Dialog transcript

Childress
Hey, there. Captain Childress. I want to thank you for taking the time to see me. You did nice work on that land claim mess. Like we flew this many troops to the armpit of the galaxy so some kids could play pioneer. It'll take way more than it's worth to make this planet livable. Only thing interesting about Taris is that it's the worst failure the Republic's ever had.
Meteor
The destruction of Taris was a terrible loss.
Voidhound
I don't know much about Taris's history.
Childress
Way back when, the Sith were searching for a Jedi here. When they couldn't find her, they tried destroying the entire planet. The Jedi escaped, but millions of people died an ugly flaming death. The Empire tried the same thing on Coruscant in the last war. Three hundred years after Taris, we still don't know squat about how to defend against a bombardment once ships are in low orbit.
Voidhound
I'm good, but not that good. I could take a battle cruiser or two, but I don't know if I can stop a whole bombardment.
Childress
Ha! We're not there yet. Right now, we're just trying to learn what we did wrong. That's why I'm here. Learn what we can so we don't repeat the mistakes.
I sent commandos to defend a research team at the crash site of the Endar Spire - the last Republic warship shot down over this planet. If we're lucky, that ship recorded the whole bombardment. But my team's lost contact... which means there are desk jockeys in the wild with the most valuable data on Taris.
Meteor
We'll go find the team. If they've still got coms, tell them help is on the way.
Childress
The crash site's a ways out. Fast as you can make it - I don't know if we've got survivors. Research team's your number two priority. Data's the most important thing. Take anything the Endar Spire recorded to Commander Viqui at the outpost.
