Runaway
Author(s) Darth Cyan
Release date N/A
Game(s) Jedi Academy
Mode(s) Single player campaign



Runaway was a promising Single Player mod for Jedi Academy, being in development by Darth Cyan in 2008-2009. Aside from new maps and planned features in the game, the project included a variety of promo and concept-art material. The mod was cancelled in 2009.

Plot and GamePlay

The mod takes place approximately one year after the tragedy on Almania (as described in the New Rebellion novel) and follows a path of a new character - a Zabraki female Force-User, who left the Academy to engulf herself in the Dark Side of the Force. The plot allowed the Players to engage enemies in various missions, as well as meet the characters from Expanded Universe. The story would partly link with the Almanian uprising, though in most parts the plot would be a completely new experience.

Characters

Kaina Darin The Protagonist, a Female Zabraki Force-User, who escaped the Jedi Academy and started her path to the Dark Side.
Deerac Moon A mercenary, former Imperial operative, preferring to work for those with big money.
Evill Soul A Dark Side adept strong in the Force and sword fighting.
Brakiss A character from EU, a spy at the Jedi Academy, whom Skywalker tried to turn to the Light.
Swan Art An Imperial and Commanding officer aboard the Imperial-II Class Star Destroyer "Emerging from Ashes".
Oulan Hart A Jedi Knight. He was the most prominent student in the same group, to which Kaina had been assigned. He is brave, honest and kind and was one of a few, who supported the Zabraki during her training. He was promoted to the Knight rank a few days before Darin fled the Academy. He promised he would find Kaina and return her to the Light no matter what.
Nol Aster A Twi'Lekk Vigo of the Black Sun Syndicate in the Antimeridiana sector. Very cunning and villainous ganster, who is fond of old relics and beautiful women. He has a large collection of artifacts and according to some the most precious item there is an unknown Sith artifact thousands years old. Others say, that is just a rumour spread by the Twi'Lekk himself to gain prestige. Spends lot of time in leisure and gambling. In Twi'Lekki language his name sounds as No'Laster.

Locations

The developer revealed on jediknight.ru, that the mod would include a spaceport area on Ord Mantell, as well as a graveyard of starships. One of the missions would take place on Sciblokk, a giant gas planet, which included a New Republic base, closed due to quarantine; Msst - a foggy remote world with an abandoned Imperial complex; Alzoc III, the home world of the Talz species, as well as Yavin IV. Among unrevealed planets a star destroyer mission and Mau Installation complex were also mentioned.
