"While the sacrifices are heavy, we fight knowing that a single spark of courage can ignite the fires of hope, and restore peace across the galaxy."
―Jace Malcom —20?cb=20250116042720Link▶️(file info)[2]

Jace Malcom was aHumanmaleRepublic trooper, who served in theSpecial Forces Division of theRepublic Military during theGreat Galactic War andCold War, and as the military'sSupreme Commander during theGalactic War. Malcom grew up on theMid Rimworld ofBarcaria, but left at a young age to join theGalactic Republic's defense forces. By3681 BBY, he was serving as acorporal aboard aJedi-runspace station inorbit aboveKorriban. In that year, thereconstituted Sith Empire returned to knownspace to reclaim theirlost territory and exact revenge upon the Republic. During these early days of the ensuingGreat Galactic War, the Empire launched amassive strike against the Jedi and Republic forces at Korriban in an effort to retake the world which had once been their holycapital. Malcom was caught in the battle, but managed to escape the onslaught alongside JediPadawanSatele Shan and incarceratedsmuggler,CaptainNico Okarr.

The war continued on for nearly three decades, during which time Malcom was inducted into theRepublic Army's Special Forces and grantedcommand of the eliteinfantry unit 326. Under Malcom's leadership, the unit performed highly risky raids into enemy territory and earned the moniker of "Havoc Squad." At the height of the war, thesquad was stationed on theCore World ofAlderaan while the bulk of theRepublic Navy was elsewhere inthe galaxy, combating theSith. While he was stationed on the planet, Malcom and histroopers were swept up in theBattle of Alderaan, a massive Imperial invasion of the tranquil world. As the Sith forces led byDarth Malgus ravaged the planet, Malcom and his comrades took to the forests of Alderaan to wage a guerrilla campaign against the Imperials. WhenDarth Malgus turned hisarmy toward theAlderaanian capitalcity, the commander and Havoc Squad positioned themselves to ambush theSith Lord and halt his advance. In a pitched battle in the forests outside of the capital, Havoc Squad routed the Imperial Army and Malcom fought and defeated Malgus himself with the aid of then-Jedi Knight Satele Shan.

Malcom's leadership during the battle earned him and Havoc Squad great prestige throughout the Republic and inspired continued resilience against the Sith. This fame attracted the attention ofColonelElin Garza, with whom Malcom helped found a new, fully-fledged and independent Special Forces Division. Around the same time, Malcom fostered a secret relationship with Shan that ultimately culminated in a tense breakup. However, before their romantic relationship died, Malcom and Shan sired a son,Theron Shan. Malcom later received a promotion to the rank of colonel.

Following the end of the war and the implementation of a controversialpeace agreement, Malcom was asked to return to Alderaan to oversee the efforts of Republic combatants in thebloody civil war that had engulfed the planet. As theStrategic Advisor to Alderaan for the Republic Army, Malcom monitoredtroop deployments and tactical plans and maintained the military alliance between the Republic's armed forces and the nobleHouse Organa. Under his supervision, the despoticKingBouris Ulgo was deposed and the Organas solidified their advantage in the war over the Imperial-backedHouse Thul. In3640 BBY, Malcom was promoted toSupreme Commander of the Republic Military, during which time he aided then-Grand MasterSatele Shan andJedi MasterGnost-Dural in a battle againstDarth Karrid and a renewed Sith offensive.

Biography[]

Service in the Great Galactic War[]

Escape from Korriban[]

Darach: "The Sith Empire has returned. We must warn the Republic."
Malcom: "Our shuttles can't outrun those fighters."
Okarr: "Well…guess who's got the fastest ship in the sector?"
―Jedi Master Kao Cen Darach, Corporal Jace Malcom, and Captain Nico Okarr discuss their escape from Korriban[3]
Young Jace Malcolm JMGD

The young corporal Jace Malcom

Jace Malcom was aHumanmale[4] from theplanetBarcaria[1] who lived approximately three centuries after theJedi Civil War.[4] Malcom was a strong supporter of theGalactic Republic and joined theRepublic Military as anArmyofficer around3683 BBY.[5][6] Within twoyears, Malcom had been accepted into the ranks of the army'selite troopers, and by3681 BBY,[7] Malcom had attained the rank ofcorporal and was serving the government while stationed[3] in theOuter Rim Territories[8] aboard aspace stationorbiting above the Republic's protectorate world ofKorriban. There, Malcom served alongside fellow troopers and members of theJedi Order to maintain a constant vigil over the planet that had once been home to theancient Sith Empire.[3] In thatyear, areformed Empire of theSith emerged from hiding in theUnknown Regions and launched a massive surprise assault against the Republic. The Imperials'early campaigns focused primarily inthe galaxy's distantTingel Arm region, and pulled the bulk of theRepublic's navy away from their previous duties and into battle against the Sith.[9]

As a result of the fighting, Korriban lost most of its naval defenses, and was left with only a small defense force[9] consisting of the Republic troopers aboard the space station[3] and theJedi guardians who were watching over the Sith's holy world.[9] While the battles elsewhere continued to rage, Malcom served under theZabrakJedi MasterKao Cen Darach and hisPadawan learner,Satele Shan. Together, the three of them intercepted and arrested thesmugglercaptainNico Okarr on the surface of the planet[10] and ferried him back to be detained aboard the Korriban station. The smuggler captain had been caught while transportingSith artifacts and was being taken into custody when the young Shan sensed a disturbance inthe Force. At that moment, a fleet of over thirtySith battlecruisers emerged fromhyperspace above Korriban and began toassault the space station withstarfighters and boarding parties. Master Darach decided that their first priority in the battle must be to escape thesystem and inform the larger Republic that the Empire had returned to its ancienthomeworld. Although he agreed, Malcom insisted that none of the Republic'sNR2 gully jumpershuttles would be able to outrun the attackingImperial interceptors. Okarr, who had been listening in on the conversation, offered his ownXS stock light freighter theRedshifter as a means of escape,[3] as it was allegedly the fastest ship in theEsstran sector.[11]

Trooper and smuggler

Jace Malcom and Nico Okarr battle Sith forces.

The Jedi and troopers present accepted the offer and hastily fled towards the space station'shangar. While Shan and her Master ran ahead to clear the landing zone, the corporal and a fellow trooper covered their rear by remaining behind in one of the station's corridors to engage Imperial boarding parties. As the two rounded a corner towards the hangar, anImperial soldier launched amissile at them. The resulting blast temporarily incapacitated Malcom andkilled his comrade, which prompted Okarr to engage the Imperial troops himself. While he dispatched a number of approaching enemies, Malcom recovered and appropriated his fallen compatriot'slaserchaingun to assist Okarr in destroying a pair ofImperial assault droids. Although they cleared the corridor of hostiles, the Imperials again pushed forward, forcing the Okarr and Malcom to fall back into the hangar and seal the entry behind them. As they regrouped with Shan and Darach, an ImperialFury-class interceptor landed in the hangar and deposited theSith LordVindican and hisapprentice,Malgus, onto the landing bay floor.[3]

Kao Cen Darach recognized the danger of the situation, and so ordered the corporal to join the smuggler in preparing his freighter for take-off while he and Shandueled the intruders. With the assistance of the captain'sastromech droidT7-O1, the two were able to get the ship running and lift off from the hangar floor. As they moved to flee the station, the captain maneuvered his ship into a hovering position so as to allow Shan and her Master an opportunity to board. Meanwhile, Malcom lowered the boarding ramp andfired a missile at thePureblood Sith Lord, who was attempting to damage the vessel with blasts ofForce lightning. The shot was ineffective, but allowed Okarr to move closer to the Jedi, the hangarairlock, andspace beyond. Master Darach ultimately elected to stay on the station and hold the Sith back so that his Padawan might escape, thereby allowing Shan to run and attempt tojump into the departing craft. The corporal caught the Padawan mid-leap and pulled her into the freighter just before the ship slammed into the Imperial's interceptor and escaped into space. He and the young girl both operated the vessel'slaser cannons in an effort to blast away attackingSith interceptors while the smuggler made the jump to hyperspace. After narrowly avoiding collisions with a battlecruiser, the freighter jumped to hyperspace, escaping Korriban.[3]

The Alderaan triumph[]

"For centuries, Alderaan stood as a beacon of hope in the Republic. But the Empire came, and with one savage strike, brought Alderaan to her knees. Now, time is running out as few are left to face the enemy."
―Captain Jace Malcom[2]
HopeTrailer-TOR

Jace Malcom and his comrades fighting on Alderaan.

The war continued for a further twenty-eight years,[12] by the height of which Jace Malcom found new responsibility as the captain[10] ofInfantry Squad 326—an elite special forcesunit better known as Havoc Squad. Although thesquad was attached to a largerinfantry division within the army, it operated largely independently and specialized in irregular warfare.[13] In3667 BBY,[14] Malcom and his squad-mates were stationed on the tranquilCore World ofAlderaan[15]—a planet seen by many as the embodiment of Republic ideals. There, the squad and many other Republic soldiers returning from tours on the front rested and recovered from exhaustion and injuries sustained on battlefields far away.[10] However, Alderaan's reputation as the Republic's spiritual center made the world into an enticing military target for the Sith Empire,[16] which launched a plan to destroy the world and capitalize on the damage it would cause to Republic morale.[15]

While Malcom and the rest of Havoc Squad remained on Alderaan's surface alongside other recovering Republic ground forces, theRepublic Navy was called away from the planet in response to a diversionary feint set up by the recently-promotedSith LordDarth Malgus—the same Sith who had engaged the Republic defenders at Korriban. While the planet's naval defenses were occupied elsewhere inthe galaxy, Alderaan wasbesieged by a massive Imperial invasion. Led by Malgus, the Sith obliterated the local defenses and seized the world. Despite these initial successes, the Sith forces were unaware that the Republic forces stationed on the world had fled into Alderaan's forests and mountains to launch a guerrilla campaign against the Imperial advance. Malcom and Havoc Squad were among those who had gone to ground, but upon learning that Malgus was leading his forces in a march on Alderaan'scapital city[17] and thehome of the ancientOrgana,[10] Malcom mobilized his forces for an all-out assault. The troopers of Havoc Squad, many of whom were still wounded and recovering, positioned themselves on a ridge outside of Alderaan's capital in theJuran Mountains in hopes of preventing the attack on thecity[18]—a goal that was widely perceived as a suicide mission.[10] Despite the obvious danger, when Darth Malgus led columns ofwar droids,Imperial soldiers, andSith Warriors in the march through the mountains, Malcom ambushed him, firing a hand-heldblaster cannon into the approaching forces. He and the rest of Havoc Squad proceeded to jump from the ridge down into the fray of battle, where they engaged an onslaught from the warriors and their troops. Malcom destroyed several more war droids before taking aim at Darth Malgus, who was able to deflect several of the cannon shots before being engulfed in the flames from one of the captain's projectiles. Seeing that Malgus survived the blast, Malcom rushed towards the Sith Lord to finish him off with a blade, but upon nearing the Sith Lord, he was assaulted with Force lightning before beingthrown backwards across the battlefield.[2]

JaceMalcomFacingExecution-Hope

Three Sith attempt to execute Malcom.

Captain Malcom was rendered unconscious by the attack, and upon awakening, found himself at the mercy of two Sith as he watched his comrades get beaten by Malgus and his forces. The two Sith dragged Malcom to a third who prepared to execute the helplesssoldier vialightsaber, but the three were instead thrown from the trooper by a repulsive blast fromthe Force,[2] delivered by now-Jedi KnightSatele Shan, who had been tasked with defending Alderaan.[19] The Jedi's timely arrival saved Malcom and allowed Havoc Squad to refocus their assault while she continued onwards to engage Malgus. Malcom was provided with ablaster rifle from one of his fellow soldiers, and together they returned to the battlefield. He later realized that Darth Malgus had gained the upper hand in his duel against Shan, and so rushed to aid her. Malcom tackled Malgus, and while they grappled, he activated agrenade. The blast threw the two combatants away from one another and grievously wounded both. Malcom was again rendered unconscious, awakening only after the battle had come to a close. Upon discovering that Malgus and his forces had been defeated, he fired asignal flare into the sky to indicate victory. The flare was matched by dozens of others fired by victorious Republic forces across the Alderaanian landscape, signaling the Empire's defeat on Alderaan.[2] After the battle, Shan and Malcom confessed to each other their mutual feelings and conceived a son,Theron.[20]

JaceMalcom-Hope

Malcom was left with scars after Alderaan.

The battle catapulted Malcom and Havoc Squad to galactic fame and illustrated to military leaders the value of small, mobile units of elite soldiers.[13] The victory on Alderaan also provided a temporary boon to Republic morale, which allowed the war effort to continue for over a decade.[10] Malcom continued to serve the Republic through3654 BBY,[21] when the Empire'sDark Council stunned the galaxy by offering a peace initiative.The following year, Republic and Imperial delegates convened on Alderaan to discuss a treaty, but the negotiations ultimately proved to be little more than a ruse—the Sith launched anattack on the Republic capital ofCoruscant and forced the negotiators to sign theTreaty of Coruscant. These final actions sealed the Empire's victory in the Great Galactic War and left the Republic broken, demoralized, and humbled.[10] Despite this, Malcom remained a loyal member of the military and helped the Republic to rebuild its alliances and martial integrity during the following years.[5]

The Cold War[]

Promotions and politics[]

Although the Treaty of Coruscant dictated that the Republic Military stand down in its fight against the Empire and that all war zones were to be surrendered to their Imperial claimants,[10] many within the Republic government refused to fully accept defeat. Proxy wars and small, unofficial resistance movements were fostered by military leaders, and during this period of conflicts known collectively as the interstellarCold War, the Republic readied itself for new battles against the Sith.[22] By this time, Malcom had been promoted out of Havoc Squad and was serving as anadvisor to Republic military allies in his new role as acolonel.[5]

Alderaan's Civil War[]

"House Organa has a real shot at winning this war now. Alderaan's been through so much. They deserve some peaceful times."
―Colonel Malcom[5]
Malcom and Brom

Colonel Malcom and Major Brom plan strategy in Castle Organa.

Shortly after the signing of the Treaty of Coruscant, Alderaan was once again found embroiled in conflict. Because the world was so brutalized by the Empire during the invasion, its rulers were unwilling to accept the notion of peace with the Sith.Gaul Panteer,senator and crownprince of Alderaan, angrily withdrew his world from theGalactic Senate of the Republic and declared it an independent sovereignty. In the aftermath of this upheaval, both Panteer and his mother,QueenSilara Panteer, were killed under mysterious circumstances and the previously-banishedHouse Thul returned from exile with Imperial support. These events led to the outbreak of abloody civil war between the noble houses of Alderaan, all of whom were vying for the throne.[16] Although the former Republicgeneral and Alderaan nativeBouris Ulgo ofHouse Ulgo made a nearly successful bid for the crown, his reign of terror in an attempt to subjugate the planet lost him the backing of the Republic and many other houses.[23] Instead, the Republic supported the efforts of House Organa, an ancient and noble lineage with strong ties to the galactic democracy.[24] Colonel Jace Malcom was dispatched to Alderaan to fill the role ofStrategic Advisor to Alderaan for the Republic Army and leader of theFirst Alderaan Support Division. There, he was stationed in Castle Organa and worked closely with hisNautolan aide,MajorBrom, to ensure the safety and tactical superiority of House Organa's forces—a difficult task, given the Organas' inexperience in military affairs and traditional pacifism. Despite these shortfalls, many in house Organa, likeJeren Nolus Organa, were extremely loyal to Malcom out of respect for his sacrifices for the planet during the Great War.[5]

Jace Malcom on Coruscant

Malcom was promoted to Supreme Commander during the Galactic War.

Following the defeat of Bouris Ulgo around3643 BBY,[25] Malcom continued to serve as a tactical advisor for the Organas as they rushed to capture land that was previously unavailable. Although the colonel attempted to temper their zeal, the Organas disregarded his advice and ultimately failed to secure their newly acquired territory. Malcom's investigations found that theKing's Pass region was the most heinous instance of Organa oversight, and featured a large gap in defense. Knowing that House Organa would suffer heavy casualties from the splintering Ulgo forces, the upstarts inHouse Rist, and the violent and territorialspecies of Alderaanianinsectoids known as theKilliks, the colonel arranged for a Republic combatant who had helped depose Ulgo to return to the planet. The two met with Major Brom in Malcom's offices in Castle Organa and began to discuss the importance of King's Pass and ways to seal the gap. While they spoke, they were interrupted by a communication fromLieutenantRoss, an officer stationed in the Pass. Ross and her forces were under attack from Killik raiders and House Ulgo soldiers, and were in need of immediate assistance. Colonel Malcom commanded the Republic combatant to go to King's Pass and relieve the fighters there while he worked with House Organa's leaders to refine their strategies. The combatant was ultimately successful, and their efforts overwhelmed House Organa's enemies and forced them to retreat from King's Pass. Colonel Malcom again met with the individual after the mission to debrief and thank them, noting that their efforts made peace on Alderaan a true possibility.[5]

The Galactic War[]

Supreme Commander Malcom[]

Republic leaders

Following the success of the Alderaan operation and renewed fighting on dozens of worlds, the Cold War came to a close and gave way to theGalactic War. The opening battles of this renewed conflict were devastating for both the Republic and Empire, and saw the deposition of the Republic'sSupreme ChancellorDorian Janarus[26] and the supposed death of theSith Emperor.[27] During this upheaval, Malcom was again promoted, this time to serve as the successor to the humanRans[28] in the position ofSupreme Commander of the Republic Military. His tenure as the military's executive officer allowed him to work once more with Satele Shan, who now served asGrand Master of the Jedi Order. Together, the two of them fought againstDarth Karrid's renewed Imperial offensive in3640 BBY.[20]

The Hutt Crisis[]

In3638 BBY,[29] Malcom appeared in aHoloNet broadcast following the conclusion of theHutt Crisis onMakeb alongsideSupreme ChancellorLeontyne Saresh and Satele Shan to announce the resolution of the Crisis, and the apparent death of theSith Emperor.[30] Following this, it was discovered thatRegulator holdouts were still alive down on the surface with thousands of civilians who were believed to be dead, leading Malcom to devote Republic forces towards rescuing the people and securing the still-valuable world.[31]

Renewed Conflict[]

War on Iokath[]

This section of the article assumes 100% game completion and that the player chooses only "light side" options when available during the course ofStar Wars: The Old Republic: Knights of the Eternal Throne. Alternate stories are noted in the "Behind the scenes" section. Note: The events in this section may or may not have been confirmed ascanon within theStar Wars Legends continuity.
JaceMalcomIokath

Supreme Commander Malcom on Iokath

Many years later, in3629 BBY,[29] following theWar against Zakuul and the rise of theEternal Alliance, Malcom sent Republic forces to the artificial world ofIokath in the hopes of securing asuperweapon calledTyth for the Republic. While there his forces came into conflict with forces sent byEmpress Acina, who was similarly after the superweapon. When theAlliance Commander heard of this, they traveled to Iokath to speak with Malcom and Acina about their trespassing of the world. Malcom sentCaptainElara Dorne as an emissary to broker an alliance with the Commander, and similarly, Acina sentMajorMalavai Quinn for the same purpose. Ultimately, the Alliance Commander decided to work with Malcom and the Republic.[32]

This prompted Acina to launch an attack on Republic held territory. With few other options, Malcom asked the Commander to assist in fighting off the Imperial soldiers, to which they agreed.[33] The Alliance Commander, along withTheron Shan andLana Beniko, met with Malcom, and discussed that in order to properly defeat Acina, they would need some of Iokath's weaponry. However, when the Commander and Shan left to find some, they discovered that the superweapon both sides were after had actually eradicated all life on Iokath when it was last used in theIokath Civil War, including theiroriginal creators. Returning to Malcom, they received a call from Acina, who had claimed to find a backdoor into the superweapon. Despite urging her to stop, Acina continued trying to access the superweapon to use it against the Republic. Because of this, Malcom presented the Commandeer with theNova Strider, asking them to use it to go stop Acina.[34]

Supreme Commander Malcom on Iokath

The Alliance Commander then left, rushing to stop Acina from using the weapon. Unfortunately, they were too late to stop Acina from attempting to access it, which led to her sudden death, and the awakening of Tyth and the otherOld Gods. The Alliance Commander used theEternal Fleet to momentarily pacify Tyth, but this was only a temporary solution, and the Commander would later need to return to Iokath todestroy the Old Gods. Returning to the Republic base, Malcom told the Commander that the Imperial forces were still fighting, even after the death of Acina. He expressed that in order to keep them from claiming the superweapon, the Republic would need to continue hammering the Empire, day by day, hour by hour, until they won the war.[35]

Personality and traits[]

"What makes you so sure that House Organa can't win on their own?"
"Forty years of soldiering and more scars than I care to count. If this gap isn't covered, there will be blood."
―A Republic combatant and Colonel Malcom[5]
Trooper vs Malgus

Jace Malcom struggles with Darth Malgus before activating his grenade.

Jace Malcom was extremely loyal to the Republic, and was willing to give his life to defend his government and people. He believed that, despite the strength of the enemy, hope for peace could be restored to the Republic and the galaxy through simple acts of courage in the face of those overwhelming odds.[2] These values were his motivation for work in the Republic Military—a career that spanned well over forty years and numerous battles and injuries.[5] His dedication and spirit lent to his ability as a soldier and facilitated his gradual ascent through the ranks of military hierarchy.[5] As a corporal, Malcom served the Republic fiercely, and defended Korriban's orbital security station despite the simultaneous need to escape. He followed the orders issued by the Jedi, and was willing to work alongside a criminal who had been in Republic captivity only moments before the Sith assault began. At great personal risk, Malcom ensured Satele Shan's escape by descending the loading ramp of a freighter in-flight and pulling the Jedi aboard.[3]

Supreme Commander Malcom is focused

Malcom's face betrays his emotions when facing his enemies.

As a captain of Havoc Squad, Malcom displayed extreme courage during the Battle of Alderaan, directly engaging the Sith forces despite his own forces being vastly outnumbered. Now in a command position, he led the charge against Malgus's troops, leaping from atop a high ridge directly into the heat of battle with the Sith. Throughout the battle he gunned for Malgus himself, and charged headlong into combat against the enemy commander several times. During his first attack, Malcom was assaulted by a barrage of Force lightning but managed to withstand its effects for a period of time while continuing to approach the Sith Lord. In the second instance, he activated a grenade while still holding it in his hand, nearly killing himself in order to successfully wound Darth Malgus.[2] These actions engendered the people of Alderaan to Malcom personally and led to his promotion to colonel, at which point he shifted roles from frontline warrior to tactician and advisor. Even in his new capacity however, he worked to ensure the Republic's battlefield superiority in the hope that the wars might one day come to a close.[5]

Supreme Commander Malcom

Malcom in his Supreme Commander uniform

Over the course of his career, Malcom established a strong relationship with the Jedi Satele Shan. The two fought together on Korriban and Alderaan, and again later during Darth Karrid's offensive. They saved each other's lives several times during these engagements and Shan remarked in an entry in theJedi Archives onTython that she trusted the soldier as much as she trusted any of her fellow Jedi.[10] Likewise, Malcom enjoyed fighting alongside the Jedi, and those positive experiences made him eager to work with more Jedi in the future.[5] This disposition put him at odds with many in the Republic government and military after the Sacking of Coruscant, as the Jedi were widely blamed for the Republic's loss of the war.[36] Malcom similarly developed a strong connection to the planet Alderaan and its people. Despite the frustration he faced in advising the inexperienced House Organa, Malcom tackled the project with zeal in the hope that after a devastating invasion and a bloody civil war, the Alderaanian people could finally enjoy long-awaited peace.[5]

In addition to moderate facial hair, he sported several facial scars prior to the Battle of Alderaan. After the conclusion of the conflict, the right side of his face was heavily disfigured as a result of the close quarters explosion from his grenade and the impact he suffered after being thrown by the force of the blast.[2]

Equipment[]

Jace Malcom was outfitted with the standardwhite-and-orangearmor of a Republic trooper during the Great Galactic War. While fighting above Korriban, he made use of a blaster cannon, as well as a laser chaingun and a missile launcher. During the battle, the corporal lost his helmet,[3] and on Alderaan he elected not to utilize one. He kept acombat knife in a sheath on his chest and in battle on the Core World he again wielded a portable blaster cannon. Malcom also made use of grenades and signal flares during the conflict on Alderaan.[2] During the Cold War, Malcom eschewed the common garb of fabric uniforms that were favored by military leaders and instead continued to wear a suit of trooper armor, largely identical to that which he had worn throughout the Great War.[5]

Behind the scenes[]

Jace Malcom first appeared, albeit unnamed, inHope, the second cinematic trailer for thevideo gameStar Wars: The Old Republic byBioWare andLucasArts. The trailer, released by BioWare onJune 14 of2010, depicts the trooper as the narrator, explaining events on Alderaan prior to the skirmish featured in the trailer. He later received a brief mention inPaul S. Kemp's short story "The Old Republic: The Third Lesson" and novelThe Old Republic: Deceived. The character later appeared inReturn, the third cinematic trailer for the game, released onJune 6,2011. Following these appearances and mentions, the character was commonly depicted in promotional work forThe Old Republic to represent the Republic Trooper class and archetype in the game itself. The trooper was finally given his name in an interview withCharles Boyd, Bioware's Lead Writer for the Trooper class inThe Old Republic.[37]

The Old Republic was released onDecember 20 of 2011 and featured Malcom as a non-player character seen in cutscene conversations with Republic-aligned player characters on Alderaan. Malcom is the primary objective-giver in the extended mission called "Alderaan: Bonus Series." In the game as well as the trailers, Malcom is voiced by veteranStar Wars voice actorKevin Michael Richardson.[38] Malcom appeared once again in2012 within the pages ofDrew Karpyshyn's novelThe Old Republic: Annihilation.

Gameplay alternatives[]

Death of Jace Malcom

Jace Malcom speaks the last words to his son before death.

During theWar on Iokath, the player must side with either the Empire or the Republic, possibly against their original faction, neither of which is a light or dark side choice. If the player sides with the Empire, and thus Acina instead of Malcom, Malcom will launch an all out attack on Imperial territory, and the Alliance Commander will be asked to aid the Empire. Following this, the story plays out almost exactly the same, but with Acina and Malcom's positions in the story swapped. This will eventually lead to Malcom's death when he tries to activate the superweapon. Malcom will die in the arms of his son, Theron Shan, asking him to tell Satele that he was sorry.[35]
