[edit] Opening crawl

Jedi Knight II
JEDI OUTCAST 
It is a time of relative peace 
in the galaxy. Eight years 
have passed since the 
Empire's defeat at the 
BATTLE OF ENDOR, but the
NEW REPUBLIC still struggles 
to restore order and 
vanquish its enemies.

After defending the VALLEY 
OF THE JEDI from the evil 
JEREC and nearly falling to 
the Dark Side himself, former 
Jedi Knight KYLE KATARN 
has severed his connection 
with the Force and returned 
to his mercenary ways. With 
his longtime partner, JAN 
ORS, Kyle continues to aid 
the Republic in the fight 
against the IMPERIAL 
REMNANT.

As the Remnant launches its 
latest gambit to regain 
control of the galaxy, Kyle 
and Jan have been sent by 
the New Republic to 
investigate the planet KEJIM, 
home to a long-dead 
Imperial outpost…

[edit] Plot summary

Kyle Katarn encounters Lando Calrissian on Nar Shaddaa.

The game takes place in 12 ABY, a few years after the end of Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith. Like its predecessors, it is based around the character Kyle Katarn. Since nearly being taken in by the dark side, Kyle has given up his lightsaber and the Force. He once again works with his partner (and now love interest) Jan Ors doing missions for the New Republic.

Mon Mothma contacts them to investigate an Imperial Remnant base on Kejim. A part of a transmission sent from the base was decrypted and some keywords such as "Reborn" or "Valley of the Jedi" were revealed. In the base, they discover murdered prisoners, and a link to another planet on the outer rim where the Imperials are doing experiments on infusing the Force into living subjects.

Jan Ors and Kyle Katarn infiltrate the facility and free the prisoners, but Jan is captured by two Dark Jedi, Tavion Axmis and Desann. Katarn is initially eager to rescue his love interest, but Desann ignites his lightsaber and Katarn has no choice but to fight him. Desann easily defeats the mercenary but spares him, saying he would be a worthier adversary if he had the power of the Force. Desann then ordered Tavion to kill Jan, which she seemingly does. Kyle embarks to the Valley of the Jedi to (at least partially) regain his Force powers and then to Yavin 4 to retrieve his lightsaber from Luke Skywalker, intent on revenge, to which Luke warns him of the dangerous path he is following. What Kyle doesn't know is that he was set up and that Desann had followed him to the Valley, using its power to infuse the Force into his soldiers, creating the Reborn and with the help of Galak Fyyar the shadowtroopers. He plans to use this army to invade the Jedi Temple on Yavin IV and restore the Galactic Empire. When Kyle spares Desann's apprentice, Tavion, she admits the plan, and tells Kyle that Jan is still alive. He radios Rogue Squadron and stows away on Fyaar's personal ship, where he finds Jan unhurt and alive. Also he finds out that the shadowtroopers are wearing an armor made from Cortosis Weave.

After knocking out the shields of Fyarrs flagship, Doomgiver and killing Galak, he takes an escape pod to Yavin 4 and helps fend off Desann's attack, fighting his way through Reborn and Shadowtroopers, eventually killing the Dark Jedi. At the end of the game, he is asked by Luke about what he would do next. His reply was that he and Jan had earned a long vacation on the beaches of Spira.
