Biography

Somewhere between 3665 and 3653 BBY, Durant fought alongside Sergeant Fideltin Rusk during the Geonosis campaign after he became a general in the Republic High Command.

This section of the article assumes that the player chooses only "dark side" options in the course of the game. Alternate stories are noted in the "Behind the scenes" section. Note: The events in this section may or may not have been confirmed as canon within the Star Wars Legends continuity.

During the Invasion of Taris in 3642 BBY, Durant was part of the War Trust in their efforts to defeat the Sith. Together, the War Trust devised a new technology called Siantide, believing that it would outclass anything the Imperials could come up with. He was later targeted by the Empire, along with the rest of the War Trust, by Darth Baras' Plan Zero. Generals Minst and Frelka were the first to be hunted down and killed by Darth Baras' apprentice, a cunning and powerful Sith Warrior. When the Warrior infiltrated Durant's base, the General flaunted his prototype blaster powered by Siantide technology. Deciding it was time for a demonstration, Durant ordered his men to attack. However, they underestimated the Sith, who slaughtered them all. Mortally wounded, Durant promised that the Warrior would not defeat General Faraire. The Warrior mocked him, saying that he had died for nothing and promised to destroy everything he had built. Durant then expired.[2]

Notes and references

  1. ↑ SWTOR mini STAR WARS: The Old Republic - Question ! :) - Page 3 on The Old Republic's official website (backup link) places Star Wars: The Old Republic's base game content about ten to twelve years after the signing of the Treaty of Coruscant, which is dated to 3653 BBY by Star Wars: The Old Republic Encyclopedia. The Prologue and Act I of the class storylines are assumed to take place in 3643 BBY, as they are roughly concurrent to each other and the Jedi Knight Act I storyline is dated to 3643 BBY by The Old Republic — The Lost Suns 2. Additionally, SWTOR mini Forums: Dear Story Team, What Year Are We Currently In? on The Old Republic's official website (backup link) and Star Wars: The Old Republic Encyclopedia establish that the Battle of Ilum and the end of Act III for the class stories occur in 3640 BBY. Additionally, Act II for all classes, while featuring conflict between the two factions, occurs prior to the official collapse of the Treaty of Coruscant, which The Old Republic: Annihilation places in the middle of 3641 BBY. Taken together, this means that base game content spans from 3643 BBY to 3640 BBY, and the class storylines extend over this period, this article assumes that Act II takes place within 3642 BBY and the first half of 3641 BBY. Following this logic, we can place the events of the Sith Warrior class story at some point around their time.
