    For those who are familiar with NJO and have played KOTOR II is the reference to Revan's actions anything to do with the Vong?

    What was he/she preparing the Republic for?

    I believe Revan went off into the Unknown Regions to face the 'real' Sith Empire, whatever that means; Kreia alludes to it, but we're never told exactly what it is. I guess we will just have to wait until KOTOR III.

    There's one in KOTOR I, too:

    Canderous describes a rock-like ship that fired plasma at him and dissapeared.

    Correct -- we don't know yet what, if any, relevance the Vong have to Revan's ultimate "mission," or if the Sith Empire has some other entirely different significance to the saga. And that Canderous Vong-story comes in the first game, not the second.

    I would like to see how the Jedi of old deal with the Vong, are their going to be more philisophical debates about the nature of war as in KOTOR II and NJO.

    What would be really cool would be a three way situation, Sith VS Jedi VS Vong, now that would be interesting

    he is right; that referance was put there explicitly for the vong, however KOTOR I was made on its own much like ANH, thus Revan's future enemies in KOTOR II is really about the real Sith and not a continuation of KOTOR I's referance. however that being said they might connect them in KOTOR III. i never liked the vong or any villian that uses organic ships, but i admit i would really like fighting the Vong with amphistaff in KOTOR III, that would be neat.

    Why would the Vong be there? Early Groups sent just because?

    It was established in the first-edition Alien Anthology RPG book that there was a type of creature that were advance-scouting beasts for the Vong. Seems that more than a couple were glimpsed by the Republic and others thousands of years before the full Vong incursion.

    I actually want to see what the True Sith look like if they make a KOTOR 3 and I also think a nice twist would be if Revan or the Exile or both make the prophecy there seems to be no mention of it in the two previous games and I assume it didn't exist in the time period of the other two games?

    The Slivilith, another advance Vong-scout. Which, along with the Hoojibs, first appeared in Marvel #55, later adapted for the book 'n record/tape release.

    Being as both Dark Nest/Legacy of the Force and KotOR III will apparently deal with a new Sith threat in the Unknown Regions, I don't think Revan went to dig up info on the Vong. No one knew of the Vong then - they hadn't even begun their journey, so why would they be seen as a threat powerful enough to cause Revan and the Exile to leave the known galaxy? The Sith, on the other hand....hopefully whatever Revan discovers will have repercussions in LotF.

    Do you mean the Sith as a species? Ludo Kressh and the massassi warriors are pretty much what they looked like.


    Although there was no mention of the Jedi prophecy in either game, the "Sith'ari" prophecy is talked about on Korriban.

    Maybe it Doesn't have to be the Yuuzhan Vong.

    There could be a group from the Vong's galaxy who have been fleeing the destruction. From NJO we know the Vong got medieval with all the other species in their galaxy, another lot flees, some Vong follow and hey presto are led to the Star Wars Galaxy, it just takes an awful long time to get to the Star Wars Galaxy.

    This gives the idea of a Vong Recon sized force not capable of conquest but interested in causing as much destruction as possible and getting the message back to their boss.....

    And in the final cutscene as the Vong fleet is layed to waste by the strengthend Republic forces led by Revan and Exile a lone corralskipper slinks away......

    If there were Vong in KOTOR III, it would give a bit more credibility to the whole "I hit you with my lightsaber half a dozen times and you're not dead" thing.

    What if the Vong were part of the remnats of the "True" Sith Empire. The manipulation of midichlorians by the Sith makes sense seeing how the Vong are a void in the force...they have no midichlorians, maybe their leaders sucked out the force and the Force stripped all other Vong of the Force...its only a possibility.

    No, they can't live without midi-chlorians, and the Yuuzhan'tar stripped the Vong of the Force.

    Vong reference in KOTOR2:
    Kreia about Telos: But it shall be a homeworld, again to others, who will stretch out across the galaxy and bring life. :confused: :eek: [face_shame_on_you]

    There were Nagai weaponry, so the galaxy knew of them.

    Doesn't have to be Sith, but be people calling themselves Sith, whether they are or not.
