Wookieepedia on the ebon hawk
After Revan abandoned the ship and droids, T3-M4 took control of the Ebon Hawk for a period of time. Before Revan left, Bastila Shan had given the droid orders to protect Revan and to get help if anything went wrong. T3-M4 took this order seriously and immediately set out to find Jedi who could help.
What went on during the time between Revan's ownership of the Ebon Hawk and its acquisition by the Jedi Exile is largely a mystery. At some point, HK-47 was subjected to close-range blaster fire, and several of his parts became scattered around the galaxy, while his deactivated body remained in the ship's storage compartment. The cargo hold came to house several containers with miscellaneous parts and supplies, as well as another astromech droid, 3C-FD.
Five years after the Battle of Rakata Prime, the Ebon Hawk was picked up by the Harbinger, a Republic Hammerhead-class capital ship that was transporting a passenger known as the Jedi Exile. The Harbinger had received a distress signal which claimed that the freighter was being attacked by a Sith warship. The Harbinger crew searched both vessels, but found no one alive, only T3-M4 and the body of a seemingly dead Sith Lord, Darth Sion.[3]
Some days later the Sith Lord woke up in the Harbinger's medical bay, and the crew realized that the ship had been boarded by a number of stealthed Sith Assassins. They attacked the Republic crew.
While the chaos ensued, an HK-50-series assassin droid posing as a protocol droid rendered the Jedi Exile unconscious and sealed her in the cargo hold. She was quickly found by T3-M4 and Kreia and brought aboard the Ebon Hawk. Unknown to them, the assassin droid also stowed away as they escaped. The hijacked vessel Harbinger fired on the Ebon Hawk just as it made the jump to hyperspace, nearly destroying the freighter.
When it emerged from hyperspace, the ship was in dire condition. The hyperdrive and both engines were dead, and it was floating dangerously close to the asteroid field surrounding Peragus II. Everyone aboard was dead or dying, and it was up to T3-M4 to repair the ship enough to make it to the Peragus Mining Facility.
Like I said Major plot holes. I mean that explanation didn't really make much sense. Revan just abandoned his ship and his droids? (T3-M4 who was also stolen 😈 and Hk-47 the most awesome droid ever 😈 ) Then HK got shot at some point? 3C-FD? Was he even in the game? The rest made sense... wait was threecee in the prologue?

It was explained in Kotor 2. If you repaired T3 and had Revan as a male lightsider, you got a holo recording of Bastila sending T3 out to find help (in the form of a powerful Jedi) to help Revan in the unkown regions. Kreia pobably intercepted the Ebon Hawk at some point, got attacked by Sion and just happened to run into the Harbinger which was in the same sector as Peragus.

T3 was not stolen... Revan bought the little droid at a droid shop in Taris...
And I agree, HK is the most incredible droid ever.

However he was supposed to for Davik, to aid Canderous Ordo in breaking into a Sith Base on Taris. But he was purchased by Revan who was pretending to work for Davik. He esentially stole T3 from Davik, even though he bought it.

Yea, but the thing I'm having trouble with is why did Revan leave his ship and two droids, one of which was an assassin droid and would have been useful in the unknown reagons. I mean not even the Exile left the Hawk when she went after Revan in the light side ending.
And I still don't remember mention of 3C in the game.
tangible god, me and my bro just kinda snickered at ur sig... both the pic and the words...
back on topic for me
u ask why revan would leave his droids and ship behind. this is simple... he decided he would not be one of the topselling games in kotor 3 if he didnt fly through space collecting stuff like in mario galaxy... so right now he is flying around looking for coins because his agent said that that would make kotor 3 a better seller. if kotor is ever made. so expect to be the dark lord of the sith searching for the threat of the true sith by floating though space smiling. maybe they could have him meet up with mario just for the crap of it....
so yea. expect to see "Knights of The Old Republic: Galaxy" in stores in 2009......
we both know the REAL reason that the exile got revan's ship... it was because the game developers
A. were too lazy to model a whole new ship
or
B. it was a storyline error that remained when they decided not to have nihilus kill revan. (originally, nihilus's mask was going to be made out of revan's skull, but they scrapped that idea because they wanted to keep more possibilities for the character, which nobody blames them for, a part of me would have died with revan) and they were too lazy or overlooked the ship...
or
C; When i played kotor, i played kotor 2 first. because you start buck naked in a mining facility, i was kind of curious so i bought the original kotor, hoping that that was where you started playing as the exile. the first thing i noticed when i turned on the game was that the launcher had the very same ship! i was happily surprised and glad when they also showed my two favorite kotor droids. maybe this is the reason, so that it isnt such a blind and sudden change from kotor. maybe it is so that there are still elements from the original kotor and characters. if the ebon hawk and the droids were not there, then you would defenitely probably not call it a sequel, as it would have very little to do with kotor except for maybe recruiting canderous ordo and the few references that kreia and the rest of the galaxy occaisionally makes... so they gave you a familiar ship and some familiar characters. if you look at it from this point of view, thats probably why the prolouge had you playing as t3 and seeing everybody's fav assasin droid, hk, humped over dead.
so that you would kind of remember kotor 1, and get the impression that this is a sequel 🙂
after playing kotor 1 a year ago untill its end, i am now playing kotor 2 and laughing about how well kreia is aligned with me on my view of how the force is. in my view if i were in the star wars universe, the force would have to be eliminated as the primary cause of deciet, betrayal, and death.

Best-selling series generated many millions. Wait, 4 years now, and people will be super-psyched to see a third, more promising one. Financially, whoever produces #3 is very smart.
the only challenge, of course, would be to make a story as well as kotors to keep fans happy and keep things open for a sequel, if it was in fact that good. alot of games can be made to cover 4000 years of unexplained storyline ;p

That's exactly what I think. They would gain a lot of profit from the game, the fans are itching for it, and it would be plain stupid not to fill in the holes.
