Shadow Assassin for The Dark Pastime mod for Jedi Academy | July, 2024
This is a small pack, that we decided to release as part of our larger project – The Dark Pastime mod for Jedi Academy Single Player. Previously we published Chapter I and this character – the Shadow Assassin appears in one of the first missions there, but the model was a reskinned one of Mace Windu for Jedi Outcast. Later we decided to make most of our new characters unique, thus a Shadow Assassin was made.
This PK3 includes the model with Team colors, NPC support for DP Chapter I and Jedi Academy (replacing shadowtroopers), voice sounds from JK2 and a Shadow artefact, which serves the purpose of Force gem from Outcast. Currently the model has no unique saber hilt, but we plan to make one for the SP campaign. The model can also be used in JAMP (but no bot files at this time).
For Installation check the ReadMe file: putting PK3 into your JA base folder would do the trick. The model might work differently depending on the game version and/or other mods installed.
The ReadMe also includes a backstory, which in short describes the Shadow Assassins as former prisoners of Belsavis, with their hands cut off due to Mou kei technique sentence (hence the mechanical hands), who managed to escape and now roam the Galaxy. Being the followers of the Dark Side, these assassins avoid the New Republic and the Jedi Order, igniting their red lightsabers only in certain occasions.

Nikto
A Kadas'sa'Nikto, simply referred as Nikto, were a humanoid species from the planet of Kintan, which were also known
on many worlds in the Galaxy. These reptillian humanoids had a variety of subspecies, which differed in their appearance,
due to radiation on their homeworld.
 
Because of the historical events in the past many Nikto associate themselves with the Hutts, and serve the clans from Nal Hutta and Nar Shaddaa as bodyguards and agents. This also explains, why Nikto are quite fluent in the Huttese language.
 
There were several notable Nikto, representing different subspecies of the race, including the Jedi Master Ima-Gun Di,
who lived during the Clone Wars. Revan met a lot of Nikto during his quest for the Star Forge, when he was visiting Taris:
there the Lower City streets were occupied by a swoop gang of Nikto, named the Black Vulkars. Some 300 years later Nikto
had their own district on Nar Shaddaa, revisited by the eight heroes of the Great Galactic war period.

Notes from Authors:
This is a second model, that we made as a team, devoted to the Jedi Academy. But surely not the last.
 
The people asked us about this and other species, and as we are planning to release Chapter I of the SP modification,
The Dark Pastime, and we thought, that a small pre-release would be a nice addition to the models collection before that.
 
The Nikto model, particularly the head and helmet were made by OlgO, while NumberWan worked on the textures and the concept of the alien. It is important to note, that the body is that of the original Human Merc from JA, so that the new
mercenary looked as part of the team of thugs in the game. Barricade24 was more than kind to provide a voice for the alien, and we would like to thank him for his work as well. Also we appreciate the help of Omicron for providing the link
to the icons basis and thanks to Ruxith for providing them to the JK community.
 
The model includes the default skin, as well as the team ones (Red and Blue), but no bot files. With the release of the mod more variants of the Nikto will be available, as in the mod the Nikto bounty hunter is present more than once.
 
If you want to spawn an NPC in JA SP, simply use the console (Shift + ~) and print "NPC spawn nikto".
