The history of the Knights of the Old Republic takes approximately 4000 years before the rise of the Galactic Empire. Knights of the Old Republic is based around during the Jedi-Sith war timeline where both Sith and Jedi were thriving throughout the galaxy and were at the brink of all out war against one another.

The storyline kicks off where the Mandalorian Wars between the Republic and Mandalorians had ended but with dire consequences for all sides. The Republic was weakened by the conflict despiite the late coming of the Jedi intervention. The outcome of the Mandalorian Wars resulted with a twist of two Jedi who were heroes of the Republic had betrayed them and led a war against the weakened Republic. 

Knowing the risk at stake, the Jedi Council took a gamble to redeem the Jedi who led the war against the Mandalorians and find out what happened after the battle of Malachor V. The Jedi named Revan, was responsible for leading the Republic into victory against the Mandalorians and was very well known for his decisive tactics. It was said that Revan was the only Jedi who drove the Mandalorians back into the Unknown Regions but what did the Jedi discover in the Unknown Regions remained to be seen.

The Republic and Jedi Council plotted a trap to lure Revan and his followers hoping to capture the fallen Jedi hero, although the plan had succeeded under the leadership of a newly Jedi Knight named Bastila Shan. Revan's old apprentice, Malak had betrayed his own master and claim the title of Dark Lord of the Sith.  Revan was wounded severely and was close to dying while Bastila crawled over the fallen hero as she healed Revan but Revan was unconscious and needed medical treatment. Bastila rescued Revan and took the fallen Jedi hero back to Republic space after narrowly escaped the firepower of Malak's flagship pounded his former master's command ship and destroyed it, leaving no trace but sparing Bastila and the Republic for another day.

The game gives you the opportunity to experience how the history of Revan and Malak's adventure had led them to the dark side, after escaping Taris as a soldier and taken refuge on the planet Dantooine. Star Wars fans will hear about the Dark Lord of the Sith had been defeated by Bastila and she was a hero although with your characters appearance and age, Bastila reveals the Jedi Council that you are strong with the Force and later discover you are somewhat connected to her fate as well.
