Before the launch of Star Wars: The Old Republic, the official SWTOR site posted a series of holorecords that gave a rundown of the history of the galaxy up to that point. SWTORISTA have compiled those pre-launch videos into one cohesive galactic history.
The Jedi Council requested a daunting task of Jedi Master Gnost-Dural, keeper of the Jedi archives: to revise the order’s historical records about the formation of the Sith Empire. These detailed holorecords are his trouble findings about the Fallen Jedi during the Great Hyperspace War to the more recent Jedi Civil War. His holorecordings have been translated in to a readable format for future archivists.
