Within The Works, the two Jedi fought their way through rogue droids | Enemy Droid-MachinesEventCold War (3653BBY - 3642BBY) | and Imperial forces | Core ComplicationsEventCold War (3653BBY - 3642BBY) | in order to venture into the Temple.Deep within the Temple, the duo found the remains of the Jedi Council Chamber, which was guarded by almost a dozen Imperial saboteurs | Imperial Army (Sith Empire)OrganizationReconstituted Sith Empire | . After defeating the surprised Imperials, the duo found Tarnis | Eli Tarnis(Human)CharacterMinor Characters (TOR) | in the chamber itself amidst the tangle of wires, computers, and generators that formed the Planet Prison.Tarnis was in the middle of a holocomm conversation with four other Sith Lords as he informed them that the Planet Prison was almost ready to fire. The oldest of the four, a human male named Darth Angral | Darth Angral(Human)CharacterSupporting Characters | , congratulated Tarnis and called him "son." However, the Knight and Carsen interrupted the conversation at that point, which caused Lord Sadic | Sadic(Human)CharacterMinor Characters (TOR) | - to chide Tarnis about loose ends. Tarnis refused his opponent's request that he surrender before informing the Jedi that the Planet Prison was minutes away from firing. Tarnis drew his red lightsaber at the urging of his father and then charged at the Knight and Carsen while unleashing a storm of violent lightning. The two Jedi and the Sith dueled in front of the holocomm, and Angral was forced to watch as the Knight struck down his son before his very eyes.Angral declared undying hatred for the young Jedi in the minutes after the battle, and he swore to unleash untold devastation upon the galaxy to gain retribution. Lord Praven | Praven(Sith)CharacterMinor Characters (TOR) | promised to kill the Knight personally, while Lord Nefarid | Nefarid(Human)CharacterMinor Characters (TOR) | gloated that they already controlled the Republic's superweapon projects. Furious, Angral gave the Knight a warning to deliver to the Jedi Council | Jedi CouncilOrganizationJedi Order | before he terminated the communication: he had returned, and - unlike Angral's last attack on the Republic during the Sacking of Coruscant | Sacking of CoruscantEventGreat Galactic War (3681BBY - 3653BBY) | - there would be no mercy this time. However, the Planet Prison had not yet completed its startup sequence, and the two Jedi were able to disable and destroy the weapon.Upon returning to General | GeneralMiscellaneousRanks | Suthra | Var Suthra(Mon Calamari)CharacterMinor Characters (TOR) | at the Senate Tower and speaking with Grand Master | Jedi Grand MasterMiscellaneousRanks | Shan | Satele Shan(Human)CharacterMajor Characters | via holocomm, the Knight and Carsen learned from Suthra that Tarnis had sent the stolen superweapon files to his father before dying. Angral had declared war on the Jedi - the Knight in particular - in transmissions across all Republic channels, and since neither Din | Orgus Din(Human)CharacterSupporting Characters | , Kiwiiks | Bela Kiwiiks(Togruta)CharacterMinor Characters (TOR) | , or Galen | Galen(Human)CharacterMinor Characters (TOR) | had reported in, Var Suthra feared that the Republic's weapon projects were in danger. The Empire had declared that Angral was no longer under their protection and that his actions were unsanctioned, but Suthra strongly doubted that the Empire disapproved. Suthra asked the Jedi to go to the planet Ord Mantell | Ord MantellPlanet | , where his agents had traced Tarnis's transmission, and gave the Knight a Defender-class light corvette | Defender-class Light CorvetteStarshipStarship Models | as a personal ship. At Shan's request, the Knight also took on Carsen as an official Padawan and assumed the role of Carsen's teacher in Kiwiiks' absence.The duo reached their new starship at Spaceport Hangar 74 and, after a short conversation with steward droid C2-N2 | C2-N2 (Hero of Tython)(C2-series Droid)CharacterDroids | , departed Coruscant. |
