Cool.:)
Just finished putting this together too. Thought some of you might appreciate a more detailed explanation as to the mod's story and characters. Call it a press statement.
KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC : THE JEDI MASTERS
From the ashes of the Sith Triumvirate's devastation, a broken peace has arisen. A panicked senate, who feared the likes of Darth Nihlilus's power once again returning, have outlawed the Jedi. Following this act with increasingly tighter restrictions and curfews, the citizens slowly began to revolt.
Their faith in the Republic shattered, the people have split into five great factions ; Those who remained with the Republic senate, those who found safety with the corporate security of Czerka, those who succumbed to the lure of the Exchange, those of metal who found their savior in the newly self proclaimed Droid Overlord, and those who settled for the enigmatic promises of the mysterious faction which simply named itself 'The Company'.
Although the factions keep to their borders, tensions are forever increasing between them. The outlying Republic world of Telos now officially fully restored, both Droid and company factions fear it as a staging ground for an attack by the ambitious Supreme Chancellor Cressa. Rumors are abound that both the Exchange and Czerka are abusing their people, and all are concerned about the mass production of War Droids taking place on the second moon of M4-78.
Amongst all this, a lone doctor (you), who's true motivations are unclear, has taken it upon themselves to find a man named Revan who might once again unite the galaxy before all finally turns to war. On the advice of a Mandalorian warrior named Canderous Ordo, they set out to establish a truce between the Republic, the Droids, and the company, and to lead all three and their resources into the unknown regions.
Little do they know, that in finding the last location of the legendary Jedi general, they will unleash upon the people an enemy more deadly than they have ever seen. A group of Dark Force users who consider themselves the 'True Sith', which the general has held at bay on the rim of the galaxy for over a decade.
As the true threat returns, Revan must once again unite the five factions under one flag, before all of them face destruction. Beyond this, with the help of his old friends, the doctor, and their party of followers, he must break the will of the chancellor and disobey the laws of the senate. He must unite the protectors of the galaxy away from their hiding. He must unite The Jedi Masters.

Your assistant for over two years Tsig fearlessly follows you wherever you go. A master technician, she's a whizz with either computers or repairs, and is a useful unarmed fighter. She also has quite a traumatic past with Czerka for you to find out about.
- Canderous

Although he still holds the rank of Mandalore, Canderous' plan to lead the Mandalorian clans back to former glory has almost come to a quiet halt. His followers one by one abandoning the base on Dxun, he believes that securing Revan's return to the known galaxy may be enough to justify his wanning years.
- The Shadow

An assassin who's initial allegiances are a mystery, he quickly proves himself by giving up his latest prize and signing up for the quest for Revan. His skills are in stealth and fast, strong attacks.
- Kannos
http://img162.imageshack.us/img162/7837/kannosuf6.jpg)
The leader of the Etti based 'company', Kannos is a master manipulator of people, as well as having a more than shady illegally based past. Although he's very physically week, his words can be poisonous, often turning people into crumbling wrecks before the fighting even starts.
- HK47

Following his victory over the units known as HK50, an action which to some degree disobeyed his own core programing by contradicting his own self preservation protocols, HK came to the realization that he may be able to stretch his personal rules. His full hostile potential released, no longer does he follow a master, but still seeks his original one in the hope of getting the explanation to his year long memory gap.
Proclaiming himself the 'Droid Overlord', he used his newly acquired HK51 brigade to conquer and relocate their production factory to the M4-78 system and elevate it to full production. Following a public call to all the galaxy's droids, hundreds of thousands have flocked to his 'new empire', as all the while his own HK army continues to grow.
- Bastila Shan

After visiting Telos during the attack of Darth Nihilus, she chose to stay there as the official Republic representative, continuing on through to it's current 'restored' status. Despite the outlawing of Jedi, Bastila has always carried her lightsaber with pride. The Republic tends to cast a blind eye as long as she keeps out of trouble.
- THE TRUE SITH
The ancient returning enemy. Are they a species? A cult? An ideal?
Well, you'll just have to play the mod for the answer to that.
What kind of creature is the thing above Revan in your sig?
Looks like a weird Yoda thing.
That would be one of the True Sith themselves. He's a new species I've modeled and kinda the 'shaman' of the small group.
