The Outlander The Outlander , later also known as the The Alliance Commander , was a hero of the Galactic War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire , who became an associate of Theron Shan and Lana Beniko during the Revanite crisis . The Outlander helped uncover a conspiracy by Order of Revan members Rian Darok and Darth Arkous and assisted Shan and Beniko in exposing the Revanites on Rishi . The Outlander also joined the Republic - Imperial coalition established by Satele Shan and Darth Marr to stop Revan from resurrecting the Sith Emperor Vitiate on Yavin 4 . Though Revan became one with the Force , the Emperor was rejuvenated and escaped , and the Outlander later tried to stop him during the Invasion of Ziost , only to witness how the Emperor wiped out all life on the planet and fled into Wild Space . When Darth Marr assembled a task force to hunt the former Emperor down , he invited the Outlander aboard his flagship , which was attacked by the Eternal Empire of Zakuul in the galaxy ' s first skirmish with the Eternal Fleet . Separated from their ship and companions , the Outlander and Marr were brought before Immortal Emperor Valkorion by Prince Arcann , who used the opportunity to kill his father and assume his Eternal Throne , blaming the event on the Outlander , who was frozen in carbonite , while Valkorion ' s spirit inhabited their body . Five years later , the Outlander was rescued by Lana Beniko and Koth Vortena , and while escaping Zakuul the three of them found the legendary vessel called the " Gravestone " that could stand against the Eternal Fleet . They took the ship to the shadowport of Asylum , joined by Lana ' s bodyguard droid HK - 55 , Arcann ' s mother Senya Tirall and advanced artificial intelligence calling herself SCORPIO . Escaping Arcann ' s forces during the Battle of Asylum , the crew traveled to Odessen , where the Outlander became known as " The Alliance Commander " of the new Alliance that opposed the Eternal Emperor Arcann . The new Alliance made several bold strikes against the Eternal Empire , which attracted multiple new contacts and recruits , who brought with them starships , weapons and ammunition , allowing the Alliance to grow into a power that could threaten the Eternal Empire . In a bid to remove Arcann ' s advantage of the Eternal Fleet , the Commander agreed to SCORPIO ' s plan to remotely take control of the GEMINI captains , unaware that SCORPIO followed her own agenda and used that opportunity to claim the Eternal Throne for herself . In the resulting battle of Odessen the Commander dueled and defeated Arcann , who was taken by his mother into hiding . Arcann ' s sister Vaylin allied herself with SCORPIO and proclaimed herself the new Eternal Empress and the Commander continued to lead the Alliance against her forces . At attempt by Vaylin to take control of the " Gravestone " led to the discovery of Vaylin ' s mental conditioning placed upon her by Valkorion , after which the Alliance forces had to temporarily abandon the re - discovered artificial world called Iokath when it was covered by deadly radiation . During the Grand Festival of Empress Vaylin the Commander swayed the redeemed Arcann to his side and later during a mission to Nathema the Commander obtained Dramath ' s holocron which could destroy Valkorion once and for all . The Commander killed Vaylin during her assault on Odessen and traveled to Zakuul to claimed the Eternal Throne , where Valkorion revealed that he intended to take the Commander ' s body as his own all along . The Commander battled Valkorion inside the depths of their mind and achieved victory , destroying a millennia - old Sith Entity once for all . The Commander then took control over the Eternal Fleet , transforming the Alliance from an anti - Zakuul insurgency into the Eternal Alliance and a major galactic power . During the renewed hostilities between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire over control of Iokath , the Commander was betrayed by someone from their inner circle . Subsequent mission to Umbara revealed Theron Shan as the traitor , who attempted to kill the Commander , joining with the Order of Zildrog . The Commander survived and continued to operate from the Alliance base on Odessen , pursuing Shan when he found a temporary refuge on the Chiss Ascendancy world of Copero . Biography . A Clash of Destinies . Rise to Power . The individual who would eventually become known as " the Outlander " was born in the decades prior to the Great Galactic War . The Outlander became embroiled in the Cold War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire , and , through extraordinary acts , rose through the ranks , becoming a leading figure in the war that later broke out between the two superpowers . About a year after the Conquest of Makeb , the Outlander investigated a conspiracy that reportedly existed within the ranks of both Republic and Empire , thought to be connected to two high - profile military commanders : Darth Arkous and Colonel Rian Darok . It was believed that the two of them had orchestrated simultaneous attacks on both Korriban and Tython , during both of which the Outlander was present . Teaming up with Republic Strategic Information Service agent Theron Shan and the Sith Lord Lana Beniko , Arkous ' former apprentice , the Outlander traveled to the Selkath homeworld of Manaan to investigate the underwater Genetics Laboratory G - 1 which both Arkous and Darok had visited . Shan alerted the Outlander to the location of Jakarro , a Wookiee smuggler imprisoned by the Selkath geneticist Gorima . The Outlander freed the Wookiee and his droid C2 - D4 and together they discovered that Gorima had received Rakata technology from Arkous and Darok , and was using them to build self - repairing cyborg warriors for an " Infinite Army " . Arkous and Darok revealed themselves to be working together and escaped in a submarine , detonating a bomb intended to sink and flood the facility , though the Outlander and the Wookiee managed to escape in a submarine and make it to the surface . Regrouping with Shan and Beniko , the Outlander learned their joint discovery that Arkous and Darok were both members of the Order of Revan , once believed to be a minor cult operating in the Empire , and now seeking to destroy both Republic and Empire to establish a new order . Continuing their collaboration , Shan and Jakarro tracked Arkous and Darok to Rakata Prime , the homeworld of the Rakata and capital of their Infinite Empire . The Revanites were building their new Infinite army there based on Gorima ' s research and to stop them Shan and Beniko arranged for Jakarro and the Outlander to assault the Temple of the Ancients , while they provided tactical intel from onboard Jakarro ' s XS stock light freighter . Jakarro and the Outlander confronted the Revanite leaders on the roof of the Temple and were forced to kill them when it became clear they would not cooperate . After they were killed , a small fleet emerged from hyperspace , positioning itself in low orbit . After appearing himself before the Outlander and Jakarro team via hologram , the fleet ' s commander revealed himself to be none other than Revan himself . His Harrower - class dreadnought dropped out of Hyperspace and bombarded the Temple of the Ancients , though the Outlander and the Wookiee made it out alive in Arkous ' shuttle . Regrouping with their allies on Manaan , the Outlander discovered that the Revanites had used their influence in the Empire and the Republic to disavow Theron from the SIS and place bounties on Lana ' s and Jakarro ' s heads . The governments of both Republic and Empire had no knowledge of the conspiracy , as Arkous and Darok had effectively managed to cover their tracks , and Shan and Beniko , now branded as traitors , were forced to go underground . The Outlander , being the only one who had not been implicated in the conspiracy , returned to the known galaxy to continue fighting in the war . Shadow of Revan . Several months after the incident on Rakata Prime , the Outlander discovered the coordinates of Rishi on their ship ' s navicomputer and opted to travel to the world . Upon arrival , the Outlander was treated as fearsome member of a pirate gang and eventually discovered that it was in fact Lana Beniko who had tampered with the navicomputer , as Beniko and Theron Shan had been investigating Revanite movements in the Outer Rim since the incident on Rakata Prime . After their associate followed the trail of breadcrumbs to their safe house , Theron and Lana revealed themselves and explained their current situation . They needed to manually slice the files on the Nova Blades ' base of operation while avoiding drawing the Revanites to themselves , hence the masquerade to make it look like a common pirate rivalry . Theron and Lana sent the Outlander , masquerading as the faux pirate gang , out to harass the Nova Blades , attacking their operations and slave camps and threatening the pirate ' alliance with the Revanites . Eventually , they targeted the Blades ' base at the crashed " Aggressor " , killing Commodore Dael Margok and recovering intel on Revanite agents . While Theron got busy decoding the intel , Lana sent the Outlander to meet with Shae Vizla , whose Mandalorian clan was formerly allied with the Blades and Revanites , to acquire more information , revealing that the Revanites had a fleet waiting somewhere on the planet . When the Outlander returned from their excursion to Vizla ' s Tracyn Island , they learned from Jakarro that Beniko allowed Theron to be captured by the Revanites . Beniko then realized that by changing the hyperlanes the Revanites were drawing the Empire and Republic fleets to Rishi , luring them both into an ambush . Thankfully , by that time C2 - D4 decoded that the Revanites were based on the Sky Ridge Island nearby and suggested taking up lodging with the Rishii village based there . The trio traveled there and met with the local Chieftain named Arankau , who allowed them to stay in the village . Beniko stayed behind to help with slicing , sending the Outlander to scout the Revanite camps . Learning that Theron Shan was being kept at their main base , the Outlander went on the rescue mission , though Shan was able to escape the captivity by himself . He then revealed Revan ' s plan - upon both fleet ' s arrival at Rishi , Revanite sleeper agents on both sides would sabotage key systems while the signal jammer on the ground would prevent the fleets from coordinating , at which point the Revanite fleet would move in and massacre the survivors . With his plan exposed , Revan set his stronghold to self - destruct , but Lana was able to remotely abort the sequence thanks to the slicing tricks she picked from Theron . With the signal jammer protected from slicing and aerial bombardment , the Outlander quickly moved in to deactivate the signal jammer , enabling communication with the fleets and revealing to them the Revanite conspiracy . Theron Shan uploaded the identities of double agents , resulting in their impromptu detainment . Grand Master Satele Shan and Darth Marr , who commanded both fleets , agreed to meet in Raider ' s Cove to discuss a temporary truce so they could deal with the threat posed by Revan . Both Republic and Imperial sides agreed to form a temporary truce to stop Revan from resurrecting the Sith Emperor , who was intending to consume all life in the galaxy , and formed a temporary coalition that made their way to Yavin 4 , where Revan planned to enact his endgame . The coalition forces established a staging area on Yavin 4 and were able to apprehend the Imperial Guard Commandant Iven . While on Yavin 4 , the Outlander met a mysterious force spirit claiming to be Revan . As their situation became clear and the time drew to a close , the coalition forces were able to overcome their vast differences and worked together to storm the Temple of Sacrifice and stop Revan ' s ritual . As it turned out , the spirit was Revan ' s light half , the physical man being an embodiment of his darker personality . It was revealed that Revan was attempting to resurrect the Sith Emperor in an attempt to destroy him in a weakened corporeal form , which would end him once and for all . Knowing that he was delusional and understanding that the Empire ' s former leader , if brought back , could not be defeated conventionally , the Outlander led the coalition on one last assault on the Forgotten Terrace at the Temple of Sacrifice , where Revan planned on bringing the emperor back using an ancient artifact . The Outlander stood side by side with Lana Beniko , Darth Marr , Satele and Theron Shan , Jakarro and Shae Vizla , who together managed to defeat Revan , who finally agreed to join with the spirit to make his soul whole once more . Despite Revan ' s defeat the Sith Emperor was nevertheless able to return to life , feeding off the lives taken by Coalition forces during the fighting on Yavin 4 . Some time later , the Outlander was contacted once more by Lana Beniko and Theron Shan , who urged them to visit the Sith world of Ziost in order to investigate an anomaly in which the planet ' s civilians seemed to be acting in a mindless manner . As it turned out , Vitiate had infected the minds of Ziost ' s populace , including the Jedi of the Sixth Line send by Theron to investigate the initial reports . The Outlander killed possessed Jedi Master Garault , after which Beniko approached them and explain the current situation . She assigned her assistant Rane Kovach to help the Outlander in shutting down the Orbital Defense Command Center , where they met with Theron Shan , whose shuttle crashed on the planet . Learning that Shan knocked out Vitiate ' s puppets who came after him by overloading his shuttle , Kovach came up with a plan to free the soldiers from Vitiate ' s control by knocking them out with an electrical charge and departed for New Adasta . Theron then received a priority holocall from Supreme Chancellor Leontyne Saresh , who initiated an Invasion of Ziost , giving Vitiate more pawns to control . After Kovach ' s plan to use the electrical dampeners in New Adasta failed , Beniko came up with an alternative and contacted Theron and the Outlander for help . Theron modified New Adasta ' s electrostatic weapon designed to counter major civil uprisings to be non - lethal , while the Outlander played on Vitiate ' s ego , drawing may of his pawns to New Adasta People ' s Tower . Shielding himself and the Outlander , Theron activated the weapon , which knocked out all of Vitiate ' s puppets except Master Surro , the Sixth Line commander and the last remaining Jedi under Vitiate ' s control . Possessing Surro ' s body , Vitiate incapacitated both Theron and Lana , though the Outlander was still able to free her after a prolonged fight . After evacuating as many civilians as possible , the Outlander witnessed as Vitiate performed his ritual that consumed the entire planet to fuel his strength , turning it into a ravaged , ashy wasteland . The former emperor then fled deep into Wild Space . To Hunt an Emperor . In the days following the Sith Emperor ' s return , things began escalating quickly throughout the galaxy . As the Galactic War continued to ravage various star systems , it was rumored that a pair of twin conquerors had emerged from the depths of Wild Space to cripple both Republic and Empire . They successfully managed to attack as far into Sith space as Korriban , which they nearly annihilated . In an attempt to bring an end to the former Sith Emperor once and for all , the new Imperial leader Darth Marr organized a small fleet of both Republic and Imperial warships to participate in an excursion deep into Wild Space . Already aware of the Outlander ' s abilities due to previous collaboration , he recruited them to help him on the expedition . As they began closing in on the Emperor ' s reported location , the fleet was attacked by a seemingly infinite Eternal Fleet , belonging to the never before seen Eternal Empire . Unable to fight back , Darth Marr ' s flagship was destroyed , with only so many survivors , while Darth Marr and the Outlander who were taken captive by Prince Arcann , son of the leader of the Empire of Zakuul , Valkorion . Captured by the Arcann , the Outlander and Darth Marr were brought before Emperor Valkorion , the Immortal Emperor of the Eternal Empire , who revealed that he was , in fact , the Sith Emperor ' s current form , having built up Zakuul in secret just as he had the Sith Empire , which he now viewed as nearly as weak as the Republic . Valkorion released Marr , offering him a chance to kneel , but the Dark Lord refused and attacked and killed several of Valkorion ' s Knights of Zakuul before the Emperor instantly killed him with a blast of Force lightning . Valkorion ' s daughter Vaylin then had the throne room cleared of everyone save the Emperor himself , Arcann and the Outlander . Valkorion stated that the Outlander ' s deeds has earned his attention and offered to share his empire in exchange for their allegiance . His sin Arcann attempted to assassinate him , but during the struggle Valkorion ' s spirit invaded the Outlander to use as a new host , knocking them out . After Valkorion ' s physical body died , the new Emperor ordered the Outlander to be imprisoned in carbonite on the grounds of assassination . Dream of an Empire . The Outlander was subsequently frozen in carbonite on Arcann ' s orders , who had sensed his father ' s spirit inhabiting the Outlander ' s body . However , the carbon freezing process was imperfect , poisoning the Outlander , though Valkorion ' s presence preserved their life . Valkorion then appeared before the Outlander in their mind and attempted to sway them to his ideals , claiming that the Outlander had the potential to be as powerful as he was and that the current galactic institutions were unworthy of them . In doing so , Valkorion revealed his intention to retake his Eternal Throne from his children , whom he was unable to stop alone . He then revealed to the Outlander that years had passed while they slept , during which the Eternal Empire had subjugated the galaxy . They both noticed Valkorion ' s daughter Vaylin ] looking directly at the Outlander , whom she struck in the chest with her lightsaber . The Fallen Empire . Release from carbonite . Five years after the assassination of Valkorion Lana Beniko was finally able to learn that the Outlander was frozen in carbonite and kept by Arcann in a secured vault that housed his most prized possessions . Beniko mounted a rescue mission and in 3632 BBY she with her astromech droid T7 - O1 infiltrated the Spire of Zakuul while her other allies Koth Vortena and HK - 55 waited in the shuttle that served as their escape route . Unfreezing the Outlander , Beniko quickly administered an antidote . Almost immediately they were attacked by Skytrooper guards and with no time to explain the full situation , Beniko proceeded to escort the Outlander to the extraction point while T7 - O1 went a separate route to generate false alarms in other sectors . Their escape discovered , the two ran away from High Justice Vaylin , an extremely powerful Force user . Attempting to cut off their escape route , Vaylin destabilized a Sun Generator , forcing Beniko and the Outlander to make their way through a Skytrooper factory . The generator threatened to explode taking innocent lives and the Outlander took a detour to disable it despite Beniko ' s protests . With Vortena having problems with their escape shuttle , Beniko and the Outlander had to hold their ground against a couple of Knights of Zakuul named Novo and Tanek , after defeating whom they were cornered by Vailyn . Beniko prepared to sacrifice herself to buy the Outlander time for escape , but instead they were picked just in time by HK - 55 and Vortena in their shuttle . Vaylin caused damage to the shuttle as they escaped , which required Vortena to put in down , crashing in the Endless Swamp . Beniko stayed behind with Vortena to hide evidence of their crash - landing while the Outlander and HK - 55 went ahead to investigate a large technological object detected by the droid . When they reached the object , HK - 55 informed everyone that it was not native to Zakuul and Vortena quickly identified it as the " Gravestone " , the legendary starship that single handedly stood up to the Eternal Fleet . Leaving Vortena to work on the ship , Beniko and the Outlander ventured back into the swamp to locate fresh drinking water . Beniko used this opportunity to bring the Outlander onto speed on the past five years of galactic events and the current state of the major organizations . She also confessed that she felt an unfamiliar presence within the Outlander , who shared the suspicion that Emperor Valkorion was still alive within their mind , an act of honesty which Beniko appreciated . The Outlander then accompanied Vortena back into the swamp to locate the parts ditched from their shuttle that were now essentially to get the ancient vessel airborne again . Vortena used this opportunity to bring the Outlander up to speed with his past in Zakuulan military , thanking the Outlander for preventing the sun generator from causing destruction in the Spire . After inviting some Zakuulan exiles onboard their new vessel , the Outlander returned to the " Gravestone " and got working alongside the rest to repair it , eventually restoring major systems to working conditions . The Outlander then ventured into an area of the ship called the Dark Sanctuary , where Valkorion appeared before them as a Force ghost and promised to share his power with the Outlander . Their position discovered by Skytroopers and Zakuulan Knights , the Outlander and Beniko rushed to defend the ship as Vortena prepared for takeoff . Beniko ' s ally Senya Tirall arrived to join the defense of the " Gravestone " mid - fight , in which the Knights used Zildrog ' s Wedge to isolate Beniko . Valkorion stopped the time and offered the Outlander to use his power to save the Sith , claiming her death was certain otherwise . The Outlander refused and Beniko suffered only a surface wound , and Koth and HK - 55 arrived to finish off the last of Zakuulan forces . With more on their way , the group set to getting the " Gravestone " off the ground , with the Force - users using the Telekinesis to raise the ancient ship from the swamp . As everyone got onboard and the ship left the atmosphere , the Eternal Fleet appeared to intercept them , only for the Outlander to fire the " Gravestone " omnicannon , destroying more than two dozen Eternal Fleet warship s in a single shot and enabling the " Gravestone " to jump into hyperspace . Hostilities soon erupted on the bridge as Koth and Senya ' s past history prevented them from working towards a common goal . The vessel suffered damage , so the group decided to make a stop at the Asylum shadowport for repairs . Asylum . The " Gravestone " managed to limp and to the shadowport and dock as the Asylum , where the Outlander was introduced to Vortena ' s crew , which included Len Parvek and former Republic Sergeant Ralo , who remembered the Outlander from the first skirmish with the Eternal Fleet . Beniko and Tirall went to contact their allies separately , and Vortena asked the Outlander and HK - 55 to search for his engineer Tora , who did not return from a supply run to the Free Zone . After fighting through the local gangs , the Outlander and HK - 55 found Tora in a heap of trouble with Tanno Vik for attempting to steal thermal detonators from him and insulting his mother . After resolving the situation , and sending Tora back to the " Gravestone " , the Outlander and HK - 55 proceeded to their rendezvous point with Senya . Senya opened for them the secret entrance , upon entering which HK - 55 was hit by an electromagnetic pulse that disabled him and wiped his short - term memory . Senya explained to the confused Outlander that the Scions of Zakuul , led by Heskal , wanted to meet with only the two of them to determine whether they would join the Outlander ' s rebellion against Arcann . Heskal explained that for some reason the Outlander remained a blind spot in the Scions ' visions and they had to understand the Outlander ' s role in the events to come before any talk of cooperation . Senya joined the Outlander in persevering through the Scions ' trials , and they were engaged in combat by Scions and had their intentions questioned by Heskal , who insisted that Arcann and Vaylin had to die for their slaughter of the Scions . Still unable to perceive the Outlander ' s fate , Heskal knocked out Senya and engaged the Outlander one - on - one , though Valkorion offered his power once again . The Outlander emerged victorious and stood over defeated Heskal , while Senya pleaded not to harm him , insisting that they needed the support of the Scions . At that moment , the sanctuary was stormed by Hk - 55 , Lana Beniko , Koth Vortena and his crew , who demanded that the Scions stand down . Heskal ordered his men to put away their lightsabers and asked the Outlander a final question about their intentions for the galaxy after Arcann ' s defeat . After the Outlander gave the answer , Heskal shocked everyone by revealing that the reason why the Scions could not see the Outlander future was because Valkorion had survived within their mind . The revelation excited Koth , who believed that Valkorion ' s survival meant salvation for Zakuul , while Lana stated that the Emperor was a threat to all life everywhere . As the Outlander prepared to leave the enclave , Senya confessed her ulterior motive for including herself in the trials , revealing herself to be Arcann and Vaylin ' s mother . The Lady of Sorrows . Everyone returned to the " Gravestone " , where Koth again expressed hostility at Senya for withholding information . The argument was interrupted by HK - 55 , who relayed a message from T7 - O1 on Zakuul , informing them that the information broker known as " Lady of Sorrows " wished to have a dialogue with the " Gravestone " s computers . Beniko deemed bringing the " Lady of Sorrows " worth the risk and Senya Tirall volunteered to accompany the Outlander back to the Old World of Zakuul in a shuttle . Before they departed , Beniko asked the Outlander to act as an example for Koth and Senya to cooperate . Upon arriving to Zakuul in a shuttle , Senya puzzled the Outlander by singing a song , in spite of the fact that they ' re headed into hostile territory , after which she relayed to them her family history . After meeting up with T7 - O1 , Senya went to meet with her contact Reg in the Platform 6 cantina , while the Outlander and T7 - O1 proceeded to gather additional information . However , the Knights were not welcome in the Old World and Reg set Heralds of Zildrog on Senya , who managed to hold her own against the three attackers until the Outlander arrived and helped her finish them off . Afterwards , Senya confronted Reg , who explained that the Heralds made a deal with Arcann ; in exchange for the Knights keeping out of the Old World , the Heralds would keep crime levels down . Senya demanded to know where to find the Lady of Sorrows , but Reg refused , so Senya had to use the Force to demand answers of him , and Reg gave up , pointing Senya and the Outlander to one of the Lady ' s business partners , Mona Gale . Senya and the Outlander found Gale at the Market Station , taking bets on Arena Grand fights . Senya asked Gale on how to contact the Lady , just as a public broadcast from Arcann labeled Senya and the Outlander as dangerous fugitives . This unintentionally gave them some street clout , as Gale admitted that she didn ' t know how to contact the Lady , but suggested they go to the Heralds in Breaktown to get a meeting with her . Senya and the Outlander traveled to Breaktown , but just as they were about to enter the Heralds ' lair , they were interrupted by Koth Vortena , who learned of their destination from T7 - O1 and decided to follow . Koth insisted that the Heralds ' leader , The Exalted , detested Knights and wouldn ' t talk to Senya , arguing that he should accompany the Outlander instead . The Outlander made their decision and took one of them to meet with the Exalted , while the other was ambushed and brought to the Lady directly . Unfortunately , the Exalted refused to cooperate , claiming that Arcann ' s fall was not the Outlander ' s responsibility , and was about to order his Heralds to open fire on the Outlander , but was interrupted by a holocall from Lady ' s Nautolan aide Thea , who told them that the Lady wished to meet the Outlander unharmed and revealing that she had the Exalted ' s son Brennen hostage . She invited everyone to the Razor , but the Exalted ordered his Knights to kill the Outlander just as he departed . The Outlander prevailed and followed him , but was confronted by Novo and his new partner Balisk , who wanted to avenge Tanek ' s death . After defeating them , the Outlander entered the base of operations of the Lady of Sorrows , who was revealed to be an advanced Artificial intelligence calling herself SCORPIO . She killed the Exalted and his Heralds and agreed to accompany the Outlander , departing Zakuul alongside Koth and Senya . Battle of Asylum . On Asylum , SCORPIO requested full access to the " Gravestone " systems , promising to enhance the vessel ' s parameters , but everyone was hesitant on allowing her to do so . Koth Vortena instructed SCORPIO to focus on the hyperdrive first , which she deemed an acceptable arrangement , while Lana Beniko recognized SCORPIO as a former Imperial Intelligence operative , informing the Outlander to remain wary about her . While SCORPIO set to work on the " Gravestone " , Beniko informed the Outlander of her Imperial and Republic contacts , who were willing to join their resistance against the Eternal Throne . The Outlander was then summoned by Heskal back to the Scions ' hideout , and Beniko advised them to be cautious around Scions , calling the zealots unpredictable . The Outlander returned to the Scions Enclave along with T7 - O1 , finding the bodies of the Scions lying at Heskal ' s feet , before Heskal himself was stabbed from behind by Arcann . Arcann then explained that Heskal revealed the Outlander ' s location directly to Arcann in accordance with a prophecy that he had . He offered a deal , requesting that the Outlander return to carbonite until Arcann could exorcise his father from their mind and surrender the " Gravestone " , promising that the crew could leave peacefully . However , Valkorion warned the Outlander that Arcann would betray them and a fight between the two ensued . The Eternal Fleet emerged from hyperspace and opened fire on the shadowport , and a shuttle shot down by SCORPIO with the " Gravestone " cannons crashed into the Scions hideout , allowing the Outlander to escape the fight with Arcann . Receiving a call from Beniko , the Outlander and T7 - O1 rushed back to the " Gravestone " , coming across a trio of Zakuul Knights who carried mortally wounded Heskal . Heskal confirmed to the Outlander that Arcann was telling the truth , and with his dying breath stated that he had seen the future and that it was wonderful to his eyes , before expiring . The Outlander and T7 - O1 returned to the " Gravestone " , where Beniko informed them that Arcann ' s forces had taken control of docking clamps keeping the " Gravestone " in place . Their position was besieged by Eternal Empire forces led by Vaylin , but Senya intervened and engaged her daughter , allowing Beniko and the Outlander to retreat and reunite with Koth Vortena . Beniko volunteered to hold a choke point so that Vortena and the Outlander could reach the Control Spar and disable the docking clamps keeping the " Gravestone " in place . Vortena piloted a shuttle with himself and the Outlander to the Control Spar , asking the Outlander about Valkorion along the way . After reuniting with HK - 55 and killing Captain Lazna Delothrea , Vortena and the bodyguard droid stayed behind to hold off a battalion of Zakuul Knights . Meanwhile , the Outlander reached the Control Spar and released the docking clamps , but was once again attacked by Arcann , who destroyed HK - 55 seemingly beyond repair . Valkorion offered to share his power once again , but was refused and the Outlander was stabbed by Arcann ' s lightsaber . Despite suffering a great physical toll , the Outlander managed to survive and escape the confrontation with Arcann alive , returning to " Gravestone " by shuttle just as the vessel was taking off . The ship escaped from the Eternal Fleet to hyperspace , just as the Outlander collapsed from sustained injuries . The Outlander awoke sometime later and was informed by Beniko that HK - 55 was indeed destroyed seemingly beyond repair . Commander of the Alliance . Foundations on Odessen . The Battle of Asylum served as a rallying cry for those who wished to oppose Arcann , and Beniko called her multiple contacts from the Sith Empire , the Republic and the criminal underworld to gather on the planet Odessen , a remote and unsettled world . There she laid foundation of an Alliance against the Eternal Empire and made the Outlander into the Alliance Commander , establishing the Alliance base on Odessen . Among those who joined the new Alliance was the Commander ' s old associate Theron Shan , who immediately started working on the big problems and assembled a team of specialists which included former Republic Admiral Bey ' wan Aygo , famous smuggler captain Hylo Visz , Hutt scientist Juvard Illip Oggurobb and a Sana - Rae of the Voss Mystics . While the rest relaxed in the new Alliance cantina , Senya Tirall congratulated the Alliance Commander on the progress that was made , while musing about how many Scions followed Heskal to their deaths . Senya also revealed to the Commander that the circumstances of Thexan ' s death at Arcann ' s were told to her by Vaylin and became reaffirmed in her confidence that her children had to be stopped by any cost . After she left , Valkorion asked the Commander their thoughts on the path leading to this moment . The Commander immediately took an active role in expanding the fledging Alliance , working with Theron Shan and Miot Dengd in neutralizing Zakuulan Star Fortress es in orbits of Alderaan , Belsavis , and Nar Shaddaa , Hoth , Tatooine , and Voss . The Commander also actively pursued the leads on promising recruits provided by the Alliance specialists , recruiting such individuals and renowned scientist Eckard Lokin , Jawa scavenger Blizz , the leader of the Warstalkers Qyzen Fess , Sith Lord Xalek , failed Jedi Padawan Languss Tuno , Republic Provost Marshal Fideltin Rusk , Imperial Reclamation Service Lieutenant Talos Drellik , Dashade warrior Ak ' ghal Usar , legendary smuggler Nico Okarr , Wookiee gladiator Bowdaar and a Gand Findsman Yuun . Anarchy in Paradise . Investigating potential allies , Theron Shan suggested that the Alliance should recruit " Firebrand " , a known anarchist who independently operated on Zakuul for over two years . Though Koth Vortena was not keen on recruiting a terrorist , Theron and Lana both reasoned that the " Firebrand " could provide a valuable knowledge of Zakuul as well as connection to the populace . Theron accompanied the Commander to a meeting that was arranged for them by SCORPIO with a false promise of high - yield explosives . Traveling to the Spire on Zakuul , Theron and the Commander found " Firebrand " at an abandoned tram station , attacked by Skytrooper s led by Security Commander Towen Sor . Dispatching her attackers , they approached the " Firebrand " , who turned the blaster on her rescuers and introduced herself as Kaliyo Djannis . She agreed to consider the Commander ' s proposal in exchange for assistance with her current operation , and Theron let them go through with it , departing to meet a contact of his own . Together , the Commander and Kaliyo rigged ion grenades into Power Junctions 353 , 754 and K - H82 throughout the Old World and Breaktown . Along the way , Kaliyo claimed that her only goal was to hit the Overwatch , from which the Commander could obtain the complete schematics of the Spire . Afterwards , the two went to wait in Kaliyo ' s appartment , detonating all three junctions at once during the power grid cycle , which knocked down thw Overwatch security . They traveled to Overwatch in Kaliyo ' s speeder and stormed the facility , eventually reaching the control room where Kaliyo planted her explosives at the droid controls while the Commander downloaded the Spire ' s schematics . Overwatch Administrator Tayvor Slen arrived with the skytroopers and attempted to stop them , but was defeated and mortally wounded during the fight . Before he passed away , Kaliyo mocked Tayvor ' s attempts to manipulate her and revealed that she used his daughter Alianna Slen to plant explosives around the city . Kaliyo then revealed to the Commander that she intended to not only shut down the droids , but also set off dozens of explosives around the Spire that would cause a mass panic and throw the Spire into chaos . The Commander convinced Kaliyo not to hurt the innocents and destroy only the droid controls , after which the two escaped the Spire and the Knights of Zakuul that arrived to stop them . Kaliyo traveled with the Commander to the Alliance base on Odessen and decided to stay with the Alliance . Around this time Arcann , trying to lure the Outlander out of hiding , ordered the Eternal Fleet reprisal bombardments of five inhabited worlds , reducing them to rubble and causing millions of deaths . Assisting Havoc Squad . Theron later passed on some of the Spire data to his former SIS colleague Jonas Balkar , who in turn provided it to Republic Special Forces Division Havoc Squad , convincing them take a leave of their official duties for a rogue operation on Zakuul . Knowing that he ' d lose his connections in the SIS if Havoc was caught doing what was basically treason , Theron asked the Commander to travel to Zakuul again to assist Havoc in their operation . Their conversation with Havoc Squad led by Major Aric Jorgan in the Endless Swamp was interrupted when they were discovered by Zakuulan forces , and Jorgan ordered everyone to split up and meet at the arranged rendezvous point , teaming up with the Alliance Commander . While sniping off Skytroopers , Jorgan asked the Commander about their opinion on the Eternal Emperor Arcann before explaining how the Republic was descending into tyranny and decadence under ex - Chancellor Leontyne Saresh and her puppet Jebevel Madon . Witnessing civilians fleeing from skytroopers , Jorgan and the Commander rescued a group of Zakuulan exiles and stopped the droids from burning their homes before meeting with their leader Pashna Veyaad . Unwilling to leave civilians behind , Jorgan radioed ahead and ordered Havoc to prepare their camp for the refugees , while clearing the path for them alongside the Commander . Inside the camp , Jorgan ordered Kanner to get the refugees settled in and complimented the Commander for the lives they saved that day , telling everyone to get some rest . The next morning , Jorgan explained to the Commander and Theron Shan that their mission was to plant a wiretap on a listening post used by the Knights of Zakuul , allowing Havoc to spy on their communications . Requiring a big distraction for the attack , the Commander arranged one by the Alliance personnel and proceeded with Havoc towards the main objective . With the rest of the squad proving their cover , Jorgan and the Commander successfully infiltrated the outpost and planted the wiretap , but on their way out were surrounded by skytrooper reinforcements . Fortunately , Zakuulan exiles led by Pashna Veyaad came to their aid , taking off several shuttles worth of reinforcements with rocket launchers , allowing Havoc to pick off the remaining enemy forces . Their mission successful , Jorgan expressed to the Commander his desire to train the exiles into a proper resistance force . Along with Major Jorgan and Theron Shan , the Alliance Commander returned to Odessen , where SCORPIO combined the information from the listening post and the Spire ' s schematics and revealed the existence of the GEMINI frequency , the means by which Arcann controlled his Eternal Fleet . Visions in the Dark . The Alliance later discovered the existence of a hyperwave relay station hidden ten kilometers beneath the Spire on Zakuul and connecting the Eternal Throne to the Eternal Fleet , but were divided on what to do when they reach it ; Lana desired to slice the GEMINI frequency to learn Arcann ' s plans ; Kaliyo wanted to take control of it ; and Jorgan wanted to destroy it to sever Arcann ' s control of the Fleet . The Commander send Havoc Squad and Kaliyo Djannis on the mission , one of them providing a diversion for the other ' s main objective . Before the Commander could depart to lead them , Beniko suggested to contact Valkorion on how to best infiltrate the facility he had build . The Commander decided to do so in a secluded spot in Odessen wilderness , but Valkorion refused to part with any of his secrets to the Commander ' s annoyance . Without warning , Valkorion rendered the Outlander unconscious and upon waking up , the Commander attempted to contact the base only to learn that all communication had been cut . Valkorion revealed that he lured the Commander into the wilderness so they could experience what it meant to face death alone . After fighting past hostile shade stalker s , the Commander came face - to - face with Valkorion ' s Force ghost , who explained that he was disappointed by the Commander ' s lack of progress . Valkorion told the Commander that they had two destinies : in one , the Commander would defeat Arcann and claim the Eternal Throne to remake the galaxy ; in the other , the Commander died alone and forgotten . They engaged in a fighter before Valkorion overpowered his host and left the Outlander ' s mind to attend to his other plans , infusing his host with a portion of his power , which knocked the Commander out cold again . The Commander later woke up in an unknown starship , which they soon discovered belonged to Jedi Grand Master Satele Shan , who had been on Odessen for some time . Satele was revealed to be working with the Force ghost of Darth Marr and the two of them offered the Commander insight on Arcann and his Knights , who possessed a different view of the Force than Jedi and Sith . At their instruction , the Commander collected items around the valley before venturing into a dark cave , where they encountered and engaged Vaylin . After the Commander defeated her in battle , " Vaylin " disappeared , revealed to be nothing more than an illusion . Marr and Satele then explained that the illusion was a warning signifying that Arcann and Vaylin had an army at their command . Marr stated that Commander ' s current weapon was insufficient , and the Commander realized that all the items they collected were to construct a new weapon . The Commander proceeded to create it at a nearby altar , infused with pure Force energy . Marr proclaimed that the new weapon would overpower Arcann and unite the galaxy , but cautioned that leading the Alliance was far different than the Commander ' s previous role in the Galactic War . At Satele ' s instruction , the Commander left the cave to find an oasis for their final trial , killing two young cave jurgoran s , which angered their mother when the Commander arrived in the oasis . After the Commander resolved the confrontation , Marr and Satele left Odessen , experiencing a calling from the Force . The Commander then returned to Alliance base by scaling the cliffs and found that Havoc Squad and Kaliyo Djannis were already in the middle of the intended operation . But it quickly went south as the contact with the infiltration team was lost , prompting the diversion team to attempt a rescue . At that point , the Spire went into full lockdown with no transmissions coming in or out , making any rescue attempt all but impossible and leaving the Alliance leadership no choice but to wait . Raiding the " Gilded Star " . While Lana and Koth went to relax in the Alliance cantina , Theron Shan informed the Commander that Hylo Visz wanted to talk to them . Hylo explained that the Alliance was strained on funds and invited the Commander to meet her ex , a Devaronian con artist Gault Rennow . Gault approached the Commander with a proposition to raid the " Gilded Star " , an Eternal Empire treasury ship hiding in the atmosphere of the gas giant Vandin . The Commander agreed to the plan and accompanied Gault to Vandin along with Lana Beniko , Theron Shan , Senya Tirall and SCORPIO . Arriving on the gas giant ' s Tibanna mining platform , Gault took the Commander to look for the hiding container Dretcher , an Anomid identity slicer . Immediately recognizing Gault as Tyresius Lokai , Dretcher activated his battle droids and tried to rid of the Devaronian . However , Gault and the Commander easily destroyed the droids and though Dretcher ' s container boasted reinforced armor , Gault threatened to shake him to death with a sonic amplifier . Dretecher had no choice but to let the Devaronian inside and agree to do his job in exchange for finally getting Tyresius off his back . Gault and the Commander then went to the meeting with the Brekken Gang and its Captain Kenrik Fost . Asking to inspect his missile , Gault announced his refusal to pay for it and after the Niktos raised their arms , activated the warhead . The Nikto ran away trying to flee the blast radius , but Gault was unable to stop the countdown and it reached zero , only to reveal his Twi ' lek partner Vette inside the missile , who had already removed the warhead beforehand . Gault then assembled the entire team at their hideout and laid out his entire plan to infiltrate the ship . Dretcher would the identity of High Justice Vaylin for her mother Senya Tirall , who provided a genetic match and required character knowledge and would take SCORPIO aboard as her " attache droid " . They would access the bridge and lower security , allowing Vette , Gault and the Commander to get onboard and place the warhead inside the vault . When the " Gilded Star " came up for its annual resupply , the team moved in positions . Dretcher ' s holographic disguse worked , allowing Senya to get onboard under identity of her daughter . From the bridge , SCORPIO opened the way to the vault for Gault and the Alliance Commander , while Vette used her sneaking skills to disable the vault ' s security mechanisms . Inside the vault , Gault planted the missile warhead , which upon detonation vaporized its entire content of precious metals , while leaving everything outside the vault safe and intact . The vault ' s entire content of precious metals was then pumped into the tanker piloted by Lana Beniko and Theron Shan , while SCORPIO and Senya soon joined them . Gault , Vette and the Commander encountered some difficulties when the only escape route left to them was to take the Skyhook down the way the came , but their path was blocked by real Vaylin , who arrived with an inspection . Determined to avoid confronting her , Gault suggested going outside on the ship ' s hull , where he received a call from Hylo Visz . His old partner positioned her shuttle next to the hull of the " Gilded Star " so that Gault , Vette and the Commander could jump off it directly onto her vessel , while the rest of their team left onboard Beniko ' s tanker . Returning to Odessen , Gault and Vette expressed their desire to join the Alliance , but the celebration was interrupted by the return of Aric Jorgan and Kaliyo Djannis , who managed to escape Zakuul with a database on the GEMINI droids , although four of Havoc Squad ' s six members were lost in the process . Hoping to salvage the fiasco , Beniko ordered SCORPIO to analyze the data archive . Stealing GEMINI Prime . SCORPIO revealed to the Alliance leadership that the GEMINI droids were based on her and were produced from a template called GEMINI Prime kept in a weapons factory on Darvannis . Obtaining the Prime could be the key to take over the GEMINI and the Eternal Fleet , but the Alliance did not yet have enough forces for a major assault . Theron Shan responded by calling in a favor to Shae Vizla , now holding the title of Mandalore the Avenger . The Commander traveled to Darvannis , where Vizla ' s Mandalorian clan was itching for both payback against the Eternal Empire and a chance to re - arm themselves with the spoils from Darvannis factory . Vizla ' s second - in - command Khomo Fett was dismissive of the newcomer , but the Mandalore gave the Commander a chance to prove themselves , pairing them with a scout Torian Cadera . Torian joined the Commander in capturing the perimeter guns and reprogramming them to target the weapons factory . When Breyer Chorn reported that he and his men were being overrun by Skytrooper s , Torian stated that there was no honor and being killed by machines and attempted to target Chorn ' s location for an artillery strikes , killing the warriors along the droids , before being stopped by the Alliance Commander . Returning to camp , the Commander was informed by Vizla that the fighting would resume tomorrow after her troops had some rest , and the Mandalorians held a Kote ky ' ram for their fallen comrades . The next morning , Torian again joined the Commander in neutralizing the enemy forces at the Zakuulan listening post in preparation for the main assault . In there , Beniko contacted the Commander and passed on detailed schematics of the factory obtained by Theron to help with the assault , while also cautioning the Commander regarding a long - term alliance with the Mandalorians , comparing them to wild animals craving violence . With the factory ' s power stations taken over by Clan Beroya and Clan Fett warriors , Shae Vizla gathered the warriors to rally them before the final assault . The main Mandalorian force moved into the factory to claim as many weapons as possible , while Torian accompanied the Commander on a mission to secure the GEMINI Prime . Inside the factory , Torian revealed that he overheard the previous conversation between the Commander and Lana Beniko and insisted that the Mandalorians were not animals , but warriors with a sense of honor . The Commander located the GEMINI Prime and established a link with SCORPIO , which piqued the Prime ' s curiosity . The Commander successfully removed the droid from her alcove , while the Mandalorians retreated from the factory . In the aftermath of the battle Torian asked the Mandalore to join the Alliance as her representative , and after his request was granted , traveled to the Alliance base on Odessen along with the Alliance Commander . With GEMINI Prime in her possession , SCORPIO was able to analyze the template and easily crack the droid ' s internal protocols due to their similar designs . SCORPIO explained the Commander that by plugging the Prime into the captain ' s console on any warship in the Eternal Fleet , she would be able to take control of the entire network , and with it the Eternal Fleet . Identifying a lone warship scheduled to recharge its hyperdrive as their target , the Alliance moved to intercept it . The GEMINI Deception . Vortena piloted the " Gravestone " to the location of the Eternal Fleet warship and stayed onboard to jam its communications and safeguard the GEMINI Prime . SCORPIO confused the vessel ' s targeting systems , allowing Theron Shan to take a shuttle with a strike team consisting of Beniko , Tirall , SCORPIO and the Commander inside its hangar . The GEMINI captain noted their presence before being distracted by SCORPIO , noting their physical similarities . She then activated a set of blast doors , separating the Commander and SCORPIO from Lana , Senya and Theron . While making their way to a rendezvous point , SCORPIO came across a data note and plugged herself in , establishing a direct link with the ship ' s GEMINI captain . She announced her intention to erase the GEMINI , but the captain overloaded SCORPIO ' s circuits and destroyed her chassis . This temporarily disrupted the " Gravestone " jamming signal , allowing the GEMINI Captain to inform Emperor Arcann of the intruders . Lana Beniko contacted the Commander and informed them of a change in the plan , sending Senya to escort the Commander to her and Theron ' s present location . The Commander informed Lana of SCORPIO ' s demise , which relieved the Sith Lord , who felt that the droid would be a problem in the future one way or another . When the Commander arrived , Lana explained that the ship was transporting prisoners for Arcann to interrogate - Imperial Admiral Zasha Ranken , Republic Senator Tai Cordan and Zakuulan holostar - in - exile Malita Tal . The trio were inspired by the Commander and had found each other in their search for the Alliance , forming an alliance of their own , but Arcann had captured them and was going to " interview " them on the Commander ' s whereabouts . Lana and Theron escorted the freed prisoners to the escape pods , while Senya and the Commander confronted and defeated the GEMINI captain . Acknowledging her defeat , the GEMINI revealed that her clash with SCORPIO granted her free will , before she transferred her consciousness into the frequency and triggered the ship ' s self - destruct . With power fluctuating like crazy , Theron asked the Commander which escape pods to launch first , but was only able to launch two , while the third one exploded , killing everyone inside and devastating Theron . The Alliance leadership barely managed to escape the vessel destruction in time as Arcann and Vaylin arrived with the Eternal Fleet . The " Gravestone " escaped into hyperspace , while GEMINI Prime has completely shut itself down . SCORPIO then contacted the Commander and revealed that she faked her death , using the GEMINI network to transport herself to Zakuul , where she took control of the Eternal Throne . The Battle of Odessen . Returning to Odessen , the Commander learned that a portion of the Eternal Fleet remained under Arcann ' s control . SCORPIO then called and explained that she revealed Odessen ' s location to Arcann , to test whether he would retake his throne or deal with the Commander and Valkorion immediately . With Eternal Fleet on its way , the Commander left behind some forces in case of a ground assault , while taking the fight to Arcann on the " Gravestone " . As the battle of Odessen began , Beniko determined that the only way to ensure safely of the Alliance was to annihilate Arcann ' s Eternal Flagship , disabling its shield and weapons . Lana , Senya and some others accompanied the Commander in the infiltration of the flagship , where after seeing her mother on the security cameras , Vaylin contacted them and revealed that Arcann was on the ship ' s bridge , while also luring Senya away from them to confront her personally . As they made their way to confront Arcann on the bridge , Lana was informed by Theron that the rest of the Eternal Fleet had turned on Arcann as well and now targeted Arcann ' s flagship to eliminate both him and the Commander in one fell swoop . Upon reaching the bridge , Beniko stayed behind to deal with a squad of Zakuul Knights , leaving the Commander to confront Arcann alone . Arcann claimed that his animosity was always about Valkorion , not the Commander himself , and demanded his father to answer him . A frustrated Emperor telekinetically forced the Commander to their knees and tried to strike them down , but the Commander unconsciously used Tutaminis to block his attacks ; Arcann remarked that Valkorion ' s bond with the Outlander was stronger than he imagined . Arcann then engaged the Commander and conjured Force manifestations to assist him , while the Outlander picked up a discarded Knight ' s shield to absorb their attacks and bash Arcann . Ultimately managing to overpower Arcann , the Commander could deliver the finishing blow but falling debris as a result of the Eternal Fleet ' s barrage separated them and seemingly crushed Arcann , forcing the Commander to retreat before the flagship blew apart . The Commander informed Lana that Arcann was finished , and Beniko and the rest of the infiltration team were in the hangar prepared to leave , though there was no sign of Senya Tirall . As the ship was coming apart , Beniko and her team commandeered a Zakuulan shuttle while the Commander narrowly escaped in a Zakuulan starfighter . On their way back to the " Gravestone " , Senya contacted them and revealed that she was alive and so was Arcann , who she was taking away in the hopes of redeeming him . Vortena pleaded the Commander to shoot her down , but Tirall and Arcann escaped nonetheless . At point Theron Shan fired the omnicannon on the Eternal Flagship , creating a massive explosion that wiped out the present portion of the Eternal Fleet and winning the battle for the Alliance . Back on Odessen , Beniko assured the Commander that despite the betrayals they ' ve endured , the Battle of Odessen had become the rallying point the Alliance needed for all the forces seeking to oppose the Eternal Empire , swelling their ranks and giving them the capability to repel future invasions . Valkorion also manifested himself before the Commander once again . The fight against Vaylin . Invasion of Voss . With Arcann gone , his sister Vaylin allied with SCORPIO and proclaimed herself the new Eternal Empress , carving a path of destruction across the galaxy in search of her family . Her search led her to Voss , where she launched an all - out attack to draw her family out of hiding . Theron Shan and Sana - Rae were onworld meeting a contact and were caught in the attack , signaling the Alliance to scramble the fleet . The Alliance fleet moved to intercept and engage the Eternal Fleet , while Beniko piloted a Zakuulan shuttle carrying the Commander and Torian Cadera with a squad of Mandalorian warriors down to the planet surface to break the siege of the capital city of Voss - Ka . Engaging Skytrooper s throughout the burning city , Beniko and the Commander attempted to reach the northern city plateau before it was completely destroyed , then made their way to the Tower of Prophecy , where Theron Shan and Sana - Rae had been waiting for them . After defending their position from Vaylin ' s Horizon Guard s , they received a holotransmission from Senya , who was at the Shrine of Healing hoping that the Voss Mystics could heal her son ' s body and spirit and pleaded for the Alliance ' s aid , believing Arcann would join their fight . Agreeing that Arcann had to be neutralized one way or another , Beniko led the Mandalorians towards the Shrine while the Commander and Theron separately rode Torian ' s walker " Storm Rider " through the Old Paths . Reaching the Shrine of Healing , Theron and the Commander met with Senya , who again pleaded them to let Arcann be healed , while Vaylin , learning that her family was all in one place , ordered the Eternal Fleet to bombard the Shrine . The Commander ordered Lana and the Mandalorians to protect the Shrine to buy Senya time and collapsed a tunnel behind them to stop the pursuing skytroopers . By the time the Commander and Theron reached Senya ' s position , she had already ordered the Mystics to use her strength to heal her son in a Voss healing ritual , which let her comatose . Theron stayed to tend to Senya , while the Commander and Lana chased escaping Arcann to his shuttle , but were too late to stop his departure . By this point Vaylin has ordered the Eternal Fleet to burn her family regardless of casualties on Voss , but the battle was turned by the arrival of the Imperial fleet , which turned the Eternal Fleet away . Valkorion again stopped time and urged the Commander to pursue Arcann , kill Valyin and claim the Eternal Throne . Sith Empress Acina then greeted the Alliance Commander and invited them to Dromund Kaas to discuss a potential alliance against Vaylin . Dromund Kaas . The Commander traveled to Dromund Kaas with Lana and Theron , arriving to Kaas City , where Valkorion lamented that he spend too long on this world that was not worth saving . The three were greeted by Gelmid Lorman , who introduced himself as the new Minister of Logistics when Beniko addressed him by his old title of Moff . Lorman escorted them to Acina , who insisted on speaking with the Commander privately on her personal shuttle . The Commander agreed , leaving Lana and Theron behind to keep an eye on Lorman . In flight and away from prying eyes , Acina stated that traditionalist Sith would not approve of the alliance she was offering and recognized Vaylin as the true threat . She assured the Commander that her offer of partnership was genuine , and that she had no intention of taking the Eternal Throne for herself . Their conversation was interrupted by a sudden engine failure , requiring Acina to down the shuttle and abandon ship . Now stuck in the wilderness of Dromund Kaas with their comms mysteriously jammed , Acina suspected someone sabotaged her shuttle . She and the Commander were forced to contend with the planet ' s dangerous wildlife and lightning storms , traversing the terrain to the crashed shuttle in hopes of recovering the emergency beacon . A group was already waiting for them there and identified as the GenoHaradan , whom the Empress had always assumed to be a myth . The legendary assassins proved no match for the Alliance Commander and the Empress of the Sith , however , as the pair swiftly dealt with the assassins and located their camp . After clearing the camp , the Commander discovered a holorecording from former Republic Supreme Chancellor Leontyne Saresh , who was revealed as the one who ordered the hit . Suddenly , a gunship appeared and opened fire , forcing Empress Acina and the Commander to take shelter in a nearby Sith tomb , where the entrance was collapsed by the barrage and Valkorion again remarked how these ancient resting placed of Sith Lords never truly held the secret of immortality . As the pair descended further into the tomb ' s depths , the Empress and the Commander found the traitorous Minister Lorman , who was behind the shuttle sabotage , and a GenoHaradan strike team seeking to finish their job . After they dispatched the GenoHaradan , Lorman claimed to have Lana and Theron hostage and attempted to call his men , only to discover that his so - called hostages had dispatched them . Acina offered the Commander to decide Lorman ' s fate and Theron informed the Commander that Saresh was coming to Odessen in a bid to take over the Alliance . The Commander quickly traveled to Odessen , where Saresh was making a speech in front of the Alliance personnel . Upon seeking the Commander she panicked and tried to flee , but Beniko cut off her way of escaping and the Commander ordered Saresh imprisoned , to Theron ' s approval . Acina then contacted the Commander again with a formal offer on an alliance . Dark Reunions . However , even though Saresh was neutralized , the chaos she caused was used by SCORPIO and Vaylin to secretly board and take over the " Gravestone " . Koth Vortena escaped capture and provided the Alliance with his coordinates , with the Alliance fleet moving to intercept . Lana Beniko and the Commander infiltrated the " Gravestone " in a boarding pod and dispatched skytrooper patrols along their way to Vortena . Koth revealed to them that Vaylin ' s forces risked triggering the quantum bomb that he installed as a precaution against SCORPIO , and the Commander joined him in disabling the fuses , while Beniko provided distraction . After disabling several fuses , Vortena and the Commander reached the bridge , surprised to find it empty of Vaylin and her forces . Vortena disabled the bomb from the bridge console and told Len Parvek to get Tora and the rest of his crew to evacuate in escape pods . SCORPIO then contacted the Commander and revealed that she knew about the quantum bomb and manipulated Vaylin into leaving the bridge so that Vortena could disable it . SCORPIO also informed the Commander that Lana Beniko was cornered by Vaylin in the Dark Sanctuary , where the bomb was hidden . The Commander and Vortena arrived in time to save Beniko from Vaylin ' s lightsaber , but their fighting still triggered the bomb . The Commander engaged Vaylin who was about to land a blow , when Valkorion intervened and stopped the time as he often did before , although this time Vaylin was able to overcome his restraint . She was about to strike the Commander when Valkorion uttered a phrase " Kneel before the Dragon of Zakuul " , triggering her secret conditioning and making her powerless to strike . Unable to fight , Vaylin turned and fled , giving Vortena the chance to disarm the bomb while the Commander disabled the power relays to prevent its early detonation . Just as Theron Shan brought Kaliyo Djannis , Aric Jorgan , Torian Cadera and Vette as reinforcements by landing an Alliance shuttle inside the hangar , SCORPIO took over control of the " Gravestone " , sending it towards an unknown location and locking the hyperdrive . Converging on the bridge , the Alliance forces witnessed as the vessel jumped out of hyperspace in an unknown system , surrounded by the entirety of the Eternal Fleet . SCORPIO left the ship in her shuttle and contacted the Commander again , revealing that the GEMINI droids were not imitations of her technology , but were related to her , as well as the Eternal Fleet and the " Gravestone " . SCORPIO uncovered their point of origin in the " Gravestone " and brought them all there , thanking the Commander for assisting their journey and warning them that Vaylin and her remaining forces were sabotaging everything on the " Gravestone " . Vortena and the Commander rushed to the omnicannon , but in their absence Vaylin returned to the bridge and overpowered both Kaliyo and Aric Jorgan . She threatened to kill Torian and Vette , but was unable to hurt anyone before a blinging white light engulfed the ship . Iokath . The Commander awoke on the surface of the strange world , unable to reach anyone from the Alliance and having only a strange remote for the company , while every other droids was decidedly hostile . The Commander investigated several technolith s , eventually learning from the hologram of ARIES that they were in the Selruvian biome of the artificial world designated Iokath . Torian then approached the Commander , explaining that he awoke in the same situation , and the two witnessed how the Iokath droids attacked the Knights of Zakuul , realizing that personnel from the Eternal Fleet was brought on - world as well . Theron Shan then contacted the Commander and Torian , directing them to a structure called the Tributary , where the rest of Alliance forced already had gathered . With everyone gathered in one place , the Commander checked on the Alliance personnel , eventually approaching Vette . The Twi ' lek showed the Commander her findings , getting ARIES to reveal a list of planets that the Iokath creators used to test their weapons , which turned out to include Zakuul . Their connection to ARIES was then interrupted by SCORPIO , who was imprisoned at an unknown location and asked the Commander for assistance . Their group ' s position came under attack from the droids again and Theron Shan activates the force field that prevented more droids from coming in , but also trapped the Alliance inside . Vette interacted with the technolith again , trying to get ARIES back online , but opening a door deeper into the structure instead . She and the Commander went ahead to explore , eventually locating another technolith . Vette instructed the Commander on how to get the power to open the light bridge in their way , and explaining that they were in Necropolis , a giant crypt that housed millions of dead . SCOPRIO contacted the Commander again , and revealed the history of Iokath , explaining that ARIES was controlling everything on Iokath , including their current condition , before a host of droids arrived to prove her right . The Commander and Vette fought off their attackers , but their access to both the technolith and the way they originally came in was blocked , requiring Vette to look for another secret tunnel . On their way back to the group , they came across another holonode , from which SCORPIO contacted the Commander again , alerting them that Vaylin has broken free and had located the Eternal Fleet , before notifying the two about a colossus droid that prepared to attack them . Vette noticed how the droid was drawing power from energy conduits and the Commander disabled them , allowing them to deactivate the droid just as the rest of the group caught up . Theron Shan realized that even though he was unable to locate the " Gravestone " , he could still use his cranial implant to remotely pilot the Alliance shuttle that was left in its hangar . To provide themselves with a distraction from the droids outside , the team repaired the colossus droid , leaving the Commander to pilot it against its much weaker , but more numerous brethren , while the rest went to the Tributary roof . The Commander dealt with the droids , but the colossus was damaged , requiring the Commander to eject . With everyone safely onboard the shuttle , Theron took off , but before they could leave , SCORPIO contacted the group again and revealed that ARIES raised an energy shield that would destroy any vessel attempting to leave . With ARIES re - charging the weapon that incapacitated them in the first place and promising to use it again on a lethal setting , the only way out was to stop ARIES . SCORPIO revealed the location of ARIES base and Theron dropped off Vette and the Commander there to deal with ARIES , while the rest went to reclaim the " Gravestone " . The Commander and Vette confronted and engaged ARIES , and SCORPIO herself arrived to help defeat him . She then lowered the energy shield and urged the Commander to escape before capacitors on ARIES ' weapon overloaded , threatening the cover the entire world with a pulse of deadly radiation . SCORPIO announced her intention to upload her consciousness into the planetary network , essentially becoming one with Iokath . Since this would prevent her from threatening the Alliance or the galaxy again , the Commander allowed her to proceed and SCORPIO thanked them before forever leaving her droid body , while also sending to the Alliance schematics for upgrading the " Gravestone " with Iokath technology . The Commander and Vette rushed back to the " Gravestone " , which just barely managed to escape to hyperspace before the weapon overloaded , as did Vaylin with most of the Eternal Fleet . Returning to the safety of Odessen , Beniko assured the Commander that the Alliance was stronger than ever , with " Gravestone " secure and SCORPIO out of the picture , but Iokath remained inaccessible for the time being Operation Dragon ' s Maw . An opportunity to strike against Vaylin directly presented itself when Theron located in inside man on Zakuul . Indo Zal , an Alliance sympathizer and Vaylin ' s Magistrate of Revelry , informed the Commander about the upcoming Grand Festival of Empress Vaylin , where the Empress planned to execute a host of Zakuulan rebels . Theron vouched for Indo , who proposed to provide disguises and security clearances for the Alliance to infiltrate the party , then cause a revolt among the prisoners , causing enough chaos for the Commander to get close to Vaylin and activate her conditioning . Theron volunteered to accompany the Commander inside the Palace of the Eternal Dragon , while Lana and T7 - O1 provided remote support from a shuttle that served as their getaway vehicle . Arriving on Zakuul under the guises of two Knights of Zakuul , Theron and the Commander got inside the Palace and met Indo , who provided them with Ion charges to be installed throughout the Palace so that they could be detonated at once and disable the rebels ' shock collars . Theron and the Commander worked their way around Palace security , planting all six charges , after which Lana informed them that Vaylin was beginning her speech . Dropping their disguises , Theron and the Commander strolled into the main hall , where the Commander triggered the ion charges and activated Vaylin ' s conditioning , making her powerless to retaliate . However , their confrontation with Vaylin was interrupted by Arcann , who arrived with a group of his loyalists , intending to reclaim the Eternal Throne from his sister . Before retreating from the scene , Vaylin dropped the rebel prisoners and Indo Zal into the creature pit , and Theron and the Commander had to follow inside . After killing a Rancor named Junior , the Commander ordered Indo to retreat with the rebels , after which they and Theron went after Vaylin , who was fighting her brother on the balcony . The arrival of Theron and the Commander interrupted the duel between siblings , allowing Vaylin to escape on a speeder bike . To Commander ' s surprise , Arcann was indeed healed on Voss and addressed them peacefully , no longer consumed by hate and anger . After Theron doubted his trustworthiness , Arcann assisted him and the Commander in the fight against the Horizon Guards who arrived to kill them . Arcann then offered to join the Alliance to atone for the blood shed under his reign , and the Commander agreed to take him in . Enraged at her brother ' s betrayal , Vaylin ordered the Eternal Fleet to bombard the entire Palace to rubble , and Lana arrived with the shuttle just in time to get the Commander , Theron and Arcann to safety . Upon their return to Odessen , Arcann was initially treated as enemy by the Alliance personnel , many of whom suffered under his rule for years and joined the Alliance to oppose him in a first place . However , the Commander insisted that having the former Eternal Emperor on the side was good for both the morale and for putting additional pressure on Vaylin . Into the Void . The bond between the Commander and Valkorion was growing stronger , allowing the Commander to glimpse Valkorion ' s memories of Vaylin ' s return to Zakuul after her conditioning on Nathema , and Valkorion suggested that Vaylin may have found a way to break her bonds in the place they were created . Vaylin had indeed vanished and Arcann confirmed that Nathema was a planet in the Chorlian sector , from where a transmission to Vaylin was detected during the Festival . With all signs pointing that Vaylin did indeed return to Nathema , Arcann stayed to watch over still comatose Senya , while the Commander , Theron and Lana went to stop his sister . Theron piloted the shuttle to Nathema , and Lana began feeling the effects of the Force void before even setting foot on the planet . Even Valkorion found his power diminished in this place , though he promised to shield the Commander and Beniko from its worst effects . Making their way through the planet ' s surface , left lifeless ever since the Ritual of Nathema over a millennia ago , the Commander and Beniko reached the Sanitarium , the only structure still showing signs of life on the planet , with Vaylin already inside . Dispatching several Horizon Guards , Nathema Zealot s and Keepers , the two explored the inner workings of the Sanitarium , learning about Vaylin ' s past there from holorecording left by Anomid named Jarak . Meanwhile , the ritual to break Vaylin ' s bonds when out of control , with Vaylin ' s power vaporising those in her vicinity and Beniko and the Commander came upon Jarak , who offered to take them to a place where they could take shelter . In the Sanitarium ' s lower levels they reached an Immortal Emperor ' s vault , where Valkorion stored artifacts even he deemed to dangerous , and barely managed to get inside in time . With not even Valkorion having a power inside and finding the door stuck , Beniko and the Commander went to activate the backup power generator , while Jarak was killed by a vault guardian . Inside , the Commander and Lana made an important discovery of Dramath ' s holocron , which still housed the essence of Valkorion ' s father that he killed over 1300 years ago . Dramath told them that the holocron held the power to destroy Vitiate once and for all and the Commander ordered Beniko to take care of it , since as soon as they stepped outside Valkorion would have access to the Commadner ' s body once again . Eventually unlocking the door that trapped them inside and defeating several Voreclaw s , the two learned from Theron that Vaylin has already left the surface and escaped the Sanitarium which now threatened to collapse . The Commander and Lana rushed outside where Theron picked them up , but before they could rest , they learned from Bey ' wan Aygo that Vaylin launched another assault on Odessen . Vaylin ' s downfall . Returning to Odessen , the Commander , Theron and Lana found the battle already raging on multiple fronts . Theron volunteered to sneak behind the enemy ' s lines , while Lana and the Commander made their way to the " Gravestone " , which was still in dry dock , unable to take off until the Iokath upgrades were completed . Commandeering an Eternal Empire Walker , the Commander and Lana made their way through the front lines , eventually meeting Arcann and awoken Senya Tirall at the " Gravestone " , as it was finally able to take off . Lana went to join Theron , while the mother and son pledged their support for the Alliance cause once more and offered to stand by the Commander ' s side against Vaylin . The Commander contacted Vaylin via a holo - call , successfully taunting her to abandon the safety of her flagship and travel to Odessen surface for a face - to - face confrontation . Holding an Alliance member hostage , Vaylin awaited on the Alliance landing platform as the Commander and Vaylin ' s family arrived to stop her . Her power raging out of control , Vaylin killed her hostage and caused a massive Force Storm , leaving the Commander no choice but to strike her down . As Vaylin lay dead , Senya and Arcann lamented her loss , but were relieved that the conflict was over . The fighting on Odessen was over as Zakuulan forces surrendered en masse , but the war was not , as with Eternal Throne empty the GEMINI Captains have gone rogue , bombarding the capital worlds of Coruscant , Dromund Kaas and Zakuul into rubble . With claiming the Eternal Throne as the only way to stop the destruction , the Alliance leadership departed for Zakuul . Catching some sleep on their way , the Commander experienced a vision of the Eternal Throne surrounded by their allies and Vaylin , who rose from the dead to strike them down . Waking up , the Commander ordered Lana to bring Dramath ' s holocron along , and Valkorion intervened again , dismissing it as a useless dusty trinket . Everyone then gathered on the bridge , where after dropping out of hyperspace , they witnessed the Spire blockaded by the Eternal Fleet , though Iokath upgrades of the " Gravestone " allowed Koth Vortena to breach the blockade . Senya and Arcann volunteered to accompany Commander to the Eternal Throne and together they traveled down to surface in a boarding pod that landed in the Garden of Izax . The three of them made their way to the Spite as the Eternal Fleet burned Zakuul around them , receiving unexpected assistance from Indo Zal and his Zakuulan rebels . Fighting through the skytroopers and Knights of Zakuul , they finally took a turbolift to the Eternal Throne , but Valkorion tried to seed doubt in the Commander ' s mind , telling him to strike down Senya and Arcann to avoid any competition for the Throne , though the Commander refused . After entering the Eternal Throne room , Arcann was taken aback at seeing his old Throne and lamented the death of millions he caused while holding it , while Senya assured him that he became a better man since then . The Commander took the Throne , which send a shock through their body and pacified the Fleet . Senya congratulated them , but immediately afterwards Valkorion revealed his ultimate goal , forcing the Commander to kneel and proclaiming his desire to eradicate the Commander ' s mind and take possession of their body , shocking them into nothingness . The Commander awoke inside their own mindscape , where they previously conversed with Valkorion during their carbonite sleep . However , the Commander was now wearing Valkorion ' s skin in a subconscious attempt to save their identity from being completely erased . Traversing the bizarre mindscape , the Commander cleansed their corrupted memories , realizing that Valkorion only pretended to abandon their body on Odessen and later absorbed Vaylin ' s spirit after her death , giving the Immortal Emperor the key he needed to conquer his vessel ' s mental defenses . Locating the mental image of Dramath ' s holocron , the Commander regained their identity , and Valkorion once again manifested in his usual image . The Commander tried to resist and Valkorion summoned Vaylin ' s enslaved spirit , placing her under his spell and commanding his daughter to destroy the Commander . The Commander battled Vaylin in the mental mindscape and prevailed , but Valkorion easily restored her spirit , after which the Commander used the representation of Dramath ' s holocron to free Vaylin from her father ' s mind control . At this point , Arcann has joined them inside the Outlander ' s mind by using the physical holocron located in the Eternal Throne room . The Commander and Arcann convinced Vaylin to join them against Valkorion , and the three of them attacked the Immortal Emperor . After toying with them for a while , Valkorion destroyed the holocron , claiming that nothing was able to stop him . However , since his spirit was now bound to Vaylin ' s and shared her weakness , the Commander used the phrase " Kneel before the Dragon of Zakuul " to turn the tables on Valkorion and rob the Emperor of his own strength . With Valkorion overpowered and weakened , Senya joined her children in the Outlander ' s mind and together the family watched the Immortal Emperor ' s final words and moments , until the Commander put a final end to his millennia - long existence . Back in the physical world , Senya congratulated the Commander on finally putting an end to Valkorion and opened a system - wide holochannel to announce the Alliance victory . The Commander then proclaimed the age of the Eternal Alliance , unifying the military of Zakuul and the Eternal Fleet with the cause of the Alliance , with the Eternal Throne moved to Odessen and the Eternal Fleet now under their control . The Eternal Alliance . Return to Iokath . When the radiation levels on Iokath had subsided , Lana led an Alliance team to claim it for the Alliance . She contacted the Commander and Theron with a status report , which was interrupted by arrival of Imperial and Republic forces on Iokath , who were fighting for control over the superweapon . The Commander summoned the Eternal Fleet to Iokath , where contact with it was mysteriously blocked and Theron suggested to look for the source of the transmission on Iokath . After landing , Theron and the Commander went to the Fleet Spire to meet with Lana , who held two emissaries send by the Republic and the Empire - Captain Elara Dorne and Major Malavai Quinn - captive . Quinn represented Empress Acina , while Dorne was working Supreme Commander Jace Malcom . Both sides arrived on Iokath looking to claim the superweapon and both pleaded to the Commader to join forces against the other . The Commader picked their ally and helped defend their base against the assault , after which the Commander and Theron went into a weapons cache to retrieve Iokath weapons and knowledge on how to use them . Theron downloaded the files from an ancient console , learning that the superweapon was powerful enough to wipe all organic life on Iokath in distant past , in addition to ten trillion lives on other planets . When they reunited with Lana , she revealed to the Commander that the conflict was orchestrated by an unknown outside force , which leaked identical data regarding the superweapon to all three parties , luring them all in the same place and at the same time . Since the Eternal Throne ' s control over the Eternal Fleet could only be sabotaged by an Alliance member , Lana suspected a traitor in their ranks . The Commander and Theron moved to prevent the superweapon ' s activation , but they were unsuccessful and the legendary Six Gods were awakened . With the control over the Eternal Fleet was restored , Theron stayed behind to delay the superweapon activation , while the Commander went inside superweapon command point , assuming an Iokathi throne and witnessing Tyth , the first of Six Gods . Tyth reveals that a close companion of the Commander ' s was responsible for starting the war and awakening the Six Gods , hinting it to be someone consumed with anger and despair . While the Commander was plugged in , the Throne was sabotaged , and the Commander ordered the Eternal Fleet to fire on the droid , knocking it out of commission . The Commander was brought back to the Fleet Spire to recuperate , where with no way to narrow down the list of suspects , Lana asked them to approve full - time surveillance by an independent party , to which Theron strongly opposed . Crisis on Umbara . Eventually Lana found a trail of the traitor that led to the shadow - world of Umbara , where a transmission with the same encryption as the one from Iokath was detected from a hovertrain with a large stockpile of Adegan crystal s . Lana Beniko , Theron Shan and the Commander travelled there and boarded the speeding train to intercept and stop the traitor , who was supposedly in the control cabin of the locomotive . After defeating an Umbaran Shadow Assassin , the three reached the empty cockpit of the train , where Theron revealed himself as the traitor . He locked the Commander and Lana inside the cabin and sabotaged the train ' s tracks , which would cause the train to crash into the side of a mountain , vaporizing the Commander , Lana , and the crystals . Managing to bail before the impact and survive the crash , the Commander and Lana went after Theron on foot , while also fending off local wildlife . They caught up with Theron , but were unable to stop him before his shuttle left Umbara and were forced to contend with an Umbaran Spider Tank which covered Theron ' s escape . Returning to Odessen empty - handed , the Commander sent a galaxy - wide message on the HoloNet , speaking directly to Theron in regards to his treason , and ordered Beniko to use every resource at the Alliance ' s disposal to locate Theron ' s whereabouts . A Traitor Among the Chiss . The Commander ' s message reached the right ears and Aristocra Saganu of the Chiss Expansionary Defense Force arrived to Odessen personally , revealing that Theron was being sheltered on Copero by the rogue Syndic Zenta of the Inrokini Family . To avoid a political conflict , Saganu asked the Commander to deal with the traitor personally , sending a Human Ensign Raina Temple with them to watch for Chiss Ascendancy interests . Arriving on Copero , the Commander and Temple fought their way through the Copero City , eventually engaged Zenta in combat Zenta inside her starship factory . Defeated and subdued , the Syndic explained that Theron had betrayed her as well , using her Force - sensitive relative Valss to steal the location of a holomap by slicing into her personal datapad . The map had long been kept in secret on Copero and led to a superweapon of the Sith Emperor Vitiate . Having learned Theron ' s location , the Commander was about to continue their pursuit , but Saganu demanded that they take Zenta ' s life , claiming there would be no deal between the Alliance and the Ascendancy otherwise . Shan destroyed the holomap after learning the superweapon ' s location , but as he and Valss prepared to leave , the Commander and Temple arrived to stop them . Valss stayed behind to buy Shan enough time to escape , and the Commander struck the Chiss down , again returning to Odessen without Theron , although impressed by what she had witnessed , Raina Temple volunteered to stay with the Alliance . Behind the scenes . The term " Outlander " is first used to refer to the player character in the " " expansion " " and continues to be used in subsequent updates and " " expansion . After the player becomes the Commander of the Alliance , the Alliance personnel starts to refer to player as " Commander " , while Zakuul ans continue to use the " Outlander " moniker . For the player ' s backstory with Theron Shan , Lana Beniko and Darth Marr to make sense , the Outlander also must have participated in the events of the " " expansion , although during that time the term " Outlander " is never used and each class even has a mission unique to their class on Rishi . The game establishes that all eight original class characters - Hero of Tython , Barsen ' thor , Meteor , Voidhound , Cipher Nine , Hunter , Empire ' s Wrath and Darth Nox - disappeared around the start of the Eternal Empire conquest , and any of them can become the Outlander , leading to many class - exclusive lines that refer to the player ' s past and unique cutscenes when reuniting with original class companions . During the playthrough the player faces multiple Light Side / Dark Side choices , some of them almost inconsequential , while others can change the story significantly , such as killing characters who otherwise survive and continue to play a role in future events . The player can also initiate a romance with either Lana Beniko , Theron Shan or Koth Vortena regardless of their own gender as well as Arcann providing he was spared after Knights of the Eternal Throne , or resume their original romance with returning class companion .
