Did you actually read through the dialogue of the game?

(SPOILER)
Kreia was Revan's master. She also mentions what she believes Revan's purpose was in becoming a Sith Lord: Revan possibly uncovered information regarding a threat beyond the galaxy regarding the "ancient Sith" a race from Korriban that adopted some exiled fallen Jedi as their pseudo-gods and rulers. IIRC they tried to conquer the galaxy but the Jedi crushed them, with some remnants of their civilization possibly escaping beyond the edges of the galaxy. Kreia implies that it is the existence of this threat, these "True Sith" that Revan uncovered, and that he believed he needed to understand and perhaps wield their Dark Side power to stop them. He also saw the Republic and the Jedi and their passive philosophy entirely unprepared to deal with the "true threat" and so, probably being used by the Dark Side to a great extent, attempted to take over the Republic himself. At the end of KoTOR2 the Exile flies off in search of Revan.

Sure, the game is only loosely connected to KoTOR1 in terms of characters and story, but it set up the situation for the completion of the story in the third game, if we ever get one...we have to see what Revan uncovered beyond the edge of the galaxy and what the Jedi Order, now consisting of the Exile and his apprentice-friends, can do to stop it.
