Flashpoint Stellar Research Station Flashpoint Stellar Research Station was a Galactic Republic scientific research station on the Outer Rim planet of Flashpoint that was captured by the Mandalorian warrior clans in 3964 BBY . Originally intended for the study of stars and related phenomena , Flashpoint Station was located inside a powerful magnetic shield — the planet Flashpoint was located extremely close to its star , and organic life usually could not survive on the world ' s barren surface . In the beginning stages of the Mandalorian Neo - Crusaders ' war with the Republic , Flashpoint Station was taken by the marauders and turned into the operating base for the notorious Mandalorian biologist Demagol . From Flashpoint Station , Demagol furthered research into the source of the powers of Jedi Knights , conducting brutal live experiments on Jedi captured near the front lines . Demagol ' s collection grew to include a number of Jedi crusaders captured on Suurja , led by the Human Alek . After the Mandalorians mistakenly captured and brought to Flashpoint a non - Jedi named Jarael , the Arkanian Offshoot ' s friends , including fugitive former Jedi Padawan Zayne Carrick and escaped Mandalorian warrior Rohlan Dyre , formulated a plan to rescue her . With Carrick posing as a Jedi whom Dyre had captured , they were able to incapacitate Demagol and simulate a fake Republic attack to clear the other Mandalorians off the station . The captive Jedi were freed , although Demagol escaped Republic custody by knocking out Dyre and switching armor with him . After the ordeal was over , the Jedi destroyed Flashpoint Station . Description . Located on the Outer Rim world of Flashpoint , the Flashpoint Stellar Research Station was a Galactic Republic scientific outpost established to study the life and death of stars and other solar phenomena . Flashpoint Station was located on a small , desert world with no atmosphere , as the planet was extremely close to its star . The massive amount of heat and radiation produced by the nearby star necessitated the creation of a powerful magnetic shield — without it , nothing could survive on the planet ' s surface during Flashpoint ' s hour - long days . The magnetic shield protected a roughly circular area of the planet ' s surface and was generated by several towers . For a starship to land at Flashpoint Station , the magnetic field had to be lowered , although this was unsafe to do during Flashpoint ' s brief and dangerous days . During the Republic ' s tenure in charge of the station , their scientists employed heavily shielded " Ministry " - class orbital shuttles while carrying out research . Even with the magnetic field , the planet had no atmosphere , requiring all present at the station to wear airtight suits while outside . The station ' s main structure was a bunker near the center of camp , surrounded by a larger outdoor area that was big enough to hold several starships . The station was equipped with guns to repel unwanted intruders and a comm system to contact nearby starships . The bunker itself was pressurized and featured a large , open entrance room that led into much narrower corridors . Deeper within the compound was a central research room , which the Mandalorian doctor Demagol made into his office during the Mandalorian occupation amidst their war with the Republic . Demagol adorned the room with the bones and skulls of several victims , as well as a number of lightsabers ; the room itself was covered in bloodstains . The room also featured a vertical board to which Demagol strapped his Jedi test subjects and thereupon working on them with his vast array of medical tools . History . Flashpoint Station was originally constructed and staffed by the Galactic Republic , which defunded a solar observatory on the moon of Metellos 3 in order to pay for the station . In 3964 BBY , the Mandalorian Neo - Crusaders , who had previously carved out their own empire beyond the reaches of the Republic , began to encroach upon Republic space in the name of the Mandalorian warrior clans . With Flashpoint Station sitting on the edge of Republic territory , the Mandalorians captured the facility . After Flashpoint Station fell into Mandalorian control , they began to use it to their own ends — the station was given over to Demagol , the top Mandalorian biologist , as a base where he could advance his studies into the powers and abilities of Jedi . As the first Jedi scouts were discovered investigating the frontier , the Mandalorians were ordered to bring all captured Jedi alive to Demagol , who conducted experiments on his living prisoners , with many dying under his watch . During the early days of the war , the Mandalorian " Teroch " - type gunship was primarily used to ferry prisoners to Flashpoint . During Demagol ' s reign on Flashpoint , a number of Jedi attempted to escape their predicament , but all died within minutes under Flashpoint ' s unforgiving sun . As the Mandalorians continued to threaten the Outer Rim , a group of Jedi , led by the charismatic Revan , defied the Jedi High Council ' s wishes and set out to battle the Mandalorians . However , many of these Jedi , including Revan ' s right - hand man , Alek , were captured on the war - torn world of Suurja and brought to Flashpoint Station as a fresh crop for Demagol . The new arrivals were relentlessly tortured , especially Alek , who proved willing to subject himself to more suffering in order to protect his fellows . While Demagol busied himself with his test subjects , the Mandalorians ramped up the fight against the Republic , launching a major offensive aimed at taking the valuable world of Taris . In one major battle at Vanquo , the Mandalorians mistook the Arkanian Offshoot Jarael as a Jedi — she had posed as one in a previous caper on the world . She was promptly taken prisoner and brought to Flashpoint Station , where Alek , recognizing that she was not a Jedi , protected her by volunteering himself for " research " in her place . Unbeknownst to Demagol , Jarael ' s friends — including the fugitive former Jedi Padawan Zayne Carrick — had set out for Flashpoint to rescue her and the other Jedi trapped there . Assisted by escaped Mandalorian warrior Rohlan Dyre , Carrick developed a plan to sabotage Flashpoint Station from the inside — he would pose as a Jedi whom Dyre had captured on Vanquo and thus gain entry to the heavily guarded station . After landing safely within the magnetic shield , Dyre marched Carrick into Demagol ' s office and demanded that Demagol get to work on the young Padawan . Demagol acquiesced and brought Carrick to his operating room in the back — once there , Dyre knocked Demagol unconscious . Dyre locked Demagol in a storage closet , while Carrick put the scientist ' s armor on and posed as Demagol while proclaiming to the captive Jedi that Carrick had died during an experiment . Not realizing the situation , an enraged Jarael attacked the false Demagol , although she relented after Zayne whispered her name and confused her . " Demagol " and Dyre began the next part of their plan , simulating a Republic attack on the station . Carrick ' s Snivvian friend , Marn Hierogryph , posed as a Republic admiral and sent a holomessage to Flashpoint Station , warning of an imminent attack . Hierogryph ' s message coincided with the remote detonation of several mining charges previously found on Vanquo , which destroyed a number of captured Republic ships around the station , along with almost all of the towers generating the station ' s magnetic shield . The explosions caused a panic amongst the Mandalorians about the station , and Dyre directed them to flee on a Mandalorian - made shuttle . Dyre also told them to report to Mandalore of the Republic ' s new " tactic " of remotely detonating Republic ships captured by the Mandalorians — a complete lie , invented by Hierogryph . Once all the other Mandalorians had left , Carrick returned to the bunker where the Jedi were being held and revealed himself as the false Demagol , thrilling Jarael and the other prisoners . After their caper , Dyre returned to collect the fallen Demagol . However , the warrior let his guard down , and Demagol injected him with a substance that incapacitated him . Demagol switched armors with Dyre , posing as him after returning to the others , while Dyre , in Demagol ' s armor , was taken into Republic custody . The Jedi prisoners and Carrick ' s group went their separate ways after the incident , using the rest of the mining charges to destroy Flashpoint Station entirely . Inhabitants . Originally inhabited by a team of Republic scientists , by 3964 BBY , Flashpoint Station had been totally taken over by the Mandalorians . Flashpoint Station was subsequently staffed by a group of Mandalorian warriors , led by the notorious biologist Demagol . Demagol , real name Antos Wyrick , had previously studied the powers of Jedi for decades , believing the Force , as the Jedi explained it , to be a myth meant to hide the true source of their abilities . On Flashpoint Station , Demagol was assisted by an ambitious Mandalorian named Pulsipher , who disagreed with Demagol that the Force was the result of gene tic modifications , instead believing that the Jedi ' s powers were a result of artifacts and trinkets carried by the Force wielders . The rest of the Mandalorians at the station were mostly employed as guards and assistants , charged with defending the isolated outpost and keeping the magnetic shield running — the majority found it a desolate , wretched place , some losing sleep due to Flashpoint ' s hour - long days . Mandalorian crews bringing in captive Jedi also visited Flashpoint Station on occasion — the Jedi themselves were kept in the installation ' s entrance room , which had been outfitted with gurneys and benches . The Jedi on Flashpoint were constantly tortured , many killed by Demagol , with others perishing in futile escape attempts . One Jedi in particular , Alek — known to Demagol as " Squint " — proved himself to be exceptionally hardy , withstanding all of Demagol ' s most painful procedures . A well - known leader of the Revanchist movement within the Jedi Order , Alek took on something of a leadership role amongst the captured Jedi . During Zayne Carrick and Rohlan Dyre ' s plot to rescue the trapped Jedi , many of the Mandalorians at Flashpoint Station fled , while Demagol escaped in Dyre ' s armor . The Jedi were freed , detonating their former prison behind them as they left . Behind the scenes . Flashpoint Stellar Research Station was first mentioned in " " , an in - universe news report appearing at the end of " " , a comic written by John Jackson Miller and released in 2006 . The station made its first appearance in " " , a later story arc of the " " series primarily set at Flashpoint Station . The station was later mentioned in a number of " Knights of the Old Republic " issues , including two brief flashbacks , as well as several reference books , including " The Essential Atlas " and the " Knights of the Old Republic Campaign Guide " .
