Gilthos Uksaris ' s friend A friend of Gilthos Uksaris , the founder and manager of the jatz band The Twisted Rancor Trio , lived during the time of the Jedi Civil War . In the year 3956 BBY , he sent a package of 50 credits and a suit of Echani fiber armor to Uksaris at the Lower City Apartments on Taris , homeworld of The Twisted Rancor Trio . Though he had taken care to set up a holographic security system employing a Holo - Sec Corp anti - theft explosive around the package to secure it from robbery before Uksaris could retrieve it , the package ' s contents were lost anyway to the amnesiac former Dark Lord of the Sith Revan , who managed to deactivate the system with the aid of Uksaris ' s draft memoir " " . History . In 3956 BBY , Gilthos Uksaris , founder of the jatz band The Twisted Rancor Trio had received an invitation from Davik Kang , crime lord of the Exchange , to perform at his estate . Because of Kang ' s reputation for criminal violence , Giltho Uksaris ' s friend was apprehensive of the wisdom of Uksaris accepting the offer and warned him as such . His fears were shared by the band ' s lead singer , Elinda , who resolutely refused to perform for Kang , yet Uksaris maintained that Kang ' s patronage was the opportunity the band had been waiting for a grand touring contract . Uksaris ' s solution to Elinda ' s absence was to replace her with her sister Ashana on the eve of their scheduled appearance at Kang ' s estate , untested and without much time for rehearsal . That day , Uksaris ' s friend sent him a package containing a suit of Echani fiber armor and 50 credits as he had previously promised . Delivered to Uksaris ' s apartment in the Lower City Apartments of the planet Taris , The Twisted Rancor Trio ' s homeworld , the package was held within a security crate secured by a Holo - Sec Corp anti - theft explosive as part of a holographic security system . This security system employed six holoprojectors for its passcode . Uksaris ' s friend had set each holoprojector to correspond to each of the six individuals who had performed with the band at one point or another , and to disarm the trap , Uksaris was expected to activate each holoprojector in chronological order of their recruitment . The friend had anticipated that the passcode would therefore be easy for Uksaris to deduce , given that Uksaris was the band ' s manager . He left a message along with the delivery specifying the instructions to safely disarm the explosive , as well as reiterating his concerns that replacing Elinda with Ashana was a mistake , noting that Kang might even have the band killed for unsatisfactory performance . Nevertheless , he ended his message on an optimistic tone , wishing Uksaris good luck and reminding him that should Uksaris ' s gamble succeed , it would provide an excellent chapter for Uksaris ' s memoir on the band ' s exploits , " " . As a matter of fact , Uksaris never received his friend ' s package thanks to the theft of the amnesiac former Dark Lord of the Sith Revan . Revan , then serving with the Galactic Republic , had been stranded on Taris with fellow Republic Captain Carth Onasi after their warship , the " Endar Spire " , was destroyed by a Sith ambush above the planet . The Sith Empire subsequently enacted a planet - wide blockade in the hopes of preventing their query , the Jedi Bastila Shan from escaping , and during his search for Shan , Revan chanced upon Uksaris ' s apartment in the Lower City , where he encountered the security crate while Uksaris was away . Finding a draft of " Guts and Glory " on a nearby table , Revan was able to decipher the passcode after reading the history of the band . As a result , he disarmed the anti - theft explosive without issue and retrieved the Echani fiber armor and 50 credits for his own use . Behind the scenes . The friend of Gilthos Uksaris is only mentioned in the 2003 video game " " as the sender of a message and accompanying security crate to Uksaris found at an apartment in the Lower City Apartments ( East ) area . The message is accessed upon interaction with the security crate and details the instructions to unlocking it safely without triggering the explosive that it is rigged with . As given by the message , the passcode is to activate each of the six holoprojectors of The Twisted Rancor Trio ' s band members in order of their recruitment , and this order can be deduced by reading the datapad on " Guts and Glory : A Chronicle of The Amazing Story of The Twisted Rancor Trio " in the same room that provides a history of the band . The player , as Revan , can either safely unlock the crate through these steps , fail and trigger the explosive trap , or ignore the crate and move on without looting it . If the player triggers the explosion but manages to survive it , such as by leaving one or more party member standing in a safe distance from the blast radius , the crate will then be unlocked for looting without bypassing the security system .
