Galen
Before I go, I'm putting all my resources at your disposal. There's a special tactical unit in Black Sun territory.
Experienced security officers who have been fighting those gangsters for months.
Go to these coordinates. Talk to Sergeant Nidaljo. He can help you rescue Doctor Tarnis and get those copied data files.
Hero of Tython
I appreciate all your help.
Galen
It's been a privilege working with you. I'll let him know you're coming.
Don't underestimate the Black Sun gang. They enjoy killing and they're good at it.
Kira's on her way. I'll get her plugged into our security network before I leave. Good luck.

Nidaljo
Corporal, get a kolto pack on that man. The rest of you, prep for evac.
Hero of Tython
Agent Galen sent me. What's happened?
Nidaljo
Black Sun. They're not a gang anymore. They're an army. We were securing a perimeter around their base for you. They hit back with military-grade weapons. Killed six of my men.
Republic Corporal
Seven, sir. Jorin's gone.
Nidaljo
We're not equipped for this fight - not anymore. We can't help you.
Hero of Tython
No need to panic. We'll figure something out.
Nidaljo
All due respect, you don't have a clue what you're up against.
We've been fighting Black Sun for months. Now with new weapons and armor, they're unstoppable.
T7-O1
Jedi + T7 = stop the unstoppable every day
Nidaljo
Look at us. We're half-dead, and they didn't suffer a single casualty. There's no hope of victory.
Hero of Tython
If you surrender now, your soldiers will have died in vain. Is that what you want? What about the man inside that base waiting to be rescued? You'd abandon him? This is a moment of truth, Sergeant. Do you give up and let evil win, or stand up and fight?
Nidaljo
I'll go with you - but I won't ask my men to follow.
Republic Corporal
You don't have to. The Jedi's right. We can't let those scum beat us.
Republic Soldier
Count me in. Always wanted to fight alongside a Jedi.
Nidaljo
You'll need to take down the base's security network so we can get inside. Once the network's down, we'll attack the back entrance. You take the front. We'll rendezvous in the base.
Hero of Tython
Be strong, all of you. I'll see you on the inside.
Nidaljo
Let's double-time it, men! Move, move!

Salarr
Tarnis! We risked everything for you. Stealing those data files, faking your kidnapping... this is how you repay us?
Eli Tarnis
You were compensated with enough weapons and armor to make Black Sun invincible.
Salarr
Invincible? There's a Jedi carving up my base! This is your fault. We never should've trusted a Sith!
Eli Tarnis
If a Jedi has come for you, Salarr, it wasn't my doing.
Hero of Tython
You traitor! You won't get away with betraying the Republic, Doctor Tarnis.
Eli Tarnis
The name is Lord Tarnis. I've shed that old skin.
Hero of Tython
I thought your kidnapping was a little too convenient.
Eli Tarnis
I would have preferred a more graceful exit, but your Masters forced my hand. I have no time for this nonsense. Finish your pointless battle. Coruscant's fate is already sealed.

Nidaljo
Surrender, you scum! We've got you surrounded.
Hero of Tython
This is Sergeant Nidaljo. He's here to arrest you. I suggest you let him.
Salarr
Black Sun doesn't surrender! Kill them all!

Salarr, Hero of Tython, T7-O1, Nidaljo, RS01, RC01

Nidaljo
Can't believe it! We just took down Salarr. Black Sun won't forget that anytime soon. We lost some good soldiers, but this victory gives their deaths meaning.
Hero of Tython
Your men fought bravely. You should be proud.
Nidaljo
Thanks for leading this mission. This is my first time seeing what a Jedi can do. I shouldn't have doubted you.
Black Sun will have reinforcements here soon. Any sign of the man you came to rescue?
Kira Carsen
There you are... we intercepted Salarr's holocall to Tarnis. Can't believe he's a Sith! But that's not the worst news. The Planet Prison prototype here at the lab? A fake. Tarnis stole the real Planet Prison.
Hero of Tython
We have to find him. Trace that holocall you intercepted. Use it to locate our Sith's base of operations.
Kira Carsen
We need you back at the Senate tower. Kira out.
Nidaljo
Sounds like your work is just starting. We won't hold you up. Goodbye, Jedi.

Summary

	This event took place shortly before the end of the Cold War. After the Jedi Knight and Kira Carsen failed to prevent the abduction of Dr. Eli Tarnis by Black Sun, Master Orgus Din tasked his former Padawan with rescuing Tarnis from Black Sun's custody. Master Kiwiiks assigned Kira Carsen to assist with the rescue mission in place of Agent Galen, who was to travel with the Masters to secure key Republic research facilities that had been compromised when the plans for the "Prison Planet" project were stolen. Before leaving, Agent Galen informed the Jedi that there was a special tactical unit in Black Sun territory that had been fighting Black Sun for months. He provided the Jedi with coordinates and told them to meet with Sergeant Nidaljo, who would help rescue Doctor Tarnis and recover the stolen data files. He added that he had provided Kira Carsen with access to the SIS security network. The Jedi and T7 took a taxi and went to the Black Sun Market, the only area in Black Sun territory that was not under the full control of the syndicate. Agent Galen contacted Sergeant Nidaljo and ordered him to take control of the perimeter of Black Sun headquarters before the Jedi arrived. The Jedi arrived at the specified coordinates deep inside the Black Sun territory and discovered that the tactical unit's hideout was under attack. Quickly defeating several of the Black Sun attackers, the Jedi entered the hideout. There were many dead and wounded officers inside. Some of those who were still able cared for the wounded, others quickly drew up a battle plans and decided on further actions. The Jedi met with Nidaljo and learned the full story. The unit had been in the process of securing a perimeter around the syndicate's headquarters, but they had lost six men with over a half a dozen wounded, and were also surrounded by hostile Black Sun forces. Nidaljo had given up hope, but the Knight was able to inspire the sergeant and his men to finish their job: assisting the Jedi and rescuing the doctor. Disabling four security terminals, the Knight and Teeseven knocked out the security network in the Lower Ganglands for the gang's headquarters and attacked the front entrance, while the CSF team assaulted the back entrance. The astromech and the Jedi reached the command center first, where they were surprised to find Salarr in conversation with Tarnis via holocomm. Salarr raged against the doctor for his failure to help them stop the Knight, which revealed that the entire kidnapping plot had been a sham. Tarnis was in fact a Sith Lord who had manipulated both the Republic and Black Sun to his own ends: he had hired Garn to steal the files, and also had Black Sun stage his "kidnapping" so that he could escape from the Senate Tower without suspicion and then acquire the Planet Prison for himself. Before he terminated the call, Tarnis informed the Jedi that Coruscant was doomed. Nidaljo and his men arrived at that moment, and a blaster bolt from one of the officers took down one of Salarr's marauders who was about to shoot the Jedi in the back. The CSF and the Knight defeated Salarr in the fight that followed. Carsen then contacted the Knight via holocomm as she informed the Jedi that the SIS had intercepted Tarnis' transmission. The engineering team for the Planet Prison had disappeared, and the prototype in the lab was a fake - Tarnis had the real weapon. The Knight ordered Carsen to trace Tarnis' transmission before they returned to the Senate Tower while Nidaljo and his men pulled out of the area.
