Pott was eventually stationed on the island of Avilatan and tasked by her commanding officer with leading a squad to destroy several Separatist jamming beacons on Savrip Island, a smaller island just off Avilatan's coast. The beacons were jamming the navigation systems on Republic supply ships, which caused many of them to crash upon their approach to the island. Pott and her squad made several efforts to take out the beacons, but their attempts were unsuccessful due to the presence of mines, Separatist forces, and dangerous beasts known as Savrips

. During the fighting, Pott's squad lost six members, while half of the squad received life-threatening burns, and Pott lost two fingers and a large amount of credits. In addition to the heavy losses suffered by her forces, Pott also had difficulties with her equipment, which was not waterproofed.
At some point during 3643 BBY, Pott gave up trying to use her squad to destroy the beacons due to the heavy casualties her unit had suffered. Instead, she took up position near a medical droid

on the shore of Avilatan within sight of Savrip Island. By that time, she had become bitter and sarcastic about her situation and believed that her commanding officer was incompetent. However, Pott had gained access to some discretionary funds and decided that it would be better to hire someone to take out the beacons for her.
Eventually, after being on Ord Mantell for six months, Pott enticed

to venture onto the island and take out the jamming beacons using data and maps that she supplied. With the beacons destroyed and the threat to the Republic supply ships ended, Pott expressed surprise at the successful completion of the assignment and distributed the promised rewards to the involved party. Following the destruction of the beacons, she decided to hold her position until the Republic gave her a new assignment.
While serving on Avilatan, Sergeant Travi Pott wore the Republic Army's standard suit of armor with blue markings and carried a blaster pistol. After fighting on Ord Mantell for six months, she had lost two fingers, which she had replaced with cybernetics.
