Shan to continue drawing out Revan's memories to find the Star Maps. They were also curious to see if Revan could complete this mission without falling prey to the dark side, and reclaiming her former title as Dark Lord. Juhani requested that she join Revan's party in their search for the Star Forge. Onasi expressed confusion over the Council's choice of sending Revan on an assignment that could be the deciding point of the war.
Revan, Shan, and their companions journeyed to these worlds, tracing the steps Malak and his Master had taken years before. During these travels they gained two new companions; on Tatooine, Revan purchased the assassin droid that she created as a Sith Lord, HK-47, and on Kashyyyk, the self-exiled Jedi named Jolee Bindo joined her party on the search for the Star Forge. On each planet, the powerful dark side aura of the Star Maps created perilous conditions that made accessing the Maps difficult. Additionally, the crew of the Ebon Hawk found themselves hunted by Sith and bounty hunters, such as Calo Nord on his last stand on Tatooine, and confronted with the problems of the local populace at every turn. One of their greatest challenges was Darth Bandon, Malak's apprentice, who met his end in a duel at the hands of Revan after she had found the fourth Star Map on Manaan.
"You cannot hide from what you once were, Revan! Recognize that you were once the Dark Lord - and know that I have taken your place!"
―Darth Malak to his old Master
As the crew was searching for the fifth and final Star Map, Revan and her allies were captured by the Sith flagship Leviathan which was under the command of Admiral Saul Karath, Onasi's former mentor. As the Ebon Hawk was being brought in via tractor beam, its crew discussed their escape, and Revan chose a member of her party to escape the Sith and save them from capture.
Revan, Shan, and Onasi were put into Force cages and interrogated by Admiral Karath. After Onasi argued with him and insulted him for the deaths on Telos, Saul said that he was insignificant part of events anyway, and that Darth Malak was far more interested in the two Jedi, who both said that they would never turn to the dark side. From Revan's words, Saul found, unexpectedly, that she did not know of her former identity. He, however, said that he would not be the one to deprive Malak of the pleasure of telling her himself. Karath suspected that he would not succeed in the interrogation, and said that the Dark Lord would no doubt torture them for information and for his own twisted pleasure. He knew, however, that at the time Malak was in another sector and that it may be some time before he would arrive, and so he began torturing them himself.
Revan's will weakened, but she still gave no answers to the former Republic Admiral. Karath revealed that the question was only a test, for Malak, of course, being a former Jedi, knew the location of the Jedi Enclave and had destroyed it. Karath then left the three alone until Malak would arrive, leaving Shan greatly upset by the Academy's destruction, and hoping that the Jedi had managed to escape. Both Jedi soon felt a disturbance in the Force, and they knew that Karath had sent a message to the Dark Lord of their current location. Meanwhile, the party member Revan had chosen to free them found them and deactivated their force cages. Feeling Malak's dark presence approaching, the Jedi devised a plan to escape; go to the bridge, in secrecy, and disable the tractor beam. Onasi was also included in the plan, for he wanted to kill Karath, who would be on the bridge, in revenge. Revan also sent Canderous Ordo and the rest of her crew to the docking bay so that they could deal with the guards.They fought their way to the bridge and confronted Karath and his guards. The Admiral said that if they lay down their weapons, he would ask Darth Malak to be merciful when he arrived–he could have arrived at any minute–but Onasi said that he had seen enough of Sith mercy and attacked him. Revan, Shan, and Onasi slew the Sith troopers and left Karath mortally wounded. His dying words to Onasi were the revelation of Revan's identity. Furious, Onasi accused Shan of keeping the secret from him, and Shan pleaded with Onasi to not let Revan know at the time, and said that she would explain everything to both of them when they had escaped the flagship. Just before they would be able to arrive in the docking bay which held the Ebon Hawk, they were confronted by Darth Malak, the Dark Lord of the Sith. After discovering that Revan still had no knowledge of her time as the Dark Lord, Malak was amused and told her about her true identity, which had been wiped by the Jedi. Stunned and bewildered, Revan refused to believe that she was the former Dark Lord of the Sith, the infamous Darth Revan, until Malak's assertion was reluctantly confirmed by Shan, who said that she had been part of the Jedi strike team sent to capture her. Darth Malak took advantage of Revan's shock and made every effort to sow discord between his former Master and the Jedi who had manipulated her, yet Revan refused to turn against her allies.
Following the intense debate, Malak created a stasis field around both Shan and Onasi, and prepared to end his former Master's life. Malak had always regretted betraying his Master from afar, for because of it, others claimed that he was afraid to personally face Revan for the mantle of Dark Lord of the Sith, but now he had been given a second chance to prove himself. Revan fought valiantly, proving herself a capable swordswoman. Malak, however, caught Revan off guard by using Force stasis on her, but before Malak could finish his former Master, Shan ultimately sacrificed herself so that Revan and Onasi could escape. Reluctantly, Revan and Onasi left, and they and the rest of the crew escaped the ship. Revan was forced to deal with Malak's revelation and the loss of Bastila. When Onasi told the crew of her sacrifice, Jolee Bindo suspected that Malak was planning to turn her to the dark side and use her Battle Meditation against the Republic. Revan then revealed the shocking revelation to her companions. Onasi, who had been told by Karath on the bridge of the Leviathan, was furious but said he would try to accept it. This made no difference to Mission Vao, who said that she was a different person than she was before, and Zaalbar agreed with her, stating that he had sworn a life debt to the redeemed woman Revan had become, not the Dark Lord. Bindo claimed that he had known her identity all along but felt that it was not his place to tell her, and that he would still follow her. Canderous Ordo was simply glad to battle alongside his people's conqueror. HK-47's deleted memory core was restored, and he revealed that Revan was his creator. He also recalled once calling Malak a meatbag, which Revan had found humorous, and programmed the droid to call all organics a meatbag.
"Well done, Revan. I was certain that the defenses of the Star Forge would destroy you, but I see now that there is more of your old self in you than I expected."
―Malak to Revan
After finding the final Star Map, Revan and the crew discovered the Star Forge in the home system of the ancient Rakata. Upon arriving, the Ebon Hawk was forced to crash on the unknown planet because of its disruptor field. Revan was assaulted by warriors of the Rakatan tribe, but after seeing Revan's power, she and her crew were granted an audience with the One. The One told Revan about her original promise to kill the Elders and gain their secrets to enter the Temple of the Ancients, so Revan sought out the Elder tribe. When the Elder Council revealed how brutal and warlike the One and his tribe were, Revan and her crew decided to help the Elders. The Elder Council was very reluctant to trust Revan again due to her betrayal the last time they had met.
They tasked Revan with rescuing an Elder scout from the One's enclave in order to regain their trust. Upon arriving at the One's enclave, the One and his tribe turned on Revan and her crew. The entire tribe fell under Revan's strength, and Revan freed the scout. After gaining the support of the Elders, Revan, Jolee Bindo, and Juhani entered the Temple of the Ancients and defeated the hordes of Dark Jedi that Malak had left in the temple. At the top of the temple, Revan was forced to confront a fallen Shan. Following a week of torture at Malak's hand, she had at last given in to her hate and had embraced the dark side. She was now, she claimed, the Dark Lord's new apprentice, replacing the slain Bandon. After a short duel, Shan realized Revan was still powerful in the Force, despite what the Council had done. She attempted to entice Revan to reclaim her former identity as the Dark Lord of the Sith with her as her apprentice. Revan was faced with a decision that could alter the course of the galaxy. Revan chose the path of a Jedi, and rejected Shan's temptation and ultimately chose the path of a neutral. Enraged, she retreated to the Star Forge. Revan and the crew repaired the Ebon Hawk and pursued Shan as a Republic fleet that had arrived commenced an assault on the Star Forge. Surviving Jedi from Dantooine's destroyed enclave boarded the Star Forge in hopes of disrupting Bastila's battle meditation so the Republic capital ships could close in to destroy the Star Forge. Aboard the Star Forge, Revan displayed her restored affinity for the Force and mastery of lightsaber combat by nearly single-handedly confronting and defeating Malak's army of Star Forge battle droids and Dark Jedi. In the Star Forge's war room, Revan faced off against Shan once again, this time, alone. Though Shan was able to draw on the Star Forge to renew her strength, Revan still bested her. She begged Revan to kill her after all she had done, but Revan attempted to convince her to return to the light side by drawing on the powerful bond they shared. She succeeded, and Shan used her battle meditation to aid the Republic, turning the tide of the climactic battle.
"Once again, we shall face each other in single combat, and the victor will decide the fate of the galaxy."
―Malak to Revan
Revan then confronted Malak who, upon her arrival, used the Force to choke two Jedi prisoners, and threw his lightsaber into one and blasted the other with Force lightning, killing both. The former Dark Lord told Malak that if he surrendered the Jedi might show him mercy, but Malak replied that the wiping one of one's identity was no act of mercy, and that he would rather die. He then unleashed the unlimited army of Star Forge battle droids upon Revan and escaped to the Star Forge's observation tower. Revan, however, managed to stop the droids from attacking and followed Malak to the observation tower. Realizing that Revan had become stronger than she ever was as the Dark Lord, Darth Malak said that he could break his former Master's will and bind her to him as his apprentice, but he continued that perhaps Revan was too powerful to be his apprentice, and perhaps that when, or if, Revan became stronger than him, she would betray him, as he himself had betrayed Revan. The former Dark Lord said that she would never turn to the dark side again, which Malak said were "foolish words". They then began a lightsaber duel, whose victor, unlike in their previous duels, would decide the fate of the galaxy. During the vicious duel between the two, Malak withdrew from battle, explaining to Revan that he could not be defeated. He told Revan that he had brought the bodies of Jedi from the Jedi Academy on Dantooine to the Star Forge, but instead of letting them become one with the Force, he drained the life from them, transferring it to himself. Revan, instead, freed as many of the Jedi as she could and allowed them to become one with the Force, successfully shortening Malak's supply of energy and delivering a fatal blow. At last, Malak was brought to his knees, mortally wounded. Before he died, Malak wondered and asked Revan what would have happened had their roles been reversed, or if Revan had never led him down the dark path. Revan apologized for starting him down the dark path, but reminded Malak that he had continued down it willingly. Malak accepted her apology, realizing that he had no one to blame for his fate save himself. Thus, the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Malak's life ended in darkness and regret immediately prior to the Star Forge's destruction. Revan and her crew were given a hero's escort back to Lehon. There, they were each rewarded with the Cross of Glory, the Republic's highest award. Vandar also thanked Revan, re-bestowing her rank of Jedi Knight, and proclaiming her the Prodigal Knight, and her friends as the heroes of the era and galaxy. This ceremony was broadcasted across the HoloNet.
Following the Battle of Rakata Prime, it was rumored that Revan intended to return to the warring Korriban so as to subdue the threat of any potential Sith insurgents. Thousands of years later, Revan was indeed credited with having "driven the Sith from Korriban". Not long after that, Revan was elevated to the rank of Jedi Master. Since defeating Malak, Revan regained more and more of her memory, including her knowledge of the Trayus Academy on Malachor V, and the Sith teachings she had harnessed there. According to Kreia, Revan's first and last Jedi Master, Revan rediscovered the threat posed by an ancient Sith faction known only as the "True Sith" that lurked within the Unknown Regions and resolved to battle against them. She would later say to her last student that she did not believe the Jedi Council had changed Revan as they claimed, but that they had merely stripped away the surface and allowed her true self to emerge once again. During Revan's final duel with Malak, Malak said to her that the balance was tipped one way, but that it could easily be tipped again.
Revan's mind had fully healed, many of her memories had returned, along with her sense of self. But Revan knew that parts were still missing. She was experiencing visions of a great darkness in the form of a planet covered in never-ending storms but was unable to recognize this world. Revan—Jedi; hero; traitor; conqueror; villain; savior. She was all these things and more. She was a living legend; the embodiment of myth and folklore; a figure that transcended history. However, Revan preferred anonymity and was not encashing her celebrity status. Revan had chosen to reside in Coruscant because its enormous population would make it easy for her to blend into the crowd. Even now, two years after rediscovering her true identity, she still had trouble reconciling the face in the mirror with the woman she had been before the Jedi Council had turned her back to a neutral state. Revan was also on shaky terms with the Jedi Order. As Revan frequently experienced visions of a world she did not recognized, she became determined to uncover the mystery behind it. She ventured in to the Galactic Market, and met Canderous Ordo in the cantina Dealer's Den, and told him of her dreams. She also questioned the Mandalore on why the Mandalorians suddenly decided to attack the Republic, and Ordo revealed that it was the idea of Mandalore the Ultimate, though no one quite knew his reasoning. Revan asked Ordo to look into it, and he reluctantly agreed, despite having spent the past five years attempting to avoid all contact with other Mandalorians.
Revan was regarded as a legend and a great hero of the Jedi Order. Despite betraying the Jedi and nearly conquering the Republic, the death of Darth Malak at the hands of Revan single-handedly redeemed her reputation in the eyes of most of the Jedi and the Republic, both of which welcomed her back with open arms. Although she left to confront the ancient Sith Empire on a solitary quest, Revan's victory over Malak provided the Republic with three centuries of relative peace and prosperity. However, the Emperor would use that time to simultaneously strengthen the military might of his empire and to weaken the Republic and the Jedi from within. Though she eventually rejected the mantle of Dark Lord of the Sith and returned to a neutral side, Revan's legacy as a very powerful Sith Lord would live on in a holocron that she had constructed during her reign. Hidden away on the planet Lehon, within the Temple of the Ancients, it would remain undisturbed for nearly three thousand years. Having become obsessed with the knowledge and prowess of the ancient Sith, Revan in particular, Darth Bane traveled to Lehon in search of power enough to topple the existing Sith regime, the Brotherhood of Darkness. Despite Revan's turn to a neutral side of the Force, Bane regarded her as one of the greatest Sith Lords in history. Once there, he discovered Revan's holocron and from it received training and instruction that, he felt, surpassed the entirety of the Korriban Academy's archives. After obtaining all the trainings from Darth Revan's holocron, Bane destroyed it as was the way of the Sith to eliminate things that were of no further use. Partially through the wisdom and Sith philosophy imparted to him by Revan, Bane would acquire the strength, power, and knowledge necessary to reshape the Sith as he saw fit, destroying the Brotherhood of Darkness and establishing the Rule of Two, thus birthing a new incarnation of the Sith Order; one that would go on to topple the Galactic Republic and all but destroy the Jedi Order. During the New Sith Wars, the Zelosian Sith Lord Darth Rivan would choose his name from a corrupted Sith manuscript that misidentified Revan as "Darth Rivan, the most powerful Dark Lord of the Jedi Civil War".
As of now, Revan, or more commonly known as Calista(or Cal, for short.) is unknown.
