Dialog transcript Satele ShanThis is Republic Emergency Response Corps secure holofrequency "polaris." A crisis on the Outer Rim requires immediate intervention. The Advozse Hegemony have obtained a Republic battle station and are using it for acts of aggressive expansion, conquering entire star systems. I am Satele Shan, Grand Master of the Jedi Council. I coordinate with the Republic Emergency Response Corps during military crises.VoidhoundHow did Advozsec "obtain" our battle station? Did someone leave it unlocked with the keys inside?MeteorI've never heard of this group. What are they after?Satele ShanThey're a xenophobic political faction seeking to expand. Until now, they've been a containable threat.MeteorDoes this emergency take precedence over my and Barsen'thor's main assignments, Master?Satele ShanThe Hegemony must be stopped immediately. Millions of innocent lives are at stake.VoidhoundNo offense, but this sounds like Jedi work to me.Satele ShanDefending the helpless from tyranny is the work of all Republic citizens.During the last war, Republic scientists developed a mobile battle station code-named "Hammer." It bombarded planetary surfaces using asteroids as weapons. Hammer Station was indiscriminately destructive. The project was canceled and its prototype ordered destroyed. We don't know how the Advosze Hegemony now possess it.MeteorWe'll solve that mystery later. The point is, that station could level whole cities.Satele ShanThe planet Skine resisted the Hegemony's demands to surrender. Hammer Station reduced its capital city to ashes two hours ago.VoidhoundMaybe our friends figured out how to construct their own Hammer Station?Satele ShanThey lack the resources to build anything of that magnitude.MeteorWhy do I get the feeling we're about to add "battle station demolitionist" to our resumes?Satele ShanA direct fleet assault would be suicide. Shields are useless against asteroid strikes. The station can target and destroy large vessels easily. But an assault shuttle could evade the asteroids and deliver a commando team to destroy Hammer Station from the inside. We just need volunteers.Hero of TythonThis is what I trained for. We'll bring down that station, whatever it takes.Satele ShanBe careful. The Jedi Order cannot afford to lose you.Barsen'thorViolence is not my way, Master, but destroying that station appears to be our best hope for peace.Satele ShanThe Force is strong in you. Let it guide you to victory.MeteorYou came to the right soldier. I specialize in storming enemy fortresses.Satele ShanAll I ask is that you come back in one piece.VoidhoundI'll do it on one condition: If I die, you build a statue in my honor. Something really impressive - and expensive.Satele ShanAgreed - but I hope we never have need to fulfill that bargain.VoidhoundAnd what happens to that commando team when the station blows up - posthumous medals?Satele ShanOverloading Hammer Station's primary weapon will take time. The boarding party can flee before its detonation.Destroying the station is your main objective, but we need to know how the Hegemony obtained it. Any data you recover could prove useful. Hammer Station has just entered orbit above Saleucami and demanded its surrender. Your assault shuttle is standing by. May the Force be with you. - Hero of Tython, Barsen'thor, T7-O1, Qyzen Fess, Meteor, Aric Jorgan, Voidhound, Corso Riggs, Satele Shan

Dialog transcript Hero of TythonHammer Station is destroyed, Master Satele.Satele ShanThe people of Saleucami and the other conquered worlds send their gratitude. The enemy has retreated to their home system. The Hegemony is no longer a threat. This is a time to heal our losses.Barsen'thorThose conquered worlds will need help rebuilding.Satele ShanRelief ships are already en route with food and medicine.Thanks to you, we know how Hammer Station survived destruction. Years ago, its autopilot was set to fly the station into a nearby star. According to the data you recovered, a mechanical failure cut the station's engines just short of its final destination. Advozsec salvagers discovered it several months ago.MeteorThe salvagers towed Hammer Station back to Hegemony space and gave its government the weapon they'd always wanted.Satele ShanIn the end, the responsibility lies with the Republic. We should never have built such a terrible weapon.VoidhoundDidn't anyone from the Republic bother to make sure that the station was destroyed?Satele ShanThe failure occurred beyond our sensor readings. It took years for Hammer Station to drift where the Advozsec salvagers could detect it. The Senate Security Committee will decide what to do about this incident - but in my experience, truth is always best. Regardless, your valiant efforts will be remembered. Take care - and may the Force be with you. - Hero of Tython, Barsen'thor, T7-O1, Qyzen Fess, Meteor, Aric Jorgan, Voidhound, Corso Riggs, Satele Shan

Summary
| This event took place shortly before the end of the Cold War.Hammer Station was designed by the Galactic Republic and was thought to have been destroyed during the Great Galactic War, but was instead seized by the Advozse Hegemony looking to grow their territory. During the Cold War, these Advozsec used the station's gravity cannon to help them gain control over neutral worlds in the Outer Rim Territories. The expansion campaign eventually came to the attention of the Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic.A group of Republic operatives were contacted by courier droid called J8R-T shortly after they arrived on Coruscant. The droid showed them a holomessage from Grand Master Satele Shan, who hinted that the Republic was facing a serious crisis, and urged them to go to the Carrick station to contact Master Shan from there and receive details of the mission.The operatives took a transport to the spaceport and from there traveled to Carrick Station. In the dropship launch hangar the received a message from Master Shan using secure "polaris" holofrequency of Republic Emergency Response Corps holoterminal. Master Shan explained the background of the crisis and revealed that Hammer Station had just entered orbit above Saleucami and demanded its surrender. She asked the operatives to go the station and destroy it, providing the operatives with an assault shuttle disguised as a garbage scow.The operatives traveled to Saleucami, secretly landed at the station's hangar and disembarked, only to discover a team of Imperial operatives who were equally surprised by the encounter. Both groups were professionals, which allowed them to discuss their goals before attacking each other. As it turned out, although their motives were different, they had the same goal - to destroy the station. Realizing that their chances of success would be much higher if they worked together - and even higher if they had not lost some of their members before the mission even began - they decided to join forces for the mission.Upon completion of the mission, the operatives boarded their shuttle and traveled back to Carrick station where they reported the mission's success to Grand Master Shan. | ||
