Jedi Under Siege storyline (5.10)

As dataminers, we have to strike the careful balance between respecting the wishes of the developers, and fulfilling the demands of the community to see future content early.

We agree with the developers that the best way to experience the story for the first time is by playing it in-game once the patch releases. By reading purely the subtitles, you may miss small hints only visible in the cutscenes, and may misinterpret the story. Therefore, we recommend to avoid the spoilers on this page and wait until the patch releases.

Nevertheless, we know that some players do not mind spoilers and want to know the story ahead of time, even if it is incomplete or erroneous. Like Charles Boyd said, players should not read "poorly pasted together text". Therefore, we put in additional work to format the subtitles and added voice-overs. Hopefully, this time there won't be any misinterpretations of the story.

Keep in mind that Keith Kanneg explicitly stated that the developers put some red herrings in the 5.10 data. The dialogue on this page should be accurate since it has been fully-voiced and translated, though until we can fully emulate the cutscenes, we cannot be sure. Be especially careful when looking at other, text-only data from this patch as it may just be a bait and not real content.

Without further ado, a major spoiler warning for what is about to follow. Read the Imperial cutscenes below, or skip to the Republic cutscenes.

Imperial storyline

Scene 0

Moff Pyron: ▶ Greetings... Commander. It has been far too long.
- PLAYER: ▶ Moff Pyron, is that you? Last I heard, you had disappeared into the Outer Rim.
  - Moff Pyron: ▶ Indeed. I'm afraid that, in your absence, I was assigned to employ the Silencer fleet in a secret operation on behalf of Empress Acina herself.
    1. PLAYER: I'm sure you served well. ▶ I understand, Pyron. I'm glad that you're well.
      - Moff Pyron: ▶ And I have been most pleased to learn of your rise to galactic prominence.
        Go to 100
    2. PLAYER: What kind of secret operation? ▶ Sounds intriguing--why don't you tell me about it?
      - Moff Pyron: ▶ I hope to do so--perhaps very soon.
        Go to 100
    3. PLAYER: Time to return to my service. ▶ I'm back now--and have been for some time. You will return to my service immediately.
      - Moff Pyron: ▶ Regrettably, that won't be possible, Commander. You are a valued ally of the Empire, but I no longer report to you. My duty is elsewhere.
        PLAYER: A shame, but I understand. ▶ That is... unfortunate. You will always have a place at my side, should you desire it.
        Moff Pyron: ▶ I am honored, Commander.
        Go to 100
        PLAYER: Ugh, Fine. Whatever. ▶ If you haven't called to return to my side, then why have you called?
        Go to 100
        PLAYER: You would dare to defy me? ▶ You can serve me, or you can suffer.
        Moff Pyron: ▶ I am... flattered... that you find my service so desirable, but I must decline.
        Moff Pyron: ▶ Empress Acina has very specific plans for me. I'm certain she would take it poorly if I were to suddenly... leave.
        Go to 92
        Moff Pyron: ▶ Emperor Vowrawn has very specific plans for me. I'm certain he would take it poorly if I were to suddenly... leave.
        [92] PLAYER: ▶ Well, it would be a shame to upset your new master.
        Moff Pyron: ▶ I'm glad you agree, Commander.
        [100] Moff Pyron: ▶ A situation has arisen--and I believe it presents an opportunity to strengthen the bond between the Empire and your Alliance.
        Go to 19
Moff Pyron: ▶ Greetings, Commander. I am Moff Pyron, overseer of the Sith Empire's twenty-second assault fleet.
1. Moff Pyron: ▶ It is a tremendous honor to speak with a Sith lord of your power and stature, as always. Your past deeds as the Empire's Wrath are truly inspirational.
  - Go to 9
2. Moff Pyron: ▶ When I asked my fellow officers to recommend someone who could... solve... difficult problems, the Champion of the Great Hunt was always their first suggestion.
  - Go to 9
3. Moff Pyron: ▶ Though I have not been made privy to the details of your Intelligence career, what I have heard was quite impressive.
  - [9] Moff Pyron: ▶ That you have risen to the leadership of such an influential galactic faction is only fitting. I hope to strengthen the bond of friendship between your Alliance and the Empire.
    1. PLAYER: Sounds good to me. ▶ I'm glad to hear it. What exactly do you have in mind?
      - Go to 19
    2. PLAYER: What an overly-kind offer. ▶ How very kind of you. Perhaps you could tell me why you're so interested in our friendship?
      - Go to 224
    3. PLAYER: What an overly-kind offer. ▶ Well, isn't that nice. Want to tell me why you're so anxious to be friends?
      - [224] Moff Pyron: ▶ Permit me to explain.
        Go to 19
    4. PLAYER: Don't waste time with flattery. ▶ I don't need to hear about myself. Tell me what you want or stop wasting my time.
      - [19] Moff Pyron: ▶ A small Imperial strike team is currently engaged in a covert operation on the ancient Jedi world of Ossus. I am hoping that you can provide them with some assistance.
        PLAYER: ▶ What kind of assistance?
        Moff Pyron: ▶ The operation is being overseen by a... younger member of the Dark Council. Darth Malora, head of Scientific Advancement.
        Moff Pyron: ▶ While Malora possesses a brilliant mind--not unlike Empress Acina's--she has little of our previous ruler's patience for the subtleties of military operations.
        Go to 240
        Moff Pyron: ▶ While Malora possesses a brilliant mind--not unlike Empress Acina--she has little of Acina's patience for the subtleties of military operations.
        [240] Moff Pyron: ▶ Malora's objective was meant to be completed by now. Pressed to deliver results, she will likely hurl troops at the problem without regard for strategy.
        Moff Pyron: ▶ My finest infantry soldiers, Raven Squad, are participating in the operation. It would be a great loss to the Empire if their lives were wasted.
        PLAYER: Malora--that name is familiar. ▶ Malora... I believe I had dealings with her on Korriban, long ago.
        Moff Pyron: ▶ Ah, good. Then you'll already be one step ahead.
        PLAYER: ▶ I helped her undermine her superior, and I'm not sure that debt was ever fully repaid.
        Moff Pyron: ▶ This would seem an opportune time to collect.
        Go to 42
        PLAYER: ▶ I crushed her efforts to undermine her master. I doubt it ended well for her.
        Moff Pyron: ▶ That... may complicate matters. Unfortunately, I know of no one else capable of resolving this situation.
        Go to 42
        PLAYER: Tell me about Darth Malora. ▶ I'm not sure I've heard of Malora before. Is there anything else you can tell me about her?
        Moff Pyron: ▶ She takes her work very seriously, and has little interest in outside opinions.
        Go to 42
        PLAYER: You're a loyal leader. ▶ Your concern for your soldiers is admirable as always, Pyron.
        Go to 233
        PLAYER: You're a loyal leader. ▶ Your concern for your soldiers is admirable.
        [233] Moff Pyron: ▶ Thank you. I only wish to ensure the Empire's greatest possible success in future operations.
        Go to 42
        PLAYER: All this for a few peons? ▶ You're calling me up just to save a handful of soldiers?
        Moff Pyron: ▶ As I said, they are my most loyal and skillful troops. But my concern extends to the operation as a whole.
        [42] Moff Pyron: ▶ As a member of the Dark Council, Malora is beyond my influence. But someone like yourself, an outsider whose allegiance is greatly valued....
        Moff Pyron: ▶ You could accomplish much that I cannot.
        PLAYER: ▶ I can investigate the situation. What is the strike team's mission on Ossus?
        Go to 50
        PLAYER: ▶ I can look into it for you. What's the strike team's mission on Ossus?
        [50] Moff Pyron: ▶ The Jedi have established a secret colony on the planet. We believe they're using it to train and ready themselves for war.
        Moff Pyron: ▶ The Jedi's numbers are already low. If this training compound can be destroyed, we will be at an inarguable advantage when full-scale hostilities begin.
        PLAYER: And Malora can't handle that? ▶ This seems straightforward enough. Why are you so sure Darth Malora will fail?
        Moff Pyron: ▶ I do not believe she will fail. Her power is not in question. I only fear the cost of that victory.
        Go to 62
        PLAYER: Can we hit them from orbit? ▶ I assume an orbital bombardment is out of the question?
        Moff Pyron: ▶ Approaching Ossus is treacherous for large ships. The effort would be time consuming, allowing the Jedi opportunity to escape and creating a weakness in our fleets' disposition elsewhere.
        Go to 62
        PLAYER: I do love killing Jedi. ▶ A mission to kill Jedi... it's been too long.
        Moff Pyron: ▶ Indeed. When our ancient enemies are swept away, the Sith Empire's victory will be assured.
        [62] Moff Pyron: ▶ I will forward all of my available data on Malora and the operation.
        Moff Pyron: ▶ Your assistance will no doubt ensure the mission's success. I am certain that Empress Acina will be most appreciative.
        Go to 68
        Moff Pyron: ▶ Your assistance will no doubt ensure the mission's success. I am certain that Emperor Vowrawn will be most appreciative.
        [68] Moff Pyron: ▶ Thank you for your time, Commander. I shall look forward to word of your triumph. Glory to the Empire!
        PLAYER: ▶ Glory to the Empire, Moff.
        Go to 110
        PLAYER: ▶ We'll see about that, Moff....
        [110] Lana Beniko: ▶ I would recommend that you travel to Ossus alone. We wouldn't want Malora or her troops to see this as a show of force, or confuse her with... unexpected allies.
        Theron Shan: ▶ Translation: definitely don't take the former Republic spy, or anyone else they might be inclined to shoot on sight.
        Lana Beniko: ▶ It is important to make a good first impression.
        Theron Shan: ▶ Great, we're back on the haircut....
        PLAYER: ▶ I don't like the idea of being apart from you again.
        Theron Shan: ▶ Neither do I, but this is the path forward for you. Just don't go too hard on my old babysitters, huh?
        Go to 118
        Go to 123
        Go to 118
        PLAYER: ▶ Meaning Alliance members from the Republic?
        Lana Beniko: ▶ Precisely.
        [123] PLAYER: ▶ Surely you could come with me, Lana.
        Lana Beniko: ▶ I would love nothing more, but I'm not especially popular with my fellow Sith. I don't know Malora, but I'd rather not chance it.
        Go to 118
        [118] Lana Beniko: ▶ I'll see that a shuttle is prepared for you. May the Force serve you well, Commander.

Scene 1

[1] Major Anri: ▶ No sudden moves, if you please!
- PLAYER: ▶ I'm here to help.
  - Major Anri: ▶ That a fact?
    - PLAYER: ▶ At the request of Moff Pyron.
      - Major Anri: ▶ Well... that's a different story. You do look familiar, somehow...
        Major Anri: ▶ We work together before?
        Darth Malora: ▶ This ruckus is intolerable! I am trying to concentrate! What is the meaning of all this?
        Darth Malora: ▶ You... I should've known some glory-hound like you would slither their way into my grandest achievement. Just what business does the Alliance have here, "Commander"?
        PLAYER: Hello again, Malora. ▶ It's clear that you've... grown... since our last encounter. How long has it been?
        Darth Malora: ▶ If you've come here to profit by some long-in-the-past debt, you're going to be sorely disappointed.
        Go to 22
        Darth Malora: ▶ Not long enough. You're fortunate that others value your life more than I do.
        Go to 22
        PLAYER: This isn't much of a welcome. ▶ First I have blasters pointed at me, and now this. Why so much hostility?
        Darth Malora: ▶ This is not a camp of fools. Your intent here is plain for all to see.
        Go to 22
        PLAYER: I'm here to help, nothing more. ▶ I'm here to assist any way that I can. The Alliance wants to help make this mission a success.
        Darth Malora: ▶ Such generosity! How could I possibly refuse such a selfless offer?
        Darth Malora: ▶ I'm sure the major could use your help with... something or other.
        Go to 24
        PLAYER: Don't question me. ▶ I'm here to see that this mission gets done. If that's not why you're here, then get out of my way.
        Darth Malora: ▶ Of all the presumptuous, arrogant....
        [22] Darth Malora: ▶ This is my operation. I will see it done my way. If you feel you can contribute, I'm sure the major can use your help for... something or other.
        [24] Darth Malora: ▶ Whatever you end up doing... do it quietly. I need to focus on my creations.
        Major Anri: ▶ Her "creations" are just as likely to get us killed as any Jedi. Idiot.
        PLAYER: What exactly is going on here? ▶ Why don't you tell me more about what's happening here, Major?
        Major Anri: ▶ Our odds of success are going up by the second, that's what. Now that you're here, we might get some real work done.
        Go to 86
        PLAYER: Know your place, grunt. ▶ You would dare to insult a Sith--a member of the Dark Council?
        Major Anri: ▶ Well, not to her face, obviously.
        PLAYER: ▶ Choose your next joke carefully.
        Major Anri: ▶ Or I die for my insolence? Typical... fine. Forget I said it, never question my betters, wash behind my lekku, I know the drill.
        Go to 86
        Major Anri: ▶ Or I die for my insolence? We don't have time for this. You here to kill your allies, or the Jedi?
        PLAYER: Act like the soldier you are. ▶ I'm here to fulfill the mission. If you can carry yourself like a soldier of the Sith Empire, we will have no problems.
        Major Anri: ▶ I can play nice if you can.
        Go to 41
        PLAYER: Enough. [Force Choke Anri] ▶ I have time for both.
        Major Anri: ▶ Friends are always better than enemies.
        Ossus Mission: [You have failed to win the trust of your former comrades. Try again?]
        PLAYER: [Retry]
        Go to 1
        PLAYER: [Exit]
        PLAYER: You actually question a Sith? ▶ The Empire has changed. In my day, nobody would have talked about a Sith like that.
        Major Anri: ▶ Sith who do what they're supposed to--win--they're fine by me. But the crazy ones that only care about their own weird obsessions, I could do without.
        Go to 86
        PLAYER: Malora is a useless fool. ▶ I'm inclined to kill her before we even get started.
        Major Anri: ▶ Maybe you could get away with something like that, but if a Dark Councilor gets killed on my watch, it'll be paperwork all the way to the chopping block.
        [86] Major Anri: ▶ Let's buckle down, huh?
        [41] Major Anri: ▶ Objective is to trash the Republic colony, take out all the Jedi we can find. We got troops ready, willing, and able.
        Major Anri: ▶ Does Her Sithly Eminence send us to do that? Or does she hold us all back while she works on her little science project?
        PLAYER: ▶ Science project?
        Major Anri: ▶ Geonosians. Mutated, turbo-charged, psycho Geonosians. They're killers, she got that much right... they just don't care who they're killing, Imp or Rep.
        Major Anri: ▶ Buggy freaks clipped one of my boys, Brax, while he was out on patrol--no comms, and he hasn't made it back.
        Major Anri: ▶ Dead or alive, his gear's got info that could give away our position. Can't risk that. Was just about to go looking for him--care to join?
        PLAYER: Count me in. ▶ I'd be happy to help, Major. Just point the way.
        Go to 89
        PLAYER: Why hasn't the search started? ▶ You don't have search parties out already?
        Major Anri: ▶ Would have, if you hadn't parked your shuttle in the middle of our briefing.
        Go to 91
        Go to 96
        PLAYER: Beats hanging out with Malora. ▶ Sounds better than staying here. Why not?
        [89] Major Anri: ▶ Great.
        [91] Major Anri: ▶ Just one thing, before we go--you're not gonna snake us like you did Acina on Iokath, are you? Need to know you're not backing the Republic this time.
        PLAYER: Iokath was a mistake. ▶ Iokath was a mistake from the beginning. I regret everything that happened.
        Major Anri: ▶ All right... for now.
        Go to 48
        PLAYER: Acina betrayed me first. ▶ Acina betrayed my trust--and I did what I had to. Keep that in mind, Major.
        Major Anri: ▶ I don't need your killing-people bona fides. Just watching out for my team.
        Go to 48
        PLAYER: I don't answer to you. ▶ Don't question me, Major. Ever.
        Major Anri: ▶ Yeah, how could I ever have trouble trusting you? That'd just be daft of me.
        [48] Major Anri: ▶ Ready to go whenever you are. Commander.
        [96] Major Anri: ▶ I'm ready to go whenever you are, Commander.

Scene 2

Major Anri: ▶ Still in one piece, Sergeant?
- Sergeant Brax: ▶ Not quite, Major, but close enough. Thanks for the save--thank you both.
  - Sergeant Brax: ▶ Pardon, it's been a long day, but are you... is that who I think it is?
    - Major Anri: ▶ Aww, little Braxy doesn't think he's worthy of a celebrity rescue.
      - Sergeant Brax: ▶ Such a weird day.... Honor to meet you, Commander.
        PLAYER: Likewise, Sergeant. ▶ You did well to survive alone against so many of those creatures.
        Major Anri: ▶ Knock it off, you'll make the poor boy blush.
        Go to 37
        PLAYER: Pyron was afraid of this. ▶ Moff Pyron was afraid your squad's talent would be wasted, or that you'd be killed due to Malora's incompetence. He was right.
        Major Anri: ▶ We're just lucky her mutants are no match for a trio of real killers, eh?
        Go to 37
        PLAYER: Were you worth my time? ▶ I hope I've done more with my time today than save one grunt from a swarm of angry bugs.
        [37] Major Anri: ▶ Braxy is probably my top scout--we'd be in a real mess without him.
        Sergeant Brax: ▶ Hey! "Probably"?
        Major Anri: ▶ So impress me, why don't you?
        Sergeant Brax: ▶ Well, as a matter of fact... you know anything about a stealth supply drop coming in today?
        Major Anri: ▶ Nothing on the schedule. You saw one come in?
        Sergeant Brax: ▶ I did. Landed near here. Was on my way there when the bugs pinned me down.
        Major Anri: ▶ Only thing you're on your way to is a bacta tank. We'll check out the supply drop site. You up for a bit more action, Commander?
        PLAYER: ▶ What kind of supplies are you expecting?
        Major Anri: ▶ Wasn't expecting any. It's probably more lab toys for Malora, but maybe we'll luck out. Wouldn't mind some new gear.
        Major Anri: ▶ Either way, we'd best find it before the Jedi do. Your ride's on its way, Brax--we'll see you back in camp.
        Sergeant Brax: ▶ Much obliged.

Scene 3

PLAYER: ▶ Can you open it?
- Major Anri: ▶ Hmm... doesn't look like it. My authorization code won't cut it. Gonna have to be Malora.
  - Major Anri: ▶ Speaking of... we should try to convince her to let us make a play for the Jedi's farming data.
    - Major Anri: ▶ If the Jedi could grow food here, they could grow it anywhere--we nab their data and wipe their computers, that could be us instead.
      - Major Anri: ▶ We grow more food, we feed more soldiers, we win more battles. Huge advantage.
        PLAYER: ▶ I couldn't agree more. We'll gather what the Jedi have learned, then make sure they can't use it.
        Major Anri: ▶ I'm seeing why you're so popular, Commander.
        Go to 101
        PLAYER: ▶ Our mission is to wipe out the Jedi--if we forget that, or lose focus, we put this operation at risk.
        Major Anri: ▶ Trees instead of forest... whatever you say, Commander.
        [101] Major Anri: ▶ Let's call in a speeder, get this thing back to camp....
        Go to 86
[86] Darth Malora: ▶ I didn't order any supply drop. I don't like this. Not one bit.
- Darth Malora: ▶ It's a trick. Another distraction. Something sent by a rival, someone trying to undermine the operation. I won't fall for it.
  1. PLAYER: You don't know that for sure. ▶ That's possible, but the risk seems very low. Why ignore something that could help?
    - Darth Malora: ▶ Why risk anything when we are so close to our goal? No, no... no one is touching this pod.
      - Go to 12
  2. PLAYER: I don't answer to you. ▶ Ramble all you want. I'm opening it, one way or another.
    - Darth Malora: ▶ No! No, we're so close! The operation is well underway!
      - Go to 12
  3. PLAYER: You're a paranoid fool. ▶ So you're not just stupid, but paranoid, too?
    - Darth Malora: ▶ Only a fool assumes no one wants them dead.
      - Darth Malora: ▶ No, no... no one is going to open this pod. No one is going to touch this pod. The operation is well underway.
        [12] PLAYER: ▶ Your "super soldiers" are out of control.
        Darth Malora: ▶ A minor setback that I have already overcome.
        Darth Malora: ▶ I have formulated a mutative virus that will alter the Geonosians' olfactory membranes and adrenal cortices, making them susceptible to pheromone interventions.
        Darth Malora: ▶ Once the Geonosians have all been altered by the virus, controlling them will be simple.
        Darth Malora: ▶ One batch of pheromones on our troops will mark them as friends. Another can be used to guide the creatures toward our enemies.
        Darth Malora: ▶ We need only infect the Geonosian queen and her six brood-mates with my custom viral strains... that will spread the changes throughout their population.
        Darth Malora: ▶ I've color-coded the injectors, such that even the simplest minds can employ them. Red for the brood-mates, blue for the queen.
        Darth Malora: ▶ The queen's body mass is significantly larger, with a proportionally stronger immune system. Multiple doses will be essential to achieve the necessary viral load.
        Darth Malora: ▶ Of course, accessing the queen's chambers will be a challenge. Suicidal, even, if her three bodyguard drones aren't killed first.
        Darth Malora: ▶ We'll need to lure them away and kill them apart from the queen. A subharmonic interphasing emitter should draw their attention quite effectively. Now, where to find one....
        Darth Malora: ▶ No! Impossible! You... died!
        Darth Malgus: ▶ I am Darth Malgus. I speak with the full power of the Sith Empire. And I am in command, now.
        Darth Malgus: ▶ You... I wasn't expecting you to be a part of this operation. I trust you share our goal: the complete eradication of all Jedi on this planet.
        PLAYER: I'm glad to work with you. ▶ It will be an honor to fight by your side again.
        Darth Malgus: ▶ Unexpected words, from the one who cast me to my death. But I accept them.
        Go to 52
        Darth Malgus: ▶ With our combined strength, there are none who can oppose us.
        Go to 52
        PLAYER: What, no grudge? ▶ Yes--but I destroyed your uprising. Defeated you in battle. I have a hard time believing that none of that matters to you.
        Go to 42
        PLAYER: What, no grudge? ▶ Sure--but I took down your uprising, and you along with it. Doesn't seem like you'd forgive and forget so easily.
        [42] Darth Malgus: ▶ You have proven your strength. Beyond that, our past dealings are irrelevant.
        Go to 52
        PLAYER: Alive, after all? ▶ Malora wasn't the only one who thought you were dead.
        Darth Malgus: ▶ I was--or near enough. But that isn't important now.
        Go to 52
        PLAYER: You aren't taking charge--I am. ▶ I think this operation would be better off with me running things.
        Darth Malgus: ▶ These are Imperial troops, operating an Imperial base--they are not yours to command.
        [52] Darth Malgus: ▶ Too much time has been wasted already. We will begin by blinding and silencing our enemy. Who is the ranking military officer?
        Major Anri: ▶ Here, my lord. Major Anri.
        Darth Malgus: ▶ All Jedi communications and sensors must be jammed before we attack. Take as many soldiers as you need to complete this task.
        Major Anri: ▶ I'll only need one person to get that job done. Commander--would you be so kind?
        PLAYER: Gladly. ▶ Let's get this operation back on track.
        Go to 64
        PLAYER: Do you approve, Malgus? ▶ As long as Lord Malgus doesn't have other plans for me.
        Darth Malgus: ▶ I do not. We should all be as wise as the major in choosing our allies.
        [64] Major Anri: ▶ Ready when you are, Commander.
        PLAYER: [Taunt Malgus] ▶ I'd be glad to do something useful so that Malgus can focus on his posturing.
        Darth Malgus: ▶ I'll be assessing the progress made before my arrival. I'm sure, with your help, it was extensive.
        Major Anri: ▶ And, on that note... ready when you are, Commander.

Scene 4

Major Anri: ▶ Looks like you can shut their sensors down from there. I'm going to do a quick sweep--see if you can't find a copy of their farming data while you're at it?
1. Jonas Balkar: ▶ Data received. This is going to make a huge difference to people across the Republic... great job.
  - Go to 42
2. NR-02: ▶ Data received. I am now infiltrating the Jedi computer system. All data on their crop and soil rejuvenation programs will be copied and then deleted.
  - NR-02: ▶ You have served the Empire well. Congratulations, Commander.
    - [42] Major Anri: ▶ Are we set?
      - Major Anri: ▶ Raven to Nest. Job's done, enemy is dark.
        Darth Malgus: ▶ Excellent. All units are prepared. We have traced the bulk of the Jedi to an ancient library--that is our objective.
        PLAYER: ▶ Coordinates received. We'll meet you there.
        Darth Malgus: ▶ For the Empire!
        Darth Malora: ▶ The library. The whole reason I accepted this pitiful assignment....
        PLAYER: ▶ You survived.
        Darth Malora: ▶ I never would have made the Dark Council if a little shove were enough to kill me.
        Major Anri: ▶ What's so special about the library?
        Darth Malora: ▶ Knowledge. Research and documentation of long-forgotten techniques, gathered from both the Jedi and the Sith.
        Darth Malora: ▶ Not to worry. I won't stand in your way. Complete the mission... I will simply pick over the remains for what I seek.
        PLAYER: You could rejoin us. ▶ Come back with us--we can finish this together.
        Darth Malora: ▶ If Malgus had leave to remove me from command, then my time as a Dark Council member is over. I will not return.
        Darth Malora: ▶ I'm surprised you would even ask.
        Go to 48
        PLAYER: Where will you go? ▶ If you aren't going back to the Empire, what are you going to do?
        Darth Malora: ▶ Lie low, continue my research as best I can... why should you care?
        [48] PLAYER: You could join the Alliance. ▶ My Alliance could use your knowledge. I think you and Doctor Oggurobb would get along well.
        Darth Malora: ▶ An intriguing offer. Unexpected, but intriguing. I'll consider it.
        Go to 25
        [49] PLAYER: Loose ends can cause problems. ▶ I just want to be sure you won't be a threat in the future.
        Darth Malora: ▶ I want nothing futher to do with you. Go on with your mission... but keep one thing in mind.
        Go to 28
        Go to 27
        Go to 49
        PLAYER: You really are weak. ▶ You aren't even going to try to stand up to Malgus? How did someone like you get onto the Dark Council?
        Darth Malora: ▶ When you study the creatures of the galaxy as I have, you come to learn that there is always a bigger fish.
        [25] Darth Malora: ▶ Get on with your work... but know this.
        [28] Darth Malora: ▶ When Acina put Malgus back together, she also put him on a leash. Vowrawn may hold the leash now, but he is not the only one who can pull it.
        Go to 29
        [27] Darth Malora: ▶ Empress Acina may have Malgus on a leash, but that does not make her the only one who can pull it.
        [29] Major Anri: ▶ Strange lady, that one. Any luck with the farming data?
        PLAYER: ▶ None. If they have records, they aren't here.
        Major Anri: ▶ Blast. Could've fed an awful lot of troops.
        Go to 61
        PLAYER: ▶ I found everything we need. I've already sent it to Imperial command.
        Major Anri: ▶ Outstanding! You don't know what a difference this is going to make. Reps will be too busy fighting for scraps to fight us.
        [61] Major Anri: ▶ All right--time to hit the library.

Scene 5

Darth Malgus: ▶ Commander. Major Anri.
- PLAYER: ▶ What's your plan?
  - Darth Malgus: ▶ Not a plan--a proposition.
    - Darth Malgus: ▶ You came to Ossus to aid our mission. As the galaxy marches to war, you fight to see our Empire triumph over its ancient enemies.
      - Darth Malgus: ▶ Together, you and I can strike the first blow in that battle. We will find the leader of these Jedi, Gnost-Dural, and defeat him.
        Darth Malgus: ▶ We will show the galaxy that no Jedi can stand against our combined might. Just as the Republic cannot stand against the combined might of the Empire and your Alliance.
        PLAYER: I am honored. ▶ Our enemies will remember this moment as the beginning of their end.
        Go to 15
        PLAYER: Let's hunt. ▶ They thought they could hide from us. They were dead wrong.
        Go to 15
        PLAYER: I'm not here for a massacre. ▶ I will help you defeat the Jedi. But I will not help you slaughter every last one of them.
        Go to 21
        PLAYER: I'm not here for a massacre. ▶ I'll help you take this place down, but I'm not going to help you kill every single person in it.
        [21] Darth Malgus: ▶ You may fight your way--but I will show no mercy.
        Go to 15
        PLAYER: Try not to fall behind. ▶ Fine by me--I just hope you can keep up with me.
        Darth Malgus: ▶ Grrrr....
        [15] Darth Malgus: ▶ Major--take the rest of the troops and sweep the building. Eradicate all who oppose you.
        Darth Malgus: ▶ We will do the same.

Scene 6

Darth Malgus: ▶ Jedi Master Gnost-Dural.
- Master Gnost-Dural: ▶ Darth Malgus. Alive and well. This explains the sudden shift to more aggressive tactics against us.
  - Master Gnost-Dural: ▶ And you must be the commander of the Alliance. Ultimate destroyer of the Sith Emperor. A story I would have loved to document.
    - Master Gnost-Dural: ▶ A pity that two such influential leaders would waste their potential by traveling here just to burn some old books and kill an old man.
      1. PLAYER: Stalling won't change anything. ▶ You can play for time if you want, but there's no help coming.
        Master Gnost-Dural: ▶ In that case....
        Go to 12
      2. PLAYER: Surrender. ▶ No one has to die here. Surrender.
        Master Gnost-Dural: ▶ History will not remember me as the one who surrendered to evil without a fight.
        Go to 12
      3. PLAYER: You think this is about you? ▶ We're here to root out all of the Jedi--didn't you hear the screams?
        Master Gnost-Dural: ▶ Only the weak choose fear as their weapon.
        Go to 12
      4. PLAYER: At least you know you'll lose. ▶ For once, someone who knows they can't win. Any last words, Jedi?
        Master Gnost-Dural: ▶ None that would pierce your veil of aggressive ignorance.
        [12] Master Gnost-Dural: ▶ Let's find out if you can live up to your respective legends.
        Darth Malgus: ▶ So be it. Jedi.

Scene 7

Master Gnost-Dural: ▶ Kao Cen Darach... Ven Zallow....
1. Master Gnost-Dural: ▶ Nomen Karr... Darth Baras... Tenebrae....
  - Go to 8
2. Master Gnost-Dural: ▶ Darth Zash... Darth Thanaton... Tenebrae....
  - Go to 8
3. Master Gnost-Dural: ▶ Kellian Jarro... Jun Seros... Tenebrae....
  - Go to 8
4. Master Gnost-Dural: ▶ Darth Jadus... Tenebrae... dozens of others I could never confirm....
  - [8] Master Gnost-Dural: ▶ It seems I'll be meeting my fate in distinguished company....
    - Darth Malgus: ▶ Left to me, this library would be your grave, Jedi. But your fate is in the Commander's hands.
      1. PLAYER: He will be a valuable prisoner. ▶ This Jedi knows everything there is to know about our enemies. He's much more valuable alive.
        Darth Malgus: ▶ Very shrewd. He will "educate" us in ways he never imagined.
        Darth Malgus: ▶ Take him away. Have the other surviving troops rally outside.
        Imperial Soldier: ▶ Right away, my lord!
        Go to 25
      2. PLAYER: Kill him. ▶ I'd say you have the right idea. Kill him before he bores us to death with another lecture.
        Darth Malgus: ▶ We've finished here. Rally the surviving troops outside.
        Imperial Soldier: ▶ Yes, my lord!
        [25] Darth Malgus: ▶ Starfighters...
        PLAYER: ▶ Bombers--they're attacking the camp!
        Darth Malgus: ▶ Major--all troops--return to base at once!
        Go to 34
[34] Darth Malgus: ▶ Our losses, Major?
1. Major Anri: ▶ Bad. Very bad, my lord. Too many to count... not to mention gear, supplies, our fighter escorts... going to be hard to hold this position.
  - Darth Malgus: ▶ Then these troops will work hard. We have won a great victory today--we will not be chased from this world so soon.
    1. Go to 46
    2. Go to 47
2. Major Anri: ▶ We lost a lot of equipment, some gear and supplies... several of our troops stationed on lookout. But it could've been much, much worse.
  - Darth Malgus: ▶ Then we stand our ground. We have won a great victory today--this trifling attack will not chase us away.
    1. [46] Darth Malgus: ▶ Major--see that Gnost-Dural is transported to the holding facility at Vaiken Spacedock.
      - Go to 50
    2. [47] Darth Malgus: ▶ Major--see that images of Gnost-Dural's corpse are transmitted to the enemy.
      - [50] Major Anri: ▶ Aye, my lord. Commander--thank you for everything. It's been a real honor.
        PLAYER: I feel the same way. ▶ Likewise, Major. I hope we can work together again someday.
        Major Anri: ▶ Fine by me--all this fighting's easy with you around. So long.
        Go to 56
        PLAYER: [Flirt] Keep in touch. ▶ If you ever need my help again... I'm all yours.
        Major Anri: ▶ Well... I just may. Farewell.
        Go to 56
        PLAYER: Whatever, get lost. ▶ I'm so glad. Get moving, Major.
        Major Anri: ▶ Yeah. Right away.
        [56]
        Imperial Soldier: ▶ My lord! Incoming broadcast from Empress Acina!
        Empress Acina: ▶ Malgus. I'm told you have a rather intriguing gift for me?
        Darth Malgus: ▶ Indeed, Empress. A Jedi Master: Gnost-Dural. Their order's historian, with vast knowledge of both Jedi and Republic operations.
        Empress Acina: ▶ A worthy prize! Though I've learned of another--one of equal value to the war ahead.
        Go to 119
        Empress Acina: ▶ Malgus. I'm told you've completed your task in customarily ruthless fashion?
        Darth Malgus: ▶ We have slain countless Jedi, including the overseer of this colony: Gnost-Dural. His loss will cut our enemies deeply.
        Empress Acina: ▶ Impressive work, indeed. But I've learned of an equally fascinating opportunity.
        [119] Empress Acina: ▶ Though it appears to have escaped your notice, the Jedi successfully raised numerous crops on that dead planet.
        Empress Acina: ▶ Whatever techniques they applied there could have been seized and applied to generate plentiful food for our troops in this time of severe shortages.
        Empress Acina: ▶ Fortunately, the Alliance Commander was more attentive, and captured the data from the Jedi computers. Well done, Commander--you've ensured a strong Imperial military for years to come.
        PLAYER: ▶ I'm glad that I could be of service, Empress.
        Go to 127
        Empress Acina: ▶ Unfortunate that you could not secure such valuable data. Our soldiers tend to win more battles when they're sure of their next meal.
        [127] Darth Malgus: ▶ And what of the remaining Jedi, Empress?
        Empress Acina: ▶ Our ships have detected shuttles evacuating in droves. They will intercept as many as possible, and we will leave a meager force to protect against further incursions.
        Empress Acina: ▶ Your mission on Ossus is over. Return to me at once, so that we may... prepare you for your next assignment.
        Empress Acina: ▶ Commander--your assistance is, as always, deeply appreciated. The Sith Empire is made stronger by its ties to your Alliance.
        Empress Acina: ▶ Our renewed war against the Republic has only just begun--but I am certain that you will become our greatest asset in the battles to come. Farewell.
        Go to 139
        Imperial Soldier: ▶ My lord! Incoming broadcast from Emperor Vowrawn!
        Emperor Vowrawn: ▶ Malgus! How delightful. Is it true that you've acquired a special new guest for our interrogators?
        Darth Malgus: ▶ That is correct, Emperor. Gnost-Dural, a Jedi Master and expert in Republic personnel and operations, is now our prisoner.
        Emperor Vowrawn: ▶ Delicious. I hope to have a chance to speak with him myself. But there's something else I've been hoping for as well.
        Go to 151
        Emperor Vowrawn: ▶ Malgus! Splendid. The dark side roils about you as deeply as ever. I take that to mean you've had a... productive day?
        Darth Malgus: ▶ Yes, Emperor. Countless Jedi lie dead, including the leader of their colony here, Master Gnost-Dural. His death will shake them to their core.
        Emperor Vowrawn: ▶ I do enjoy it when you savor your work so fully. But there is something more.
        [151] Emperor Vowrawn: ▶ Farms! Not as intriguing as our eternal enemies, perhaps, but a crucial element in any wartime logistical structure. Soldiers must be fed, after all!
        Emperor Vowrawn: ▶ Apparently, the Jedi had extensive farms on Ossus--a world that shouldn't support crops of any kind. How could they have achieved this marvel?
        Emperor Vowrawn: ▶ Thanks to the Alliance Commander, our scientists have the answer--data from the Jedi's own computers. Our soldiers shall be well-fed in the campaigns to come.
        PLAYER: ▶ I'm glad that I could be of service, Emperor.
        Go to 160
        Emperor Vowrawn: ▶ Sadly, you did not find the answer. We shall never know how much more vigorously our soldiers might have fought if they only had full bellies to fuel them.
        [160] Darth Malgus: ▶ And what of the remaining Jedi, Emperor?
        Emperor Vowrawn: ▶ The fleet has detected them scattering like insects. We will intercept those we can, and leave a token force behind to defend Ossus from any future trespassers.
        Emperor Vowrawn: ▶ For you, dear Malgus, the mission is over. Return at once. We have some... preparations to attend to.
        Emperor Vowrawn: ▶ Now then--Commander. My dear old friend. Where you go, victory is always soon to follow--the aid of your Alliance is much appreciated.
        Go to 170
        Emperor Vowrawn: ▶ Now then--Commander. It is a pleasure to speak with you directly at last. The Sith Empire owes you and your Alliance a great debt of gratitude.
        [170] Emperor Vowrawn: ▶ We have only just begun this fresh war with the Republic. But someday soon, when our ultimate triumph comes, I am certain that you will be leading the charge. Farewell.
        [139] Darth Malgus: ▶ I must prepare to depart immediately.
        PLAYER: Be proud of this victory. ▶ You've won a major victory today, Malgus. I'm glad I could fight beside you again after all these years.
        Darth Malgus: ▶ I... thank you, Commander.
        Go to 180
        PLAYER: Why do you serve Acina? ▶ I can't understand why you're willing to be another one of Acina's servants.
        Go to 179
        PLAYER: Why do you serve Vowrawn? ▶ I can't understand why you would bow to someone like Vowrawn.
        [179] Darth Malgus: ▶ You should hope that you never do.
        Go to 180
        PLAYER: Hope you don't expect a hug. ▶ Well... bye.
        Darth Malgus: ▶ Hmmph.
        [180] Darth Malgus: ▶ Today, we began a war--one that I have already fought twice.
        Darth Malgus: ▶ Twice our Empire has set the galaxy ablaze. Twice we have tried to burn away the hypocrisies and weaknesses of the Republic and their Jedi. Twice we have failed.
        Darth Malgus: ▶ We must not fail again, Commander--for there is precious little tinder left to keep our fire burning.
        Darth Malgus: ▶ Farewell.
