    Averdon
    This is a disaster, Bareesh. How can I deal with enemies who don't negotiate?
    Bareesh Fenn'ak Torill
    The Kintan Kings only understand one language, Ambassador.
    Meteor
    Minister Plennid sent us. We have your stolen security passcodes.
    Averdon
    I couldn't believe our luck when he sent word you were coming. You have my gratitude. I'm Ambassador Averdon. This is Bareesh Fenn'ak Torill, one of the system's most prominent business leaders. Welcome.
    Bareesh Fenn'ak Torill
    I am honored to meet such brave defenders of the Republic. Make yourself comfortable. Any friend of the ambassador's is a friend of mine.
    Barsen'thor
    We were starting to wonder if the Republic was all alone here.
    Averdon
    Far from it. Bareesh has been a great friend to the Republic in a dark time.
    Meteor
    Bring us up to speed.
    Averdon
    I'm afraid we're at war with the underworld. My mission is to establish strong Republic ties on Nar Shaddaa. We need its technological assets to defend ourselves against the Empire. Nar Shaddaa's leaders sold us an entire sector to use as our base of operations. Unfortunately, it's overrun with Kintan King gangsters. The gang considers us invaders. They've turned our sector into a war zone. The Kintan Kings want us out of their territory - and they're winning. A Jedi who was helping us was found butchered in the open street. Those gangsters did horrible things to him.
    Voidhound
    Nar Shaddaa isn't known for its law-abiding citizens. No offense, Hutt.
    Bareesh Fenn'ak Torill
    Negative propaganda, I assure you. Most of our citizens are decent people.
    Hero of Tython
    You're sure it was gangsters who killed the Jedi?
    Averdon
    Yes and no. Reliable information is scarce.
    Barsen'thor
    The Jedi Masters on Tython need to hear about this.
    Averdon
    I'm not authorized to contact Tython, but we have done some investigating.
    Voidhound
    It takes more than a few cheap thugs to kill a Jedi.
    Averdon
    The Jedi was young, but very strong. We believe this gang is indeed unique. We also believe the gang's leader is more than a mere criminal. We're not certain, but there were strange cuts and markings on his body. Almost ritualistic. It's an inconceivable tragedy that such a strong young Jedi could die so easily.
    Bareesh Fenn'ak Torill
    We hear rumors that the gang's leader is a Morgukai.
    Averdon
    Morgukai are a Nikto cult - Jedi hunters trained to resist the Force.
    Barsen'thor
    We've been trained to deal with Sith, Ambassador.
    Averdon
    I assume the dead Jedi was, too. The gangsters' attack on Minister Plennid was a diversion. Their true goal was hijacking a Republic military freighter carrying cybernetic combat implants.
    Bareesh Fenn'ak Torill
    The implants were my goodwill gesture to the Republic. They are finest-quality technology.
    Averdon
    We don't need Kintan Kings with enhanced speed and strength. When you have the implants, take them to an arms merchant named Nurkolas. He secretly works for Bareesh.
    Bareesh Fenn'ak Torill
    Nurkolas will provide a fortified base of operations for you. He has many things you will find useful. Now go - bring those Kintan King scum to their knees! Er, for the good of the Republic....
    Averdon
    The hijackers flew the freighter to a "chop shop" to turn the ship into spare parts. They're unloading it as we speak. hatever you plan to do, do it quickly.

    Bareesh Fenn'ak Torill
    Your attack on those gangster scum reaped unexpected benefits. They revealed a new den of evil to us! We intercepted a holomessage ordering the Kintan Kings to protect their slave market. They're selling kidnapped Republic citizens!
    Barsen'thor
    These criminals are truly depraved.
    Averdon
    It's much worse than you think, Master Jedi.
    Voidhound
    Is the news reliable?
    Averdon
    Our people have been disappearing for weeks. I thought they were being murdered, but now we know better. Some of the kidnapping victims are Force-sensitive children who were passing through here on their way to the Jedi. I shudder to think what those criminal scum have in mind for the children.
    Hero of Tython
    Nothing good, I'm sure.
    Averdon
    The Sith Empire is always looking for new children to train on Korriban. Bareesh believes the gang's slave market is in the ruins of an old casino.
    Bareesh Fenn'ak Torill
    It used to be a very fine establishment. The Kintan Kings do not deserve such splendor!
    Barsen'thor
    Your priorities are suspect.
    Bareesh Fenn'ak Torill
    What have I said to earn your mistrust? I'm deeply concerned for the children.
    Averdon
    There's no need to discuss this further. Please hurry - free our people before it's too late.

    Dialog transcript
    Bareesh Fenn'ak Torill
    Excellent work, my dauntless friends! I will ensure all the Mountain's explosives are recovered from your spaceport and dismantled. I am aware of what those Nikto filth revealed to you. They never found all my surveillance devices after they drove me out. So... you know I was once leader of the Kintan Kings. What will you do with this knowledge?
    Meteor
    The Republic does not form alliances with gangsters, Bareesh. This information must be revealed to Ambassador Averdon.
    Bareesh Fenn'ak Torill
    Do not be so hasty to shatter the young diplomat's illusions. What if I were no longer a gangster? I am no traitor to the Republic's cause, I assure you. Damaging my reputation is not in the Republic's best interests.
    When I lost control of the Kintan Kings and came to the Promenade, I discovered the greatest profits come from legitimate enterprises. I am done with crime. Let me aid the Republic's cause. Your people make excellent business partners - much better than the Empire.
    Hero of Tython
    You're still only motivated by greed, Bareesh.
    Bareesh Fenn'ak Torill
    Not completely! There's something satisfying about legitimacy. Do you know how much overhead it takes to run a criminal empire? It's ludicrous.
    Barsen'thor
    Why should we believe you?
    Bareesh Fenn'ak Torill
    Without my help, the Republic's mission will fail. Do you want Nar Shaddaa in the Empire's hands? If Ambassador Averdon learns of my past indiscretions, I fear it will doom our flourishing alliance.
    Meteor
    You can't buy your way to respectability. You have to earn it.
    Bareesh Fenn'ak Torill
    Blast you! Have you no sense of the greater good? If the truth must come out, I will be the one to reveal it. Ambassador Averdon and I will see you on the Promenade.

    Averdon
    The Kintan Kings are retreating, thanks to you. The Republic's citizens are finally safe. I should be happier, but Bareesh just told me some distressing news.
    Bareesh Fenn'ak Torill
    I revealed my shameful past. Are you pleased with yourself? I should kill you for humiliating me! Er... but I am reformed, so I will not.
    Voidhound
    I'm sure you still have plenty of skeletons in your cargo locker.
    Bareesh Fenn'ak Torill
    You speak nonsense while an important alliance hangs by a thread.
    Averdon
    Nar Shaddaa is critical to the Republic's future, and allies are in short supply. I'll work with you, Bareesh - but I'll keep a close eye on your activities.
    Bareesh Fenn'ak Torill
    Wonderful! I will never disappoint you.
    Averdon
    Thank you for everything you did - especially revealing the truth. I hope my decision to trust Bareesh hasn't upset you. The truth is, I still need your help. As you're among the few people I can trust here, would you take on another matter? A local man named Ilox has requested Republic assistance in the Red Light Sector. If you find yourself there, please speak to him. You and I have much to discuss, Bareesh. Farewell, my friends.

all five Mountain brothers. Unfortunately for Bareesh, before they were killed, the brothers told the operatives about Bareesh's past and what they thought what his real motives for helping the Republic. Fearing that his past might negatively affect his affairs, he tried to bribe the operatives to keep it a secret, but failed and, ashamed, told Averdon himself.
Although Averdon had his suspicions, he agreed to continue working with the Hutt, as the Republic was in dire need of allies on Nar Shaddaa. Although the Republic had limited its dealings with Bareesh for some time, he sought to expand their cooperation, sincerely believing that the Republic was a better business partner than the Empire.
