The Human male Voren Renstaal was born during the time of the Galactic Republic . He joined the Jedi Order and completed his Jedi training on the planet Ossus under the tutelage of a Jedi Master . In 3976 BBY , the Mandalorian Neo – Crusaders began attacking worlds in the Outer Rim Territories , beginning the Mandalorian Wars . Renstaal fought alongside his Master during the early stages of the conflict until his Master was killed during the First Battle of Onderon . Afterward , Renstaal joined the Revanchist s , a renegade faction of Jedi led by the Jedi Knight Revan , and fought in the Mandalorian Wars against the wishes of the Jedi High Council . Following the defeat of the Mandalorians in 3960 BBY , the Revanchists traveled to the Unknown Regions , and Renstaal accompanied them . There , the Revanchists adopted the teachings of the Sith and reformed themselves to become Darth Revan ' s Sith Empire . Renstaal took up the Sith title of " Darth " , renaming himself " Darth Voren . " He became a Sith apprentice and trained under a Sith Knight , who was under the direct command of the newly - christened " Darth " Revan . The Sith Empire began an invasion of the Republic , and during the conflict , Voren was appointed to serve aboard Revan ' s flagship , where he helped to control the ship ' s security forces . In 3957 BBY , Voren was aboard the flagship when it was attacked by Republic forces , who planned to capture Darth Revan . During the attack , a team of Republic agents was sent to the ship ' s Security Command , or " SecCom , " center , from where they planned to order all of the ship ' s security teams to go to the aft side of the flagship , allowing a team of Jedi to make their way to the bridge and capture Revan . The strike team was made up of the Jedi Knights Aldren Dayos and Anyara ; the scout Haden Vazzar ; the soldier Kagen Brendel ; the spy Mara Davos ; and the intelligence officer Samar . The group made their way to the Security Command center , where the Republic squad found Voren standing in the middle of the center with fifteen Sith trooper s and several Sith Marauder s , who were all under his command . The Sith troopers attacked the strike team , while Voren and the Sith Marauders ignited their lightsabers and deflected any blaster shots that were fired at them . The Republic team was eventually able to obtain the codes required to access the SecCom computer system , and they used them to order the Sith security teams to move to the aft side of the ship , eventually capturing Revan . Personality and traits . Voren was ambitious and hoped to be able to rise quickly through the ranks of the Sith Empire . To achieve this , he strove to complete his Sith training and hoped to remove at least one of his superiors to quicken his ascent . He wore dark - colored robes and a featureless black - tinted faceplate that obscured his facial features . He also wielded a lightsaber , which he had constructed himself . Powers and abilities . Voren knew how to use the Force to move objects , influence the minds of others , and create an energy - resistant field around himself . He could also manipulate the dark side of the Force , using Force lightning and Force Slow to directly attack others , or to employ Force rage to enhance the rest of his powers . Voren was bilingual , able to speak both Basic and the Sith . Behind the scenes . Darth Voren was created by Patrick Stutzman in " The Betrayal of Darth Revan " , a supplement to the Star Wars Roleplaying Game that was released in 2008 . In the supplement , the players role - play as the Republic agents that Voren encounters and their encounter with him can go a number of ways , depending upon the actions of the player characters . If the players kill more than half of the Sith troopers in the SecCom center , Voren and the Sith Marauders directly attack the player characters and will fight to the death , rather than surrender . The players can speak to Voren and try and get him to tell them the code for the SecCom computer system , which they can do by either interrogating him or by trying to persuade him that it is his best interest to help them . If they tell him that the aim of their mission is to capture Darth Revan , then Voren becomes more likely to help them , as he believes that removing Revan would help him to rise through the ranks of the Sith . However , if either of the Jedi player characters are still conscious , Voren will not voluntarily help the players and remains hostile . If the players do succeed in gaining Voren ' s favor , he enters the code into the computer system and orders the security teams to move aft . However , if the player characters then decide to alter the ship ' s systems , for example by disabling the weapons or lowering the shields , Voren becomes hostile to them again . When the players leave the SecCom center , if Voren is still assisting them , he remains behind to ensure that the Sith security teams stay away from the flagship ' s bridge . If the players fail to obtain the code from Voren , they can get it by interrogating any surviving Sith troopers .
