  Dialog transcript

  Imogh Ah, at last! One moment, please... Senator? Your special appointment has arrived. Vanara Kayl Thank you for coming on short notice. I'm Senator Vanara Kayl. Forgive my abruptness, but time is a luxury I don't possess. As you may have heard, Coruscant is overwhelmed with refugees fleeing Imperial tyranny. Many have been here since the war. The refugees took over the old Galactic Market sector, huddling in shops and warehouses that were abandoned during the Sacking of Coruscant. They refuse to leave. Hero of Tython Is the Republic doing anything to provide for these refugees? Vanara Kayl Resources are scarce. There's only so much we can do. We've offered to resettle them offworld, but they're demanding to remain here. As so often happens when fear and poverty dominate, a criminal element has risen to take advantage of the situation. The Migrant Merchants' Guild began as a political advocacy group for refugees. Over the years, it transformed into a ruthless and murderous criminal syndicate. Barsen'thor As if these people didn't have enough problems, now they're being controlled by gangsters. Vanara Kayl These criminals exploit the very people their guild allegedly protects. They rule through intimidation and extortion. Meteor Do the gangsters have a power structure? A leader? Vanara Kayl It's a consortium of powerful crime lords. When one falls, another takes his place. It makes them difficult to defeat. The Migrant Merchants' Guild has grown increasingly hostile and violent. Their criminal enforcers have acquired military-grade weaponry. Earlier today, their thugs took to the streets. They attacked our security personnel, set fires, began rioting. We're facing an armed insurrection. Meteor Sounds like Ord Mantell. You just described the last enemy I fought. Vanara Kayl I need your expertise, Lieutenant. We can't rule out the possibility of Imperial influence. Voidhound Have these gangsters made any demands? Vanara Kayl They only seem intent on destruction. For generations, the old Galactic Market was Coruscant's central trade hub. Its importance isn't merely economic - it's a symbol of the Republic's freedom. The comm channels are jammed. We've lost contact with our security forces. I need your help ending this crisis. The criminals must not win. Voidhound Your forces are probably dead. If the situation's as bad as you say, your people didn't survive. Vanara Kayl There's still hope. If my security forces were dead, those gangsters couldn't resist letting me know. Do whatever you must to save innocent lives from that criminal filth. Find my security chief, Captain Winborn. He'll help. Good luck.

  Imogh How lovely to see you again. Any friend of Senator Kayl's is a friend of mine. Vanara Kayl That will be all, Minister. Dismissed. Captain Winborn contacted me. You thwarted an attack that would've killed thousands. You have my gratitude. Unfortunately, you also have a holorecording I would like destroyed. Its contents will only cause harm. Meteor You've been lying to everyone, Senator. The only reason those gangsters attacked us was to get at you. Vanara Kayl I understand your anger, Lieutenant. But you need to understand - things here are complicated. Many choices only appear foolish in retrospect. At the time, it felt like the right thing to do. My opponent in the elections was a vile man: lazy, stupid and corrupt. He wasn't interested in building, only taking. I had to win. But I didn't possess as much wealth as he did. When those gangsters approached me, I accepted their "donation"- and I'd do it again. Meteor Do you hear yourself? After everything that's happened, you still won't admit to being wrong. I'm not wrong. If you'd witnessed the suffering on this world - the poverty and despair - you'd know that. Don't be naive. Wealth can purchase influence - and influence sways popular opinion. My opponent understood that too well. I stole from those criminals to rebuild Coruscant for its people. Set things right. I'll bring the Migrant Merchants' Guild to justice. You hold the power to ensure my success. Let me finish healing this world. Please destroy that recording. Barsen'thor If you really love the people of Coruscant, you'll admit what you've done. Let them decide whether or not to forgive you. Vanara Kayl You think I'm dishonest? I'm just a realist - but there's no point arguing it with you. I won't force you to go public. I'll call an emergency meeting in the Senate. Tell them the truth. Let them decide. Meteor Coruscant will be rebuilt, with or without you. We promise to help finish what you've started. Vanara Kayl Perhaps you should run for office. I'll see to it you're properly recognized for your heroism in the old Galactic Market. Farewell.
