The second of three "test" assignments given to Galen Marek by Vader, Marek's mission to kill the deranged Jedi Kazdan Paratus brought the apprentice to the junkyard world of Raxus Prime, where the former Jedi Master secluded himself from reality in an obsessive reconstruction of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Defended by an army of junk golems thrown together by Paratus, Marek's mission to breach the junk temple proved to be a difficult task. After fighting his way through the armies of junk golems and a team of Rodian scavengers sifting through the junkyard hoping to make use of the materials found within, the Dark Side warrior confronted Paratus in what was the Raxus Prime equivalent of the High Council Chamber. Paratus was killed in the ensuing struggle, and Vader promised his apprentice that this victory brought him a step closer to his destiny: to assassinate Emperor Palpatine.
