The group proceeds to seek out the remains of the now-devastated Jedi Order, finding allies in everyone from a technician who previously served under the Exile to the new Mandalore as he seeks to reunite his scattered people under the leadership of his clan, in the hopes of finding the remaining Jedi Masters and defeating the Sith. The four band together, escaping the complex just as the Sith arrive, and Kreia takes the Exile in as her apprentice. Soon thereafter, the Exile awakens in a mining complex whose inhabitants have been slaughtered by their own droids, with the sole survivors being an old ex-Jedi named Kreia, a smuggler named Atton Rand, and the Hawk's utility droid, T3-M4. After linking up with a Republic warship, the Exile is brought to the brink of death when Sith forces attack the vessel, leaving the former Jedi comatose and adrift in the badly damaged Ebon Hawk. Nearly a decade later, the Exile finally returns to the Republic, only to find it on its knees in the wake of the Jedi Civil War five years before. The Sith Lords tells the story of a former Jedi who was cast out of the Order and lost the ability to feel the Force. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords is the 2004 sequel by Obsidian Entertainment to BioWare's 2003 Knights of the Old Republic.
