TopWorld TopWorld was a year one ( 31 BBY ) Living Force adventure . It was part one of the Between the Worlds trilogy , written by Morrie Mullins . The adventure premiered in March 2001 . Plot summary . When the mysterious alien Nirama came into control of the organized crime within the Cularin system , he abolished the slave trade within the system . Slavery was a lucrative business , and this decision , along with some others , was unpopular with segments of the Cularin underworld who felt that potential profits were going to waste . In 31 BBY , Nirama became aware that the forces within his Organization opposed to his leadership were coming together . Looking to non - traditional resources to investigate the situation , he called upon a group of people who had recently been proclaimed heroes on the planet Cularin for their roles in uncovering the illegal activities of the Metatheran Cartel . Bringing them to his asteroid base under the guise of being new recruits , he asked the heroes to go undercover and try to get recruited by the conspirators and find out some information on them . Convinced that Nirama was the lesser of two evils , with him being fairly non - violent and opposed to slavery , the heroes agreed to become Nirama ' s spies . Put in guards uniforms , they were told to patrol the Red Sector . Though weapons were illegal on the asteroid , Nirama gave them hold - out blasters for emergency use . Having a lot of down time between their patrols , the spies spent much of their time in the Hutt ' s Tail cantina . There they met an old Twi ' lek named Vel Pastar , who seemed to be fine with Nirama ' s policies , but was gauging the spies ' answers to his own questions to see if they might be worth recruiting . That night , the spies were awoken in the middle of the night by a number of individuals dressed all in black , with black hoods . The hooded individuals escorted them to a storage facility in a part of the Red Sector which was not used during the night shift . Conducted on opposite sides of a wall of boxes , the spies had a conversation with the leadership of the anti - Nirama faction under the gaze of 60 people on catwalks . Finding out the conspiracy was calling itself the Cell , the spies managed to convince the Cell of their conviction to join , so the Cell moved on to testing their skills . The recruits were taken to an abandoned restaurant called Mokada ' s Place . With around 300 Cell members watching , the recruits were first tested as a group by being faced with a juvenile rancor named Bender . The recruits realized the rancor just wanted to play and were able to subdue it . Then the recruits were tested individually on the skills they claimed to be best at . After the tests , the spies were returned to their quarters . The next day , when they stopped in the Hutt ' s Tail , the spies received a note saying " You ' re in . " Late in their shift , they were assaulted by a group of Trandoshan Cell members who had discovered that the recruits were spies . In defending themselves from the Trandoshans , some of the spies used their hold - out blasters , and Nirama ' s personal security arrested them quickly after the fight was through . Soon after their arrest , they were taken before Nirama . They told him what they had learned about the Cell and about Bender ' s location , earning his favor . Those Cell members who had been used to test the spies were soon found dead . Nirama sent his spies home , putting out rumors that they were being punished by putting them to work throughout the system , something which he often did . As they left , he let the heroes know that he would like the option to call upon them again soon .
