Mission to Nar Shaddaa ( Dark Trooper campaign ) During the Galactic Civil War , the Alliance to Restore the Republic continued a crusade against the Galactic Empire ' s efforts in creating droid soldiers called Dark trooper s . During the standard year 1 ABY , the Alliance ' s two head operatives for the campaign , Kyle Katarn and Jan Ors , embarked on a mission to the moon Nar Shaddaa to track a down a nava card that would hopefully reveal the location of the factory starship " Arc Hammer " , which was producing the Dark troopers . After Ors dropped Katarn off at a landing point , Katarn fought his way through Imperial troops and various bounty hunters who were out to kill him . Katarn eventually located the nava card and was retrieved by Ors in their ship , the " Moldy Crow " . However , as they left Nar Shaddaa , they were captured by the " Star Jewel " , the personal yacht of the crime lord Jabba the Hutt . Ors was imprisoned and Katarn was set to be executed , as their various missions against the Empire had threatened Jabba ' s stake in the Imperial project . However , Katarn defeated Jabba ' s kell dragon with his bare hands , retrieved the nava card , rescued Ors , and escaped the " Star Jewel " with the " Moldy Crow " . Prelude . During the Galactic Civil War , the Galactic Empire devised a new weapon to combat their enemy , the Alliance to Restore the Republic . Referred to as Dark trooper s , they were droid soldiers equipped with state - of - the - art weaponry . The brain child of General Rom Mohc , the Dark troopers were built on the factory starship " Arc Hammer " . To combat the Dark Trooper Project , the Alliance dispatched two agents , Kyle Katarn and Jan Ors , to disrupt and ultimately end the project once and for all . After destroying a robotics facility on the planet Anteevy during the year 1 ABY , Ors learned , by tracking smuggler ships that had visited Anteevy to drop off supplies for the Empire , that all roads for the smuggler activity led to the moon Nar Shaddaa . With the ship " Moldy Crow " , Ors and Katarn embarked to what was often called the " Smuggler ' s Moon " to further disrupt the smugglers ' efforts in aiding the Empire and steal a nava card that could potentially lead to the " Arc Hammer " < nowiki > ' < / nowiki > s location . However , Mohc placed a bounty on Katarn ' s head , which made him a valuable target for Nar Shaddaa ' s resident bounty hunters . The mission to Nar Shaddaa . Shootouts in the Vertical City . Ors dropped Katarn off near a moving platform before flying off to wait for Katarn ' s completion of the main objective : stealing the nava card . Alongside a strong Imperial presence , the path to the Imperial facility was littered with various bounty hunters and mercenaries working for an as of yet unknown crime lord . As Katarn began his trek through the city streets , he was quickly attacked by a lone remote droid , which Katarn dispatched . The attack was followed by an encounter with several Gamorreans with axe s . Katarn fought his way through the aliens , killing those he encountered . Katarn also dueled thermal detonator throwing Gran and concussion rifle toting Trandoshans . Using a Jeron fusion cutter for most of the enemy encounters , Katarn eventually recovered a Stouker concussion rifle from a fallen Trandoshan and used in conjunction with the fusioncutter and an E - 11 blaster rifle . The Rebel agent also used thermal detonators of his own to disable enemy - planted claymores . After prolonged battling , Katarn eventually reached an Imperial facility protected by various Imperial stormtroopers , commandos , and officers . After blasting his way through the Imperials and further mercenaries , Katarn came across a blue - colored keycard . Katarn searched for the door that it corresponded too and opened it . Eventually , Katarn fought his way through a narrow catwalk guarded by detonator tossing Gran . Katarn survived their attacks , killed the Gran , and successfully made it across and found a small Imperial control room . The room contained the sought - after nava card , guarded by stormtroopers , and commandos . Katarn killed all three Imperials and snatched the card . With the nava card firmly in his possession , Katarn was picked up by Ors . Captured by Jabba the Hutt . As the Rebel pair lifted from Nar Shaddaa , the " Moldy Crow " was near - immediately snared in the tractor beams of the luxury yacht " Star Jewel " , the personal craft of the crime lord Jabba the Hutt . As it turned out , it was Jabba ' s smugglers that had been helping the Empire make the necessary trips to deliver the materials that the Dark Trooper Project needed across the galaxy . Ors was imprisoned in the ship ' s brig , and Katarn was stripped of his gear and brought to the lair of Jabba ' s favorite kell dragon , to which Katarn was to be fed too . After being escorted to the pit by two Gamorrean guard s , Jabba contacted his prisoner via a hologram , as Jabba was not actually present on his ship . The Hutt taunted Katarn , noting that his only regret was that he would be unable to personally see Katarn die . Katarn tried to threaten Jabba under the impression that Ors had been hurt , but was subsequently thrown into the Kell dragon pit by the guards . Despite having no weapons , Katarn killed Jabba ' s Kell dragon with his bare hands , along with several other Kell dragons . In response to this , a large door in the pit opened , revealing more Kell dragons and another door that led deeper into the ship . Katarn bested the kell dragons and two Gran , liberated the area of personal energy shields and the Grans ' dropped detonators , and then moved further into the ship . Katarn ' s first order of business was to retrieve his confiscated gear , which consisted of his personal Bryar pistol and all of the other weapons he had collected in missions past . Katarn found his gear and recovered it after killing the Gamorreans guarding it . Now fully equipped , Katarn blasted his way through the remainder of Jabba ' s troops and Kell dragons using the weapons he had prioritized on Nar Shaddaa . After abducting a yellow keycard from a dianoga - inhabited waste pit , Katarn was able to locate the confiscated nava card . Finally , Katarn set out to rescue his partner . After battling through more guards and kell dragons , Katarn finally located the brig and killed the Trandoshan , Gran , and Gamorrean defenders . Katarn found Ors ' cell and freed her , and together they escaped the " Star Jewel " aboard the " Moldy Crow " , depriving Jabba of his revenge against Katarn . Aftermath . With the nava card in hand , Ors and Katarn traveled to the Imperial capital planet Coruscant so that they could infiltrate the Imperial Security Operations building and decode the nava card . After decoding the card , the Rebel duo were one step closer to defeating Mohc and the Dark Trooper Project for good . Eventually , Ors and Katarn effectively ended the Imperial endeavor with the destruction of the " Arc Hammer " . Behind the scenes .
