The Imprisoned One was a Rakatan who lived during the Infinite Empire's dominance over the galaxy. His quest for personal power resulted in his own kind imprisoning his consciousness on Tatooine. His consciousness vessel was eventually rediscovered twice; first by Revan during the Jedi Civil War, and again several centuries later by the Czerka Corporation during the Cold War.

BiographyEdit

The Imprisoned One lived sometime during the height of the Infinite Empire. Despite the numerous, galaxy-spanning accomplishments of his race, he sought to enhance his own prestige beyond that of any Rakatan. Seeking to use the Force and some kind of nano-technology to assure his own immortality, he quickly became regarded as a criminal and a heretic amongst his own kind. They hunted him down and, by means of other technologies lost to history, extracted his consciousness from his physical body to be placed in a mechanical vessel. The vessel was placed deep in a cave, to become his eternal prison.

With the eventual fall of the Infinite Empire, he lay dormant and forgotten in his prison for many thousands of years. Eventually he was re-discovered and interacted with by Revan during his second search for the Star Forge.^[1]

The Imprisoned one was later discovered again by a team of Czerka Corporation archaeologists, whom he quickly turned into unthinking drones by means of the very nano-technology he had use to attempt his own immortality millennia earlier. Emergency protocols executed by the Czerka staff were effective in isolating the cave and preventing the spread of the Imprisoned One's infection, but the damage was done: once forgotten to the sands of time, the modern era was once again aware of his existence.^[2]

Some time later, the Imprisoned One's infection once more began to spread past his cave. Eventually it came to the attention of both the Imperial and Republic forces on Tatooine when a number of individuals became infected and turned on their co-workers.^[2]

Behind the ScenesEdit

After initially appearing in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, The Imprisoned One appeared again in Bioware's 2011 Massively Multiplayer Online follow-up title, Star Wars: The Old Republic. Interacting with and deciding the fate of The Imprisoned One is apparently entirely player-driven, as quests to do so are available to both Empire and Republic players.
