Dialog transcript Jek KardanStill alive, huh? You really should've gotten out of this while you were ahead, soldier. Now, you're a risk to Tavus and the rest of my people. So, Havoc Squad or not, I'm going to have to kill you.MeteorYou always have a choice, sir.Jek KardanI've made my choice. Tavus, Wraith, Needles, Gearbox, Fuse... they're like my children. And I abandoned them. I resigned and left them to fight alone, just to make a point. They need my help now more than ever. I'm not going to abandon them. Not this time.MeteorIf you want to help your people, you'll help me bring them in alive.Jek KardanWhat, so Garza can have all their heads and be done with it? I don't think so. I know you're trying to get into my head, soldier, but it's not going to work.MeteorI'm just talking, sir - one soldier to another.Jek KardanWhat do we have to talk about? Our objectives are completely at odds. I'm trying to keep my people alive, and it's your mission to kill them. That's all there is to this, soldier.MeteorI served with your people, sir. I don't want to kill them. General Garza sent me to get your help. She wants to bring your people in alive.Jek KardanNot sure if I buy that. But then again, if she sent you to kill me, we wouldn't still be talking, would we? Hmm... you've already compromised the relay. Even if we take you out, it's only a matter of time until Garza has this place slagged for a klick in every direction. And by now, Garza will know exactly where all of the defector bases are. They'll be tethered banthas, cut off from each other and all-Imperial SoldierExcuse me, sir, but shouldn't we be-Jek KardanThe Imperials might offer help, but it won't be much. They'll all be left to die.MeteorTavus and the others will follow your lead. If you come in peacefully, they will, too.Jek KardanDamn... I can't believe it's come to this.Imperial SoldierSir?Jek KardanAll right, soldier. I'll go along with this. But if you harm a single one of my people, you will be dead within the day. Understood?MeteorYou have my word on it, Kardan.Jek KardanLet's get on with this, soldier.Imperial SoldierI can't allow you to go into enemy custody alive, Kardan.Jek KardanAre you still here? The op's over, people. Finished. Mission failed. So get out of here, while you've still got the legs to carry you.Imperial SoldierYou leave me no choice, sir.

Dialog transcript Jek KardanHmph. Reminds me of old times. Here's my weapon - consider me surrendered. I'll make my way up to the Senate tower and turn myself in.

I'm doing this for my people, not for your Republic or anything else.MeteorAnyhow, I'm sure we'll meet again.MeteorI'm glad I had a chance to fight with you, sir.Jek KardanYeah, I guess it was nice to finally stretch my legs out a bit.MeteorThere's a relay down here that needs to be detonated.Jek KardanYeah, I suppose you've got a job to do.

Summary
| "It's not treason when the Republic betrays you first; it's self-preservation." - Jek Kardan to Meteor when they first metJek Kardan was a human male who was one of the leaders of Havoc Squad during the Great Galactic War and the Cold War.After a botched operation on the planet Ando Prime he resigned from the Havoc squad and disappeared. All the years after that fateful mission, he kept in touch with his friend Harron Tavus, who, after the resignation of Kardan, became the new commander of the Havoc squad. Thanks to Tavus, Cardan was well aware of Havoc's mission to Ord Mantell during the Separatist Crisis and the defection of the entire squad to the Empire, with the exception of the newly recruited sergeant.During that time Kardan was on Coruscant, working with the local vigilante group called the Justicars' Brigade. Kardan chose to aid his friends and worked with Imperial infiltrators and the Justicars to reactivate an old Republic transmitter in the Works, enabling all Republic SpecForce defectors to communicate across the galaxy. Kardan's actions, however, did not go unnoticed. General Elin Garza dispatched two last Havoc Squad members - now-Lieutenant Meteor and Sergeant Aric Jorgan - to bring Kardan in. Upon being confronted in the Justicars' operations base, Kardan assumed that the Lieutenant and Jorgan were just grunts and ordered them to stand down. Upon recognizing the Havoc patch, he realized that the Lieutenant was the new recruit from the old Havoc who refused to defect. Instead of fighting the new Havoc, Kardan left for the Works, leaving frustrated Imperial agents to deal with them.However, Havoc Squad managed to fight their way out and pursued Kardan to the comm relay deep in The Works. The Lieutenant attempted to convince Kardan to surrender. Kardan realized that even if he killed them, Garza would only send someone else to destroy the transmitter and hunt down his comrades. The Imperials may offer protection but it won't be much. Thus, he agreed to help bring in his friends, but threatened to kill the Lieutenant if they failed to save one of the defectors. His Imperial escorts, however, refused to let him be taken into enemy custody and attacked, but were killed by the Havoc trio.Kardan later turned up at the Senate building and surrendered in broad daylight. | ||
