Mission to the Star Chamber During the Galactic War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire , the former Imperial Intelligence operative Cipher Nine undertook a mission to the Star Chamber , the headquarters of the secret conspiracy known as the Star Cabal . Prelude . During the Cold War , the Imperial Agent , codename Cipher Nine , was assigned to infiltrate Ardun Kothe ' s SIS team as a supposed defector . However , Kothe wasn ' t convinced and used a brainwashing code on Nine to force the agent to do his bidding . Curiously , the code was Imperial not Republic . With help from Watcher X , Nine was able to break free before killing Kothe and obtain the Shadow Arsenal the former Jedi was seeking to use against the Sith Empire . However , a member of Kothe ' s team , codename Hunter , revealed himself to be working for a third party and had sent an Imperial bombing squadron to destroy the facility where the arsenal was being held , though the agent escaped . Nine returned to Dromund Kaas to meet with the Minister of Intelligence , who was curious as to how Kothe and Hunter knew the agent ' s brainwashing code . Thus , the agent took up the task of discovering the identity of the third party , eventually discovered to be called the Star Cabal . The agent ' s search went to Belsavis and Voss . The conspiracy retaliated by first leaking Nine ' s identity to any who had an axe to grind with the agent , hide a virus in a holomessage to incapacitate Imperial Intelligence ' s genetically enhanced Watchers before using their influence to dissolve the organization entirely . Using the last of his influence , the Minister of Intelligence secretly assembled the loyal members of Intelligence to track down the Star Cabal . He arranged for Cipher Nine to transfer under Lord Razer , who was leading the battle for Corellia , where most of the Star Cabal ' s resources were focused on . The conspiracy intended for both Republic and Empire to annihilate each other , thereby destroying both Jedi and Sith , allowing the " ordinary " people to rule once more . Nine allowed themselves to be captured by the conspirators and fed false information under torture that Imperial reinforcements were en route to Corellia led by a Sith Lord , greatly upsetting the conspiracy ' s plan . The agent then escaped before faking their death . Nine rendezvous with the Intelligence flagship , " Tenebrous " , where the operatives have traced the Star Cabal ' s headquarters in the Null Zone . The Minister personally ordered the Cipher agent to infiltrate the station , kill any conspirators and obtain their secrets so the Empire can hunt down their remaining membership not onboard the station . Skirmish aboard the Star Chamber . Nine managed to infiltrate the Star Chamber without alerting suspicion . Finding a hiding spot overlooking the conspiracy ' s meeting room , the agent spotted any present conspirators , including Hunter and the Prince , the conspiracy ' s leader , in holoconference with unidentified holograms , discussing the upheaval of their thousand - year plan . As Keeper worked to identify the holograms , Nine decided to take the initiative to wipe out the conspirators , first opening fire on the Prince . Hunter ran off to arm the station defenses while the rest of the conspirators were slaughtered . Once the fighting had subsided , the dying Prince tells Nine that the galaxy will always be ruled by the Jedi and Sith . Keeper then tells the agent that she ' s identified several of the holograms and has constructed a cover story for each target and has exposed them to the Imperial Military , Korriban and the bounty hunter guild . She promises that she ' d have the Republic after them too in hour . Keeper then instructed Nine to find the Star Cabal ' s database so they can uncover the surviving conspirators before her signal is jammed by Hunter . The conspiracy enforcer tells the agent that killing the inner circle does not grant the Imperials access to their files and taunts his nemesis to chase him . And so Nine gives chase , evading the station ' s booby traps and fighting through its guards . Eventually reaching the station core , where the conspiracy ' s Black Codex was stored . Hunter declared that he will make his last stand and remarked that he never though an Imperial Cipher could threaten a thousand - year old conspiracy . Nine coldly called Hunter " a sick man with sick dreams " , but the latter refused to believe it . Both spies then entered into a firefight , which Nine ultimately won . Mortally wounded , Hunter acknowledged defeat and requested Nine for one last thing , as " he " is revealed to be a she . Nine then executes Hunter before accessing the Black Codex . Suddenly , two Dark Council agents appear , stating that the Dark Council has been aware of the Minister of Intelligence acting without authorization and will be dealt with . However , they acknowledge Nine ' s loyalty and request the Black Codex for the Empire ' s glory . Nine complied and handed over the data to them . Aftermath . Cipher Nine then reported back to the Minister on " Tenebrous " . The latter expressed disappointment that his agent gave the Black Codex to the Sith , fearing that the information would be abused . He acknowledged that people like Nine will be put in charge of the new Sith Intelligence , whilst he , with luck , may retire gracefully , or else be executed . Either way , the Star Cabal is hunted down and eliminated , their dreams of a " finer age " dying with them . Behind the scenes . The Mission to the Star Chamber is a mission in the MMORPG for the Imperial Agent ' s Chapter III story .
