Plot synopsis

Image:Kyleagainstreborn.jpg The game takes place around five years after the end of Mysteries of the Sith. Like its predecessors, it is based around the character Kyle Katarn as Mysteries of the Sith has too. Since nearly being taken in by the dark side, Kyle has given up his Lightsaber and the Force so he will not be thought as a Jedi Knight of the New Republic. He once again works with his partner (and now love interest) Jan Ors doing missions for the New Republic. On one particular mission on the planet Artus, Jan is kidnapped by two powerful Dark Jedi, Tavion and Desann. Kyle embarks to the Valley of the Jedi to regain his Force Powers and then to Yavin 4 to retrieve his lightsaber from Jedi Master Luke Skywalker. Upon further investigation, however, Kyle discovers that he was set up and that Desann had followed him to the Valley of the Jedi, using its power to infuse the force into soldiers, making an army of Dark Jedi known as the Reborn. He plans to use this army to invade the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4 and restore the Galactic Empire, with the aid of former Imperial admiral Galak Fyyar. Galak Fyyar then makes his own army, helping the Reborn to destroy the Jedi Academy. These troopers are called Shadow Troopers. Through his efforts, though, Kyle is able to stop most of the invasion and kill Desann and Fyyar. He is also reunited with Jan, who he had believed to be dead. The game ends with Kyle stating that he will now keep his lightsaber. At the second last mission for this game, Kyle, with a help of several Jedi trainees from the academy, are able to stop these troopers. Once Desann was destroyed, this threat of Shadow Troopers and Reborn ended.
