Star Wars: KotOR II Site Update

LucasArts’ official Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II website has been updated with a new chronicles section (under Game Info), with a first installment called “A Golden Age.” An excerpt:

It is a time of great expansion in the Old Republic. The JEDI KNIGHTS continue to shine a light of hope into the dark unexplored areas of the galaxy, and the mapping of hyperspace is encouraged and trade routes are discovered; many by intrepid explorers like plucky siblings GAV and JORI DARAGON, who plot uncharted courses in their ship Starbreaker 12. Meanwhile, on the far side of the galaxy, the Sith Empire has grown powerful through centuries of dark Force wielding and magic and the hundred-year rule of the greatest Dark Lord of the Sith, MARKA RAGNOS. The ruler’s death leads to a power vacuum, and two leaders emerge at Ragnos’ grave on the mausoleum planet of Korriban. After a bloody duel, NAGA SADOW and LUDO KRESSH’s fight for destiny is interrupted with the unannounced arrival of Starbreaker 12, and the hapless Daragons are captured immediately.
