The Old Republic: Revan Returns in Update 3.0 Information
I have gathered information I found from the swtor miners, and decided to put it all together here: (please log in to view the image)
Codex Entries: Master of the Revanites: Jedi turned Sith turned Jedi again: the life of Revan has been one of great contradiction. But when the Sith Emperor imprisoned Revan for more than three hundred years, Revan's ambitions became focused as never before, seeking to use his affinity with the Force to secretly influence his jailor. But Revan became unhinged in the end, and careened once more toward the dark side. Escaping imprisonment in a mad bid to destroy the Emperor for good, he was stopped by an Imperial strike force and believed dead. If Revan has returned from the brink to lead the order that bears his name, it could be that his temperament has evened to suit the Revanites' key tenet of maintaining balance in the Force. Then again, considering that the Order of Revan was formed out of a deep devotion to his deeds, it's possible they would do anything Revan decreed regardless of his reasoning or intent. Since "Revan" has decided to make his presence known, it is undoubtedly only a matter of time before speculation gives way to certainty. Infinite Army: Since its destruction, many have sought to own pieces of the fabled Star Forge--an automated Rakata shipyard capable of infinite manufacturing. A Selkath experimenting with cybernetic applications using Rakatan technology was one of those looking to harness the Star Forge's immeasurable power. With the shipyard's self-replicating properties, the Selkath theorized implementation of its parts could allow his test subjects to survive the grafting process, and to achieve virtual immortality. When the Order of Revan made a piece of the Star Forge available to him, the Selkath was able to prove his theories and the Infinite Army was born. This is not the first time the notion of an Infinite Army was conceived. A tormented Jedi looking to destroy the Sith Emperor once appropriated a long-abandoned Rakata foundry built into an asteroid. However, his reputed plan to use the foundry to build an "infinite army" of extermination droids was ultimately prevented. Rakata Prime: Many thousands of years ago, in the sparsely populated Tempered Wastes of the Unknown Regions, the first galactic authority was born on Rakata Prime. Named for its once-predominant species whose Infinite Empire ruled for millennia over hundreds of worlds, the planet is now a dangerous tropical wasteland, ravaged by weapons of mass destruction and overrun with deadly beasts and savage Rakata. While few traces of the advanced Rakatan civilization exist on the planet today, it is undoubtedly a treasure trove of lost knowledge and technologies--and not just their own. A nullifying field once employed by the Rakata commonly disrupted the navigational systems of orbiting vessels, causing them to crash into the planet. As a result, Rakata Prime has become something of a starship graveyard. Rakata Tribes: In the face of near-extinction and the mysterious loss of Force sensitivity among most of their kind, the Rakata retreated to their homeworld, where they focused their cruel aggressions on one another, descending further into ruin. When the dust of global war settled, all that remained of the galactic tyrants was a collection of barbaric and ruthless Rakata tribes that has dominated the planet for more than twenty thousand years. Some tribes reside in isolation, hidden deep within the jungle islands of Rakata Prime. Others are more aggressive, seeking to conquer and assimilate as many other tribes as possible, uniting the world under their rulership--an echo of their technologically advanced ancestors' attempt at galactic supremacy. Eventually, the dominating tribe's control becomes stretched too thin and the sub-tribes revolt, breaking free until the cycle inevitably repeats. Temple of the Ancients: No one knows for certain how long the Temple of the Ancients has stood, which is hardly a surprise. Much of the history of Rakata Prime--and that of its one-time conquerors who placed the galaxy into servitude--has remained undiscovered. What is known of the temple is its relatively recent history. A tribe of Rakata known as the Elders had charged themselves with guarding the temple from other tribes, even though their species no longer had the affinity with the Force required to enter their ancestors' hallowed repository. The Elders held that the temple's secrets must be too important to fall into less civilized hands than theirs. It was this tribe that allowed the Jedi Revan to enter the temple and learn how to destroy the corrupted Rakata superweapon known as the Star Forge. It's unclear what has happened to the tribe in the three hundred years since then as the Temple of the Ancients is no longer under their protection.
Interesting New Conversation Quotes: That would take time, and we can't be sure of success. Finding Revan is much more important than clearing our reputations. Besides--we still have you." --Theron Shan "You mean, has my ancient ancestor [Revan] returned from the grave to kill us all? It doesn't seem likely, but... there was something about him. We need to learn more." --Theron Shan "Good luck to you. We'll send word as soon as we have something--and then we'll see what this Revan guy is really made of." --Theron Shan "It's the homeworld of the ancient Rakata--hence the name. Apparently there are still a few of them there, but their society has regressed significantly. The Revanites probably picked it because it was the site of a major battle involving Revan--one of his biggest victories." --Theron Shan "The way Revan was laying waste to that place, I wasn't sure you'd come out of it in one piece." --Theron Shan
---- ---- ---- "I almost had the Infinite Army I wanted so badly. But even without them, I have enough." --Revan "I know all about rude awakenings. I won't suffer one again.
Oh, I was dead--for all of a blink." --Revan "Goading me into battle might have worked before I died, but not anymore." --Revan "I've been reborn. My mind is clearer, my power intensified. And now, with the order under my command, I'm unstoppable." --Revan "At first, I wanted nothing to do with them. I was no prophet. Then I saw them in a new light. A secret group of devotees waiting to follow my lead without question? To help me save the galaxy? I was a fool to ever disregard them. I've finally let the Revanites into my world--a world you have to be erased from." --Revan "The Republic is too weak and unfocused to do what must be done. To achieve my goals, all distractions must be swept aside." --Revan "That remains to be seen." --Revan "The Emperor couldn't break me. Even death could not stop me. I will finish what I've started. And you will not interfere again." --Revan
Also, it seems Revan *****-slaps you/your team at first:
"You've successfully stopped Arkous and Darok, but the unexpected arrival of Revan himself forces your team to scatter."
--Mission Objectives Update
------ ------ -------
The Plot: [SPOILER - highlight to read]: The Revanites, now under the leadership of a resurrected Revan, go to Rakata Prima in effort to now have an Infinite Army using pieces of the fabled Star Forge. With his powers even greater then before, Revan is determined to destroy the Republic and the Empire in order to achieve his twisted goal.
NOTE: [SPOILER - highlight to read]: The above information might be for 2.9 actually. Because from the information given, Revan is not killed/beaten at the end of the mission. In fact, like I said, it looks like he trashes your team. It seems like another boss will be the head of it then.

He's insane crazy now to be honest. Though what can you expect, the dude came back from the dead.
Though he's also insanely powerful now it seems. It looks like he casually ***** slapped the Operation/flashpoint's team.

MAJOR UPDATE FOR THE INFORMATION ABOVE:[SPOILER - highlight to read]: It seems the above information is for 2.9. You do a flashpoint on Rakata. The head boss seems to be Darth Arkok, who is stated to be "immensely powerful." At the end it seems you confront Revan, and his dialogue ensures, but instead of facing him, he *****-slaps your team and the mission ends one way or another. Here is the full dialogue exchange:
[It won't be exact, but below is good enough for you to get an idea:]
Conversation with Revan [Darkside?] Revan: As important as Arkous and Darok were to the cause, their deaths won't stop us. They won't even slow us down. Theron Shan: That voice, I've heard it before Lana Beniko: It's Revan. Revan: I almost had the Infinite Army I wanted so badly. But even without them, I have enough. [The rest can go in numerous different ways. Here are the options:] ---Version 1--- You: It won't be enough. Revan: I know all about rude awakenings. I won't suffer one again. ---Version 2--- You: I saw you die./I heard you were dead. Revan: Oh, I was dead--for all of a blink. ---Version 3--- You: Face me, coward. Revan: Goading me into battle might have worked before I died, but not anymore. ---This next part looks like it applies to all afterwards--- Revan: I've been reborn. My mind is clearer, my power intensified. And now, with the order under my command, I'm unstoppable. You: I thought you wanted nothing to do with the Order of Revan./You're telling me the Revanites weren't always under your control? Revan: At first, I wanted nothing to do with them. I was no prophet. Then I saw them in a new light. Revan: A secret group of devotees waiting to follow my lead without question? To help me save the galaxy? I was a fool to ever disregard them. Revan: I've finally let the Revanites into my world--a world you have to be erased from. [Some crazy shit happens and the conversation ends, which I suspect is because Revan kicks their ass based on two quotes I shared with above.]
Conversation with Revan [Lightside?] Revan: As important as Arkous and Darok were to the cause, their deaths won't stop us. They won't even slow us down. Theron Shan: That voice, I've heard it before Lana Beniko: It's Revan. Revan: My Infinite Army could have achieved so much. But I still have other weapons in my arsenal. [The rest can go in numerous different ways. Here are the options:] ---Version 1--- You: I thought you were dead. Revan: Only somewhat. When a goal is important enough, one learns to overcome any obstacle. ---Version 2--- You: Why have you betrayed us? Revan: The Republic is too weak and unfocused to do what must be done. To achieve my goals, all distractions must be swept aside. ---Version 3--- You: Bring it on! Revan: That remains to be seen. My followers are legion. My ranks grow every hour, as more and more people see the truth of the galaxy. ---This next part looks like it applies to all afterwards--- Revan: I've been reborn. My mind is clearer, my power intensified. And now, with the order under my command, I'm unstoppable. Revan: The Emperor couldn't break me. Even death could not stop me. I will finish what I've started. And you will not interfere again. [Some crazy shit happens and the conversation ends, which I suspect is because Revan kicks their ass based on two quotes I shared with above.]

I would like to point out though that since this new Revan's "power intensified", he is automatically over all comparable characters now in versus threads. (please log in to view the image)

*facepalm* The operations don't reflect the canon characters. Its just a random strike team.
Also not really happy about this. SWTOR should have just left Revan out of this. Instead we have Zombie Revan likely under the control of something more sinister (perhaps the Emperor). And if not then his character is kinda ruined for me. I mean how many times is he gonna try this infinite army/ genocide thing. Jesus the Star Forge, the Foundry, now this...
I believe the quotes about operations and flashpoints speak of the "finest" of whichever faction so that means: the Emperor's Wrath, Darth Nox, Cipher Nine, and the Champion of the Great Hunt, or the Hero of Tython, the Barsen'thor, Voidhound, and Meteor are all there for it. The extra spots are filled with randoms, but those four will always be there.
Not really. Since most of the flashpoint is spent getting to the end, not starting there, it doesn't really mean that all are necessarily needed to defeat someone. It means that it took that many people to get there at best, and it was a safety net at worst. To actually lose however, would mean that all four+extras fought and still lost. Using your reasoning, if four people go beat up one guy, that one guy must have been in the same league as that entire group combined.
