Mission to Tarhassan The Mission to Tarhassan occurred three months into the Clone Wars , in 22 BBY . Background . Edbit Teeks was an intelligence agent stationed on the planet Tarhassan . He went missing shortly before the Confederacy of Independent Systems took control of the planet , and a group of Republic Intelligence operatives were sent in to find him . Two of the agents , Joram Kithe and Mapper , arrived on Tarhassen and made contact with other agents already there . The team quickly discovered that Teeks ' disappearance was the reason why the planet had surreptitiously allied itself with the confederation . The team leader , Cherek Tuhm , briefed the team , explaining the situation in detail . During the briefing , Joram discovered that none of them had served in intelligence before him , and that after his mission to Pengalan IV , the military decided that civilian personnel from various governmental branches might be well - suited for clandestine missions : Cherek was from the Ministry of Licenses and Permits , Tinian Hanther , the Department of Health , and Livintius Sazet was from the Ministry of Public Information and Ministry of Education . Despite their training , though , none of them proved to be suited for intelligence work . Teeks had been reported missing by his lover , Zazana Renkel . The subsequent investigation determined that she was a counter - intelligence agent in the employ of the CIS . The team planned to kidnap and interrogate her for information on Teek ' s whereabouts . The mission . After the briefing , the group set out by speeder to Renkel ' s apartment . Mapper twice pointed her out while they were reviewing their plan , and Joram ordered him to capture her . Mapper brought her into the speeder , where Cherek forced Joram to promise not to go against their detailed procedures again . After bringing Zazana back to the apartment , Joram found that the team was completely unskilled at interrogation , even managing to give their prisoner more information than they gained from her . Livintius suggested that they kill the prisoner after they realized their mistake . Joram stunned her , saying that he and Mapper would take care of her , intending to question her further . Joram set off with Mapper to search Teek ' s home . After bypassing security , he found a way to contact Teeks ' associates , and met with them to determine what Teeks was working on and where he was being held . They managed to garner detailed information about his cell block area , then returned to the group . While pretending that Renkel had been killed by their interrogation , they shared what information they had collected with the rest of the team before setting out to rescue Teeks . Tinian donned a PlanSec uniform and entered the building . She escorted Joram in disguised as a prisoner , and was able to gain access to the cell block . The two of them found Teeks , asleep , but when they were unable to open his cell , Joram called Mapper and asked for a small diversion . Mapper set off a small explosive device , sending most of the officers in the building to the site of the blast . Joram , meanwhile , placed explosives of his own on Teek ' s cell door , blowing it off of the wall . They blew another hole in the wall , allowing them to get out of the building , and escaped to a waiting speeder . A PlanSec officer had found the rest of the team , however , and was holding a blaster on Cherek . Cherek was shot trying to escape , but Tinian shot the guard in turn . After leaving Cherek with Teeks , the team left the planet .
