The Other Outcast is either a short story or a novella hurriedly written by MPK of the Star Wars Fanon Wiki. Taking place in the aftermath of Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, it tells the tale of Rune Chamra, one of the Reborn followers of the Dark Jedi Desann. Upon learning of Desann's death at Yavin 4, Rune begins to doubt his own beliefs and loyalty to the Empire. Soon after, a New Republic attack on Cairn Base challenges him to pursue a new destiny for himself. The first draft of the story was released on July 3, 2020. A revision of the text was completed on July 12.

Ideally, one will have a basic familiarity with the events of Jedi Outcast before reading.

The Other Outcast
Peace and justice in the galaxy is once again in jeopardy. Eight years after the Battle of Endor, the weakened Galactic Empire seemed on the verge of restoration through the alliance of Admiral Galak Fyyar and the Dark Jedi Desann. Leading an army of Force-wielding warriors known as the REBORN, the new Imperial champions launched a daring assault on the Jedi Academy at Yavin 4.

But victory at Yavin was sabotaged by the traitorous KYLE KATARN, and Fyyar and Desann have gone down in defeat, leaving the remnants of their forces reeling under a renewed onslaught by the vengeful New Republic.

At CAIRN BASE in the Lenico Belt, a handful of the Reborn prepare to evacuate with other Imperial forces. Among them is RUNE CHAMRA, a survivor of Kyle Katarn's assault on the facility...

Behind the scenes

Work on The Other Outcast was begun in response to the unveiling of the Summer 2020 Short Story Contest, and to the author's stalled work on the much-longer sequel to Torchbearer.

The premise was heavily inspired by the Jedi Academy single-player mod Eve of Redemption, which also has a Reborn as the protagonist.

The author's love of Imperial-centric stories stems primarily from a childhood spent playing the 1994 flight-sim Star Wars: TIE Fighter.
