Agent Galen ' s SIS branch utilized Strategic Command by the time of the Cold War between the Republic and the Sith Empire . In the year 3643 BBY , a team of criminals from the Migrant Merchants ' Guild organization stole the design files for the Planet Prison superweapon , and Galen ' s unit was assigned to investigate with the help of the Coruscant Security Force . Upon identifying one of the thieves , a Rodian named Vistis Garn , Galen reported the unit ' s findings to General Var Suthra of the Republic Military . A young Jedi Knight was sent to retrieve the files from a Guild warehouse in the Old Galactic Market region , and Galen returned to Strategic Command with the Jedi Padawan Kira Carsen . When the two were alerted to the kidnapping of the Planet Prison ' s designer , Doctor Eli Tarnis , Carsen departed Strategic Command to pursue the kidnappers , and Galen ordered the Jedi Knight who had been sent after the files to bring the files back to him at Strategic Command . Galen handed off the files to Krand , one of his analysts , who used the room ' s computers to decrypt the files while the Knight helped Carsen defeat some of the kidnappers in the nearby Coruscant Spaceport . Upon discovering that the files contained information on the entire Republic superweapon initiative , Galen summoned General Suthra , the Jedi Masters Bela Kiwiiks and Orgus Din , the Knight , and Carsen to Strategic Command to give them the bad news . Galen , Kiwiiks , and Din departed Coruscant to secure the Republic ' s three offworld superweapon development facilities , but Suthra and Carsen remained behind in Strategic Command to monitor the Knight as the young Jedi embarked on a mission to rescue Doctor Tarnis from his kidnappers in the Black Sun criminal syndicate . Suthra and Carsen were using the room ' s communications systems to monitor the Jedi when the Knight discovered that Tarnis was , in fact , a Sith Lord , and Carsen and the analysts were able to track Tarnis ' s transmissions to the Coruscant territory of the paramilitary Justicars ' Brigade . After Carsen and the Knight defeated Tarnis and stopped him from using the Planet Prison against Coruscant , Suthra met with the Jedi again in Strategic Command before sending the pair on a mission to the planet Ord Mantell to investigate the plans of Tarnis ' s father , Darth Angral .
