Taris had been a thriving city-planet until the Sith Lord | Sith LordMiscellaneousRanks | Darth Malak | Malak(Human)CharacterMajor Characters | ordered an orbital bombardment over 300 years before in an attempt to kill the Jedi Knight | Jedi KnightMiscellaneousRanks | Bastila Shan | Bastila Shan(Human)CharacterMajor Characters | . Over the last three centuries, the wreckage of the city had become overgrown, and the world was now a tangle of jungle and metal, haunted by wild beasts, including vicious creatures known as rakghouls | RakghoulCreatureNon-sentient | . Recently, the Republic | Galactic RepublicOrganizationGalaxy-Wide Organizations | had started a resettlement initiative supported by the Republic Army | Republic ArmyOrganizationGalactic Republic (GGW, CW and GW) | , and the reconstruction efforts had seen progress under the leadership of the Governor Leontyne Saresh | Leontyne Saresh(Twi'lek)CharacterSupporting Characters | .The Knight arrived on Taris and contacted General Suthra via ship's holoterminal. Suthra asked Jedi to track down Doctor Godera, a brilliant scientist who used to serve the Republic and was the original creator of the different technologies that the Republic superweapon division | Superweapon Research DivisionOrganizationGalactic Republic (GGW, CW and GW) | later weaponized during the Cold War under Suthra's leadership, including the Planet Prison. He instructed the Knight to rendezvous with a squad he sent to one of Godera's known hideouts in the Republic Resettlement Zone.Imperial Intelligence | Imperial Intelligence (Sith Empire)OrganizationReconstituted Sith Empire | also discovered Godera's location and sent a task force to capture him. Led by Watcher One | Watcher One(Human)CharacterSupporting Characters | , shadow operatives infiltrated the hideout and, after destroying Godera's defense droids. While searching through the hideout looking for Godera, they came across Suthra's squad, and, with surprise on their side, the operatives quickly killed the Republic squad. Then they used the facility's tracking relays to trace Godera's bioscan to another laboratory. Watcher One left after destroying the central computer to prevent others from doing the same, leaving his men behind to guard the lab.The Jedi and companions | Hero of Tython's FollowersOrganizationTemporary Unions | soon arrived to the hideout and fought their way through the Imperial forces that they encountered as they descended into the now-wrecked lab, and defeating Imperial shadow operatives, commando and stalker droids | AT-A01 Assassin DroidDroidOld Republic Assassin Droid classes | as they cleared the lab of hostiles. An Imperial assassin and two assassin droids | SREC-A01 Assassin DroidDroidOld Republic Assassin Droid classes | ambushed them on the lower level, but they too were defeated.The assassin had been speaking with Watcher One via a holoprojector, and Watcher One - already on his way to Godera's location - addressed the intruders as they approached the device. The agent also contacted his forces nearby and dispatched a number of operatives and droids to the lab. Speaking to the Jedi, Watcher One began to stall for time so that his operatives could get into place, revealing his knowledge of the Jedi's exploits on Tython | TythonPlanet | as a way of undermining the Knight's confidence. When the Knight brushed off Watcher One's comments, Watcher One ordered his operatives to decloak and take out the Jedi before he terminated the transmission. Despite their advantage of surprise, however, the three Imperial operatives and two droids who attacked the Knight were ultimately defeated by the Jedi and Knight's companions.After defeating Watcher One's forces, the Jedi was greeted by Godera's droid assistant RE-M0 | RE-M0(BMF-GNK-A01 Droid)CharacterDroids | , who had remained hidden when the Imperials attacked the lab. RE-M0 reported that the Imperials tracked Godera's biosignature to locate the Doctor and then sabotaged the equipment. RE-M0 and Knight agreed that while RE-M0 repaired the equipment, Knight would reset external tracking relays around the area, allowing them to track Godera's location and save him.Read more... |
