Skirmish in the Power Guard Cybernetics Lab In 3643 BBY , during the Sith Lord Darth Angral ' s personal war against the Galactic Republic amid the Cold War between the Republic and the Sith Empire , a skirmish occurred in the Power Guard Cybernetics Lab on the moon Nar Shaddaa . The Sith Lord Sadic , who had seized control of the supersoldier - producing Power Guard Project , learned that a young Jedi Knight was searching for the project , so he relocated the program to another location — but left a small group of Imperial soldier s under Commander Graul to guard the facility , along with several Mark I Power Guard s . The soldiers and Power Guards were ultimately no match for the Jedi Knight , who recovered Graul ' s datapad after the fight and used it to track down the project . Prelude . In 3643 BBY , during the Cold War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire , the Sith Lord Darth Angral declared a personal war against the Republic after the death of his son , Tarnis . Using stolen information on the Republic superweapon initiative , Angral dispatched his apprentices to seize control of several Republic superweapon programs . Angral ' s apprentice , Lord Sadic , was sent to the moon Nar Shaddaa , where the Republic had been developing the Power Guard Enhancement System — a program of cybernetic enhancements and adrenal stimulants that produced supersoldiers . After capturing the Power Guard recruitment center , Sadic learned of the main Power Guard Cybernetics Lab ' s location in Nar Shaddaa ' s Red Light Sector , and his forces quickly took control of the facility . However , when Sadic learned of a young Jedi Knight ' s arrival at the recruitment center and that the Knight was searching for the cybernetics lab , the Sith ordered his forces to take the project data and equipment to his lab in the prison district of Shadow Town . Sadic left Commander Graul and several Mark I Power Guard s to guard the facility , as Graul wanted revenge on the Jedi for the deaths of the Imperials who had been guarding the recruitment center . With the help of the Republic Strategic Information Service , the Republic ' s intelligence agency , the Jedi Knight and a companion tracked down the lab by damaging power conduits throughout the Red Light Sector in order to determine which building had a separate power source . The skirmish . Entering the lab , the Knight and a companion dispatched the guards and the two scientists within the facility . When the duo reached Graul in the main chamber , they were greeted by a hologram of Sadic , who applauded the Knight ' s efforts . Anxious to avenge his men ' s deaths , Graul activated the three Mark I Power Guards that were still in the lab , and Sadic ended the communication as battle was joined . Though the Power Guards were equipped with advanced armor and weapons , Graul and the Power Guards were unable to defeat the Knight and the Jedi ' s companion , who killed the officer and dispatched the droid - like supersoldiers . Aftermath . After the fighting ended , the Knight searched Graul ' s body and discovered an encrypted datapad , though the rest of the facility yielded no clues as to Sadic ' s location . The Knight reported the find to SIS Chief Rieekan , who told the Jedi to bring it back to the SIS safe house at the Promenade shopping complex . However , Sadic was aware of the safe house ' s existence and dispatched Mark II Power Guard s to eliminate the SIS agents there ; the Knight only arrived in time to save some of the agents . Behind the scenes . The fight in the cybernetics lab first appeared in the Jedi Knight - class mission " Red Light , Black Heart " on Nar Shaddaa in " " , a video game released by BioWare in 2011 .
