First Battle of Lok The First Battle of Lok was a battle between the Trade Federation and the Lok Revenants following a space piracy operation . The battle consisted of three primary engagements between the two organizations . In the end , the pirates were forced to abandon their base . Prelude . The pirate Nym led a band of pirates on the planet Lok . He and his men preyed on Trade Federation cargo traveling through the Karthakk system . The Battle . Piracy above Lok . This battle began with a piracy operation in which a Trade Federation convoy was attacked by Nym in his " Havoc " . One Superfreighter was disabled and four other smaller freighters were destroyed , the rest managed to escape into hyperspace . When most of the " Scarab " fighters were mopped up the Trade Federation had sent a Trade Federation Missile Frigate and two repair ships to try to reclaim the Superfreighter . However , all three ships were destroyed . The disabled freighter then released its cargo of droid starfighters ; all of which were destroyed . When the rest of the resistance was eliminated the freighter plummeted toward Lok . Retrieval of cargo . When the freighter made a crash - landing , a pirate freighter escorted by pirate speeder bikes at a very low altitude found the freighter and began unloading its cargo . However , the Trade Federation sent a strike force consisting of multiple AATs and " Scarab " fighters to try and secure the downed freighter . A Recovery Freighter was spotted as well indicating the Trade Federation ' s desire to recover the cargo . The recovery freighter was then destroyed . Two Trade Federation Dropship s attempted to fly in at low altitude and land nearby the crash landing but were also destroyed before they could land . Nym then destroyed the AATs heading for the recovery operation . The pirate freighter successfully gathered the cargo , then went along a river nearby to head for a cave to avoid pursuit . Nym , along with the speeder bikes , escorted the freighter to the cave where it would then arrive at Nym ' s Base . Assault at Nym ' s Stronghold . At nighttime a speeder bike on patrol crashed into a military convoy belonging to the Trade Federation and heading for the Lok Revenants stronghold . Nym provided cover for the bases primary defense , the Inferno Turret , destroying two dropships before they deployed any tanks . Ground control reported that all scouts accounted for , except Jinkins . Nym managed to provide cover for Jinkins so that he could reach the base safely and get into his " Freefall " . Nym was alerted to several waves of Trade Federation droid bomber s that were heading for the Inferno Turret , Nym , knowing that the Inferno Turret would be their strongest defense option managed to destroy the bombers before any damage could be done . Nym also managed to destroy two more dropships before they could drop of any AMT s . Meanwhile , the base ' s defense perimeter was under heavy fire . Ground control , knew it would be impossible to hold them of even with the Inferno Turret so they began evacuation . Ground control launched three decoy freighters first to draw the Trade Federations attention . Nym managed to provide cover for all three of them while one of the pirate freighters took off . The other didn ' t due to an engine failure . Nym provided air support for the ground base defenses destroying multiple tanks . When the second freighter managed to lift of it was then attacked by bombers and fighters , and before Nym could intervene , it was destroyed . Nym then checked if the charges for the base were set , after confirmation the base was timed to self - destruct he told ground control to set the timer and leave , during which one of two C - 9979 landing craft landing in the center of the base was destroyed in the explosion . Aftermath . The Lok Revenants were driven out of their home with heavy losses , but they were still capable of reforming a resistance movement for at least ten years in the Karthakk system . To which , with the help of Jedi Master Adi Gallia , they would be able to retake their home in at the Second Battle of Lok . The Trade Federation also suffered heavy losses . They would go on to turn the stronghold into a droid foundry and hangar and converted the surrounding area into refueling stations . They would have control over the place for ten years before losing it to the Lok Revenants . In the meantime , Nym would go on to strike back at the Federation during the Invasion of Naboo . Behind the scenes . This article was based on " three " consecutive missions in the 2001 video game " . " In each one , the player flies as Nym , one of the game ' s three protagonists . Each mission has a bonus objective . The first one is to destroy all freighters . The second one is to prevent dropships from landing , and the third one requires protecting the Inferno turret .
