Plot
The plot of the game revolves around four "avatar" characters and their quests to find an ancient Jedi holocron, the Codex of Tython. The Jedi Rachi Sitra and the Rebel Coret Bhan are trying to find the pieces of the artifact, while the Imperial Jeffren Brek and the Sith Namman Cha are trying to find it so as to use it as a weapon.

The story features many old existing characters and many new ones as well.
