Time played: 5 hours
Planets visited: Kashyyyk, Mannan, Korriban, Unknown
I finally found the space suits. Walking on the deck of the battlecruiser, staring out
into space was an interesting experience. It reminded me how we are still stuck in
the stone age. We haven't even made an orbiting space station worth anything,
colonized the moon, or mars. At this rate, it will be the year 2200 before the first
humans "step foot" outside our own solar system. Pathetic. But I digress...
I got onto the bridge and killed everyone there (self defense, of course). I managed
to unseal the cargo bay doors, so we could leave. However, we had to get there first.
Of course Darth Malak shows up at just the right time to thwart our plans. I fight him
for a bit, and he runs away after a while. Ha! Sith Lord my ass!
Somehow Bastilla manages to find him and says she'll hold him off while we escape.
I think she just has a thing for bald men with decaying flesh. Anyway, she seals herself
in a room with him while we escape.
I go off to kashyyyk to finish up some loose ends, then off to mannan to collect some money.
I then go to korriban to do some tomb raiding. I raid all three tombs (the fourth is sealed), and
return to the sith academy dean to say I am ready for my final test. I just want to get in there
to get the star map, so I play along with the graduation ceremony. I pass the test, then have
the dean and his right hand girl stand before me. Earlier, she said she wanted my help to betray
the dean and kill him. When she said "let's go", I said no. The dean asked who my loyalties were
with, and I told him "for the republic for which it stands", or something like that. I had to fight both
of them at the same time. Nasty.
I prevailed, and now had to hack and slash my way through the entire academy to get back to the
ebon hawk. I showed those sith recruits the true power of the force. With me and jolee with double lightsabres, they didn't stand a chance.
Now that I have the final location of the star forge, I fly off to see it. It is the immense space station that syphons off energy from a star to mass produce giant battle fleets in record time. I let the republic fleet know where the star forge is, and then my engines go out. Carth manages to have a rough landing on the only planet in this star system, and now I have to go out and scavenge spare parts to fix the ship.
Oh, and did I mention that there is a disruptor field coming out of an old temple, and I have to go there to destory the field to save the republic fleet from a trap, rescue bastilla, and defeat malak?
A good jedi's day never ends. I want to play more, but it is past 2am, and my force powers are fading.
