Battle for the Allusis A battle that occurred during the Cold War between the forces of the Sith Empire , the Jedi Order , Galactic Republic , and the rogue Mandalorian Clan Varad . The battle was the culmination of both galactic powers ' effort to stop Clan Varad from raiding their settlements using a hijacked advanced " Valor " - class cruiser , the " Allusis " from the Republic shipyards at Fondor . Prelude . During the time of the Cold War between the Galactic Republic and the resurgent Sith Empire , a highly militant Mandalorian clan cut its ties with the rule of Mandalore the Vindicated . Clan Varad , lead by its chieftain , Mavrix Varad found that the proxy war between the two galactic powers was tedious and unbecoming of Mandalorian heritage for war and conflict . A veteran of the Great Galactic War , Mavrix sought to sow chaos and violence once again . With his clan , he was able to commandeer an advanced Republic warship called the Allusis while it was being refitted in the Fondor Shipyards . Taken with ease due to the warship ' s minimal crew , Clan Varad used the ship to raid defenseless star systems in the Outer Rim . The clan ' s ruthlessness and hunger for bedlam would be seen throughout this rampage as they would extort worlds for tribute , only to jettison their plunder of armaments , medical supplies and food into space . Both Imperial and Republic forces tried to stop this rampage by sending their ships but was met with defeat due to the Allusis ' advanced construction . Battle . In a final bid to capture the ship , both forces called upon their most noted strike teams into action . While the Allusis was refueling in a remote depot in the Tamarin sector , both Imperial and Republic forces engaged the resting warship . Their strike teams forcefully entered the Allusis with drop pods , breaking through the cargo deck where the team faced down several of the clans ' squads of battledroids and foot soldiers . Venturing towards a control room for the cargo deck , the strike team met and fought with Clan Varad ' s beastmaster , Braxx and his salky hound cohorts who had barred the way forward by activating the area ' s shields . After a lengthy battle , the battlemaster was defeated and the shields deactivated , the strike team continued their trek but was met with heavy resistance from the clan ' s forces . Midway through the battle before reaching the command deck , the strike force encoutered a squad of Mandalorian mercenaries , namely Tiru , Lothor , and Kandon . Known collectively as Battle Team Royal , through Mavrix ' s constant chatter on the Allusis ' internal comm system , the strike team ' s engagement with them was short - lived as they were unknowingly killed by the arrival of the opposing faction ' s own boarding party . No alliances were made that day to end Clan Varad ' s reign of terror , and so the opposing forces engaged to fight as the capture of the Allusis and its promise of power was the true prize , the Empire seeking to seize it and The Republic wanting to keep it . The battle between the parties endured while the factions ' contingent of ships continued to harass the Allusis and each other . The strike team would finally strike a blow to the opposing squad by killing one of its members , but found the distress this caused was aiding in their enemies ' effort . The strike team rallied and finally defeated the opposing boarding party through a tactical strike . The team moved forward , descending through an elevator that led to the launch control deck while meeting only light resistance . Upon reaching their destination , the strike team approached a nearby access panel from where they disabled the security locks of the ship and dealt with Mandalorian engineers working at a nearby airlock . From there , the strike team was retasked to take control of the Allusis , a mission that would mean facing down the Clan chieftain on the bridge of the ship . The team would once again face heavy resistance in the form of advanced turrets , Mandalorian tech commandos and a clan veteran named Gil . Gil was able to hold his own against the strike team , but his skill with the blade were not enough , formidable as they were , to see him through to the end of the battle . With his lieutenants defeated , most of his clan dead or captured , Mavrix Varad stood waiting for the strike team goading them through the comm system . When the team reached the clan chieftain ' s location , they found him standing ready for battle . As they engaged , Mavrix used his jetpack to escape their attacks whilst enabling the Allusis ' internal defense turrets to augment his own standard array of Mandalorian weapons . As the battle went on , Mavrix would continue to verbally harass his enemies with taunts of inferiority concerning the war and the teams ' ability to mobilize against him . After the destruction of the turrets , the strike team focused their attacks on the fleeing chieftain and in doing so defeating him . With Mavrix defeated the strike team commandeered the ship and safely departed for their capitol world . Aftermath . The Mandalorians suffered the loss of the clan Varad , absorbing survivors of the battle into other clans . They also kept their reputation with the Empire as allies , a pact that seemed to remain intact due to their continued service to Empire in following events . It also helped that the Mandalorians assisted in finding Clan Varad , an act justified by the rogue clan ' s declaration of " Akaan ' gaan " . Behind the scenes . The Battle for the " Allusis " is part of Flashpoint Mandalorian Raiders . During the flashpoint the player has a choice to capture the Mandalorian engineers ( light side option ) or jettison them into space ( dark side option ) . The flashpoint is available to both factions in the game , as such , the victory conditions are not set in canon and thus the aftermath of the battle is limited to secondary observations . If an Imperial player finishes the flashpoint , The " Allusis " is captured and taken to Dromund Kaas , the Empire acquires its wealth of technology and Republic knowledge , the survivors of Clan Varad are taken in by other Mandalorian clans and the fealty of the Mandalorians are hardened . If a Republic player finishes the flashpoint , the " Allusis " is taken back to Coruscant to be repaired and after which is to be assigned to help rebuild where it used to sow terror .
