Hunt for the Eagle During the Cold War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire , Imperial Intelligence sent their agent Cipher Nine on a protracted hunt for the terrorist known as the Eagle after his organization destroyed the " Dominator " , the flagship of the Dark Council member Darth Jadus . History . Tracking down the Eagle . Word came that Darth Jadus had been assassinated , along with thousands of dignitaries , Sith and slaves , in the destruction of the Imperial dreadnought " Dominator " during a tour of Imperial space . Immediately afterwards , a message was transmitted throughout the entire Empire by a terrorist leader known only as " The Eagle " , a former Imperial starfighter pilot and veteran of the Great Galactic War . The Eagle claimed responsibility for the destruction of the " Dominator " , and claimed to have allies on countless worlds . Seeking to investigate further , Keeper instructed Cipher Nine to hunt down and destroy the Eagle ' s major terrorist allies and financial backers . Before the mission began , Nine was first called to the Sith Academy on Korriban to meet with Darth Zhorrid , Jadus ' daughter , apprentice and successor , before the Agent proceeded on the hunt for the Eagle . The first mission was to Balmorra , in the midst of a bloody civil war . Nine ' s target was " Gray Star " , an ally of the Eagle who was aligned with the Balmorran resistance . Sanju Pyne , an Imperial infiltrator in the Resistance , aided the effort , leading to the death of the Gray Star . On Nar Shaddaa , retired agent " Watcher X " assisted in destroying a chemical factory used by the Eagle to produce " Cyclone " , a powerful stimulant used to boost his soldiers ' strength . Watcher X , being held in the Shadow Town prison , used the power disruption of the factory ' s destruction to escape his confinement . After destroying the factory on Nar Shaddaa and preparing to leave , Nine ' s communication with Watcher Two was interrupted by Darth Zhorrid , who instructed the Agent to return to Nar Shaddaa to locate Vyord Yanol , the last person believed to have seen Darth Jadus alive . Panicking as the Agent demanded information , Yanol pulled a blaster . Despite Zhorrid ' s desire for his live capture , Nine killed Yanol , earning a ranting condemnation ( including being slapped across the face ) by Zhorrid upon the Agent ' s return to Dromund Kaas . Returning to the hunt , Watcher Two showed an intercepted transmission from the Eagle describing " Eradicators " , techno - organic satellite weapons capable of destruction on a massive scale , and his threat to use them against the Empire . The trail thus led to Tatooine and the " Ghost cell " , a near - mythical group of assassins that provided training to the Eagle ' s terror network . Aided by Mia Hawkins , Nine put down the Ghost cell and slew its leader , known only as " the Old Man " . Finally , the trail led to Alderaan , also in the midst of civil war . The target was a former nobleman named Denri Ayl , who acted as a mediator between the various houses of Alderaan . Meeting up with Diplomatic Service emissary Vector Hyllus , who had become a Killik Joiner during his time on Alderaan , Nine went to the House Cortess , allies of the Empire - backed House Thul . Despite initial hostility , Nine gained an audience with the Cortess leaders , Baron Peyar and Baroness Chay . With Hyllus ' aid , Nine entered the stronghold of House Alde to confirm that Ayl was the financial backer of the Eagle ' s terror network , and then tracked Ayl himself to House Rist . Searching through Ayl ' s logs after killing him , however , Nine discovered that Ayl ' s efforts to gain the services of the Rists , renowned as a family of professional assassins , had been initiated by Baroness Chay herself . The Cortess estate was equipped with enough shielding and weaponry to hold off an attacking army or a Killik swarm , forcing Nine to find another way in . With the aid of Hyllus and his Killik nest , Nine infiltrated the Cortess estate ' s power generator hidden in the Glarus Valley and used Killik larvae to destroy the generators before assaulting the estate itself . Entering the throne room , Baron Peyar surrendered , and the Baroness was slain by Captain Perovius , head of the Cortess House Guard . Though the actual traitor was dead , Nine condemned the remainder of the House to death , leaving the Cortess estate to Hyllus ' Killiks to form a new hive . Elimination of the Eagle . With the Eagle ' s support network destroyed , Watcher Two contacted Nine with news that the Eagle himself had been located , at the " Eagle ' s Nest " on Hutta . Entering the base and fighting through the Eagle ' s troops , Nine confronted the terrorist leader , who revealed that his patron was in fact someone within the Empire itself . The Eagle ' s computer only had half of the command codes to the Eradicators ; the other was in the hands of his Sith patron . If the full code was not transmitted within a certain period , the Eradicators would go ballistic and attack at random , rather than at the designated targets . With all the information needed , Nine killed the Eagle and returned to Dromund Kaas . The Eradicator crisis . Keeper then dispatched both Nine and Watcher Two to the Artus system , an uninhabited system within Imperial space , where a Harrower - class dreadnought orbiting Artus Five was believed to be holding the second half of the codes to the Eradicators . They boarded the dreadnought manned only by crazed Imperial soldiers and droids , and discovered that it was projecting a jamming signal that would prevent them from calling for reinforcements ; while Watcher Two guided the Agent using a communicator implant , Nine would head to the bridge and use the full command codes to deactivate the Eradicators en masse . Upon reaching the dreadnought ' s bridge , Nine was surprised to encounter a very much alive Darth Jadus , flanked by two cybernetically - enhanced dark guardians . Speaking in his cold , mechanical monotone , Jadus revealed that he had faked his death as part of a plan to purge the Empire of its " corrupt " elements , particularly the Dark Council , and usher in a new era of terror , with the Eradicators as his secret weapon to destroy his rivals . He invited Nine to join him as his chief agent in this new order . While Jadus outlined his plan , Watcher Two secretly spoke over the comm implant ; in order to keep Jadus ' focus , Nine would have to activate the Eradicators , thus resulting in thousands of deaths , before Jadus could be stopped . After activating the Eradicators , Nine quickly deactivated the jamming signal and sabotaged the ship ' s shields and hyperdrive , rendering it unable to escape . Watcher Two was able to call for reinforcements , including three members of the Dark Council , leaving Nine to deal with Jadus himself . Despite the fact that Jadus ' powers of the Force were second only to that of the Emperor himself , Nine was able to withstand Jadus ' fury while diverting necessary power for Watcher Two to encase Jadus in a ray shield , to hold him long enough for the reinforcements to arrive . Eventually , Jadus was forced to submit , and would be turned over to the Dark Council . The matter of the Eradicators led to a massive shakeup in the Imperial government , and several officials - including the Minister of Intelligence - would be removed . Keeper was named the new Minister of Intelligence , answerable directly to the Dark Council ; in his place , Watcher Two became the new Keeper .
