Raid on the Imperial Intelligence Outpost In 3643 BBY , during the Sith Lord Darth Angral ' s campaign of vengeance against the Galactic Republic for the death of his son , Tarnis , a young Jedi Knight raided the Imperial Intelligence Outpost in the depths of the ruined Transport Station 5 on the planet Taris . The Jedi Knight and a companion sought to rescue the Republic scientist Doctor Nasan Godera , who had been captured by Watcher One , an agent of Imperial Intelligence . The duo were too late to prevent Watcher One from using a truth serum on Godera to interrogate him about his work on superweapons , and Angral ordered the operative to capture the Jedi — the same Jedi who was responsible for Tarnis ' s death . Watcher One was defeated , however , and the Knight allowed the man to depart Taris and go into hiding , while the Jedi returned Godera to Republic custody . Prelude . In 3643 BBY , during the Cold War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire , the Sith Lord Darth Angral declared war on the Republic when his son , Tarnis , was killed by a young Jedi Knight . Seizing control of several Republic superweapons , Angral also dispatched Watcher One , a high - ranking operative of the Empire ' s intelligence organization , with a complement of Imperial Army personnel to the planet Taris to capture the former Republic scientist Nasan Godera . However , the same Jedi Knight who had killed Tarnis was sent by General Var Suthra to locate Godera as well . Watcher One managed to stay one step ahead of the Jedi and escaped with Godera , and , in order to secure time to interrogate the scientist , he contacted the Jedi and made a deal : In exchange for time , the operative revealed the presence of a Sith assassin who was about to attack a nearby colony , and he promised to give Godera to the Jedi once his mission was complete . The Knight prevented the assassin from wiping out the colony , and , meanwhile , Watcher One — who had returned to the Imperial Intelligence Outpost in the depths of a ruined complex known as Transport Station 5 — injected Godera with a truth serum and questioned him on his knowledge of superweapon design . The raid . After securing the colony , the Knight and a companion followed to the outpost the coordinates for Godera ' s bioscan that the doctor ' s droid RE - M0 had given them , and they fought through the hostile rakghoul creatures that inhabited Transport Station 5 as they headed into the ruins . Unaware of the Knight ' s deal with Watcher One , the dozen Imperial operatives stationed at the facility attacked the Jedi upon sight . The Knight and the Jedi ' s companion dispatched the dozen Imperial snipers and scouts before heading into the outpost ' s main chamber , where Watcher One was reporting success to Angral via a holotransmission . Angral ordered Watcher One to bring Godera to the Empire ' s capital , Dromund Kaas , but when the Knight arrived , the Sith was enraged to learn that Watcher One had compromised with the Jedi . The furious Sith ordered Watcher One to capture the Jedi before ending the transmission , and the operative apologized to the Jedi for betraying their agreement before drawing his blaster . In the resultant battle , Watcher One was supported by two Imperial operatives , but they were eventually defeated by the Knight and the Jedi ' s companion ; while his subordinates were killed , Watcher One was only injured . Aftermath . Stumbling backward , Watcher One questioned his opponent as to what would happen next . Recognizing that he was a man of honor , the Knight allowed Watcher One to depart and find a new life away from the Empire . The Knight then released Doctor Godera from his restraints and returned the scientist to the Republic settlement of Olaris , where Agent Fau - Kes of the Republic Strategic Information Service — the Republic ' s intelligence agency — had returned after his team failed to make contact with the Knight . At General Suthra ' s request , Fau - Kes took Godera to the Republic capital of Coruscant , and the Knight ' s crew headed to the moon of Nar Shaddaa to secure the Republic ' s stolen Power Guard Project . Behind the scenes . The raid on the Imperial Intelligence Outpost first appeared in the Jedi Knight - class mission " The Rescue " in " " , a video game released by BioWare in 2011 . Dark - side players will be tasked with retrieving Jedi Covenant artifacts , while light - side players are sent to stop an assassin ; players can also refuse Watcher One ' s offer and proceed straight to " The Rescue . " After defeating Watcher One , players are presented with a choice : They can kill him for dark - side points , attempt to capture him and fail , or allow him to leave for light - side points . As the Knight is a Republic class and therefore is assumed to choose only light - side alignment options , this article assumes that the Jedi Knight went after the assassin and allowed Watcher One to leave .
