Jahnn works with an up-and-coming Republic officer to defeat a focussed Imperial sabotage campaign on Quesh, home of the ambient toilet smell. Also the only planet in the galaxy where lighting a fart is a class-E misdemeanor.

Jahnn looks on silently while Captain Saya'ka deals with a Hutt. As if having a Jedi backing her up wasn't already intimidating enough, they stack the deck by having Lord Scourge attend the meeting as well.

Saya'ka's choice of armor for her companion strikes Jahnn as a tiny little bit self-serving; he attempts to voice his concerns but is immediately rebuked, as Saya'ka reminds him of exactly how far Jahnn has already demonstrated he will go for some good fanservice.

Jahnn is uncharacteristically stuck for words.

Jahnn shows off another unlocked collection goodie, the silver-blue color crystal. It seems to be based on the old Mantle of the Force crystal from Knights of the Old Republic. I like it because it's obviously a special color crystal, but also still blue enough that it helps him look like a traditional Jedi Guardian when he's wearing these robes. Jahnn obviously wants to make it clear to his detractors among the Jedi just how awesome he is.

Wait, you mean I could have been emoting all this time-?!

Jahnn shows off the attitude that makes him an ideal hero and a poor Jedi.

And Jahnn discovers his lightsaber suddenly has a refreshing Mint flavor!

Or maybe I just unlocked the collection for the "Mint" colored crystal. As an advanced-color-version, I like their green more than the blue in the previous outfit's screenshots. The "Mint" crystal is still obviously green, but also obviously not the normal green.

I always associated green sabers with Jedi Masters and elders, while blue was connected in my mind more with the Knights and front-line fighters. So we can assume here that Jahnn's wearing Jedi armor and using a Master's color in order to impress the naive students on Tython or something. Or just pick up chicks.

I was ecstatic when the devs finally released a good-looking overcoat that was common enough that it wouldn't cost millions on the Galactic Trade Network to buy. The Vandal Duster has some animated textures as well, mainly on the back, as glowpoints run down the green detailing of the outift. I can see Smugglers and Imperial Agents getting even more use out of this, but it fits with the personality I play into Jahnn to a tee as well.

So as not to give away his connections to the Jedi Order proper while working undercovor, Jahnn reconfigures his lightsabers with more unaligned colors. His staple purple is complimented by the new "copper" color crystal, which seems to be based off the Heart of the Guardian super-rare crystal from Knights of the Old Republic back in '03.

Some nice detailing on the armor. The glowpoints really add something to the complicated pattern of the chest armor. Jahnn clearly approves, smirking at the camera in full confidence of his enhanced smexiness rating.

Jahn shows off his newly-modified sabers, now sporting the rare Silver-Blue color to play off his new robes. He and Kira in their blue and red armored robes now compliment each other much better, visually.

...Especially since now Jahnn carries two silver-blue sabers while Kira's double-saber sports "Blood-Red" blades. A Jedi who left the light and a Sith who deserted the darkness, now happily stuck in the middle with each other.

As the local cash machine eats his credit card, Jahnn demonstrates the power of negative emotion. I like how this outfit and the Dire Eliminator's armor it shares a template with are both perfectly acceptable to a light- or dark-sider without any extra visual modification necessary. They're just flexible armor with a covert jacket/robe over it. Perfect for any Sith or Jedi.

Well, two years wearing the same basic outfit is a long time; it's time for an update. The Red Blade's Boots are dyed black/gray, and more recently a pair of Stalker's Gloves have been added to the mix. I love how those Stalker's Gloves look.

Looking more like really hardened armor now but not heavy enough to slow down a Force Leaping sentinel. Better utility belt, too. Lots of nice little improvements since 2013, huh?

And another big change: Jahnn now carriers a pair of Starforged lightsabers, with special white-blue-purple crystals! I liked the color immediately, a very nice indicator of how Jahnn's gone his own way now rather than following those stuffy old Jedi.

The saber hilt (the "Betrayer's Starforged Lightsaber") seems to be based on the lightsabers seen way back in Knights of the Old Republic, and it has a unique humming sound. I like how simple the design is but how much detail they work into it.

Jahnn's "Vergent Order" outfit's never looked better, and he's never looked more deceptively noble than when holding one of his sabers at the ready. The fangirls sigh. And then roll their eyes, exasperated.

Detailing on the Stalker's Gloves. What drew me to them is how they look so padded and flexible. Makes me imagine some lost technology, for forging arm-guards that could be used as a shield against lightsaber blows. Jahnn's ridiculously growing backstory sets him up as a hunter of lost Jedi and Sith knowledge, so this works well.

Jahnn and Kira loiter around the hanger, waiting for a special evironment-controlled container to arrive.

It's here! Jahnn's Varactyl from Belsavis has been safely delivered to base! Jahnn lets the poor girl stretch her legs and lap the hanger a few times, after being cooped up in a shipping enclosure for so long.

Back shot of Jahnn's new friend. Very pretty animal; very cool mount.

Jahnn and his feather-lizard have a good time for a while, but you can only chase terrified starship technicians around the hanger for so long before the screams start to sound old. Rider and mount head off to find Kira.

Nifty glowpoints. I'm conflicted about the hoodie, though (I don't like hoods as a rule...). And to be honest, it actually makes Jahnn look kind of pudgy. It's certainly not as ostentatious as some of the high-end armor sets are, though.

Contemplative pose from Jahnn, showing off some zoomed-in detail. The shoulder pads are a victory for whoever designed this outfit: they don't look ridiculous. Actually quite practical.

Light up the sabers! I was steadfastly using copper crystals on Jahnn's sabers at this point. Thought it made him stand out from the normal Jedi. I'd later fall back on my purple/orange mainstay scheme.

Hey, cool, the hood comes down! Granted, you have to wear one of a special few circlets that force the hood down. Jahnn doens't exactly fit the bill for a tiara-wearing space-princess, but it still looks better than having the hood up all the time.

Hood-downed Jahnn tries out something different with his sabers this time. Really I was getting fed up with Oricon's very limited red-orange color pallet and was desperate to add a little color to the game. Hence the mint color crystals.

Zooming in a little, something else cool about this outfit becomes apparent: even when you force the hood to be hidden, it still looks good. There's a collar where the hood was that still makes the outfit look right.

Too bad this outfit doesn't dye very well. I'd love to get it in a dark gray or black hue. Oh, well.

Pirate Captain Jahnn of the Red Hulls practices looking menacing. When he considered two eyepatches to help sell the outfit better, Saya'ka finally had to put her foot down.

Jahnn makes an announcement in an ancient traditional Rishi language.

It translates to "YAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!"

Every good space pirate needs a good space parot (or failing that, a good kowakian monkey lizard). Fortunately Jahnn long ago hatched his own Moa Bird to serve this purpose. Attempts to teach the creature to speak meet with resistance.

A pirate captain is only as good as his cutlass, and in this one specific area Jahnn excells. A nice deep-colored Advanced Purple Outline crystal in his saber, and Jahnn's lightsaber is ready to cut down all foolish enough to make fun of his ridiculous pirate outfit.

The Subversive Jacket is a cool trenchcoat with leather armor underneath... in an ugly shade of green. I slapped a black/brown dye module in there first thing. The gloves are the very cool and shockingly inexpensive Tranquil Mystic's Gauntlets. The Advanced Slicer Boots are cool too, sporting a hold-out blaster and a knife in the ankle-holsters (you'll have to page back one image to see them, sorry). Handy for inter-alleyway encounters.

Jahnn dons his outfit's optional goggles, to better help disguise him when doing undercover work in bars and backalleys. Sadly, despite the advertisement's promises, he's unable to see Saya'ka's underwear.

Detailing on the back of the coat. Really looks great after it's dyed a more workable color. Also note the glowpoint in the palm. I imagine it's some sort of Verg-tech shield generator so Jahnn can reach out and catch incoming lightsaber blades. Oh what, that makes me a nerd? I've played a Star Wars Online Roleplaying Game on my computer for four years. That ship's already sailed, hombre.

Outfit looks cool when Jahnn winds up to bat. It's another nice shot of the Starforged saber hilt, too. See all those little glowpoints in there?

Saya'ka's player Tohru has said several times that she considers her Havok Squad's official colors to be white with red trim, and I've been wishing for an opportunity to put Jahnn in the team colors ever since. With the Outfit Designer feature finally rolled out, this at last becomes a possiblity and Jahnn can don his Havok Squad armor with pride.

Note the little nicks and dents in the armor. The shoulders also sport the Havok logo, but it's been faded out. It's a very nice touch.

Jahnn restores standard Republic colors to his lightsabers while in uniform. I imagine that Jahnn has to be careful not to let his rogue operations overlap with his time in Havok. It'd put Saya'ka in a difficult position.

A very unusual figure is cut by a military armor-clad man waving a lightsaber. I think that juxtaposition is what makes this outfit so cool. It's easy to imagine Jahnn gearing up and rushing out of a dropship into a hot LZ alongside a mess of gun-toting troops. I admit I don't care for the perfect-square backpack, though. Wish I could've found a dye-able chestpiece without it.

Of course the whole point of this armor has always been that it's a protective, sealed environment. Which means the armor needs a helmet. A "Resolute Protector Headgear" helmet serves the purpose nicely.

Detailing on the helmet. There are several options when looking for a trooper helmet on the Galactic Network, but what drew me to this one is how lean it looks. It's not bulky, it's thin and streamlined. The red splattering is assumed to be not blood but warpaint-like decoration. Or maybe Jahnn was hit by a sudden nosebleed while donning his helmet one day, whatever.

I have to say that looking straight-on at that helmet would be mightily unsettling. I don't believe for one second that the Republic designs its helmets like this -- bone-white and evocative of some sort of hideous, deformed skull -- for any reason other than pure intimidation. Seems to me the Sith Empire should be the ones following that kind of philosophy, but the prequels ruined that idea for everyone. Oh, well.

The means to achieving this wish wound up being the simple combination of the black "Exterminator's Cuirass" armor-and-robes outfit and a Medium Brown/White dye module. Add a set of Resolute Protector Greaves and Boots, and Jahnn now appears to be wearing a brown Jedi robe over light Republic armor.

As I've stated several times already, Jahnn's not really a Jedi any longer by this point; he's left the order to pursue his own agenda. But he's on agreeable terms with Satelle Shan, for whom he sometimes does favors when she needs a job done and can't get the Jedi Order officially involved. I imagine Satelle would make sure he was properly equipped for any such jobs with the best Jedi armor available.

I imagine that a Jedi-esque outfit like this would also help Jahnn establish some authority when working with Republic forces. Republic military personnel are likely so used to working with Jedi at this point that they all understand that they should hold their fire for an unidentified figure in a brown robe with a lightsaber. Jahnn's usual Destroyer Armor outfit isn't really something that most grunts would assume is anything but hostile...

Nice glowpoints, anyway. It puts one in mind of an old, previous iteration of the Jedi's normal robes. Personally, though, I suspect this outfit probably started life as an attempt by the devs to reproduce Knights of the Old Republic II's Jal Shey armor, and somewhere along the line they decided what they had was too cool-looking for that and expanded it into an original outfit set all its own.

A zoom-in shows off some interesting (or bizarre) aspects of this outfit: the armor chestpiece and shoulder pads seem to be attached to nothing except the cloth robes. There's no straps or anything to hold it in place. Force magic or sloppy design?

My personal headcannon is that this armor is the result of Jahnn's study of ancient Force-using orders beyond the Jedi and Sith. So assume hand-folded cortosis alloy and personal lightsaber blade-repelling shields. It's just Jedi-like enough, though, that observers would assume he's a Jedi without question.

Jahnn didn't wear this chestpiece for long after he obtained it way back when, because I didn't feel that any of the other bits fit right with it. Three years later, though, there are Stalker's Gloves, Valiant Jedi Greaves, and Red Blade's Boots that work together to produce a very Sithy ensemble. Very credible as a dark side outfit, now.

I still like the heavy leather look of this outfit. Before the advent of Adaptive Armor and the Cartel Market sets, this was really the only dark-colored darkside-looking outfit a Jedi Knight could hope to obtain. Years later, even when held up against more recent options, it still looks unique and Sithy.

Naturally, Jahnn would need to replace his sabers' color mods with Ziostian crystals (actually Advanced Pink-Red Indesructible Crystals I have legacy-unlocked) more common to the Sith before attempting an infiltration of Sith-controlled space. One imagines this made it all the more galling to him when Lana Beniko outed him as a Republic agent almost immediately after coming to the planet.

Jahnn continues practicing a hateful expression that doesn't come naturally to him. I expect this is how he looked during the unspecified period of time he was under the Sith Emperor's control. It's never made clear exactly what evil deeds he was compelled to do or how many people he was made to kill in the Emperor's name before breaking free and returning to the Republic, or even how long he was enthralled. It's a given that when he wears this reminder of that time, though, it's done solemnly and only when absolutely necessary.

Jahnn gets serious with whatever training device he's working with here in his ship. Maybe just wearing this old outfit makes him feel a little darker.

Jahnn demonstrates a power decidedly not of the Jedi. As a Verg, rising above concepts of both light and dark, Jahnn is acquainted with the power of the Dark Side as well as the light. It's probably the only thing that let his deception last as long as it did on the Ziost station.

I've always imagined that if Jahnn hadn't come into the Force and fallen in with the Jedi, he'd likely have wound up a smooth-talking smuggler. This outfit's a great idea of what he would have looked like. Note, though, that even when going casual he still keeps a pair of Verg-tech shield modules on his gloves.

The chestpiece this outfit is built around is Mission Vao's Jacket, obviously patterned after the default appearance of the tiny and adorable teenager Mission Vao from Knights of the Old Republic. I'm happy assuming that Jahnn wears the vest for its utility and nice leather look rather than out of some sort of fixation on who it was based on.

That'd be creepy even for Jahnn.

Jahnn brandishes his Starforged lightsabers, outfitted with Verg colors. It'd be a handy oufit for fighting, though obviously not as protective as some of his full armor sets. Happily, with the Outfit Designer it's not an issue; the stats remain optimal.

Take that, armor restriction system!
