The stars are as old as time itself. And between every sun and planet, as well as every rock and tree upon those planets, and energy - The Force - binds all life. In ancient times, the Jedi Order was founded, its members had a sensitivity to the Force and united to use this gift to benefit everyone.

By seeking out others like themselves in the known galaxy, the Jedi began a legacy as peacekeepers that lasted for thousands of years. But their reign was challenged by the Sith, a splinter sect that harnessed the power of the Force for nefarious deeds. And while the sides of light and dark battled, an alliance of planets formed to create the backbone of the original Republic.
