Dialog transcript |
Dorne and Thorus knew each other while both served in the Imperial Army. Dorne knew that Thorus ordered the executions of hundreds of civilian non-combatants and full-scale bombings of unarmed populations in circumvention of direct orders from Imperial Command. Dorne believed that military actions against civilian populations were explicitly unlawful, as it was defined in the Treaty of Coruscant. |

GaffWell, well. General Garza graces us with her finest. At ease--I'm Colonel Gaff, and these are my senior officers. Your CO sent orders to do whatever is necessary to support your mission. Of course, she didn't see fit to tell me what that mission is - care to enlighten me?MeteorI'm afraid I can't, Colonel.GaffTypical. Forget the reconstruction of Taris - I've got to shift everything around and help with some "top secret mission" nonsense! Whatever Garza has you looking for, you won't find it on Taris. Nothing unusual has happened since I took command.Elara DornePatrol teams three, five and eight. All lost, all without explanation.GaffSergeant Dorne, I don't recall giving you permission to speak.Elara DorneI wasn't speaking to you - I was speaking to the lieutenant, per General Garza's instructions. Are you ordering me to violate Code 73-B and ignore the general's directive, Colonel?GaffAlways got a regulation to quote, don't you, Sergeant Dorne?MeteorIf the sergeant has information, I'll take it.GaffThe matter was settled days ago. Taris is dangerous - casualties are common on patrol teams. It's unfortunate, but not unusual, no matter what Sergeant Dorne says. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got a planet to run. Carry on with your "secret mission" - just don't muck up anything important. |
Dialog transcript |
Elara DorneApologies for the colonel, Lieutenant. Not all men are meant to lead.MeteorColonel Gaff is disobeying a direct order.Elara DorneI can assure you, it's not the first time he's done so.MeteorThe colonel has his rank for a reason. We shouldn't question him.Elara DorneRegulation 5.3 compels us to report all officer misconduct. The command structure must be effective.MeteorIf you have information that could help me, I'd like to hear it.Elara DorneVery well, Lieutenant. I'm Elara Dorne, sir. Sergeant, first class, commander of Search and Rescue Squad 204. We have three full squads, all MIA on patrols. The situation is critical.MeteorDo you have any idea what happened to these men?Elara DorneI'm afraid not, Lieutenant. Eighteen unexplained casualties over two weeks. Regulations call for a battalion-level investigation, but nothing has been done. And the threat behind these MIAs could be tied to your mission. Casualties are common on swamp patrols. Rakghoul attacks account for the majority - approximately eighty-seven percent. However, SAR sweeps discovered no evidence of rakghoul activity in these instances - someone else attacked those teams. If you're looking for unusual activity, then this is it, sir.MeteorI appreciate your help, Sergeant. What exactly is a "rakghoul," anyway?Elara DorneRakghouls are disease-carrying mutants. Rakghoul bites and scratches are infectious. Those infected become rakghouls themselves in six to forty-eight hours.I included the last known coordinates for the MIA patrols in my official incident report, Lieutenant. I'll load it onto your datapad for your review. Taris falls under unexplored/unsecured territory protocols - all armor-cams transmit to SAR Command. Security Code MR-7-C grants temporary authorization in this situation. I'll contact you with developments.MeteorSounds like a plan, Sergeant.Elara DorneI'll be in the SAR office if you require further support, Lieutenant. Farewell. Good luck, Lieutenant. |
Dialog transcript |
Elara DorneThose are power converters, Lieutenant. Old ones. Any theories on how they got to that location?MeteorThe people who attacked our patrols may have dropped them.Elara DornePossible. None of the other patrols logged similar discoveries. Power converters come from ignition systems, engine parts. It takes work to remove them. Someone dropped those converters - either the patrol or their attackers. We need more information to determine which.MeteorI'll search the next coordinates immediately.Elara DorneI'll remain in contact, Lieutenant. Dorne out. |
Dialog transcript |
Elara DorneMore power converters. According to the logs, this patrol followed an entirely different route. Either both patrols recovered the same engine parts from separate locations, or the converters were dropped in both areas by one group: the attackers. If the converters were dropped by an enemy, we can use them to track that enemy.MeteorI think we're on the right track, Sergeant.Elara DorneA specialist MO-7 science officer could examine the converters to determine their source. We have such an officer on staff. I will notify him while you search the last coordinates.MeteorSounds like a plan, Sergeant.Elara DorneVery well, Lieutenant. I'll proceed to science division at once. Good luck, Lieutenant. |
Dialog transcript |
Elara DorneLieutenant! Status report - are you injured?MeteorNegative, no injuries here.Elara DorneGood. There's much to do.MeteorI guess we know what happened to the other patrols.Elara DorneAffirmative, sir. There can be no doubt. Your attackers were scavengers. Threat assessment reports classify them as a non-combatant group. That classification is clearly inaccurate. I'll notify Command.MeteorI don't see why these scavengers would strike at Republic personnel.Elara DorneIt's puzzling. Our forces are superior in numbers, training and equipment - the scavengers must know that.MeteorI need to know where these scavengers come from, their numbers and armaments.Elara DorneUnknown, sir. Local intelligence felt they weren't worthy of investigation. Armed hostility against Republic personnel clearly justifies an immediate armed response, Lieutenant. It's your call.MeteorDo we have any leads on the scavengers' HQ?Elara DorneOrbital scan has just managed to pinpoint the location of the scavengers' compound. I'll scramble up my team and prep them immediately. We'll effect entry to the compound once you've created an opening.MeteorI'll see you on the other side, Sergeant.Elara DorneGood luck, Lieutenant. Sergeant Dorne out. |
Dialog transcript |
Elara DorneHere they are! Cav, Goran - cover the exit. Vise, Marko, Tabber - see to these men's wounds. |
Dialog transcript |
TaneOh, great. Sergeant Dorne's here to make sure we got stomped according to regulation.Elara DorneReport, Ensign. Did you learn anything about the enemy?TaneUh, yes, sir, Sergeant, sir. As I was just telling the lieutenant here, we were captured for some guy named Needles. And get this: There are Imperials here, on Taris! They're working with this Needles guy in a hidden base out in the swamps.MeteorSounds like you overheard quite a bit.TaneYes, sir, Lieutenant. The scavengers were pretty sloppy about talking in front of us. So, are you excited, Dorne? You'll finally have the chance to correct your old buddies' paperwork again!MeteorThis is no time for jokes, Ensign. Speak plainly.TaneUh, yes, sir, Lieutenant. Sorry, sir.Elara DorneMany of the local troops feel that my adherence to regulations is a result of my upbringing, Lieutenant. I was born Imperial. However, after two years' service in the Imperial military, I defected. Given my extensive knowledge and training, I was awarded this position under Service Code 37-R.MeteorWhat made you change sides?Elara DorneThe Imperials regularly violated their own stated regulations and intentions, without cause. I refused to participate.MeteorI'm not happy that you hid this from me, Sergeant.Elara DorneThe personal details I am required to disclose are clearly designated in Service Code 5, subsection three, Lieutenant. We can discuss non-mission-critical issues later.My team and I will get these men back to base, Lieutenant. You proceed with your mission against Needles and his Imperial installation.MeteorI have the lead I was after. Time to act on it.Elara DorneI'm glad I could help point you in the right direction, sir. Good luck. |
Dialog transcript |
ThorusLooking for Needles, are you? I'm afraid he's long gone, my friend.MeteorLet's see those hands, nice and slow.ThorusDon't worry, I won't give you any trouble. I wouldn't stand a chance fighting you. So, I won't. Instead, let me make a suggestion. I'll tell you everything you need to know about Needles. But in exchange, you have to let me go.MeteorYou seem to know an awful lot about my mission here.ThorusYou're wearing a Havoc Squad insignia and searching Needles's files. It doesn't take a great mind to put the two together.MeteorYou're in no position to bargain.ThorusNo, I'm in no position to fight. I'm in an excellent position to bargain. I have information you need, it's as straightforward as that. You and I are both soldiers, yes? Coincidence makes us enemies, but that's no reason we can't come to an honorable agreement. It's simple. Let me live, and I will tell you everything. Kill me, and you'll learn nothing.Elara DorneCome in, Lieutenant. This is Sergeant Dorne. Do not trust this man - I served with him in the Empire. His name is Thorus.ThorusWhat? Who is that, who are you talking to? Dorne? D- Dorne, is that you?Elara DorneThorus is a mass murderer, Lieutenant. A war criminal.MeteorI'm listening, Sergeant. Go on.Elara DorneMilitary actions against civilian populations are explicitly unlawful, as defined in the Treaty of Coruscant. During my time in Imperial service, Thorus ordered the executions of hundreds of civilian non-combatants and full-scale bombings of unarmed populations. Furthermore, these actions were committed in circumvention of direct orders from Imperial Command.ThorusI am a soldier! I- I do what I must to achieve my objectives! Just like you, Lieutenant.MeteorI don't kill civilians, you Imp scum.ThorusPlease, listen! I'll tell you everything, everything I know! Needles is doing experiments on the rakghouls. He wants to understand their disease, t- to turn it into a weapon. He- he left here a few hours ago. He said he was visiting some "friends" in the ruins of an old transport station, to get more samples.MeteorI'm going to need a lot more detail, here.ThorusR- rakghouls. He needs more t- to continue his research. He won't say who his "friends" are, but they supplied the rakghouls. I've given you what you wanted. Now what about me?MeteorYou'd know better than I would, Sergeant. What should I do here?Elara DorneI respectfully suggest you discharge your weapon into Thorus's skull, Lieutenant.ThorusNo! This isn't fair!MeteorSince you helped me, you're free to go - for now.ThorusI'm glad we could work out an arrangement. Farewell, friend.Elara DorneI'll meet you back at the SAR office, Lieutenant. Dorne out. |
Dialog transcript |
Elara DorneYou spared a war criminal, Lieutenant. That man murdered hundreds of people, and you simply let him walk out of the Imperials' base.MeteorI'll take your opinion under advisement, Sergeant.Elara DorneI'd appreciate it.MeteorLet's move on, shall we? |
Dialog transcript |
Elara DorneLab results confirmed Thorus's account: Needles has almost completed a weaponized strain of rakghoul disease. However, the data makes no mention of Needles's "friends" in the ruins of the transport system.MeteorNeedles probably has another whole outpost loaded with Imps out there.Elara DorneUnlikely. Thorus would've been aware of another Imperial team operating so close by.MeteorFriends of Needles - scary. I can't say I'm looking forward to meeting these people.Aric JorganYou said it. Dorant's as creepy as they come.Elara DorneAvailable intelligence doesn't show any populations in the ruins of the transport system, but scans of the area have been cursory at best. Rakghouls infest the area, making scouting by foot inordinately difficult. However, one traversable route has been located. If the route we've located is the only one available, then the odds are good that you'll find Needles somewhere in the area.MeteorWe'll scout the area ourselves.Elara DorneAny geographical information you can bring back would be very helpful, Lieutenant. I apologize for the lack of intelligence.If the route we've located is the only one available, then the odds are good that you'll find Needles somewhere in the area. This ruined transport station is our only lead to Needles's location. I would encourage you to stock up on supplies and munitions before entering the area. Good luck. |
Dialog transcript |
Elara DorneWelcome back, Lieutenant. Congratulations on the success of your mission.MeteorI couldn't have pulled off this mission without you, Sergeant.Elara DorneI was only following orders, Lieutenant. Your success is consistent with your unit's reputation and operational history - all highly impressive. General Garza attempted to contact you a few moments ago. I took the liberty of briefing her on your mission status. General Garza expressed no concern as I'm sure she's familiar with the temporary clearance authorized by Security Code MR-7-C. The general also asked for a summary of my service record, which I provided.MeteorMuch appreciated.Elara DorneThe general requested that you contact her before departing Taris. The holocom in the next room has been prepared for your use.MeteorI'll contact her right away.Elara DorneCongratulations once again, Lieutenant. |
Dialog transcript |
Elara DorneLieutenant, sir. Is there something else I can do for you?MeteorI want you on my team. Consider this your official invitation to Havoc Squad, Sergeant Dorne.Elara DorneLieutenant, this... this is the greatest honor of my career. I'm speechless.Aric JorganMembership in Havoc Squad is the highest achievement in all of the Republic Armed Forces, Sergeant. Congratulations. But don't get too excited, Sergeant. It's not as impressive as it's made out to be.Elara DorneSergeant Dorne, reporting for duty, Lieutenant! I'll prepare my Regulation 6 Personnel Transfer documents at once!MeteorYou've more than earned this, Sergeant. |
Dialog transcript |
StromFantastic, you're back! Governor Saresh needs to speak to you right away - hold on.Leontyne SareshHow wonderful to see you again! I'm sure you're already noticing the changes your efforts have brought. Rakghoul attacks are down eighty percent in the resettlement zone, and the few we encounter are repelled more easily. Construction crews are back to work - with a bit of arm twisting - and they're developing more ambitious projects. They believe in what we're doing again - thanks to you.MeteorIt's always good to see people fired up about the Republic's work.VoidhoundNow that progress is being made, will the Republic send more resources?Leontyne SareshI'm doing my best to see that they do. But in spite of our success, we still have some serious challenges.Unfortunately, not all of the news is good. Our success has come at a price. The rakghouls we've displaced now threaten our forward expedition teams. We've endangered our most vulnerable projects. The work those teams are doing is critical to reclaiming Taris. If we don't help them, the confidence we've worked so hard to restore could die forever.Rakghoul attacks in the wilderness have reached epidemic proportions. Our expedition teams are in danger of being completely wiped out. The scientists and workers on those teams are critical to our plans to expand across Taris. If they can't finish their work, our entire project will fall apart.Barsen'thorWe won't stand by while innocent lives are at risk.MeteorAren't there security forces to protect these people?Leontyne SareshOf course. And their numbers are dwindling rapidly.Hero of TythonYour people will get the job done - you've got our word.Leontyne SareshI knew I could count on you. Everyone working in that wilderness has lost friends and comrades - they're frightened, and losing hope quickly. I need you to rekindle that hope - to show our people that no enemy is too powerful to overcome.StromThe team leads are at Brejik's Run - it was a top-notch swoop track before the Sith attacked.Leontyne SareshA speeder will take you out once you're ready. When you land, find my agent, Vealo - he'll be your guide. Hundreds of lives and millions of credits were sacrificed to bring us to this point. Do whatever it takes--our project cannot fail. |
Dialog transcript |
VealoYou can't do this, Major! The governor even sent us more help - look!JazenThe governor has sent us plenty of help already. Volunteers, mercs, even Jedi, and they're all dead or working on it. I'm not watching the body count go any higher. We're pulling out - ASAP. You want to help, help us load up for evac.VoidhoundThis work is too important to abandon.JazenThat's not your call to make.Barsen'thorIt's natural to feel afraid, Major. But don't let that blind you to hope.JazenI'm no coward, Jedi. I've got lives to save.MeteorNo need for evac, Major, sir. We can still win this.JazenI'll take your five-second tactical appraisal under advisement while we strike camp, Lieutenant.Hero of TythonDoes Governor Saresh know you're pulling out?JazenShe's not here - we are. If you want to get yourself eaten or turned into a monster, go right ahead. Anything and anyone that isn't packed when we leave is meat. Your choice. My orders are to keep these people safe. If you work a miracle and this place ends up being safe again... we'll see.VealoYou'll have to work quickly to get this place safe and running again before the major's evacuation. Maybe then he'll change his mind. Talk to any of the people here - they'll tell you what needs to be done. I just hope we're not too late.Hero of TythonDo whatever you have to, Vealo--don't let him take these people out of here.VealoI'll see what I can do. Good luck to you. |
Dialog transcript |
StromWe heard the good news!BardoThe governor wishes to....Leontyne SareshThe governor wishes to congratulate you herself. You've done some truly incredible work for Taris - every last person here is in your debt.Hero of TythonWe all have a responsibility to help restore what the Sith have destroyed.Leontyne SareshStill, you've taken on a much greater responsibility than most people could. Very few people could have achieved all of this.MeteorAre there any other problems that need attention, Governor?Leontyne SareshYou've done so much already - but there is always more. I'm certain there will be many more challenges to overcome as we continue our work. But I'm also certain your heroic example will inspire everyone who works to make Taris the brightest point in the Republic. We're all proud to have had you with us. Travel safely. |
Dialog transcript |
Kord MurdokM- Master Jedi! But how... there were no survivors! You... weren't part of the research team, were you? Then I gotta warn you, there's something around here that hunts Jedi. Like the mother of all rakghouls. Now I ain't no coward; I've hunted Sand Demons on Tatooine, fought Sith during the war on Coruscant. Clearing the wildlife on Taris seemed like an easy gig. But these creatures ate a whole team of Jedi for lunch! What are we supposed to do except be dessert?Hero of TythonWho are you? Why are you telling us this?Kord MurdokKord Murdok. Used to lead the Blaster Brothers mercenary company. Now I'm the only one left.Barsen'thorWhat creatures? Something attacked the Jedi?Kord MurdokSomething that makes rakghouls look downright cute and cuddly.MeteorTake it easy.Kord MurdokYou watch a dozen men in heavy armor get eaten like candy and see how calm you are! Should've known when they said the Jedi got wiped out. What am I supposed to do that half a dozen Jedi can't? I don't know if those monsters ate the Jedi and barfed up the Force, but they were using powers like I've never seen.Hero of TythonWe cannot ignore a menace on that scale.Kord MurdokYou think you can do better than the other Jedi? Be my guest. You go after those monsters, just be careful. They're smart, people-smart. And let me know what happens. So I can convince them not to send me back in.... |
Dialog transcript |
Larris CozekkGet out while you can! There's nothing they can pay to make this job worth it! I hope you all have your own ship, or you'll be stuck here like the rest of us. I'm just a hired merc; figure they give us the jobs that are too nasty for the guys in uniform. Like rakghouls aren't bad enough? They need to start breeding in the middle of a blasted nuclear reactor? Makes 'em twice the size and mean.MeteorWho are you?Name's Larris Cozekk. The Republic hired us to clear this wasteland for settlement. What a joke! I went into the rakghoul warren right over that way. With two dozen men! I'm the only one who crawled out alive. They're swimming in radiation. They've mutated into monsters that don't slow down even when you blast their brains onto the wall.Hero of TythonI've yet to meet a beast that can stand up to the Force.Larris CozekkGood. Because a blaster was about as effective as a water gun.Barsen'thorThese creatures must be cleared out.Larris CozekkI couldn't agree more. As long as I'm not the one doing it. If they aren't destroyed down to the last beast, the whole settlement will be a graveyard! Once you're done - if you live, talk to Androclus Methodius there; he's heading up this task force. |
Dialog transcript |
VoidhoundOne of your mercs asked us to clean up some mutant rakghouls he couldn't handle.Androclus MethodiusWell, you certainly don't look like an ordinary group of mercenaries. Master Jedi, I am honored that you would take on such a task. Oh, Lieutenant! I didn't realize Havoc Squad was here. I would certainly have come to you first. I don't know what they're thinking, opening this place to colonization... |
Dialog transcript |
Hero of TythonThe rakghouls are dead.Kord MurdokAnd the other things? The big ones? What were they? You know what, long as they're dead, I don't give a bantha's backside. Let the Jedi figure it out. |
Dialog transcript |
Mola HaxtorThis is not a grooming behavior. That's tool use at the very least.Sadus VraalI know that and you know that, I'm just saying neither the university nor the garrison - nevermind, we have company.Mola HaxtorHi, I'm Mola Haxtor, this is Professor Vraal, we're applied xenozoologists. Could you settle something for us?VoidhoundI'm sorry... "xenozoologist"?Sadus VraalWe study alien life-forms. On Taris, that pretty much means rakghouls.Mola HaxtorCome look at this. We implanted a recording device in a rakghoul and released him. This image is from the footage of his warren. It looks like a new species of rakghoul. Taller, meaner, dominates normal raks, and when it was being recorded, it, uh...Sadus VraalIt reached over and shut the transmitter off.MeteorI didn't think rakghouls were that smart.Mola HaxtorThey may not be, but the evidence is compelling. If he were playing with a switch, he'd flick it on again. He hasn't.Sadus VraalBecause rakghouls barely use tools. They're not sentient. If these ghouls are capable of tool use, our colony defenses need to be changed. But we need the footage off our device to be sure.Mola HaxtorThis is why we need someone - you - to find our rakghoul and extract his recording device. Besides the obvious academic prestige, it is essential that the Republic find out how dangerous this new species is.Barsen'thorWe'll go.Mola HaxtorThank you. Obviously, the footage and your life are top priority. Find the rak, kill the rak, grab the camera.Sadus VraalAnd run.Mola HaxtorBe careful. It's extremely unlikely this species evolved since the bombardment. Either it was under extreme pressure to diverge... or it had help. |
Dialog transcript |
Mola HaxtorYou're back! Let's cue up that footage and see the rakghouls.Mola HaxtorCalm down, Mola. I think some thanks are in order.Mola HaxtorYes, of course. We'd never go into the warrens, even with an escort... this wouldn't have happened without you.MeteorThe swarms were pretty thick in that warren. You'll get something you can use.Mola HaxtorI'm sorry, this is a chance for a doctorate... for a significant contribution to xenozoology and the colonist effort. I got excited.Sadus VraalMola, how about phrasing it like, "Tarisian colonists probably all owe you their lives"?Mola HaxtorYou don't think that's more abstract?Sadus VraalI'll upload the footage. Let's talk after we've looked it over. |
Dialog transcript |
Mola HaxtorThe new species has a lair that looks like an ex-power plant. And it's got - get this - crude, recent construction.Mola HaxtorMola, the fact that they can build a ladder is the least of our worries. Day two, minute eleven - one of the new species pushes away the others in order to get at a food source.Mola HaxtorBut he pushes them without touching them. It's very clear, there is no contact.Sadus VraalThe new species can use the Force.Hero of TythonRakghouls know only aggression and fear. That's a recipe for the dark side.Sadus VraalThat's what we're afraid of. We're no experts in the Force, but this new species seems more psychotic than predatory.There is a widespread theory that the rakghoul plague was an artificial creation of the so-called "dark side." Thus, their evolution deviates from the standard model. But it leaves us with some disturbing possibilities.Barsen'thorThe order will want to know of this... as well as a great many scientists.Sadus VraalWe'll publish our findings soon enough, but right now we have greater concerns.MeteorGlad we didn't find this out during an attack.Sadus VraalThat was the base commander's opinion, too. And we still don't know the most critical information.VoidhoundThere's no other explanation?Sadus VraalWe're sure.Mola HaxtorWe don't know if just one of the new species is Force sensitive, or all of them. If it's all of them, the garrison is considering evacuation.Sadus VraalThis is the largest threat facing Taris. We need eyes in that rakghoul lair!Hero of TythonThis could be easier than you think. An intelligent species might try to communicate.Sadus VraalDon't think I'd take that bet.Mola HaxtorAll right. The lair you want is deep in rakghoul territory. Some of the power plant structure is still recognizable. I'll fit you with a transmitter so we can see what you see. Get close enough to film the creatures - but if one notices you, do what you have to. |

Bay-Yon SiuApproach. I am Bay-Yon Siu, of the Sanej Temple. My body perished long ago. This holocron projects my recorded personality, which we Jedi use to educate future generations.Danah JorHey! You, the one who killed the nekghoul! Open the lock, this holocron is crazy.Bay-Yon SiuCalm yourself. I am incapable of madness. Madness is internal chaos, and there is no chaos, only harmony.VoidhoundWhat did you call the dead thing?Danah JorNekghouls. He named them, not me.Hero of TythonBefore I open that door, maybe you want to tell me who's in there.Bay-Yon SiuHe is the Jedi Knight Danah Jor. He entered the warren. He sought battle, and the nekghouls... reacted.Danah JorOf course I did. Anyone could sense the darkness here. And you, old man, are the source.Bay-Yon SiuDanah misunderstands. The nekghouls became Force sensitive and activated me. I have taught them, but only to help them master themselves. Had he not invaded their territory, my lessons would have sunk in better.Danah JorAll they learned is better ways to kill. You saw it.Bay-Yon SiuThis Jedi Knight, Danah Jor, entered the warren. He sought battle, and the nekghouls... reacted.VoidhoundHow can you justify teaching predators the Force?Bay-Yon SiuHumans are predators, as are Twi'leks, Togruta and other sentients. Nekghouls, also, can choose their path.Danah JorHe keeps saying that, but he's been trying to teach them manners for years. It won't work.Barsen'thorWhy are they keeping him alive?Bay-Yon SiuThe nekghouls are currently drawing power from dark emotions.Danah JorSay it! They tear out colonists' hearts in front of me because they feed on fear and disgust.MeteorSo they've attacked colonists. Then this is no theoretical threat - they're sadistic, premeditated.Bay-Yon SiuSome Sith have done worse before choosing another path. What they do is from ignorance, not hatred. If you lived in a cave all your life, the first time you saw light it would be painful. The darkness would comfort you, and you would only go toward light again when you found the courage. That is how it is with nekghouls.Danah JorThere's hundreds of those things beneath us, by the reactor. He sees them as no threat, but they can't be allowed to live. He wishes you to use that control panel to fire the reactor and lower its shielding. That would bathe them all in radiation. It would be the mass murder of sentient creatures and make this place uninhabitable.Bay-Yon SiuRevenge is not the Jedi way, Danah. Your plan will create ruin and poison.Barsen'thorThe creatures are dangerous, but we would hear both sides.Danah JorThey were born of dark side sorcery. They cannot change.Bay-Yon SiuIt merely requires time, which I have. They cannot harm me. Leave me here with them and seek death no more.Barsen'thorTeach them, then. If they can think and choose, they can learn. Reach them if you can. We will go.Bay-Yon SiuYour trust will not be forgotten. Now free this man.Danah JorI'm free, but they live unpunished. If I can't give justice to their victims, what will I do?Hero of TythonLearn from your mistake. Return to the surface. Then meditate upon the actions that led you here.Barsen'thorReturn to the Jedi. Tell them they can't invade this place like you did.Bay-Yon SiuYes... no one can enter here in hate. They will be fed upon, as you were.Danah JorI... I will do so. Thank you for saving my life.Bay-Yon SiuYou are a remarkable person not to give in to instinct, a lesson these nekghouls must also learn. It may be generations, but what is done with the dark can be undone by the light. One day, they will walk on Taris as humans do.Sadus VraalProfessor Vraal here. We got everything recorded. Good work. We heard the plan. We'll keep watch on the site. Now, clear out of there before something hears all this talking. |

LiefurHow many teeth did you say those things have? Over three thousand? Because I think I feel every one of them.Co'overmaStop complaining; she barely grazed you. Besides, this gave us solid evidence of changes in nexu maternal behavior as a result of- You! What do you know of the plight of the endangered nexu?Hero of TythonDid some sort of creature attack your friend?Co'overmaOh, he's just my assistant.Barsen'thorDo we know you?Co'overmaI am the voice of the voiceless, protector of the nexu, the most beautiful, intelligent, adaptable-LiefurGiant, drooling cat monsters with big pointy spikes....Co'overmaLiberated zoo specimens started a thriving population here on Taris. But the sows are starting to frenzy because their pups are being stolen. Blasted scavengers!VoidhoundYou're crazy.LiefurWhat an incredibly smart thing to say. Why didn't I think of that?Co'overmaYou shut up. We're making a difference here.LiefurYeah. I eat through a tube now. That's different....Hero of TythonWhy would they go after cubs? Are nexu good eating or something?Co'overmaSome unscrupulous piles of dung think it's fun to throw helpless animals into gladiatorial pits so people can laugh while they're cut to pieces.LiefurMost of the time, the nexu win-Co'overmaI'd go after those scavengers myself, but I, uh, lost all feeling in my blaster hand--LiefurTo a nexu love bite.MeteorYou're being a little vague. I don't like it when horribly mauled people are vague with me.Co'overmaGo into the scavengers' camp and destroy the cages they're using to trap nexu. What could be simpler?LiefurNot going into the scavengers' camp and destroying the cages they're using to trap nexu?Barsen'thorWe are here to restore Taris's environment, not destroy it further.Co'overmaThank you. I knew I wasn't alone in wanting to see a thriving nexu colony.LiefurI think they ate outpost five....Co'overmaI have given all my worldly possessions to the cause of animal rights. But Liefur would be happy to pay you.LiefurI would not!Co'overmaAnd I control his accounts while he's convalescing. Just go to the scavengers' camp, to the southeast. Destroy their cages and they won't be able to trap nexu anymore.MeteorCan't say much for nexu, but we're always up for wiping out scavengers.Co'overmaPerfect. I knew I liked you.LiefurShe also likes rancors - it's not a big compliment.Co'overmaThe best thing to do is hit the scavengers' main compound. Destroy all the cages and they can't take another nexu.Barsen'thorHow can it be right to take the lives of sentients in defense of mere beasts?Co'overmaSentients build cities, destroy planets, wipe out entire species. They don't need anyone to stand up for them.LiefurExcept when they're being snacked on by nexu.Co'overmaThese scavengers spend their whole lives tearing helpless babies from their loving mothers-LiefurNexu mothers eat their young.Co'overmaIf you want to help, you could go to the main scavenger camp and destroy the cages they're using to trap nexu. |
Dialog transcript |
Co'overmaWell, did you do it? Did you strike a blow for nexu everywhere?LiefurOddly easier than striking a blow against nexu....Co'overmaTell me how it went.Hero of TythonYour nexu pups are safe. And we took care of the scavengers.Co'overmaAh! Because of your efforts, future generations can enjoy the magnificent sight of a nexu stalking its prey through the Tarisian swamps...LiefurProbably human prey...Co'overmaNexu attacks should drop dramatically now that they're no longer defending their cubs. Thank you.LiefurAny chance of changing our plans to focus on saving the rare Tarisian bark beetle? |

WellerCommander. Commander! Damn! Who are you? What's happened here?VoidhoundThey seem to be... eaten. It looks like rakghouls are what happened here.MeteorI'm Havoc Squad, agent. I was hoping you could tell me what happened.WellerHavoc Squad! Oh, thank goodness. You're the best there is.This whole thing... it's all wrong. This wasn't supposed to happen! How did I get stuck cleaning up the Republic's old messes? These men were here to deactivate bombs that the Republic gave to a Taris street gang three hundred years ago during the Sith occupation. The bombs were meant to empower a revolt - but the Sith killed that idea when they decided to destroy the planet. The holos say they were trying to prevent the Jedi Bastila Shan from escaping. Typical Sith overkill.Hero of TythonAnd the bombs? What happened to the bombs?WellerAs we learned the hard way - the bombs survived. We didn't realize that the bombs withstood the planet's destruction until one of our scientific expeditions was inadvertently blown up. I don't know who I angered, but it fell to me to ensure that the remaining bombs were deactivated. These commandos were my last shot. Please, you've survived out there, you have to help me.MeteorOf course.WellerThank you - you'll be saving lives, not to mention my job. |
Dialog transcript |
WellerThe last of the active bombs just disappeared from the grid. I- I can't thank you enough.Hero of TythonWe're honored.WellerYou've saved countless lives, and for that, I'm grateful. |

Tarkos SundListen here, all you blaster-wielding frontier fighters! Sund Technologies is the best provider of wartime technology the Republic has. Now, I'll tell ya, there are some very violent creatures out there - rakghouls, nexu- I have the injuries to prove it. But when there's work to be done and credits to be made, Sund Tech doesn't rest, and neither should you. What I am offering is a high-paying technological recovery operation that will revolutionize the Republic's work here on Taris.VoidhoundIt's good to be dedicated to your work, but this seems like a strange place to look.Hero of TythonWhat kind of technology are you researching here on Taris?Oh, the usual - the kind that makes me filthy and disgustingly rich. No, no, I'm kidding.VoidhoundTrust me - you'll be lucky if you dig up a rusty can opener in this dump.Tarkos SundRusty can opener? That's a good one. I'll have to remember that one.MeteorThis is no place for civilians.Tarkos SundI'm no ordinary civilian. I'm a businessman, a man of the galaxy. And, if I may say so, a brilliant - and handsome - inventor.Barsen'thorIn other words, you're a profiteer.Tarkos SundLike that's a bad thing? People expect companies to be profitable, but a person who profits is called a profiteer. I happen to know that three hundred years ago some enterprising swoop racers got their hands on a revolutionary engine accelerator. And I thought, here's the Republic struggling to reclaim Taris because of bad conditions and poor transportation - and the solution's right here! All they need is someone to transform that accelerator into the kind of innovative high-efficiency transportation Sund Technologies is known for.MeteorHave you had any luck recovering it?Tarkos SundWell, there has been a little bit of a - minor - setback.Hero of TythonWas it the usefulness or the credits that occurred to you first?Tarkos SundMoney, pah. It's the thrill - can you imagine how fast a speeder would be with that accelerator attached? Problem is the old swoop tracks are crawling with beasts - beasts that nearly chewed my leg off. I'm not going to say I've overreached myself here, but I'm not really the fighting kind. I could use some help finding the accelerator.VoidhoundWill you pay?Tarkos SundOne up-front finder's fee. No royalties. A man's got to turn a profit somewhere. I'll throw in some genuine Sund tech if you like. Just head out to the old tracks and scan the old bikes. If you can clear out the beasts so we can salvage the accelerator when you're done, even better. |
Dialog transcript |
Tarkos SundThere are two things that would really make my day right about now - an Alderaanian brandy, or news that you found the accelerator and cleared the track. One or the other. I'm not picky.VoidhoundThe track's clear, and we found the accelerator.Tarkos SundYou did good work. I appreciate it. Sund Tech appreciates it. The Republic appreciates it. Here you go. Don't spend it all in one place - I hear there's a superfast speeder hitting the market in ten to twelve months. |

BaileyThree... two....FerronDamn it! Shut it off! Shut it off! Everyone okay?BaileyJust a few burns. I'm- ah! I'm sorry, sir. We didn't get anything.Hero of TythonThat looked like a nasty shock. You should see a medic.BaileyYes, thank you. I'll do that, Master Jedi.MeteorBuck up, soldier. Just be glad you're still alive.BaileyI'm okay, sir. No need to worry about me.FerronWe're supposed to get the old city computer systems back online. My team's been soldering hardware for weeks.ImaniProblem is, some of the power systems are still operational. We keep hitting electrical surges, someone's going to get killed.FerronEngineering Team Gamma was supposed to find the generators and set them to emergency mode - but that ain't happening now.VoidhoundGamma can't do the job?ImaniNot without a lot bigger guns than we've been issued.MeteorDon't tell me - the friendly Taris wildlife is causing problems?ImaniThat's what they keep telling us.FerronYou want the Republic to stay on the planet, the reconstruction needs to move forward. Right now it's not. The generators are outside the safe zone. Area's crawling with rakghouls and prowlers. Until someone regulates the power, my team can't do a thing. I'm sure you've got your own problems - but if you can lend a hand, don't be shy. |
Dialog transcript |
FerronHow's it looking, Imani?ImaniPower readings are stable, sir. No reason we can't go in.FerronThe power generators are reset... and it's you we have to thank, am I right?Hero of TythonIt was the least we could do. Your team's taking a risk out here, too.FerronYou got my thanks, at any rate. We should get back to it. We lost time, and there's still a long way to go before systems integrity is restored.ImaniPleasure working with you, sir! |

MeroptaIf you're here from Republic Command, don't worry, we got the message. It's too dangerous. And if you're from the union, same thing. None of my men are working as long as those tremor maws are in the lake.MeteorI don't know what a tremor maw is, but it doesn't sound good.MeroptaSwamp lizards the size of a speeder. We tried to build a pipeline to the lake. You try and get the colonists a little fresh water and what happens? Deaths, dismemberments and your project shut down. Some colonies and survey camps are running out of fresh water, so we were building a pipeline from the north lake down to them. But the machinery attracted tremor maws. One minute we're enjoying the scenery, and the next, screaming and death and the project shut down. We exploded a few demolition charges to scare the maws off, but it just makes them want to fight. Our blasts were more like bait.MeteorThe Republic outpost has soldiers. Can they spare a few to kill these things?MeroptaYou'd think, but they're the ones who told us to wait. They're exploring options. Flying water in, filters, moisture vaporators, it's nonsense. The pipeline's our only long-term bet. Everything else, colonists can't afford. They'll start deserting soon. No money, no colony. It's frustrating because the charges were already laid. You could flush out every tremor maw in that lake if you wanted. What I wouldn't give for someone to just shoot those lizards. It's not like we ever removed the bait.Hero of TythonThis colony won't fail on our watch. We'll let you put down that pipe safely.MeroptaThe demolition charges are in the lake. Set them to go and get way, way back. The blast will be big. Obviously, when you key them in to blow, don't walk - run out of the blast radius. That stuff is construction-grade detonite. Then get ready for the fight of your life. Maws can bite through a gripper crane, let alone humanoids like us. |
Dialog transcript |
MeroptaThe lake team said they heard you at work. Given the size of those blasts, I'm surprised we didn't down here. Any problems detonating those bombs?VoidhoundNo trouble. It's more fun than trying to defuse them.MeroptaI wouldn't know. Sounds like your life is a bit more exciting than mine. But there's good news. I told the Republic the swamp is clear, and they instantly gave the go. No more bureaucratic boondoggle. Now, we'll double-time it until the pipeline is done. Those colonists are going to feel a lot better when they can afford to shower. |

BhoennAh, an intrepid explorer. Good to see there's still folks in the Republic who aren't scared away from our little colony.MyahhTh- they're coming! At the door - the door! We have to get out! Alert the base! Everyone needs to evacuate.MeteorIs the base under attack? What's going on?Barsen'thorWho are you?BhoennThat's Myahh, former first lieutenant of the Endar Rebirth, the first scout vessel sent here to evaluate the possibility of recolonization. Ship disappeared five years ago. Then three days ago, Myahh comes staggering out of one of the collapsed buildings outside the base. He lived out there, no weapons but what he made from salvage, holding his own against the rakghouls, all that time.Hero of TythonWhen pressed beyond endurance, a man can find great reserves within.BhoennThose boys know they're part of the battle to keep the Sith out of our galaxy. They're hard to keep down. Myahh swears there are other survivors trapped in those ruins, tormented by rakghouls. Upper brass, sitting on Ord Mantell, say it's too dangerous to send in a rescue unit, so those boys'll die to spare some others the risk of it.MeteorFive years... those soldiers should not be left to suffer another day.BhoennI was hoping you'd jump on the chance. I'd have been right there with you back when I had no stripes to wear.MeteorAre the brass right, or are they jumping at shadows?BhoennNo, they've got it right. We go in there, we'll lose three men for every one we save. Just beyond the base, thickest part of the city collapsed in on itself. Rakghouls everywhere, tunnels so tight there's nowhere to run. But I say, to deep space with logic! These good Republic boys deserve better! Up for a little adventure?VoidhoundWe'll do it. If it was me, I'd want to know the Republic would come after me.MyahhY- you'll help? They're in the ruins. The city... it's all collapsed. Y- you can't see the ghouls, just the yellow eyes... and the smell....BhoennAnyone you find, bring them here. We'll make sure they finish their days in comfort. |
Dialog transcript |
BhoennMedic! Don't worry. You're safe now. We'll give you something to help you sleep. You did good. Myahh says that's all that's left alive. If it wasn't for you, every one of those men would have turned rakghoul. I wish I could have been there!MeteorSmoking ghoul corpses left and right. Tell those scouts they've earned their retirement.BhoennAh, to be ten years younger....Hero of TythonDo you think those scouts will ever recover?BhoennNot like they used to be, but they'll get the best care we can give.Barsen'thorWe felt their anguish and sought them out in the thick of the rakghoul nests.BhoennWe're... lucky to have you. When those boys wake up, I'll tell them a real Jedi Master thought their lives were worth saving.Soon as those boys pass quarantine, we'll get them to a real hospital. Whatever they need, it's theirs on the Republic's tab. And I'll tell them it's all thanks to you. |

SenaruPlease, kind friends. Please, a moment of your precious time is all I ask. I came here seeking help for my home. A small moon, so rich in life. Now it is all threatened. A chemical freighter crashed, spilled hrucium-5 on the surface. Already our wildlife is suffering, and the hrucium-5 is beginning to spread.Barsen'thorHrucium-5 is highly toxic. If it passes into the atmosphere, you could lose half the plant life on your world.SenaruSo you see, friend Jedi, my need is very great.VoidhoundSorry, We're not scientists.SenaruI understand. But your skills as a warrior are what I need. The flora and fauna of Taris is remarkable. I hoped that, by studying it, I could find a way to adapt our ecosystem artificially. But Taris is so dangerous. Scavengers, hunters... I cannot take the scans I need. Meanwhile, the toxicity back home grows ever greater. Soon it will be too late.Hero of TythonWe want to help out.SenaruI need readings on the local wildlife. For one like you, it will be no trouble, if you are careful. Here - my scanner. When you have the data, take it to Representative Lessah, at the Kanner Outpost. She promised to see it sent to my people. And please, hurry. |
Dialog transcript |
LessahIsn't that Senaru's scanner? Well, well. He got his data after all. I'll see it's sent to his people. This'll look great on my diplomatic resume. I might even get transferred somewhere civilized - I knew helping Senaru would pay off.VoidhoundThat's why you helped him? An entire world is in danger, and you're using it to advance your career?LessahWell, no, I... there's no reason not to find the positive in a bad situation!MeteorDiplomacy means supporting others in their misfortune, not taking advantage of it.LessahI'm not... taking advantage, I.... Here. This is the Republic's stipend for... compassionate environmental assistance. I... it's all yours. Thank you. |

MackYou boys make me sick. Did you think Taris was beaches and pretty girls? Working on your tan? We came here to make credits! But the credits aren't here, are they? They're out there!VoidhoundWhat's the matter?MackThese lazy slugs call themselves "mercenaries," but they seem to have developed an allergic reaction to getting paid. We just gotta take a few scans at the sliding plate so the Republic knows it's safe to rebuild. How hard is that? But no, all the retired soldiers, security officers and bounty hunters in the Republic are no match for readouts on structural damage!Matthew HerralThat place is crawling with those rakghoul things - you saw what happened to Cal.MackYou're really gonna pass up the most lucrative opportunity of your careers on account of some oversized rats?MeteorWe'll take the mission.MackI knew you'd have the guts. But then again, it'd be hard to find another group as weak-kneed as this lot. If these boys can't grow up, they're in the wrong business. But I'm sick of waiting around. If the money on offer is any indication, the Republic needs this data badly, and I ain't leaving empty-handed. And don't let all this talk of rakghouls scare you. They're blaster fodder. |
Dialog transcript |
MackWell what do we have here? Back and with all your limbs? Not frothing at the mouth? Hey, you lazy slugs, pay attention while I hand your pay over to someone more deserving. You did good work. These scans'll be a big boost to the rebuilding effort, and I can finally get these boys back home to their mommas. |

Devon RaceYou're a Jedi! It's- I didn't know anyone else was out here. I'm Devon Race. I've nearly finished my training and have permission from Master Silvarte to be on Taris - exploratory mission to the old Jedi Enclave.Barsen'thorYou look hurt.Devon RaceI'm a little scraped up, but I can keep going. I have a mission. Centuries back, the Jedi had an outpost on Taris. They left shortly before the world burned - I'm here to recover anything left behind. But between the fauna and the looters, I haven't had much luck. We were hoping for holocrons, diaries - Jedi history! In truth, we knew it was a long shot.Hero of TythonLet us join the search.Perhaps. I am a bit... overwhelmed, and we need to find everything we can to help build a future for the order. Master Silvarte warned me that any artifacts left behind would be hidden. Protected. Sealed in ferrocrete pillars or disguised as statues. Our tools are lightsabers and blasters. If you can cut away the outer layers, find anything from the enclave in these ruins... bring it to me. I'd be grateful. |
Dialog transcript |
Devon RaceGood to see you again. Incredible. You actually went through the ruins? Here it is - the history of the Jedi on Taris. Artifacts I don't even recognize. Exactly what we need to rebuild the order.Hero of TythonWonderful.Devon RaceYou don't know what this means. I'll get them back to the Masters unharmed, I swear. Thank you, my friend. Thank you. And may the Force be with you. |

PlennidIf you know what's good for you, don't set foot outside this spaceport. It's practically a war zone. I'm Minister Plennid with the Republic's Diplomatic Corps. I was almost killed out there! The Kintan Kings gang controls this part of Nar Shaddaa. They're violent and well-armed Niktos who hate the Republic. The gang attacked me right out on the street, in full view of everyone. My bodyguards were dead before I knew what was happening.MeteorWhere can we find these killers?PlennidThey're still outside. But I have worse news. The murders aren't the worst of it. My bodyguards all carried Republic passcodes - and now the gangsters have them! With those passcodes, the Kintan Kings can slip right through our security. We'll be defenseless.MeteorDon't worry, we'll get those security passcodes back.PlennidI hope you and your friends scare the scales off those degenerates. When you get the passcodes, deliver them to Ambassador Averdon on the Promenade. |
Dialog transcript |
AverdonThis is a disaster, Bareesh. How can I deal with enemies who don't negotiate?Bareesh Fenn'ak TorillThe Kintan Kings only understand one language, Ambassador.MeteorMinister Plennid sent us. We have your stolen security passcodes.AverdonI couldn't believe our luck when he sent word you were coming. You have my gratitude. I'm Ambassador Averdon. This is Bareesh Fenn'ak Torill, one of the system's most prominent business leaders. Welcome.Bareesh Fenn'ak TorillI am honored to meet such brave defenders of the Republic. Make yourself comfortable. Any friend of the ambassador's is a friend of mine.Barsen'thorWe were starting to wonder if the Republic was all alone here.AverdonFar from it. Bareesh has been a great friend to the Republic in a dark time.MeteorBring us up to speed.AverdonI'm afraid we're at war with the underworld. My mission is to establish strong Republic ties on Nar Shaddaa. We need its technological assets to defend ourselves against the Empire. Nar Shaddaa's leaders sold us an entire sector to use as our base of operations. Unfortunately, it's overrun with Kintan King gangsters. The gang considers us invaders. They've turned our sector into a war zone. The Kintan Kings want us out of their territory - and they're winning. A Jedi who was helping us was found butchered in the open street. Those gangsters did horrible things to him.VoidhoundNar Shaddaa isn't known for its law-abiding citizens. No offense, Hutt.Bareesh Fenn'ak TorillNegative propaganda, I assure you. Most of our citizens are decent people.Hero of TythonYou're sure it was gangsters who killed the Jedi?AverdonYes and no. Reliable information is scarce.Barsen'thorThe Jedi Masters on Tython need to hear about this.AverdonI'm not authorized to contact Tython, but we have done some investigating.VoidhoundIt takes more than a few cheap thugs to kill a Jedi.AverdonThe Jedi was young, but very strong. We believe this gang is indeed unique. We also believe the gang's leader is more than a mere criminal. We're not certain, but there were strange cuts and markings on his body. Almost ritualistic. It's an inconceivable tragedy that such a strong young Jedi could die so easily.Bareesh Fenn'ak TorillWe hear rumors that the gang's leader is a Morgukai.AverdonMorgukai are a Nikto cult - Jedi hunters trained to resist the Force.Barsen'thorWe've been trained to deal with Sith, Ambassador.AverdonI assume the dead Jedi was, too. The gangsters' attack on Minister Plennid was a diversion. Their true goal was hijacking a Republic military freighter carrying cybernetic combat implants.Bareesh Fenn'ak TorillThe implants were my goodwill gesture to the Republic. They are finest-quality technology.AverdonWe don't need Kintan Kings with enhanced speed and strength. When you have the implants, take them to an arms merchant named Nurkolas. He secretly works for Bareesh.Bareesh Fenn'ak TorillNurkolas will provide a fortified base of operations for you. He has many things you will find useful. Now go - bring those Kintan King scum to their knees! Er, for the good of the Republic....AverdonThe hijackers flew the freighter to a "chop shop" to turn the ship into spare parts. They're unloading it as we speak. hatever you plan to do, do it quickly. |
Dialog transcript |
NurkolasWelcome to Nurkolas Arms. If it shoots, stabs, fries or detonates, I stock it. I see you've got Bareesh's combat implants. He'll be a happy Hutt. What are mercenary spacers like you doing for the Republic's top ambassador?MeteorWhen there's fighting to be done, it falls to people like us.NurkolasWe all have our burdens. I'm sure your friends understand what I mean. I'm more the neutral type, myself. But people like you keep people like me in business - and I really appreciate it. One thing's for sure, the Mountain won't be happy when he finds out what you did. That's what they call the Kintan Kings' leader, by the way- "the Mountain." Three guesses why.MeteorHe must be very tall.NurkolasWookiees are tall. The Mountain ducks when clouds pass overhead.VoidhoundGangsters like to sound tougher than they are.NurkolasIn this case, it's no exaggeration. Saw him once. Wish I hadn't. Just figured you'd want to know what you're up against. Only thing the Kintan Kings fear is the Mountain. He's everywhere, all the time.Hero of TythonPeople who rule by fear always have a vulnerable spot.NurkolasJust be careful that you don't trigger an avalanche when you hit the Mountain's weakness. All I know is, the Mountain has a reputation for staying on top of things. Take care you're not one of them. You just made the top of the Mountain's to-kill list. I'm concerned for your well-being.Say... since we're being so cordial and sharing, maybe we can discuss a little side business? Those combat implants are first-rate merchandise. We could score a sweet profit selling a few on the black market.Hero of TythonThat technology is a gift from Bareesh to the Republic.NurkolasI'm not saying we take them all. Besides, Bareesh has other gifts.VoidhoundDo you make a habit of cheating your employer?NurkolasOf course not - that would get me killed. I only profit when opportunity knocks. Fifty-fifty split of the profits, with your share paid in advance, 'cause I'm a generous guy. I'll tell Bareesh the Kintan Kings used some combat implants before you raided them. He'll believe me, long as you don't disagree. What Bareesh doesn't know won't hurt him - and it'll make us richer. Sound good?Barsen'thorI'm not making any deals with you.NurkolasTake it easy. I was only kidding. Hey look - Bareesh is on the holo.... |

NurkolasWe got back all those combat implants, boss.Bareesh Fenn'ak TorillWonderful news. Please leave us, Nurkolas. |

YedduThis sector used to be a good place to live. Quiet. Clean. Safe. My family has lived here for too many generations. Then the swoop gangs took over. They terrorize the shopkeepers. Attack innocent civilians on the streets. Destroy our homes. And they slaughter anyone brave enough to stand up to them, leaving him bleeding in the gutter while they roar off on their swoop bikes.Barsen'thorThey killed someone you cared about, didn't they?YedduMy brother. We ran a little shop together. The swoop gangs demanded we give them protection money. My brother refused to pay the swoop gangs off. He said, "Yeddu, we must take a stand!" They killed him for his defiance. I swore I would avenge him.Barsen'thorYou're not thinking clearly. You seek closure in your brother's death, but throwing your life away is not the answer.YedduYou don't have to worry. I have a plan, but I'm too much of a coward to act on it. I bought some EMP immobilizers from the black market. The blast will fry the circuits of any swoop bike caught in the explosion. The swoops are parked in the streets near the gang's base. But I'm too afraid to go there and plant the immobilizers. What if they see me?Hero of TythonLeave this to us.YedduYou would consider helping me with this? A stranger? I... I don't know what to say. Thank you. Take these EMP immobilizers. Place them near the gang's swoop bikes. When you set them off, the blast will fry all the circuits. We'll see how tough those gangs are when they can't just fly away on their precious swoops! Be careful. With or without the immobilizers, the gang will not be happy to see you. I'll wait here. Come back and see me when you're done. |
Dialog transcript |
VoidhoundThat swoop gang won't be causing any more trouble.YedduI heard what happened - news travels quickly in this sector. They attacked you, but you fought them off! You have avenged my brother and freed us from the tyranny of the swoop gangs! The residents of this sector will have a better future because of you. |

Bareesh Fenn'ak TorillYour attack on those gangster scum reaped unexpected benefits. They revealed a new den of evil to us! We intercepted a holomessage ordering the Kintan Kings to protect their slave market. They're selling kidnapped Republic citizens!Barsen'thorThese criminals are truly depraved.AverdonIt's much worse than you think, Master Jedi.VoidhoundIs the news reliable?AverdonOur people have been disappearing for weeks. I thought they were being murdered, but now we know better. Some of the kidnapping victims are Force-sensitive children who were passing through here on their way to the Jedi. I shudder to think what those criminal scum have in mind for the children.Hero of TythonNothing good, I'm sure.AverdonThe Sith Empire is always looking for new children to train on Korriban. Bareesh believes the gang's slave market is in the ruins of an old casino.Bareesh Fenn'ak TorillIt used to be a very fine establishment. The Kintan Kings do not deserve such splendor!Barsen'thorYour priorities are suspect.Bareesh Fenn'ak TorillWhat have I said to earn your mistrust? I'm deeply concerned for the children.AverdonThere's no need to discuss this further. Please hurry - free our people before it's too late. |

Jatta KuumFinally! Someone who might be able to make a difference. My name's Jatta Kuum - I'm with the Strategic Information Service. You've heard about the various separatist movements, yes? Discontents trying to break away from the Republic? Lately, it's gotten serious. Dozens of possible mini-wars within the Republic.The separatists are growing and becoming more violent every day. Most of their funding comes from right here. A local crime lord - Kata the Hutt. He funnels the credits he makes from illegal pit fighting to Ord Mantell and other hot spots. The separatists use it to plan their next atrocity.MeteorWhy don't you just lock him up?Jatta KuumWith his kind of money, he'd be out in hours. We want something more... permanent.VoidhoundSo what's the plan?Jatta KuumWe take out his pit fighting business, he won't be able to fund the separatists anymore. I tried once before, but things got too hot. Now I'm being watched. That's why I need you. All Kata's important files - contacts, money, everything - are in a vault where he holds the fights. Destroy the vault, destroy the business. It won't be easy. Guards, pit fighters, scum of the galaxy. Those guys won't fight fair.

Jatta KuumThe drones I had watching the warehouse picked up the explosion. You succeeded. You put Kata out of business. That's the important thing. I only wish the same could be said about the separatists. But we've put their operations back by at least a year. I'll use that time to infiltrate their operations, take them down from the inside. Thanks again. |

The Mountain BrothersYou survived the gauntlet, Republic vermin, but now you can see.... There is no escaping the Mountain. Alone, we are deadly. Together, we are death incarnate. Five brothers. Morgukai Jedi-hunters. Kings of the underworld. Your doom.VoidhoundWhy didn't someone tell me the Mountain is five ugly freaks?The Mountain BrothersShadows and mist surround the Mountain. They part only for those about to die. The Mountain fights as one. You will die here, and for what? You throw your life away for nothing. The Republic-loving Hutt has used you. Bareesh was leader of the Kintan Kings until the Mountain drove him out. You and that ignorant ambassador are his pathetic instruments of revenge - and you have failed.Barsen'thorBareesh will answer for his lies, and you will answer for your crimes.The Mountain BrothersYour Force is powerless against us, Jedi. Your death will be slow and painful. When this is over, the Mountain will string your entrails across the whole sector. Brothers! We fight as one! |

Bareesh Fenn'ak TorillExcellent work, my dauntless friends! I will ensure all the Mountain's explosives are recovered from your spaceport and dismantled. I am aware of what those Nikto filth revealed to you. They never found all my surveillance devices after they drove me out. So... you know I was once leader of the Kintan Kings. What will you do with this knowledge?MeteorThe Republic does not form alliances with gangsters, Bareesh. This information must be revealed to Ambassador Averdon.Bareesh Fenn'ak TorillDo not be so hasty to shatter the young diplomat's illusions. What if I were no longer a gangster? I am no traitor to the Republic's cause, I assure you. Damaging my reputation is not in the Republic's best interests.When I lost control of the Kintan Kings and came to the Promenade, I discovered the greatest profits come from legitimate enterprises. I am done with crime. Let me aid the Republic's cause. Your people make excellent business partners - much better than the Empire.Hero of TythonYou're still only motivated by greed, Bareesh.Bareesh Fenn'ak TorillNot completely! There's something satisfying about legitimacy. Do you know how much overhead it takes to run a criminal empire? It's ludicrous.Barsen'thorWhy should we believe you?Bareesh Fenn'ak TorillWithout my help, the Republic's mission will fail. Do you want Nar Shaddaa in the Empire's hands? If Ambassador Averdon learns of my past indiscretions, I fear it will doom our flourishing alliance.MeteorYou can't buy your way to respectability. You have to earn it.Bareesh Fenn'ak TorillBlast you! Have you no sense of the greater good? If the truth must come out, I will be the one to reveal it. Ambassador Averdon and I will see you on the Promenade. |

AverdonThe Kintan Kings are retreating, thanks to you. The Republic's citizens are finally safe. I should be happier, but Bareesh just told me some distressing news.Bareesh Fenn'ak TorillI revealed my shameful past. Are you pleased with yourself? I should kill you for humiliating me! Er... but I am reformed, so I will not.VoidhoundI'm sure you still have plenty of skeletons in your cargo locker.Bareesh Fenn'ak TorillYou speak nonsense while an important alliance hangs by a thread.AverdonNar Shaddaa is critical to the Republic's future, and allies are in short supply. I'll work with you, Bareesh - but I'll keep a close eye on your activities.Bareesh Fenn'ak TorillWonderful! I will never disappoint you.AverdonThank you for everything you did - especially revealing the truth. I hope my decision to trust Bareesh hasn't upset you. The truth is, I still need your help. As you're among the few people I can trust here, would you take on another matter? A local man named Ilox has requested Republic assistance in the Red Light Sector. If you find yourself there, please speak to him. You and I have much to discuss, Bareesh. Farewell, my friends. |

From: Ambassador AverdonSubject: The Republic's relations with BareeshI must thank you again for safeguarding the Republic's interests on Nar Shaddaa from the Kintan Kings gang. I requested additional security forces to the Nikto Sector and am confident we will establish a peaceful base of operations there.Regarding your discovery of Bareesh's criminal past, the Republic has decided to limit its interactions with him until we are more confident he can be trusted. Nar Shaddaa is dangerous enough without "friends" like him. We will see how sincere Bareesh truly is about aiding the Republic. In the meantime, we will be more vigilant about our alliances. |

IloxThe name's Ilox. I'm a freelance private investigator. We need to talk. Looks like you've got the tools and talent to handle big problems. Maybe you can help. Someone from the Republic needs to know what I've stumbled onto, in case I get "disappeared.MeteorI don't understand. Are you in some kind of danger?IloxAlmost always - but this is different. There's bad business going down at Club Ufora. Saw some Republic fleet officers go in, but they never came out. I decided to snoop around. Made it to one of the back rooms. It was full of slave cages.MeteorWho hired you to follow around those Republic fleet officers?IloxNobody. I'm just returning a favor. Republic soldiers rescued me from the Empire when I was a kid. Saved my life. I keep tabs on any Republic military that come here on shore leave. Make sure they don't get in trouble.Hero of TythonThe Republic is lucky to have a friend like you.IloxWish I could do more, but this is out of my league. Club Ufora has major security - way above normal. The guards are boosted with combat adrenals and cybernetic implants. Whatever's happening, it's worth killing to keep secret. Somebody needs to rescue those officers.MeteorNobody puts my people in a cage and gets away with it.IloxGood luck, soldier. I'm betting you can handle those thugs. Besides, you'll have the element of surprise. I've done all I can. The rest is up to you.Hero of TythonYou did the right thing, Ilox. We'll handle this.IloxMay the Force be with you. Heh... always wanted to say that. |
