Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.

Born c. 3,979 BBY, Bastila Shan was the quintessential Jedi: trained from a very young age and gifted with a natural ability with the Force that gave her both renown and considerable pride. Despite her youth, Bastila was skilled in the rare art of Battle Meditation... through sheer force of will she could influence the course of a battle. Through this power, one side was given courage and strength while the other is sapped of their will. This ability alone put Bastila into the forefront of the Galactic Republic's plan to defeat the Sith.

Brash, impulsive, and overconfident, Bastila seemed to walk invincible through her world, though that was hardly the case. Bastila was well aware of the responsibility that pressed down on her shoulders. Her Jedi masters urged her to be cautious, but Bastila turned every fiber of her being towards defeating the Sith menace and proving herself to the Jedi.

Bastila possessed all the qualities that separate those special few destined to leave their mark on history, but her very youth and determination threatened to be that which ultimately consumed her.

Bastila was part of the strikeforce that brought down Darth Revan, Dark Lord of the Sith. Revan was brought to the Jedi Council, and reprogrammed with a new memory. He was then sent on a mission to destroy his former apprentice, Darth Malak, with Bastila guiding him on the way.
