Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith

Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith (aka MoTS) is the expansion pack for the first person shooter Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II. It was released January 31, 1998. One of the most appealing things for fans was the opportunity to play as Mara Jade, one of the most popular Star Wars Expanded Universe characters. The story is set five years after the events of Jedi Knight.

Story
The story is consisted by unconnected missions, but climaxing on the redemption of Kyle.

The plot begins on Altyr 5, when the New Republic base is receiving bombardment from two artificial asteroids, and an attack from the Imperial Remnant. Kyle Katarn controlled by the player manages to repel the attack, and stealing a Lambda-class Shuttle arrives on one of the asteroids. There, he breaks into the control room and redirects its fire to the other. When destroyed, he circumvents the weapon's cooling system self-destroying the asteroidal base and escapes.

While there, he gets a lead for the planet Dromund Kaas, having some importance to the Empire. He goes to the temple to investigate while the player controls Mara Jade.

Mara's first mission is to negotiate with Ka'Pa the Hutt concerning the New Republic's supplies. In order for Ka'Pa to comply, Mara is forced to steal Takara's GCT device. While looking for Takara's lieutenants, Abron Mar on the Katraasii spaceport, Mara is trapped by Takara, but manages to escape and steal the device.

After this, Mara is found on a Republic Corvette guarding a Jedi Holocron when receiving attack from Kaerobani's pirates. Mara repels the attackers but the Holocron is stolen. Mara had to 'board' a cargo crate. That way, she arrived to Rathalay, reclaimed the Holocron and escaped.

Now Mara arrives on Dromund Kaas to see what happened to Kyle. After travelling across the swamp, she reaches the Dark Force Temple. Finally she finds Kyle totally maddened by the dark side. Master and Apprentice fight, but Mara wins, while Kyle hides deeper and deeper into the catacombs. On the final encounter, Mara voluntarily turns off her lightsaber and surrenders. Kyle realises that he can't follow this path and returns to the light side.

After this, Kyle forsakes the Jedi and the Force and returns to his military action on behalf of the Republic

Aurebesh inscriptions
In two instances, Aurabesh inscriptions can be seen. They are mirror-inverted, probably mistakenly.
 * A camera screen on Katraasii reads 'DISABLED'
 * The New Republic Corvette schematics is seen on a screen of the bridge, which reads 'WARNING'
