Deep space. A starship passes through, making its way from planet to planet. On board, a battle group of Jedi Knights at least thirty strong sits at the ready, eager to begin their mission. A sudden lurch, a quick slowing, and the ship comes out of hyperspace. The Jedi rise to their feet, lightsabers secured firmly to their belts. At a brisk pace, the Jedi organize themselves into three circular formations. They grab hold of bars that hang down from the ceiling. All at once, the floors in the center of those formations drop out, exposing the Jedi to the exploding, war-torn landscape below. In unison, each of the thirty Jedi jumps down through the holes in the drop ship's floor.
They tumble head-first through the air in a freefall, plummeting toward what seems certain to be a suicidal death. At the last second, they activate devices on their belts, parachutes of quick-hardening liquid shot from a small canister on the Jedi Knight's backs. They float harmlessly to the ground, detach the belt-like devices and, lightsabers igniting, run to join the fray.
Blaster fire is everywhere as blue and green and orange lightsabers clash with red and violet ones. For every Jedi Knight that drops out of the sky to aid in the battle, another Dark Jedi comes forward from the ranks of rebellion to counter them. The cauterized wounds in the bodies of the fallen make for a relatively bloodless battlefield, though bodies cover the landscape as the forces of Light and Dark clash on the ground, in the air and in space. This is the shape that the new Jedi Civil War has taken, and little does either side know, an ancient evil whose name has not been heard in a thousand years threatens to once again rear its head and threaten the galaxy with total domination.
Which side are you on?

The year is 1,008 ABY. The Republic has restored its foothold in the Galaxy along with its reputation for reason and democracy. Once again, at long last, the Galactic Government is the good guy again, one that you can trust to solve your problems without cutting your head off for complaining about them. The Jedi, an order far greater then what it was even at its height a thousand years ago, are once again the guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy.
But not everything is all daisies. Quite the contrary, something is drastically wrong. Within the past twenty years, more and more Jedi have left the ranks of the Order or fallen to the Dark Side. As the number of Dark Jedi has increased, systems all over the galaxy have become increasingly unstable. On some planets, the instability has even come to open war, with the Dark Jedi leading forces of rebellion against the now just and good Galactic Republic. Once again, there is need for a Grand Army of the Republic led into battle by the Jedi Knights.
But that's not even the worst of it. The Sith are an order that have not been spoken of in the better part of a thousand years. In secret, unknown to either the Republic or the Dark Jedi rebellion, they have returned and are once more gaining power in secret. This shadow, far greater then the Dark Jedi menace could ever hope to be, threatens to swallow the galaxy whole. Led by a mysterious new Dark Lord, this new Sith threat could be the greatest the galaxy has known since the days of Emperor Palpatine himself.
It now lays with the heroes of the modern galaxy to decide its fate. Which side will you choose?
