Skirmish at Peragus II The Skirmish at Peragus II occurred during the Old Sith Wars as the Jedi Exile , Meetra Surik was pursued by Sith forces to a major mining colony in the Peragus II asteroid field . The colony was destroyed by Darth Sion as Meetra attempted to flee the facility . Capture of " Harbinger " . The confrontation began on the Republic vessel " Harbinger " . One of Goto ' s HK - 50 Jedi hunters was working undercover on board as a protocol droid assigned to Meetra Surik by the captain of the vessel , who had received instructions from Admiral Carth Onasi to see that she safely reached Telos IV with diplomatic - level priority . Sometime later , a distress signal was received from a freighter under attack by Sith forces and the course was diverted from Telos to investigate , both the freighter and the Sith warship were found empty though in fact they were just playing dead in the hopes of being picked up . The freighter ' s ID signature matched that of the " Ebon Hawk " from Republic databanks and was tractored by the " Harbinger " , the warship was boarded allowing stealthed Sith assassin s on the Republic vessel . On board the " Ebon Hawk " was reported only Kreia ' s dead body and the badly damaged T3 - M4 . While HK - 50 arranged for Meetra to be drugged in a medical appointment , Darth Sion was found unconscious on the warship and placed in a kolto tank , Kreia awoke from her hibernation trance and found Meetra sealed in one of the cargo holds , unknown to her however , the Sith were already on board busy in a series of murders which systematically crippled the " Harbinger " . As soon as Kreia and Meetra escaped on the " Ebon Hawk " , the Sith fired upon the freighter , nearly destroying it . T3 - M4 was able to repair the damaged vessel , with the help of 3C - FD , while the two Jedi lay unconscious and guided it to the Peragus Mining Facility . Mining Facility massacre . As soon as the " Ebon Hawk " had docked with the Peragus Mining Facility , HK - 50 attacked T3 - M4 and he was temporarily deactivated , the assassin droid had slipped himself quietly into the ship ' s storage compartment . Kreia was sent to the morgue and Meetra was placed in a kolto tank for recovery but was heavily sedated by HK - 50 while he attempted to sabotage the facility . There was much unrest among the miners as some saw their chance to collect the bounty posted on Jedi by the Exchange while others opposed this , accidents were occurring , and smuggling operations were giving the security officer a busy time . Meanwhile , HK - 50 had learned by the maintenance officer all he needed to know about the facility . Posing as the maintenance officer , he made a deal with one of the miners , Coorta to help deliver Meetra to the Exchange . The assassin droid reprogrammed the mining droids , which caused many miners to be injured or killed , forcing many miners to join Meetra Surik in the medical bay . The maintenance officer assumed the droids were going under binary decay but couldn ' t get a good look at the droids to see what was wrong since malfunctioning ones damage themselves . Detonations occurred in isolated gas pockets in the lower levels of the facility , driving the miners into emergency sections of the station , forcing a lockdown and damaging specific sections of the facility ' s ventilation systems , causing a buildup of toxic fumes in the dormitory level in which the remaining miners , cut off from communications and facility control , were left to die . The last few to be killed were Coorta and his men , who were trying to escape the facility , but HK - 50 reversed the turbolift codes , preventing Coorta from getting to the administration level and then had the droids kill Coorta and his men . The skirmishes begin . After hearing Kreia ' s voice through the Force , Meetra snapped into consciousness and slipped out of her kolto tank , she gained access to the facility morgue and found the elderly woman who awoke and greeted her . With no time for explanations , Meetra was urged to find the " Ebon Hawk " so that they might flee the trouble Kreia had sensed during her sleep . Half naked and with nothing but a vibroblade and a mining laser , Meetra fought her way through hostile mining droids , slowly regaining Force - sensitivity with Kreia ' s help . She found Atton Rand in a force cage on the administration level and though he was elusive on what he had been charged with , they had a brief conversation about what had happened prior to his arrest , bring Meetra up to speed on the situation . Meetra freed Atton and accepted his help in finding a way out of there . Atton managed to get communications back but found the system severed from the main hub , still T3 - M4 had been left in storage near the hangar bay in standby mode and Meetra was able to contact him using a communication terminal . T3 provided a route from the administration level to the hangar bay , passing through the mining tunnels and the fuel depot , where Meetra would eventually be thwarted by force fields and left to find other means in the dormitory level . During a spacewalk across the asteroid ' s surface , Meetra was contacted by Atton via comlink and informed her that the " Harbinger " was about to dock with the facility . Once Meetra made her way back to Atton , Kreia joined Atton and Meetra in confrontation with HK - 50 prior to boarding the vessel after . Their plan was to go through the " Harbinger " in an attempt to reach the hangar passing through the fuel pipe by the engine room . Skirmishes aboard the " Harbinger " . On the " Harbinger " , the three had to fight their way through stealthed Sith Assassins to get to the bridge and download the orbital drift charts necessary to clear the Peragus asteroid field . The three came across Meetra ' s quarters on the ship and she got her belongings that were kept in a footlocker there . On the engine deck Darth Sion confronted Kreia while Meetra and Atton escaped . Kreia who had just left the morgue and had only her crude vibrosword for defense , stood no chance against Sion ' s lightsaber , she Force cloak ed herself to try a sneak attack but Sion severed her left hand . The pain echoed through the Force bond that had formed between her and Meetra during their long slumber , making Meetra thrash about in pain as she and Atton reached the engine room . Utterly defenseless , Kreia was spared by Sion . The escape . Atton and Meetra were joined by T3 - M4 in the fuel depot and the three made for the " Ebon Hawk " . While Atton powered up the engines , Sith troopers attempted to board , but Meetra repelled them with the " Hawk " ' s gun turrets . Kreia just barely made it to the ship before they took off . As the " Hawk " prepared to make a jump to hyperspace , Sion and the " Harbinger " pursued them through the asteroids . The Republic warship shot at the asteroids , detonating one of them , and setting off a chain - reaction explosion that completely destroyed every asteroid in the field , including the facility . Meetra then set course for Telos , where she would be put under house arrest pending the results of an investigation on the Peragus disaster , which had profound consequences for the planet and for the Republic .
