Priority Transport OfficerMasters Jedi, Lieutenant, Captain.Such a pleasure. Welcome, welcome. Greetings. You are headed to the capital maybe? Yes? There is a direct shuttle to Coruscant. It is small but comfortable.I was contacted by a group of important people - Jedi Masters Shan and Syo, and General Garza. And Captain, you have two tickets purchased by one named Syreena?Your tickets also give you transport on the Esseles. Very comfortable, very fast. VIP Republic transport. Yes?OperativesGlad to hear it.Priority Transport OfficerExcellent, excellent. Be warned, transport sometimes goes through dangerous space. When you are ready, go through airlock. It will lead you straight to the Esseles. |
Dialog transcript |
Vyn AsaraExcuse me? Yes, could I speak with you for a moment? You're a soldier - Republic Army, right? You're a Jedi, aren't you?. And Captain, some passengers from Ord Mantell mentioned your reputation as a first-rate pilot.I'm sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if you've been contacted by any of the ship's officers.MeteorI have not been contacted by any of the ship's personnel. Is there a situation?Vyn AsaraCaptain? VoidhoundI don't normally do civilian transport, but I could definitely get this hunk of metal to Coruscant faster.Vyn AsaraNo, no. I'm sorry, that isn't quite what I meant. Masters?Hero of TythonI haven't spoken to any members of the crew. But anyone who needs the help of a Jedi will have it.Barsen'thorNo member of the ship's crew has sought me out. Should they have?Vyn AsaraI overheard some passengers talking. You've got quite a reputation. Has the ship's crew spoken to you at all?Barsen'thorI sense great concern. Why don't you tell us what's wrong?Vyn AsaraI heard a rumor that there's an Imperial warship following us. I know, I know- the Treaty of Coruscant. But I don't trust the Empire to keep the peace.It's hard not to be a little afraid - knowing what the Empire was capable of back in the war.VoidhoundHey, there's nothing wrong with looking over your shoulder every once in a while.MeteorThe Imps will always be a threat - no treaty is going to change that.Vyn AsaraIt's good to hear I'm not the only one concerned about the Imperials. I just thought that the ship's crew is more likely to talk to someone like you if there's trouble.MeteorTelling the passengers that Imperials are nearby would only cause a panic.Vyn AsaraI suppose. Still, I think it's unsettling to think that there might be Imperials behind us.IntercomWarning! Warning! Incoming fire! All hands, brace for incoming! Repeat, all hands- |
Dialog transcript |
Vyn AsaraCan you hear me? Are you alright? Good, good. That was quite a hit, we're lucky not to be hurt.MeteorThe Imperials seem to have forgotten about the treaty....Vyn AsaraI knew the treaty would break eventually, but I didn't think I'd actually be here to see it.Listen- you have to get to the bridge. The captain will need all of the help he can get right now- go, hurry!MeteorLet's just hope it's not too late to help. We should head for the bridge and see if there's any way we can lend a hand.Vyn AsaraIt's never too late to try. With your skills, I'm sure you could make a difference. Good luck. |
Dialog transcript |
First Officer HakenCome on, Tyrus! You can make it, sir, you can make it!Navigator PlexHe's gone, sir. You're in charge now - what are our orders?First Officer HakenYour orders? Our weapons are out, shields are out, comms are out! There's nothing we can do!Barsen'thorThe path may not always be clear, but that doesn't mean there is no path.First Officer HakenWhy is this Jedi standing on our bridge spouting nonsense? We're in a situation here! If you want to be useful, Jedi, then get out of here and stop interrupting us!VoidhoundIt sounds like you guys could use a captain with some experience.First Officer HakenWho is this? Who do you think you are? Get out!MeteorGive us a sitrep, people - what have we got?First Officer HakenIs your hearing bad, soldier? Because I'm pretty sure I just went over that. We're in the middle of a situation here, the bridge is off-limits.Navigator PlexSir, we need all the help we can get. If we don't keep it together here, we're finished.First Officer HakenKeep what together? The Imperials have us by the throat! We're as good as dead already.MeteorWhat's wrong with you? Are you really going to let your ship fall to the Imperials so easily?First Officer HakenThat ship behind us is one of the biggest in the Imperial fleet. We didn't stand a chance. I just can't believe this is happening.VoidhoundAre the engines still working? Is there any chance we could run?Navigator PlexThe engines are operational, but we're caught in a tractor beam. Impossible to run for it.Communication Officer RasteSir! Incoming message - the Imperial ship is hailing us!First Officer HakenWhat? Oh. Well, put them on.Grand Moff KilranRepublic transport Esseles, this is Grand Moff Rycus Kilran. Your defenses are entirely disabled. Attempt no resistance.VoidhoundWe're aware of our situation, Kilran. Just tell us why you're here.Grand Moff KilranCome, now. I think it's obvious I'm not here for friendly diplomacy. Your ship is transporting a known anti-Imperial terrorist and seditionist: the so-called "Ambassador" Vyn Asara. I've come to collect her.First Officer HakenWho? We didn't take on any passengers by that name. I've never even heard of this person!Grand Moff KilranInteresting. Lying or incompetent? No matter. My agents aboard your ship have confirmed the ambassador is there.MeteorWhat are you going to do about it, Kilran? You can't force us to hand this person over.Grand Moff KilranI'm fairly confident that I can. Imperial soldiers are preparing to board your ship through its primary air lock. My agents will ensure that you do not interfere with them.If you attempt to stop my men from arresting Ambassador Asara, I will have every living thing aboard the Esseles killed.Hero of TythonWhere is the primary air lock? We'll stop the Imperials as they try to board.Navigator PlexWeren't you listening? If we try to fight, they'll slaughter us! We have to cooperate!Let's not panic. We just figure out who this ambassador is and hand her over. No problem.First Officer HakenIt won't matter. Kilran has us, now. He'll kill us all - he's famous for it. The only one he wants alive is the ambassador.If Kilran gets the ambassador while we're sitting in his sights, we're goners. Those soldiers have to be stopped before they can succeed.Barsen'thorWe'll show these Imperials the error of their ways.First Officer HakenIt's very brave of you to volunteer. Listen- I'm sorry I lost it earlier. It means a lot to have your help right now. Thank you. I'm sure you're up to anything the Imps can throw at us.I'll have our security team meet you by the primary air lock. They haven't seen much action, but Commander Narlock knows his stuff. Good luck. We're all counting on you. |
Dialog transcript |
Commander NarlockThis is it, men. This is what you've been training for. The Imperials are coming, and we're not going to let them past, are we?Security Team Member 1Sir, no, sir!Commander NarlockWe won't be fighting alone! We have some very experienced volunteers - the Imps will never know what hit them!Hero of TythonMy lightsaber is at your service, Commander.Commander NarlockDo you hear that, men? Our friend here is going to chop through these Imps like nothing!Barsen'thorThe Force will guide us to victory.Commander NarlockThe Force will be with us, men! We'll be unstoppable!VoidhoundHope you're ready to see a real professional at work.Commander NarlockA professional! We've got nothing to worry about, men - we can't lose!MeteorHavoc Squad, reporting for duty!Commander NarlockHavoc Squad! The best in the Republic, and they're fighting by your side, men. We can't fail! We won't!The Imps will cut through any second now - we need to take up defensive positions. Move up, men! Get ready! |
Dialog transcript |
Commander NarlockHah! Victory! We've done it, men, we've done it! The ship is saved!Vyn AsaraI'm sorry, Commander, but that... that isn't the case.MeteorWe defeated the entire boarding party - nobody could've slipped past us.Vyn AsaraNo, you're right - it's not you the Imperials slipped past.VoidhoundYou're Ambassador Asara? That Imperial said that you're the one they were sent to capture.Vyn AsaraListen, that's not important right now - we have a serious problem. First Officer Haken walked us right into a trap. The attack on this air lock was a ruse.After Haken sent you here, Imperial commandos snuck aboard, they were led by a Mandalorian mercenary called "Ironfist." The Mandalorians work for the Empire - they're some of the best warriors in the galaxy. And Ironfist is one of the most famous. It gets worse, I'm afraid. Ironfist and his Imperial commandos stormed the bridge, and now the entire area is locked down tight. That's why I rushed to find you. We have to do something - we have to act fast.VoidhoudHow did you learn about all of this?Vyn AsaraI watched the whole thing happen on the security cams.Commander NarlockLook, what is this all about? Why are the Imperials so desperate to capture you?Vyn AsaraBecause of my work. I'm a Republic ambassador. I travel to Imperial-controlled planets and convince their governments to come over to our side.Barsen'thorTurning potential enemies into friends spares us unnecessary conflicts.Vyn AsaraNot all battles can be avoided, but diplomacy can gain us so much more than fighting.VoidhoundTalk about running dangerous cargo. Who gets you in and out of these places?Vyn AsaraI slip in on passenger ships like this one and blend in. But we can talk about my work later.Commander NarlockWe need to retake the bridge. The longer we leave the Imperials in control, the harder it will be to remove them.Vyn AsaraI already told you, Ironfist has the bridge locked down. There's no way in or out.Commander NarlockA security lockdown... that is bad. Chief Engineer Salen might know of a workaround.MeteorHopefully we can get to Salen before the Imperials. Do you know where he is?Dol NarlockHe and his team will be down in the engineering section. I'm sure they'll be able to help us.Vyn AsaraWe'll need a diversion. If the Imperials notice the hatches to engineering opening, they'll flood the area with soldiers.Dol NarlockMy men and I can handle that. Form up, men! We're going to go start some trouble!MeteorLet's get that bridge open!Dol NarlockWe'll give those Imps something to think about, won't we, boys?Vyn AsaraIt's a lot to ask of you, I know. But we have to get the bridge open. I'll go along with Commander Narlock. Once you've cleared a path to engineering, I'll double-back and join up with you there. Good luck. |
Dialog transcript |
VeppHey! Hey, Chief, come here! Look, there's someone out there, on the other side of the door!SalenYou must be crazy, coming all the way down here with the Imps everywhere.MeteorCommander Narlock said that you might know of a way to unlock the bridge. The Imperials have it sealed off.SalenThe Imps pulled the lockdown? You've got to be kidding me.Vyn AsaraYou really cleared this place out. I didn't run into a single Imperial on my way down here. Listen- there's no time to waste. Commander Narlock and his men are being overrun - we have to get the bridge unlocked now.SalenSo I've heard. I'd invite you in, but the lockdown has our doors sealed, too.Hero of TythonAre you going to be safe in there? Do you need help getting out?SalenGetting the bridge back in our control is much more important. Now let's see...VeppWhat about a reactor reset? That would disengage the security locks, wouldn't it, sir?SalenYeah, but a reactor reset vents the engineering compartment - we'd be blown into space. Besides, controls are on the other side of the door.VoidhoundWhat else could we do to open up the bridge?SalenThe secondary conduits. They're spread around a bit, but if you shut them all down, the security will go down, too. Then we'll be in business.MeteorWe'll get the conduits shut down right away.Vyn AsaraThere's no time to go running all over the ship. If we don't act now, the Imperials will overwhelm us. I'm sorry, Salen. We need to unlock the bridge while we have the chance. We have to reset the reactor. You and your men will be remembered.Barsen'thorWe can't send these people to their deaths! Not when there's an alternative!Vyn AsaraFine. But you're dooming everyone on this ship. Sometimes, sacrifices have to be made for the greater good.Hero of TythonWe're trying to save the people on this ship, not kill them.Vyn AsaraFine. Who am I to argue?SalenCrazy witch! Shutting down the secondary conduits will work, I promise.Vyn AsaraIf you're going to do it, go now. The longer you wait, the more Imperials you'll have after you. |
Dialog transcript |
Vyn AsaraI don't know how you managed it, but you did. The security doors around the bridge have opened.MeteorThe bridge is open, and no innocent lives had to be sacrificed to do it.Vyn AsaraYou were right- I'm sorry. Please understand, I didn't want to kill anyone, I just... it seemed like the only way to be sure.I'll go and help Narlock with another diversion. So you have as little resistance as possible when you attack the bridge.You'll still have to deal with Ironfist, though. And that's no small challenge.VoidhoundWhat do you know about Ironfist?Vyn AsaraI only know Ironfist by reputation, but he's been doing Grand Moff Kilran's dirty work for a long time now.He's never been captured, defeated or even driven back. You have your work cut out for you.MeteorThey didn't just train me to do the easy jobs, ma'am.VoidhoundSo if Ironfist goes down, I become famous. Works for me.Vyn AsaraI'm not sure if fame should be the first thing on your mind at a time like this.Just be careful. Mandalorians always have a few tricks up their sleeves.All right, no more time to waste. Narlock, are you there? Can you hear me?Dol NarlockCopy, this is Narlock! Set for second offensive?Vyn AsaraThat's right, Commander. I'm on my way to join you now. |
Dialog transcript |
IronfistWell, well. I was wondering when you'd finally show up. This is it? There aren't more of you?Hero of TythonJust give up, Ironfist. We don't want to have to hurt you or your men.IronfistStrange view of the situation. Guess you'd have to be a little crazy to put up the fight you have. Just give me a decent fight for once, will you?Let's vape this worthless scum and get back to work. |
Dialog transcript |
Vyn AsaraFirst Officer Haken, do you have any spare shuttles in the hangar bay?HakenSpare shuttles? Yes, we do, but I don't-Vyn AsaraThen that's our only chance. You have to board Grand Moff Kilran's ship and disable the tractor beam so that we can all escape.MeteorWhy not? We've been fighting insane odds all along. No sense stopping now.VoidhoundI'm in. A bit of fancy flying followed by some daring heroics? You've come to the right person.Vyn AsaraI knew we could count on you.I've been aboard warships like Kilran's. The tractor beam controls should be easy to find, if you know where you're going.HakenAmbassador, you're familiar with the layout, perhaps you should go along to help get the tractor beam shut down.Vyn AsaraHmm. We need every advantage we can get.MeteorSounds like a plan. It will be good to have you along, Ambassador.Vyn AsaraI'll do my best to help in any way I can.Dol NarlockAmbassador, before you go - take a spare uniform. We wouldn't want any Imperials to recognize you.Vyn AsaraGood thinking, Commander - thank you. Now let's get moving.HakenGood luck out there. We're all counting on you. |
Dialog transcript |
HakenHey! Hold up a minute. I need to talk to you before you go.I just talked to Salen from engineering. He told me what Asara tried to make you do down there. Thank you for stopping her.MeteorShe was just doing what she thought she had to do to save the ship.HakenAnd she would've killed a lot of good people if you hadn't stopped her. Thank you.Listen, I've been thinking. I really believe this plan is going to work. But there's only one way to guarantee that we all make it home safe. And that's to make sure the Imperials have no reason to keep chasing us.MeteorWhat are you suggesting, Haken?VoidhoundYou want us to hand the ambassador over to the Imperials, don't you?HakenYes. For the sake of us all, I want you to leave Asara behind on the Grand Moff's ship. With the tractor beam down, we'll be able to escape. But Kilran will just chase us down again - unless he's already captured his target.Asara is the reason for all of this. If you're serious about doing whatever it takes to save this ship, then you'll make sure she doesn't come back with you.Hero of TythonWe didn't sacrifice the engineers to get us out of this. We won't sacrifice Asara, either. Don't let your anger at the ambassador cloud your judgment.HakenMy judgement isn't clouded. This is what has to be done, I'm sure of it.MeteorAmbassador Asara is a Republic official. It's our duty to protect her.HakenIt's going to be dangerous over there. If Asara didn't make it, nobody would even think twice about it.VoidhoundIs this really what's best for the ship? Or are you just looking for a bit of payback?HakenMaybe. Doesn't change the fact that leaving her behind will save the rest of us. Just think about it. I'd even make it worth your while if things go the way I'm suggesting. |
Dialog transcript |
HakenEveryone's aboard, Plex! Get us out of here, now! We're safe! You did it - you did what no one else could have done. You've saved us all. We owe you our lives... every one of us. So, on behalf of the passengers and crew of the Republic transport Esseles, thank you.MeteorYou're welcome. It's been an honor to help and protect you all.HakenIf you hadn't been here, we'd all have been doomed. We can't thank you enough. I took up a collection from everyone on the ship - hopefully, these credits will help you save other people in need, the same way you've saved us.Hero of TythonPlease - keep your credits. I'm sure you all need them more than we.HakenThat's extremely gracious of you. Thank you very much.Ambassador Asara, it's... it's a relief to see that you made it back to us safely as well.Vyn AsaraReally? I imagine it comes as a bit of a surprise to see me here at all, Haken.HakenI- I don't know what you mean. Of course I'm glad to see you. Why would you think differently?VoidhoundYou offered us a reward to leave her on the Grand Moff's ship, Haken.HakenYou must have misunderstood me. I would never... I wouldn't do something like that.Vyn AsaraThank you for telling me the truth and for everything else you've done here. The Republic needs heroes like you now more than ever.I should warn you, though. Grand Moff Kilran is never going to forget what we've done. He'll stop at nothing to get his revenge.Barsen'thorThanks for the warning. Sounds like we'd better keep our guard up from now on.Vyn AsaraThat would be wise. There's nothing Kilran isn't capable of.Anyway, enough of that. I'd say it's about time we all relaxed a bit and enjoyed the rest of our trip. Thanks again - and good luck in the future. |
Dialog transcript |
Rycus KilranWell. I've seen some incredible things in my time, but you've just topped the list. I'm sorry I couldn't greet you in person - if only you had let me know you were stopping by.VoidhoundIf this is a bad time, we could come back later.Rycus KilranOh, no. Not at all. I assure you, I'm quite prepared for your visit. My men will be along shortly to escort you to the accommodations I've arranged.Hero of TythonYour men can't stop us, Kilran.Rycus KilranYou greatly overestimate your chances. Ironfist wasn't the only weapon in my arsenal - nor the deadliest.See you soon. |
Dialog transcript |
VokkA soldier? What a waste. No soldier can match the power of a Sith. Kilran promised me a challenge, and this is what I get?Ah! A Jedi! Much better. How I've looked forward to this. A true Sith cannot go long without a true challenge.VoidhoundIf it's my friends you want, I'll just go on about my business.Hero of TythonWe won't fight you if you don't make us.VokkPitiful words, don't waste your final breaths with them.VoidhoundWe're more than enough trouble for you, pal.VokkYou are nothing. None of you will leave here alive. Death will never come for me. I am death. When I carve your heart from your chest, your fellow Jedi will sense your defeat. As will my master.MeteorAnd will your master feel it when I put a blaster shot right between your eyes?Barsen'thorYou don't have to continue down the dark path. You can still embrace peace.VokkPeace is a lie. There is only passion. And through passion, I gain strength. Pitiful scum like you cannot grasp the full nature of the Sith. The power of the dark side is infinite... are you ready to face oblivion?VoidhoundAre you ready to fight, or are you going to spout gibberish all day?VokkYou're right - words are nothing without action! I am Sith! Die! |
Dialog transcript |
Vyn AsaraCome on! Get onto the shuttles, we have to hurry! If we launch fast enough, I think we can make it. Are you ready?MeteorWe need to talk, Asara. First Officer Haken doesn't want you to come back from this one, Ambassador. He thinks you'll just cause more trouble.Vyn AsaraIs this a joke? That spineless, indecisive... he wants you to hand me over to the Imperials? Unbelievable. After everything I've done to save this ship. Everything I've done for the Republic. That scum tries to betray me to the Empire.Wait. You didn't actually agree to leave me behind, did you?Barsen'thorWe wouldn't leave you behind to die, Asara.Vyn AsaraGood. I was about to... well, it doesn't matter. Come on, we've wasted too much time here already. Let's go! |
Dialog transcript |
Anitol RossparI was hoping to meet just one of you. This must be what the saying "an embarrassment of riches" means. Considering your recent accomplishments, I shouldn't be surprised to find you traveling together. Greatness attracts greatness.Hero of TythonI can't speak for my friends, but I'm just another Jedi here on business.Anitol RossparDon't be so humble. You stopped an attack on Tython's Jedi Temple - as a Padawan. People in high places are talking.Barsen'thorWhat is your interest in us? Clearly, our reputations precede us. My questions are, how... and why do you care?Anitol RossparStopping a threat like Nalen Raloch attracts attention. Your names are known in the right circles.MeteorMy missions are classified. I don't know what you're talking about. Even if I did, I couldn't discuss it with a civilian.Anitol RossparNot trying to violate your security clearance, Lieutenant. I'll just thank you for exposing the traitors on Ord Mantell.VoidhoundWow, I'm already famous. Didn't realize my exploits were public knowledge. You looking for an autograph?Anitol RossparNot exactly, but I am a fan. You stormed a separatist base on Ord Mantell and came back without a scratch. Impressive.MeteorAnd unwelcome attention. Greatness also attracts annoying people who want things.Anitol RossparSad, but true. Rest assured, I'm not here to waste your time.I represent Vanara Kayl, Senator of Coruscant. She not only speaks for our capital world in the Galactic Senate, but oversees this planet's government.Senator Kayl leads the effort to rebuild what was destroyed during the Sith Empire's invasion. Healing those old wounds has been slow and painful.Hero of TythonThe war's been over a long time. It's hard to believe we're still recovering.Anitol RossparSome wounds run deeper than others.VoidhoundAre you requesting donations? You're here collecting credits for the reconstruction, is that it?Anitol RossparA person of your skills can provide more substantial aid.This world faces many crises: a shattered infrastructure, a booming refugee population... whole sectors descending into anarchy. All of these hinder the rebuilding.Senator Kayl believes you're specially qualified to deal with a dangerous and urgent threat. She'd appreciate the favor of a meeting - immediately.Hero of TythonThe Senator needs to clear this with Master Orgus Din. If he agrees, I'll meet her.Anitol RossparThere's no time for standard diplomatic channels. Senator Kayl will explain everything.Barsen'thorA great Jedi has fallen ill. She is my priority.Anitol RossparKeep an open mind. What's good for Senator Kayl is good for Master Yuon as well.MeteorI'm here on urgent business. I don't have time for political games.Anitol RossparThis is no game, Lieutenant - but I'm not authorized to reveal more. You understand.VoidhoundSenator, huh? My time isn't cheap.Anitol RossparArrangements will be made to ensure you feel properly compensated.Senator Kayl is the greatest leader we've had in decades. She'll not only rebuild this world, but the rest of the Republic with it.Speak to Minister Imogh at the Senate tower. Tell him you're expected. Good luck - and welcome to Coruscant. |
Dialog transcript |
ImoghAh, at last! One moment, please... Senator? Your special appointment has arrived.Vanara KaylThank you for coming on short notice. I'm Senator Vanara Kayl. Forgive my abruptness, but time is a luxury I don't possess. As you may have heard, Coruscant is overwhelmed with refugees fleeing Imperial tyranny. Many have been here since the war.The refugees took over the old Galactic Market sector, huddling in shops and warehouses that were abandoned during the Sacking of Coruscant. They refuse to leave.Hero of TythonIs the Republic doing anything to provide for these refugees?Vanara KaylResources are scarce. There's only so much we can do. We've offered to resettle them offworld, but they're demanding to remain here.As so often happens when fear and poverty dominate, a criminal element has risen to take advantage of the situation. The Migrant Merchants' Guild began as a political advocacy group for refugees. Over the years, it transformed into a ruthless and murderous criminal syndicate.Barsen'thorAs if these people didn't have enough problems, now they're being controlled by gangsters.Vanara KaylThese criminals exploit the very people their guild allegedly protects. They rule through intimidation and extortion.MeteorDo the gangsters have a power structure? A leader?Vanara KaylIt's a consortium of powerful crime lords. When one falls, another takes his place. It makes them difficult to defeat.The Migrant Merchants' Guild has grown increasingly hostile and violent. Their criminal enforcers have acquired military-grade weaponry.Earlier today, their thugs took to the streets. They attacked our security personnel, set fires, began rioting. We're facing an armed insurrection.MeteorSounds like Ord Mantell. You just described the last enemy I fought.Vanara KaylI need your expertise, Lieutenant. We can't rule out the possibility of Imperial influence.VoidhoundHave these gangsters made any demands?Vanara KaylThey only seem intent on destruction.For generations, the old Galactic Market was Coruscant's central trade hub. Its importance isn't merely economic - it's a symbol of the Republic's freedom. The comm channels are jammed. We've lost contact with our security forces. I need your help ending this crisis. The criminals must not win.VoidhoundYour forces are probably dead. If the situation's as bad as you say, your people didn't survive.Vanara KaylThere's still hope. If my security forces were dead, those gangsters couldn't resist letting me know.Do whatever you must to save innocent lives from that criminal filth. Find my security chief, Captain Winborn. He'll help. Good luck. |
Dialog transcript |
WinbornCut power to the whole blasted planet if you have to! We can't let those crazies take over the network!MeteorCaptain Winborn? Senator Kayl said you need backup. What's the situation? Captain Winborn? Senator Kayl said you need backup. What's the situation?WinbornWe're getting cut to pieces down here. We're not trained to fight an army of killers. These gangsters are smart - organized. Clearly trained offworld. They'll kill thousands. Might even destroy the Senate tower.MeteorPull your men back, Captain. Let us handle the criminals.WinbornIt's not that simple. They came here with a plan.Hero of TythonThe Senate tower is nowhere near this sector.WinbornThe scum found themselves a way around that little detail.The gangsters brought slicers to access every network node in the sector. They're trying to take over the automated speeder flight paths. They'll cause thousands of mid-air collisions. It'll rain debris on the Senate tower like a meteor storm. No telling how many will die.Barsen'thorGangsters need a motive. They're criminals, not terrorists. They wouldn't do this unless they stood to gain something.WinbornLet's ask them - after we crush their army.Hero of TythonSend a man to warn the Senators. They need to find shelter.WinbornI sent word right before you got here, but there isn't enough time to save everyone. We have to stop this here.The gangsters have armed patrols guarding the network access points. We need to push them back and manually lock down the terminals.Get enough terminals, and we might just pull this off. My men will back you up. Good luck in there. |
Dialog transcript |
WinbornMy men can't believe you took on all those gangsters--and lived. You're a blasted hero, you know that?With the network terminals locked down, the speeder traffic is secure. Now all that's left is pushing out those gangsters for good.MeteorThere was some kind of encrypted message on the network. Looks like a recording.WinbornLet me see that... hmm... it's an old Migrant Merchants' Guild code. Think I can decrypt it.... Here we go.Prakath (RECORDING)You accepted our friendship, Senator Kayl--and credits. It's time you paid us back. All we want are the housing projects you promised our people. Now.Vanara Kayl (RECORDING)Your people will have to wait their turn like everyone else. I owe you nothing. If you continue pushing me, I'll destroy you all.VoidhoundSenator Kayl and the Migrant Merchants' Guild are at war? That's what this was all about?Barsen'thorI can't believe Senator Kayl would deal with gangsters. Could that message be forged?WinbornThe call was placed directly to her office.VoidhoundShould've known Senator Kayl was too good to be true. She's an even bigger crook than I thought.WinbornDoesn't make sense. There's gotta be an explanation.Vanara Kayl (RECORDING)Your extortion attempt has failed. My people are pushing back your little army as we speak. It's over.Prakath (RECORDING)Nobody breaks a deal with us, Senator. We'll have what we want, one way or another.WinbornThis is way above my pay grade. I'm not destroying the reputation of Coruscant's most popular politician. Take the recording. I don't want it.Hero of TythonWhen you wear that uniform, you're upholding the Republic's ideals: freedom, integrity and honesty.WinbornThere's nobody more qualified to handle this than you, Jedi. I know you'll find the truth.VoidhoundA security captain who gives away evidence to complete strangers? How did you get this job?WinbornI follow my conscience. Whatever's happening, there's a reasonable explanation.Senator Kayl has done great things for Coruscant. She's a good woman. Give her a chance. My men and I will stay down here. You should go back to the Senate tower. |
Dialog transcript |
ImoghHow lovely to see you again. Any friend of Senator Kayl's is a friend of mine.Vanara KaylThat will be all, Minister. Dismissed.Captain Winborn contacted me. You thwarted an attack that would've killed thousands. You have my gratitude. Unfortunately, you also have a holorecording I would like destroyed. Its contents will only cause harm.MeteorYou've been lying to everyone, Senator. The only reason those gangsters attacked us was to get at you.Vanara KaylI understand your anger, Lieutenant. But you need to understand - things here are complicated.Many choices only appear foolish in retrospect. At the time, it felt like the right thing to do.My opponent in the elections was a vile man: lazy, stupid and corrupt. He wasn't interested in building, only taking. I had to win. But I didn't possess as much wealth as he did. When those gangsters approached me, I accepted their "donation"- and I'd do it again.MeteorDo you hear yourself? After everything that's happened, you still won't admit to being wrong.I'm not wrong. If you'd witnessed the suffering on this world - the poverty and despair - you'd know that.Don't be naive. Wealth can purchase influence - and influence sways popular opinion. My opponent understood that too well. I stole from those criminals to rebuild Coruscant for its people. Set things right. I'll bring the Migrant Merchants' Guild to justice.You hold the power to ensure my success. Let me finish healing this world. Please destroy that recording.Barsen'thorIf you really love the people of Coruscant, you'll admit what you've done. Let them decide whether or not to forgive you.Vanara KaylYou think I'm dishonest? I'm just a realist - but there's no point arguing it with you. I won't force you to go public. I'll call an emergency meeting in the Senate. Tell them the truth. Let them decide.MeteorCoruscant will be rebuilt, with or without you. We promise to help finish what you've started.Vanara KaylPerhaps you should run for office. I'll see to it you're properly recognized for your heroism in the old Galactic Market.Farewell. |

HeerimusI greet you on behalf of the great and noble Senator Doli-bur Barc. I have the honor of being his senior page.The Senator sent me as his representative, though he'd prefer to be here himself. He loves to walk among his peopleVoidhoundIf your Senator wanted to be here, he'd be here.HeerimusOh, he does. He stopped here on his way to the spaceport last year. He even waved at some of his admirers.Today, the Senator sent me to find brave and loyal citizens to help with a security crisis. It involves his work to restore the Republic to glory by re-establishing our technological superiority.Hero of TythonWe should strive for balance, not domination.HeerimusExactly, and Senator Barc's bold vision is to see the balance returned.MeteorThat's all very nice, but what's the crisis?HeerimusI was just getting to that.Recently, the Senator arranged to acquire a shipment of computer chips - advanced hardware that could create whole new industries for the Republic.Unfortunately, the shipment was hijacked by the Migrant Merchants' Guild. Now, Republic security is afraid to take on the guild's thugs.VoidhoundYou're looking for outside help?HeerimusExactly. The Senator says this issue is really over security's head anyways.Recovering the shipment of chips from the guild would be a great service to Senator Barc and the Republic.VoidhoundIs Senator Barc paying for this?HeerimusYes, of course, your fee. In his generosity, the Senator has promised to personally reward anyone who helps.To find out where the guild has hidden the Senator's shipment, you'll have to speak with Security Captain Denal-zon - he ran the investigation. Then return the shipment to Senator Barc's office in the Senate tower. I'm sure he'll want to thank you personally. |
Dialog transcript |
Denal-ZonIn accordance with Security Force Regulation 11-95, conversations with non-security personnel are to be kept to a minimum. Let's make this quick.I'm Captain Denal-zon. Senator Barc's page "ordered" me to give you information regarding the Senator's stolen goods.MeteorWhere can we find the shipment?Denal-ZonLook, I don't work for him. If you want that information, we're gonna have to come to an understanding.We'll see. Under Security Appropriations Policy B-71, I am allowed to share classified information - if you're working for us.Did the Senator's crony tell you where the shipment came from, or what these computer chips are for?Barsen'thorNow that you mention it, he didn't explain anything about the chips.Denal-ZonI'm not surprised. These political types like to gloss over details. The chips are from the planet Ryloth. They're designed to operate remote control slave collars.Under Republic Law 44-12, Rylothian slave collars and the chips used to make them are illegal in Republic space - even for Senators.MeteorWhy would a Senator need chips for slave collars?Denal-ZonTo be honest, I don't know - but it really doesn't change anything. The law is the law.VoidhoundBarc must be aware of the laws.Denal-ZonSure. He just doesn't think they apply to him. The fact is, possession of those chips is against the law.Our immediate problem is that these slave collar chips are spread around the Migrant Merchants' Guild headquarters.First priority is get the shipment together again. After that, bring the chips back to me and I'll make sure they're destroyed.Hero of TythonThat sounds like the right thing to do.Denal-ZonIt's the only thing to do.MeteorDo you intend to prosecute Senator Barc for this?Denal-ZonNot up to me. My superiors will decide how to proceed with the case.VoidhoundAre you offering a reward?Denal-ZonI can offer you the standard rate. The Senator's probably offering more, but it'll be dirty money.Find the chips and get out of the guild warehouse. Once you've got everything, I suggest you let us deal with the shipment - not the Senator. |
Dialog transcript |
Denal-ZonLook what the wampa dragged in. I was beginning to wonder if I'd see you again. Did you get the shipment of slave collar chips?Barsen'thorThey're all yours. Take these chips and destroy them, Captain.Denal-ZonOh, I will. Senator Barc'll be disappointed, but the law is the law... even for Senators. I know he probably offered more, but I can at least give you the standard rate for your work.I'd like to give more, but Security Personnel Regulation A-76 only authorizes so much for an operation like this one.MeteorWe're just glad we found them before Senator Barc did.Denal-ZonI'm with you on that. To be honest, I can't think of a more detestable technology.I've got a lot of datawork to do now. We don't want the Senator finding any fault with the way this was handled--but you've got my thanks. |

Nik DeleruI'm desperate, Mal!MalI wish I could help, Nik, I really do, but I can't spare the manpower.Nik DeleruIs this what the Republic has been reduced to? Indifference to the suffering of aliens?MeteorThe Republic serves its citizens, sir, and serves them well.Nik DeleruThey serve some better than others - especially if you only have two ears and two eyes.Hero of TythonIndifference is not the policy of the Jedi.Nik DeleruThen why defend an organization that ignores its alien citizens? Look around. Do we look happy here? We are peaceful merchants. It is apparently also our misfortune to be aliens.For us, there is no justice. We are ruled over by gangsters who call themselves the Migrant Merchants' Guild! While Republic security-MalNik, none of you should be living here. We can't guarantee your safety. You know that.Nik DeleruOur homes were buried under rubble during the war! Not our fault the businessmen here are all crooks.Barsen'thorMaybe we can assist.Nik DeleruI don't know. Things are not well at all, and I do so need someone. The Republic considers us squatters and wants us out! The Migrant Merchants' Guild claims to protect us, but all they do is exploit us!Now the guild has kidnapped my mate Ria and put her to work as an entertainer. Ria! Forced to dance for the pleasure of scoundrels!VoidhoundWhy did the guild kidnap your mate?Nik DeleruBecause I failed to make my "protection" payments. And as you can see, Republic security couldn't care less.The guild does whatever it wishes. They are worse than Hutts! Given Republic security's apathy, what is an honest merchant to do?MalOh for goodness sake, Nik! Give it a rest!Nik DeleruThere's no telling what humiliations and depravities Ria's been forced to endure. My beloved is worth a great deal to me. Bring her back and I'll reward you handsomely!VoidhoundAll right.Nik DeleruThank the ancestors! I cannot express what this means to me! Ria is being held with the other dancers in the guild headquarters. She's a beautiful Nautolan with lovely green head-tresses - I'm sure you'll know her. |

Guild Twi'lek DancerIf you're looking for dancers for a private party, they're booking up fast.VoidhoundWe're here to see a friend of ours. Ria Deleru?Guild Twi'lek DancerOh, she just got in. Doesn't even have her costume on yet. Ria! Someone to see you!Ria DeleruThank you for considering Hanera's Dance Troupe for your entertainment needs. How may I please you this day?MeteorYour mate sent us. Nik's worried about you. He asked us to get you out of here.Ria DeleruBlast it. I should've known.I'm afraid you've wasted your time. I'm not here "against my will."Barsen'thorIt's okay, you can talk to me.Hero of TythonNik said you were brought here by the guild.Ria DeleruWell, yes- I mean, I was initially. But it ended up being the best thing that could've happened.I'm sorry, I should've told Nik the truth. I was just hoping to spare his feelings. Life with him was miserable. Not only were we barely scraping by, but I was fed up.His jealousy was driving me crazy! He didn't want me talking to anyone or going out. Life here is... better.Barsen'thorYou should tell Nik. Your mate probably needs to hear this.Ria DeleruI know. I should've realized he would never just let me go.VoidhoundYou prefer it here? You're really saying you'd rather be a dancer?Ria DeleruOh my stars, yes! Hanera says she's never seen someone with as much potential as me. I can really make something of myself.Nik and I left the homeworld together. His devotion was flattering... but I grew to realize the difference between love and obsession.Could you please tell Nik I was shipped off Coruscant? If he thinks I'm gone, he might move on.Hero of TythonIf that's what you want. Stay here. Your secret's safe with us.Ria DeleruThank you! I appreciate your help. Nik's not evil, but I just... couldn't stay. |
Dialog transcript |
Nik DeleruYou're back! Did you find Ria? What happened?MeteorShe's gone. Your mate's no longer on Coruscant.Nik DeleruWhat? No, this can't be! Where did she go?VoidhoundShe left you. She wanted to end the relationship, so she went away. That's all I can tell you.Nik DeleruOh my poor Ria! She was my most valued possession. Why do the ancestors punish me so?I suppose we should settle up, despite the fact that you failed to bring my beloved back. This is yours.Hero of TythonYou're a terrible person. |

AnstissHalt, citizens. I'm seeing double, but you all look like you can handle yourself. Officer Anstiss. Nice to... ouch... meet you. Apparently I've got enemies back at HQ.Got the unenviable task of arresting Gambo - Black Sun enforcer with a string of murders to his name. I've gone inside the Dealer's Den half a dozen times to confront him, and he's beaten me within a centimeter of my life each time.Hero of TythonMaybe I should talk to Gambo.AnstissA Jedi might at least make him think twice, if that's a serious offer. But Gambo doesn't talk, except with his fists.Meteor If an attack fails, you don't keep using it.AnstissStrategy for security officers is pretty much limited to shock sticks and neural bands. The Republic doesn't kill its criminals, even if they're asking for it.Barsen'thorYou don't look so good.AnstissMy head's pounding and you're covered in spots. I've been better.AnstissGambo's vicious, and he's been terrorizing this sector for months. As long as he's at-large, the public's not safe. I'd call for backup, but frankly, Gambo could tear through that whole cantina if he had a mind to. He needs to be talked down or knocked out if I'm going to arrest him. I'm no match, but you might have a shot.Hero of TythonWe'll go talk to Gambo. You should get to a medcenter.AnstissI won't leave my post. I can't take Gambo, but I can keep tabs on him.No one sees Gambo without going through Zooki, his lookout. If you're lucky, Gambo might give you a few words before he starts swinging. Use them wisely. |
Dialog transcript |
Hero of TythonWe need to talk to Gambo.ZookiGambo doesn't like to be bothered. Republic security keeps bothering him. Gambo's getting angry. He tells me leave him alone, or I get thumped. I'm not getting thumped for you.MeteorWe can handle Gambo. He won't hurt you.ZookiOkay. But I think we all get thumped.ZookiSaid they had to see you, boss. Might have been talking to Republic security.GamboRepublic security already sent someone. I broke her. I'll break you, too. Tell Republic security my fists are tired. If you live.Barsen'thorForce PersuadeYou don't want to fight us. You want to turn yourself in.GamboI don't want to fight you. I gotta go turn myself in.ZookiGambo! Wait! That's a dirty trick, Jedi. |
Dialog transcript |
AnstissDon't know what you said, but I almost died of shock when Gambo turned himself in.We're not taking any chances. There's a whole squad escorting him back to headquarters.I should call a medic before I pass out. Thanks for the help. |

Spirakris ZaremHello, patriot. I hope you remain dedicated to the protection of the true Republic. It's fantastic, isn't it? I mean the Senate tower. I was raised there. My father was an admiral and my mother was a Senator, but they were both killed during the war.Barsen'thorThat's tragic. I'm sorry to hear it.Spirakris ZaremDon't be. They gave their lives to protect this great Republic.I'm sorry - my name is Spirakris Zarem. I used to be military, then a diplomat. But not anymore. Now, I represent a group of loyal citizens, willing to go to any length to protect the true Republic from its enemies.MeteorWhat exactly is the "true Republic"?Spirakris ZaremThe true Republic is the one based on ideals - on the principles that carried us through history. Until now. I won't lie to you. The members of my organization prefer to remain anonymous, but we are patriots from all levels of society. Dangerous radicals are about to make a massive power play in the Senate. Senator Glearius Parvil is gathering support to break ties with the Jedi and establish an alliance with the Sith Empire.Hero of TythonWhy would the Republic break ties with the Jedi?Spirakris ZaremBecause your order would never agree to an alliance with the Empire, and that's what the Senator wants. And Parvil actually believes he's trying to save the Republic.MeteorSeems like everybody's jumping ship these days.Spirakris ZaremNo doubt. First it was just some fringe star systems, but now it's happening a lot closer to home.VoidhoundCan't say I'd want to worry about Imperial law enforcement....Spirakris ZaremNo. I imagine not, Captain. So I hope you can help.If the Senator gets his way, it would mean the end of everything the Republic stands for. My colleagues discovered a way to expose Parvil's plan to the public; turn the political tide against this insanity. But our one shot's about to pass us by. Parvil's put us all on Senate security's watch list. We can't even get near the tower.MeteorYou said "your one shot." You have an idea....Spirakris ZaremYou mean you might actually be willing to help us?A diplomatic parcel is being delivered to Senator Parvil's office. All you'd have to do is steal the parcel and smuggle it out to me. Will you do it?Hero of TythonOur duty is to serve the Senators, not steal from them.Spirakris ZaremYou'll be serving the Empire if Senator Parvil gets his way. You must stop him.VoidhoundSounds like a good way to get myself killed.Spirakris ZaremNot at all. We have a plan in place. The risk is minimal.We can reward you for your help. I don't know if that changes anything... A courier droid is delivering the documents to Senator Parvil. Use this scrambler box and it'll hand the parcel to you. Just intercept it before it reaches his office. I'll be waiting here. |
Dialog transcript |
Senator Parvil's PageStop right there! I see what you're doing. How dare you accost the Senator's courier droid? Stealing documents - what's the matter with you? This is the heart of the Republic, the greatest bastion of democracy in the galaxy!VoidhoundI don't know what you're talking about.Senator Parvil's PageDon't lie! We both know you came here to sabotage Senator Parvil's work. I know you people and your drivel about protecting the "true" Republic. However unpopular Senator Parvil's ideas might be, the principles of the Republic give him the freedom to express those ideas.Hero of TythonThe Senator's ideas would destroy the Republic.Senator Parvil's PageYou don't speak for the Republic, Jedi. Your own order's outdated ideals cause more harm than good.MeteorYou mean let a traitor spread his lies? Not in my Republic.Senator Parvil's PageListen to yourself. This is "our" Republic, not "yours."VoidhoundAnd I have the freedom to stop him.Senator Parvil's PageNot according to the laws of the Republic, you don't. Your opinion of Senator Parvil's ideas doesn't matter. The issues should be decided by political discourse, not political sabotage.Barsen'thorI suppose.Senator Parvil's PageExactly. Thank you. If you take the Senator's documents, you spit on everything the Republic stands for. But... the real culprits here are the paranoid fanatics you've gotten yourself tangled up with.VoidhoundWe don't even know who they are.Senator Parvil's PageWhich is precisely why you should feel no allegiance to them whatsoever. Senator Parvil has every right to exercise his political ideas. It would be criminal to steal his parcel. I have this parcel of out-dated agricultural revenue documents. Give me the Senator's parcel and take these to your friends instead.MeteorAll right, The Senator can continue... for now. We'll take back the fakes. |
Dialog transcript |
Spirakris ZaremThere you are. I was beginning to worry Senate security was causing you trouble. How did it go? Did you get Parvil's documents?Hero of TythonThere was a complication - a Senate page found me.Spirakris ZaremIt doesn't matter. So long as you have the evidence we need. I'm glad you pulled it off. You deserve a medal for this, you know. Rest easy knowing Senator Parvil's motion will never pass.MeteorThat was a one-time deal.Spirakris ZaremWhether you're proud of it or not, you are a hero of the true Republic. |

Pat-aKSenator, please comprehend. Repairing Coruscant's infrastructure is green obtuse. To form the red parallel, we require a black bisector.OrandaUh, this is pointless. I can't understand a word you're saying.Pat-aKI use mistaken words and request patience. This will be clearer. The lower levels are alarming and filled with casualties. Active collaborators can solve problems.OrandaExcuse me. Can any of you tell what this ambassador droid is trying to say?Hero of TythonAmbassador droid? Aren't ambassadors usually organic?OrandaThis is an unusual situation. I'm Senator Oranda. From Agamar. Small agricultural world with no real pull in the Senate, trying to change that by helping get Coruscant running again.This is Pat-aK, from the Gree enclave. Before you ask, the Gree are a remote people, isolationist. They helped build Coruscant's original infrastructure. We asked for assistance with repairs, they sent the droids.MeteorWhat sort of infrastructure needs repairing?OrandaPower, water and waste reprocessing. Things this world needs to survive. The war left a lot of Coruscant in bad shape.Pat-aKThe enclave bargains resources and offers reversal of Coruscant's yellow concave. We commit to white vertex to achieve this.OrandaGree droids seem to speak in Gree patterns. So this gibberish is what I've got to rebuild Coruscant with.Pat-aKI speak attentively in hopes of comprehension. The bargain encounters great challenges. My delegates suffer assault effecting the maintenance. Fire, damage and fear. Do you follow?Barsen'thorThere's something threatening stopping you from doing your job? Pat-aKThat is an approximate understanding, yes. Your comprehension is high. My delegates comprehend your terms too well. They reject transit beyond this tower.OrandaCoruscant needs these repairs to continue functioning. Pat-aK, you have to convince your delegates to brave these dangers.Pat-aKImpossible. My delegates require aid from one accustomed to fire, damage and chaos. A black bisector, you see?MeteorLet us help your delegates.Hero of TythonThis is dangerous work - Jedi work.Pat-aKJedi? Ah! Even Gree comprehend this nature. Jedi are black bisector and red equilateral at once.And... I sense-soak-perceive you are one of these elite. You radiate experience of green-yellow-white perpendiculars.I observe you embody deliberate facetiousness, a black bisector survival trait. Exceptional.OrandaListen, the ambassador droid seems to like you. If you're willing to take on the risk to complete these repairs, it could mean everything to Coruscant.Pat-aKI will compensate the black bisector with useful and valued items only available from the enclave. My delegates will describe their black spheres for you. These are bold, courageous, mission-callings. Speak to them and learn. |
Dialog transcript |
Pat-aKThe black bisector returns prosperous, and we form the red parallel, Senator Oranda. The Enclave-Republic bargain evolves achievement.OrandaSo you succeeded? You really helped all the Gree, uh, "delegates" complete their repairs to the infrastructure?Barsen'thorEventually, yes.Pat-aKThe enclave delivers its promised Gree ingenuity, Senator. Coruscant acquires purple equilateral, and the enclave requests Republic reciprocity.OrandaAmbassador droid Pat-aK, the Republic has other damaged worlds that could benefit from your "Gree ingenuity." I propose drafting a formal treaty between the Republic and the Gree enclave. What do you say to that?Pat-aKYou seek a blue parallel with the enclave? I am astonished-gratified-challenged by the prospect. Let us initiate renewed white vertex at once!Hero of TythonI'm glad to have aided the formation of this new alliance.OrandaBy your actions, we see that Gree technology will be invaluable as we rebuild the rest of the Republic.VoidhoundI see you've finally broken the language barrier.OrandaI swear, sometimes he uses the same phrase to mean completely different things, but I'm getting the hang of it. You have my thanks for all your efforts. I had almost given up on these droids before you came along. That would have been a costly mistake.Pat-aKAcknowledgment and profound tribute, black bisector. This collaboration achieves through you. |

Nam-aKNever going back... never going back to blue nonagon. Now, I am yellow concave. Injuries mark my chassis forever, and why? Ungrateful humans!MeteorHow were you damaged?Nam-aKFire, smoke, blades. The occupants of level below committed numerous assaults. My safe return was improbable. It is blue nonagon and horrible. Never going back.Coruscant's life-waters are sluggish-stagnant. Pat-aK commanded me, go to the level below, repair the broken hydrosupply, make clean life-waters flow. I crafted a solution to achieve Pat-aK's command. All was orange sphere, until I arrived at the level below. Then, green perpendicular!Barsen'thorHow were you going to fix the hydrosupply?Nam-aKI crafted a durable object of Gree ingenuity, perfectly-aligned for the needed maintenance. Pat-aK failed to impart the lethal conflict-enemies waiting on the level below. Many weapons and offenders despising my arrival. I fled Black Sun with my crafted solution intact, but the repair progresses unresolved. Coruscant's life-waters remain sluggish-stagnant without repairs. The hydrosupply must have my crafted solution.Hero of TythonCan I take your crafted solution to the hydrosupply?Nam-aKYou offer yourself as a black bisector? That is a gratifying unpredicted announcement! I pledge to provide items of Gree ingenuity in return. Take and apply my crafted solution to the hydrosupply. But do not apply before deactivating nearby flow-valves, or pressure-explosion-death will result! Be alerted, Black Sun green perpendicular will provide onslaught. May you experience blue tangent and return intact.... |

WaarinHey, what are you doing? Get away from that! Back off! This is our hydrosupply, and we like it broken. Now get lost.VoidhoundWhat are you kids doing here?WaarinWe live here. Who do you think you are, stomping in here like this? We need this water. We don't have any money, and there's nowhere else in the district to get water for free. We'll die if it gets shut off.MeteorWhat happened to your parents?WaarinThey died in the war, all right? We're on our own now.Hero of TythonI gave my word as a Jedi to repair this device.Hero of TythonYou're a Jedi? Aren't you supposed to help people?Barsen'thorMany more will die if the hydrosupply is not repaired.WaarinNobody cares about us, why should we care?VoidhoundYou can always get by if you've got five fingers, kid.WaarinI've stolen stuff before, but I hate it. Everybody I take things from is poor like us.MeteorIf I gave you some credits, would you be able to find a new place to go?WaarinYeah, that'd be a start. It'll take a lot, though. Are you gonna give us enough?MeteorThis should take care of you and your friends.WaarinWhoa! I've never even seen that many credits before. We can trade for a long time with these. Thanks! |

Sealing the break promotes their safety.Clean life-waters flow and nurture upper levels. The Coruscant sufferer-beings achieve benefits of the enclave's Gree ingenuity. My black sphere evolves to a purple parallel because of you. When I impart this development, Pat-aK will progress enthusiasm with the Senator.Hero of TythonWe're glad life on Coruscant will be better now.Nam-aKThe city-planet's infrastructure expresses elementary designs.

VoidhoundThat was a fairly unsubtle attempt to get my attention.Nalrin DaheelOh, but I represent the Republic. Senator Nalrin Daheel, representative of the wisdom and beauty of the Ugnaught people. And I've heard you're a friend to our interests. I thought you might help me out.That is Senator Gunaray Dod. The great lout is more than ugly. He's corrupt right up to those tiny ears. He's been paying the Black Sun to harass his political opponents and has blocked all attempts to curb their violence. But I can make no formal accusation without proof.MeteorIf this is true, it is our duty to unveil this corruption.Nalrin DaheelYour honesty provides you the dignity of an Ugnaught.Dod is paying the Black Sun with Kavin bills, an ancient currency from his homeworld that is almost never found elsewhere. If you find Black Sun thugs in possession of these bills, it is all I need. And no one would mourn if your search cleared our streets of gangsters. Bring me any Kavin bills you find. I will see you rewarded with far more than their worth in credits. |

Nurls YorkinHey there, strangers. You look like you know your way around a dock.Agent Yorksin, SIS. Never mind the outfit. I'm undercover. I need help. We've been moving our people into the Finaq Shipping Company for months. We want to stop contraband weapons shipments. Now Black Sun's started hijacking Finaq's freighters - killing the crew and grabbing the cargo. If I send in SIS, our cover is blown - we start all over.MeteorI think we can make a few hijackers regret their choice of career...Nurls YorkinOnce they're taken care of, we need to know where they take the freight.VoidhoundYou need me to bring back the cargo?Nurls YorkinJust let me know where they're taking the freight. I'll send my team. Try checking around the docks - Black Sun's got to have a loader programmed to offload the cargo somewhere secure. |

StansunKeeping Coruscant clean's a dirty job, but it's good to see I've got company. I'm Officer Stansun, Republic security. We're fighting a war against the Black Sun. Wish I could say we're winning. Word has it they're running an illegal surgery clinic, giving wanted criminals new faces. Helps them dodge arrest.MeteorRepublic security should end their operation.StansunWe've tried, but the facility moves shop the second they see our uniforms.More and more dangerous criminals slip through our fingers every day. Unfortunately, they move shop whenever Republic security swoops in. But maybe you could pay this clinic a visit. Smash their illegal surgery droids, pull their patient files. Show them the Republic's still in charge.MeteorBlack Sun's clinic won't operate another day.StansunGood to hear. The sooner we shut them down, the quicker we can clean up Coruscant.Destroy the Black Sun surgery droids then download their patient files. That's all we need to pull the masks off their criminal clients. |

MeteorThe clinic's not taking any more patients. And here are those records you wanted.StansunPerfect. With them, we can ID those face-swapping thugs.Nice work, Lieutenant.

Dooce EvertonDid Lobacc send you? Guess not. Detective Dooce Everton. Senate security hired me to get hard evidence on who's pulling the strings in the Black Sun. Someone they can put behind bars. I was hoping one of my informants sent you.MeteorWhat evidence are you looking for? We might know something.Dooce EvertonThey'll take anything I can give them - names, known hideouts, family members....VoidhoundIs this a paid position? I've done worse.Dooce EvertonI've got a budget. You want to help out, I'm sure I can get the Senate to cover the extra.I've been working a snitch for a while, finally got him ready to give holo-evidence against the heavy hitters in the Black Sun.But he'll only meet on his turf. It's a cantina, worst of the worst, blaster fights every night. I'm known down there and I wouldn't make it back.MeteorI'd like to see one of these thugs take on Havoc Squad.Dooce EvertonThat would be a sight. Almost makes me want to come along. Almost.VoidhoundI think I know that spot - I've got a tab there.Dooce EvertonYou looked like the lower levels might be your stomping grounds.Lobacc should be waiting at these coordinates. I'll call ahead; tell him to expect an... unusual... group.Then you just need to make it out with the recordings before the Black Sun tries to take it off your fresh bleeding corpse. |
Dialog transcript |
VoidhoundI'm here to pick up the recordings you have for Dooce Everton. I'm here to pick up the recordings you have for Dooce Everton.Deringon LobaccYou want to spray paint that on the walls or anything? Little discretion, here!Tell Dooce it's just what he asked for. Enough for the Republic to make arrests, Black Sun, the real stuff. Hope they can make it stick.This is Coruscant... you shouldn't have to be afraid for your life just because you get off the wrong elevator. |
Dialog transcript |
VoidhoundLobacc says the recordings in here should be enough to make arrests.Dooce EvertonPerfect. Perfect. I already talked to the Senate about getting you paid.If this really helps put the Black Sun out of commission, it's blasted priceless.If the violence gets any worse, the Senate's talking about giving up the lower levels altogether. |

TheraguinHey there. Always good to see another brave soul - there aren't many of us left. I'm Captain Theraguin - last officer on the job here since the patrols stopped. Welcome to Black Sun territory.MeteorAre you saying there's no security down here?TheraguinYou kidding me? My commander gave up on this sector a long time ago. I shouldn't even be here.The locals only venture out of their apartments when they have to scrounge for supplies.Now with no security forces, what future do they have? And Black Sun has a new game. Call it "Boom."VoidhoundUh-oh.TheraguinBlack Sun steals Republic supply crates, takes the supplies out, then rigs the crates with explosives.Then they set the trapped crates in the street; make bets on how long before some fool tries to open them.Hero of TythonWhy would anyone do a thing like that?TheraguinI don't know. You want to be charitable, assume Black Sun doesn't think straight.MeteorOnly cowards attack civilian targets.TheraguinYeah. It's one thing when the gangs shoot at us - but killing innocents for fun?Barsen'thorHasn't someone tried to do something?TheraguinThe locals don't know what's going on. And like I said before, security can't patrol here anymore.Barsen'thorIt takes a dark soul to do such a thing.TheraguinDidn't believe it until I saw it with my own eyes - this mousy little woman - blown to pieces.I try to defuse the crates myself - the mechanics are simple, but Black Sun's everywhere. Nearly killed me last time.Hero of TythonWe can handle Black Sun. We want to make things right.TheraguinThat's- thank you. That's just what I needed to hear.Now, Black Sun's explosives are pretty simple. I can show you what to do.Anything you can do... I'll be more than grateful. But be damn careful. |
Dialog transcript |
TheraguinHaven't heard an explosion in a good while. Guess that means you defused those crates.MeteorWe think I found them all. Let's hope Black Sun doesn't get any more. Ran into some thugs....TheraguinWe'll make sure. No more people will be killed looking for food.Black Sun's more than a match for security. I'm glad you were here to help.Now, I'm no rich Senator, but let me give you a little something for taking care of this. Recognition.MeteorIt's a generous offer, but we can't accept.VoidhoundLook, I don't normally do charity, but... let's say someone owes me a drink, okay?TheraguinRare to find someone not out to make a profit.You probably have other business, so I won't keep you. Watch your back out there. |

FolarisHey. Why don't you hold up a minute? I'm Folaris. I think you and I should have a private chat.VoidhoundYou want to talk, talk fast.Don't worry. It will only take a second. There's a rumor going around that Black Sun's about to clean house. Snitches, rival gang leaders - they're all gonna be dead meat. There's a list of these unfortunate individuals sitting on their computers. I need those names.MeteorSounds to me like you're in law enforcement.FolarisLet's just say I'm interested in what's best for the people of Coruscant.Barsen'thorYou seem to know an awful lot.FolarisAnonymous sources, who need to stay that way. I can slice into Black Sun's computers and get the hit list, but they'll be able to trace me. So, while I'm slicing in, I need someone to break into the Black Sun hideout and shut down their tracing equipment. Think you can do that?VoidhoundDo you really want to put your life in our hands to get this list?FolarisDon't have much choice, do I? I need that list, and I need it yesterday. Time to make this happen. All right... go! Go! |
Dialog transcript |
FolarisWell, since I haven't been visited by any large, angry Black Sun thugs, I take it you got everything taken care of?MeteorOf course it's taken care of.Whew... all right, that's great news. What a relief. Here - something for your trouble. I can't thank you enough for your help. Ha... you know, it's funny. There are people who would pay a frigate-load of credits for this list.MeteorThat list should be going to your superiors!FolarisMaybe so. But they don't pay me nearly enough for the risks I take down here everyday.Hero of TythonSo you had an ulterior motive all along.No, it's nothing like that. I was just thinking, it'd be nice to make a little something extra, wouldn't it?Barsen'thorIf you sell the list, you'll be exposed as the thief.FolarisMaybe, maybe not. There are ways to avoid that kind of attention.MeteorSensitive intel like that could cause havoc in the wrong hands.FolarisIf the list goes public, everyone on it would be warned - and we'd make a tidy profit. I know a guy, Nizkif. He's an "information broker." Nizkif hangs out at the Dealer's Den, a cantina in the old Galactic Market.Hero of TythonThat list should be used to save lives.FolarisYou just don't give in, do you? Ah, you're right, I shouldn't be looking for a quick profit. I'll make sure the list ends up in the right hands. Lives are more important than credits anyhow. See you around, then. Thanks again for all your help. |

DoornLook at this place. Nothing but freeloading tramps. I don't know why we bother. I used to be proud to say, "Lieutenant Doorn, Coruscant Security Forces." These days, it's just a job. Doesn't even pay the bills.MeteorYou should be proud of what you do.DoornRight now, I'm just trying to keep my head above the garbage.VoidhoundSounds like things are rough.DoornYeah, and it just keeps coming. But this is my family's only income.Now some stupid holodisc was stolen, and the commander wants me to deal with it! I don't have the manpower to recover stolen intelligence! I- I can't just pull a commando unit out of my helmet, can I?MeteorYou've got an elite commando unit right here.DoornYou're volunteering? I was probably gonna figure something out, but hey, I'll take you up on that.Here's the deal: You probably don't know 'em, but there're these weird secret passages running all over the planet. Funny thing is, we didn't even know about these passages until the schematics were stolen off an old databank! So they can sneak around the planet and get away with who knows what! But now that the commander's realized they exist, he wants to make use of them. Figures, don't it?But the schematics weren't taken by some gutter thief. They were taken by the blasted Justicars! Crazy vigilantes - the Justicars are armed to the teeth. Most of my security officers just flat-out refuse to tangle with them. We don't get paid enough to stick our necks out too far.Barsen'thorSometimes it's necessary to risk ourselves for the greater good.DoornThat's easy for a Jedi to say. My men don't see fighting the Justicars as a risk, they see it as suicide. My team has some good men, but the Justicars are beyond any of us. Simple as that.There's another detail: We don't know where the Justicars took the stolen schematics. An agent from the Strategic Information Service was assigned to track the thieves, but she hasn't reported back in.MeteorRescuing this spy should be top priority.Take it easy - I'm sure the spy's fine. She just might be able to help you track down the schematics. Her name is Fieler Dan. A little old and a little batty, if you ask me. Fieler's last known location was in Justicar territory. If she's done her job, she should know where to find those schematics.Hero of TythonYou can count on us.DoornNow keep in mind - worthless as they may be, we're under strict orders to make sure these schematics aren't leaked to anyone. So after you find old lady Fieler and recover the schematics, you make sure to bring them directly back to me. That's critical. |
Dialog transcript |
Fieler DanWhat do you want? I'm just an old woman minding her own business. Haven't done nothing to no one.VoidhoundI take it you're the Republic spy?Fieler DanOh, so you're my backup! About time! I'm risking my neck loitering here! Republic security needs to get its act together! Downright insulting this has taken so long!MeteorThe lieutenant said you never contacted him.Fieler DanHe's never heard of "radio silence"? Idiot.Barsen'thorYou must be more patient.Fieler DanDue respect, Jedi, you don't have to deal with Republic security every day. I do.Look, I tracked the data thieves down here, and I'm positive the Justicars took the schematics to their base. Probably to their main computer. You do realize, though, that once you take the schematics back, they'll just gather dust in some security storeroom.Hear me out on this... my daughter runs a relief group called "Undercity Assistance." They bring food and supplies to the poor in the lower levels. These schematics would help them avoid the gangs down here.Hero of TythonI don't see any reason you couldn't copy the maps you need.Fieler DanThat's just what I was thinking. Just bring the holodisc back to me after you get it, and I can make a copy for my daughter.MeteorWe'll do it.Fieler DanYou have all the information I can give. Go pay a visit to the Justicars - and if you want that data put to good use, I'll be here. |
Dialog transcript |
Fieler DanWell now, look here, the hotshot's back after busting into the Justicars' base. Did you find the holodisc, kid? Can I make a copy for my daughter?MeteorHere - make your copy and give it back.Fieler DanI had a good feeling the minute I met you. A quick copy - and there's your holodisc. Easy enough. You remember this: Undercity Assistance will use these secret passages to help people in need.Hero of TythonCoruscant needs all the help it can get right now.Fieler DanNice to work with someone who knows what they're doing. Now take that disc back so security can ignore it again. |
Dialog transcript |
DoornYou've been gone a while - I'm even working overtime. My commander's calling every five minutes, bugging me about those schematics. You get them from the Justicars?MeteorYes.DoornFinally. Here's what I can pay you - plus a little extra for hazard duty. And... can we keep this quiet? Hiring you to get this back makes the rest of us look bad.Hero of TythonThose schematics could be very helpful. Be sure they aren't wasted.DoornWell, my commander's real excited to see these secret passages. But we'll see if he actually follows through. Either way, you spared my team a massive headache and probably even a few casualties. |

Hib-R-akOperator units always inherit fouled labors. I administrate as well as Pat-aK, but I am marooned to waste processing! What have I done to incur white acute?Barsen'thorUnhappiness is a sign one has lost one's balance.Hib-R-akMy gyros respond positively. Balance remains stable. Your statement advances nothing.MeteorIs that what you are? An Operator unit?Hib-R-akYou submit curiosity? Bewildering. Foreign species customarily embody flawless self-centeredness. Gree units fulfill four caste-assignments: Crafter, Operator, Researcher and Administrator. I am Operator. I ensure proper function of Gree ingenuity. Pat-aK is Administrator unit. His sole aptitude is communication-command-governance-argument. I can serve Pat-aK's function. Can he serve mine? No!Hero of TythonIf you dislike your assignment so much, why not change to a different one?Hib-R-akMy aptitudes are gray sphere, but the enclave permits only Operator unit assignment. This is inequitable distribution of my aptitudes.VoidhoundHow do you know you can do Pat-aK's job?Hib-R-akI share aptitude for communication-command-governance-argument. Operator caste was compelled to me, not programmed at origin.Pat-aK commanded me: Optimize Coruscant's waste processing system. Preserve your organs from filth-disease-poisons. But Ugnaught porcine-bipeds plunder Gree ingenuity from waste processors. With Gree optimization solution stolen, filth-disease-poisons spread uncontrolled. Plagues imminent!MeteorWhat would Ugnaughts gain from possessing your technology?Hib-R-akMany species attempt access of Gree ingenuity. This is no white convex- ah, mystery-puzzle-labor. The Ugnaught porcine-bipeds plundered Gree optimization solution unaware of internal transmitters. I detect the plundered device's coordinates. Pat-aK authorizes compensation of Republic credits to the black bisector who repossesses the optimization solution.MeteorYou can count on us.Hib-R-akThat is the expected response, black bisector. Why exhaust respiratory functions on it? |

GotrutNo blasters! We got no blasters! It's just a workshop. We're not with those Justicar crazies you been fightin' out there.MeteorCooperate and you won't be harmed. Where's the Gree device?GotrutOh, great. I told you guys we should've left that alien thing where it belonged!Take it, all right? We thought we could make it work, but we can't. We'll have to find some other way to save everyone on this level.MeteorAre the people on this level in some kind of danger?GotrutYes. We're not thieves, we're engineers. We work to keep this area clean and safe, but it's gettin' harder every day to do that. People here count on us for essential services. We give them power and light.The Gree stuff is all yours, don't worry. We never woulda taken it if we weren't in such a hopeless situation. This level's got a big problem we can't fix. The air filters stopped working. The Senate won't send anybody to make repairs, and things are gettin' bad. We got too many people living in the same area.Barsen'thorThis is Coruscant. Why wouldn't the Senate help with repairs?GotrutThey don't bother keepin' any of our major systems running. Why should they, when the Justicars won't let 'em in?VoidhoundIt sounds like it's time to find a new home.GotrutCoruscant's always been our home. We're all here because we believe in the Republic. Can't you understand that?Without our air filters, the smog seeps in fast, which is even harder on the non-humanoids. Pretty soon we're gonna have an epidemic on our hands.Hero of TythonThere must be some way to avoid that outcome.GotrutThat's what we keep tellin' ourselves, but so far we've come up empty. If we get our air filters workin', you'll never hear from us again. I know I'm askin' a lot, but will you tell the Gree about us? Maybe ask them to show us how to fix things up? Please?Barsen'thorWe'll tell the Gree representatives about your situation.GotrutYou don't know what this means to us. You're savin' innocent lives. Here, this datapad's got stuff about us the Gree will wanna know. Schematics of what we're workin' on, our repair manuals, all that stuff. Just show it to them. It'll explain everything about our situation. |
Dialog transcript |
Hib-R-akInternal transmitters reveal you convey the optimization solution to me. I also scan a crude Ugnaught porcine-biped proposal of collaboration. Curious.Hero of TythonI think you'll find that datapad worth reading.Hib-R-akThe Ugnaught porcine-bipeds submit esteem for my efforts and honor my faculties. This is unforeseen pleasantness.VoidhoundThis is a great opportunity to show your skills as an Administrator unit.Hib-R-akThis unlikely collaboration acknowledges my true aptitude. What a purple tangent, to achieve astounding me this way. With this optimization solution repossessed, Coruscant's waste processors revive. Filth-disease-poison levels recede, plague outbreaks averted. All resolves to purple parallel. |

JaffkeeHey, you- hold up. No, no, don't look at me, just look casual. Act like you're not talking to anyone.My name's Jaffkee. I'm with Republic security. Is the street clear? Any Justicar patrols?VoidhoundAre you always this jumpy?JaffkeeI am when I'm in a place like this! I already tangled with the Justicars. Trust me, you don't want to underestimate these guys. I'm supposed to disrupt the Justicars' signal jammers, so Republic security can run some useful surveillance on these guys.VoidhoundIf you survived, the Justicars can't be that tough.JaffkeeI'm only alive because I ran. Hard.Republic security was actually excited about the Justicars at first. A bunch of ex-military guys forming a militia to take back the streets!MeteorYou can never rely on militias, agent - even ex-military.JaffkeeRepublic security hoped the Justicars would work alongside our officers - bring order to Coruscant's lower levels. But they pushed out Republic forces just like they did the criminals. They keep the peace down here, but they definitely aren't on the Republic's side.MeteorThen whose side are they on? If the Justicars aren't working with the Republic, then who are they working with?JaffkeeNo clue. They pushed out Black Sun and the other criminal groups, but their goals are still a mystery.Hero of TythonYou were sent to find out more about the Justicars, right?JaffkeeUh, not exactly. We've tried to run surveillance on their activities, but their signal jammers block every attempt. I thought disrupting the jammers would be easy, but the Justicar patrols are everywhere.MeteorObjectives don't complete themselves, agent.JaffkeeI just... I really hate to let everyone down like this. They were counting on me. You definitely look like you can handle the job... better than I could, anyway.I built the devices to disrupt the Justicars' jammers. They just need to be installed - can you do that for me?Barsen'thorWe'll take the devices and place them for you.JaffkeeThank you so much! Here, take the devices. They need to be planted at several points around the district. That's the tricky part--Justicar patrols are everywhere. Once you've planted the devices, make your way back. Good luck, and... thanks. |
Dialog transcript |
JaffkeeYou're back! Thank goodness. Did you get all the devices in place?MeteorYes, it's done. The devices are all in place.All right, let's see if these things work. They're booting up now... synchronizing and....It's working! The frequencies are all clearing, one by one! This is fantastic!MeteorWill you be able to conduct your surveillance?JaffkeeWhat? Oh, yes, definitely. The air couldn't be clearer.I'll notify headquarters that the jammers are down. Thanks again for your help - this mission would have been a complete failure without you. |

Renalda AgarethEx- excuse me. You don't look like a Justicar. I hope.... The Justicars say they're protecting us from the Black Sun, that they're better than the gangs - but they're not! I hate them! You're... you're really not one, right? I don't want to get in trouble. Like Braedon did.Hero of TythonWho's Braedon? Are you asking for my help?MeteorWe're not from Coruscant. We're not in any of the gangs.Renalda AgarethPlease, can you help me rescue Braedon? He's my brother. He's only fifteen, but they think he's older. They say they "indentured" him because he broke one of their stupid curfew laws. So they lock him up all day and make him shoot the Black Sun all night. He's going to die They're going to send me offworld! They say Braedon doesn't need any distractions!MeteorDon't worry. We'll get your brother back.Renalda AgarethPop always told us to trust soldiers, but I wasn't sure... after the Justicars.... Thank you.Hero of TythonWho exactly has your brother?Renalda AgarethThey're, I don't know, cops or soldiers or something. But they act like just another gang. Please help me! To get to Braedon, you'll need some special belt they all wear. It's the only way to get past the security field where Braedon is. Please, please bring him back to me! |

MeteorYour sister sent us. You're free.Braedon AgarethRennie? But she's... she's a little girl. How could she...? And why? Oh, now they're going to kill me! Quick, can you, uh, put that back... um, get it working again or something?Hero of TythonYou want to be the Justicars' captive?Braedon AgarethI can't escape. As long as the Justicars have me in their records as a curfew-breaker, they'll just hunt me down again. And if they get me for going AWOL, they'll use torture! Unless....Look, if you really want to help, go into their computers and delete my file. I'll hide out somewhere. When things die down, I'll find Rennie again. |
Dialog transcript |
Barsen'thorYour brother is free. He says he will find you as soon as it's safe.Renalda AgarethR- really? The Justicars were saying he'd been killed. But he's alive? Really? Thank you! Thank you! You're my second-best friend in the whole world! |

Finest custom metalwork on Coruscant. Least we used to be before the Sacking. Once the attack began, I went off the grid, lost my connection to the upper levels. Took elbow grease to stay afloat. Did well until those Justicars arrived. They took over my shop and kicked me into the street!MeteorJusticars give the Republic a bad name.Luran GonthorMaybe you can show 'em how a real patriot fights.The Senate and such won't help; they don't want to face the Justicars. Also, they say they've got no record that it's my shop. Of course those records are long gone, blown away during the Sacking of Coruscant. Only proof I have now is the deed--and that's inside my old shop. If you get it, I can force the Senate to push the Justicars out.Hero of TythonYour company will be back on its feet in no time.Luran GonthorGlad to hear it!

Reid GandonWelcome to Justicar territory, citizen. Nice to see a friendly face. Agent Reid Gandon, Strategic Information Service. Notice anything odd down here? Like how quickly the Justicars took control?reid_ganden: Weapons and armor don't just materialize out of thin air. The Justicars have a supplier, and it isn't the Republic. You follow?Hero of TythonYou suspect the Justicars of illegal trade?Reid GandonAnd worse. Black market goods are one thing, but trading with the Empire is treason. The Justicars were supposedly formed by Republic citizens. Fear and martial law's not how the Republic operates.MeteorWhere else can the Justicars get what they need?Reid GandonIf not legally from the Republic, there's a few options - the Exchange, separatists, even the Empire. But as ruthless as they've become, the Justicars are keeping the Black Sun at bay. So, Republic security won't move on this without proof.Whoever's got the weapons runs the show. The SIS needs to know where those supplies are coming from. The Justicars control their own shipping dock, and I'm sure they keep records. I just need someone who can handle an ambush to get them.Barsen'thorStorming the docks might make the Justicars suspicious.Reid GandonIf there were another way, I'd be topside and long gone by now.MeteorWe will do it a hard way.Reid GandonGet those records to me as soon as you find them. You don't want to get waylaid by the Justicars. |

PausWhoa, look at you! You're perfect, just perfect! So, my name's Paus, right, and I'm a journalist. The only journalist down here who isn't afraid to dig up the truth! I'm on to something major with these Justicars. I'm gonna blow the lid on all their tyranny and oppression, and show all of Coruscant what they really are!VoidhoundI try not to argue with lunatics. If you say you're onto something, that's great.PausHey, if it's crazy to love freedom and hate totalitarian thugs like the Justicars, then yeah, I'm plenty crazy. I'm working on a major scoop. A clear-cut case of wrongful arrest, illegal imprisonment and unjust execution! Proof I need is just out of reach, though. I need a fearless hero to get that evidence. I need you!MeteorWhy us?PausBecause I can tell! You're brave, you're tough! Everything a hero of freedom and justice should be!Rikael Lysannis. Son of a wealthy family, arrested and executed without trial or explanation. He's the key to everything - the catalyst, the dirty little secret. Nobody's talking about Rikael's death. Not the Justicars, not his family, nobody. So I need the facts, straight from the source: the Justicar tower. And that's where you come in.Barsen'thorOdd. Why do you think the boy's parents won't speak on the matter?PausI'm sure the Justicars got to them - told them they were dead meat if they talked to anybody.Hero of TythonWe'll find out the true circumstances of this poor boy's death, Paus. Perhaps then, justice can be served.PausYeah! And not the Justicars' jack-booted justice, either - the real thing! And we've all got to cover the bills, right? I'll make it worth your while, don't worry.Interrogation droids. They're the key. Justicars use 'em all the time, and they record everything they see. Find the droid that recorded Rikael, smash it and yank the memory core. You can check the core on the Justicar computers, to make sure you've got the right one.MeteorIf innocent people are suffering, then something must be done.PausAll right, then. Soon as you've got the recording I need, bring it back here and we'll show Coruscant the truth about these Justicars! Good luck, buddy, good luck! |
Dialog transcript |
PausI've been hearing some serious comm chatter, pal! Sounds like you made a mess in the Justicar tower! Did you find any recordings of Rikael? Don't keep me in suspense!MeteorRikael's story didn't unfold quite the way you thought it did.PausWell, that doesn't sound too good. Let me see what you've got here. Oh no! Rikael, you snake! No wonder your parents won't talk about you, you little thug! Great. My whole story, shot to pieces. That little jerk was my best lead. Now I've got nothing to go on.VoidhoundEven if this lead didn't work out, you're still right about the Justicars.PausI won't let this keep me down. I'll find the proof. Just got to stick it out a little longer down here, that's all. Anyways, thanks for all your help. Keep fighting the good fight! I'll see you around. |

In-iKThe black bisector comes! Pleasing, as it is needed. I am In-iK, science unit. Please "talk up" if your comprehension white-shifts. I will use simple-happy language-words to help you understand.Barsen'thorWe do... appreciate anything you can do.In-iKIndubitably!VoidhoundWhat's with your language, anyway? I can barely understand you.In-iKThe Gree language-form is dissimilar to Basic language-form. Because Gree senses are unique red bisectors! Five Gree senses analyze forms. Three Gree senses soak color. So goes language. Other species miscommunicate our language-words.Coruscant power comes from the Works. Darkness comes from the Works. Coruscant-Senators, traders are blind. The power-darkness must stop.MeteorThe Works are where Coruscant's power is generated?In-iKThe Works is very low on Coruscant. There, Gree spawning generators breed electrons for machine-consumption. But enemy droid-machines intersect the power conduits and yellow-shift their functionality. Enemy droid-machines must stop, and conduits must be fixed.Hero of TythonWhy are the enemy droid-machines disrupting the power conduits?In-iKAll droids in the Works were damaged when the Empire attacked. Now they are corrupt. I monitor the power conduits, and know where to implement purple-shifting. As black bisector, you can "take out" many, many droid-machines. With information planted inside you, and our tool-sphere repair-mother in your many fingers, you can perform the fixing function! It is efficacious?VoidhoundSounds efficacious to me.In-iKExcellent-red tangents envelop us! You will do well, black bisector. |
Dialog transcript |
In-iKThe power-darkness is obsolete! The conduits are fully functional, and I have witnessed through our monitors. Also, you destroyed many enemy droid-machines, so well done!MeteorFinally finished.In-iKPlease remember Gree technology is exclusive to the enclave. Do not attempt to duplicate, or you will be absorbed into the gray pentachoron.Barsen'thorNo more blackouts?In-iKNow. Not eternally. In one millennium, if our interests intersect, we will ask for help again. |

Fez BurbaGreetings, humble citizens. I am Fez Burba, scientist-notary of the Republic and planetary consult to the Galactic Senate. My current project could alter history. If my theory proves correct, I will be the most famous scientist who ever lived. Consider this - we all know the Imperial bombardment of Coruscant wreaked havoc on the infrastructure. But what if it also damaged the planet's very core?MeteorWould there be a way to repair the damage?Perhaps, depending on the extent of it... but most likely, the planet would have to be evacuated.Hero of TythonGo on.Fez BurbaDamage to the core could cause geothermal instability, plate fragmentation - in short, level the whole city.VoidhoundThat's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.Fez BurbaI assure you, it's not impossible. The bombardment of Lexus Nine created a rift beneath the surface that caused unprecedented cataclysms. Everyone died.It is crucial that I get seismic readings from the lower levels. Specifically, from the Works sector. In the spirit of scientific inquiry and on behalf of the safety of the Republic, I need you to perform this critical mission. Prove my theory correct, and the Senate will grant me a substantial endowment for further research. I will give you a generous reward as compensation.Barsen'thorIf your theory's incorrect - what happens then?Fez BurbaI will still pay, of course, but your compensation will be significantly less. Budgetary constraints, you know. All that's required is that you take the Burba Seismic Activity Reader - my invention, of course - and use it in the Works. The reader is both accurate and user-friendly. The challenge will be in the journey, not in the science. |

Fez BurbaWelcome back, my illustrious colleague. Tell me you've taken the seismic readings?MeteorWe managed the job.Fez BurbaFantastic. I tell you, we are going to make history together. Quickly. Please, let me examine the Burba Seismic Activity Reader....What? It can't be. This indicates there is no unusual seismic activity at all!VoidhoundIt seems your theory proved to be incorrect.Hero of TythonThis means the planet won't be destroyed, right?Fez BurbaYes... I mean, of course. I'm just surprised. It's atypical for one of my theories to be wrong. I just can't believe it. I haven't been wrong in so long.... This could reflect very poorly on my reputation. I suggest you take your compensation and keep quiet - I believe the reward is generous, given the outcome. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have much to consider. Farewell. |

OzuristHail to the glory of the apparatus! Welcome to the hallowed walkways of the great Works! I am Ozurist, the chief engineer. I serve the great machines, the true rulers of Coruscant.Barsen'thorIt's a pleasure to meet you, Ozurist.OzuristIt's always good to see another humble biological down here.MeteorYou're the engineer. Don't the machines serve you?OzuristNo. I am small. I am weak and organic. My lifespan is but a blip on the machines' sensors. These machines are the vital organs of the planet. Biologicals are merely parasites, totally dependent on the infinite energy of the great ones. But discord emerges among the exalted masters. The stationaries grant sustenance to the biologicals, but the mobiles long to destroy our kind.Barsen'thorEngines and droids don't want anything. They can't think.OzuristBiologicals ignore the reality. They will learn.MeteorWhat are "stationaries" and "mobiles"?OzuristThe stationaries are industrial behemoths. Creators. The mobiles - some call them "droids" - are workers. Understand this: One of the stationaries, Thermodraft, is in great pain. He is melting down, but the mobiles will not let me help him. When he dies, thousands of biologicals above will die with him. His energy will be unleashed.MeteorAre you talking about some sort of explosion? Radiation leak...?OzuristBoth. Thermodraft dies an angry death.Hero of TythonWill you do something?OzuristI could fix Thermodraft if I could get past the mobiles, but they're too powerful and they would kill me. You are only a mere biological, but perhaps you could help save Thermodraft. You'd have to release the control valves on his steel skeleton. Do this, and matters could be set right.MeteorLet's call this, "Operation Machine Rescue."OzuristThat seems fitting. Thermodraft lives farther down into the Works. You'll see him. He is astounding to behold. |
Dialog transcript |
OzuristI have been awaiting your return, biological. I feared for the fate of my lord. I heard his cries grow silent. Tell me that means you saved him - tell me the great Thermodraft lives on.Hero of TythonWe saved him.OzuristPraise the Maker. I don't know what I would have done if Thermodraft died. The machines have given me many amazing gifts. Take this one. May it serve you as you have served Thermodraft.Barsen'thorWe appreciate it.Hero of TythonI'm just glad the big guy's gonna be okay.OzuristI am, too. Did I tell you that Thermodraft is one of the originals? He is a legend. I must return to my duties now. The great machines need me, and I am proud to serve. Glory to you, biological, and glory to the great machines! |

BelkanThey... they're going to get it... please... you've got to stop them....MeteorWhat happened?BelkanWe were on a mission... on our way to the Jedi Temple.... We were ambushed... Imperial scum... you can't let them get it!MeteorGo on.BelkanWe were sent to get... astrogation charts.... top secret... general said... the charts are critical.... The Imperials know about them... a traitor... one of our own... sold us out.... they can't get those charts!Hero of TythonWere there any Sith with the Imperials?BelkanMaybe... I couldn't see... there were too many of them....MeteorWhere are those charts, soldier?BelkanThe old Jedi Temple... top level... in a sealed case, in the Council chambers... that's where the charts are....MeteorThen that's where we'll be going.BelkanThe charts... must take them to... General Wendin... Senate tower.... Do it... for the... Republic! |

WendinLieutenant, get me Republic High Command! Captain, I want six squads prepped for a high-speed shuttle assault! Somebody get these blasted gawkers out of my way!VoidhoundGuess you don't want this old astrogation computer, huh?WendinWhat? What did you just say? Let me see that thing.... Well, I'll be hung with the Chancellor's shorts. You've got the astrogation computer from the Jedi Temple ruins! I was mobilizing half the Republic army to go after it. The squad's holocam recorded those scragging Imperials ambushing my men. They killed them all!MeteorYour squad fell in battle, but their mission was a success. We spoke with one of your men before he died.WendinKnowing them, his last thoughts were on the mission. They were good soldiers. They'll receive the highest honors for their sacrifice. You honored my squad by getting that device here and made me as happy as a bantha on the beach. Do you have any idea what that device is? What it can do?MeteorIt's an astrogation computer.That's the understatement of the decade. The computer contains secret hyperspace routes the Jedi shared with the Republic military decades ago. The Empire gets their hands on those hyperspace routes, and they could ambush every ship in our fleet.Hero of TythonYes, but the Empire failed. The Force was with us, General.WendinBeen a while since I heard those words. I've missed them.Barsen'thorThe Empire is not destined to win this war.Wendin I'll let you trust in destiny, Jedi. Personally, I prefer power armor and a good auto-cannon.VoidhoundThose hyperspace routes could come in handy for me.If you're looking for shortcuts through the Rimma trade lane, you'll be disappointed. These are military patrol routes, and they need to stay secret.MeteorYou can always count on Havoc Squad, General.WendinYou're the new leader of Havoc Squad? Blasted good to meet you, soldier!WendinYour efforts kept the Republic safe from the Empire - for that, you deserve more'n a clap on the shoulder. Haven't got a medal, so I guess credits will have to do. I can't make you rich, but I can do something.Hero of TythonKeep your reward. We did this for the Republic.WendinThen let the Republic do something for you in return. Go on, take the credits. I insist. |

Memnon DemartusThanks for the rescue. Come on, boys. This job's a bust. Didn't think anyone else was fool enough to wander this pile of rubble. Stupid move, trusting some prig Senator. Jedi Temple's abandoned, he says. No one to fight, only trouble's getting there. What do we find? Battle droids, Imperial commandos, Sith... we're lucky all they did was take our haul and lock us in here to die.Barsen'thorMany Jedi died here. Selling their belongings is disrespectful.Memnon DemartusNone of them tried to stop me. This stuff should go to someone who can use it.MeteorServes you right for stealing from the dead.Memnon DemartusI'm no grave robber. The Senator's got a rightful claim.MeteorDo you know what the Imperials are trying to do?Memnon DemartusBesides attack mercs on a legit job? No idea.Memnon DemartusSenator Starsnow's after a journal that belonged to his dead kid. Some bigwig Jedi, fell during the Sacking. Journal's all that's left of him. I feel for the Senator, and his credits, but those commandos have the journal now. They aren't going to spare us twice.Hero of TythonWe'll take on the commandos. The Senator should have his son's journal.Memnon DemartusWhatever you say, Master Jedi. But the kid's dead - that journal's not going to bring him back. We came in armed to the teeth. You think you can do better, be my guest. Senator Starsnow's waiting near the Senate tower. If you can get that journal back, he'll be expecting you. |
Dialog transcript |
Senator StarsnowWhatever it is, take it up with your local representative. I'm waiting for a very important delivery.Hero of TythonYour son's journal, Senator. There were Imperials in the temple, and your mercs were overwhelmed.Senator StarsnowImperials? In the Jedi Temple? No wonder the mercenaries never returned. The Empire couldn't be after family heirlooms. I must inform the Senate of this. Thank you, Master Jedi. It must have been difficult to enter those ruins, but you've eased a father's pain. This journal is all I have left of my boy. Thank you for finding it. |
