Jonas Balkar Jonas Balkar was a male Human who served the Galactic Republic as a member of the Republic Strategic Information Service during the Cold War against the Sith Empire . Biography . Havoc Squad . While stationed on Nar Shaddaa , Balkar received a message from General Elin Garza of Republic Special Forces , requesting his assistance in tracking down rogue droid M1 - 4X . Balkar met Havoc ' s commanding officer in a cantina and told the lieutenant that Forex was being used to rob a bank . Havoc ' s commander set out and tried to stop Forex , and Balkar tapped into the bank ' s security holos , though he could not receive audio . After Havoc ' s commander defeated a team of soldiers , Balkar contacted the lieutenant and asked who the soldiers had been . Though Garza had ordered the lieutenant not to tell anyone , the lieutenant told Balkar that they were Special Forces soldiers who had defected . After Balkar helped the lieutenant defeat Forex , he had his technicians reprogram Forex to serve as a new member of Havoc Squad . He then called General Garza , angry at not having been told about the defections . Garza reprimanded the lieutenant and told Balkar that he hadn ' t needed to know . Helping Jorgan . Later , Havoc ' s lieutenant , along with sergeant Aric Jorgan , met Balkar in the same cantina on Nar Shaddaa and asked for his help finding the Deadeyes , Jorgan ' s old squad . Balkar was told he was not allowed to assist , though he covertly told the lieutenant that he could look in the Imperial prison on Nar Shaddaa . When the lieutenant and Jorgan returned , Senior Agent Zane of the SIS was in the middle of reprimanding Balkar . When Havoc claimed responsibility for the prison break , Zane advised them from further interference in getting the Deadeyes back by peaceful means . When Zane left , Balkar asked Havoc why they have to get him in trouble . Havoc ' s CO explained that they have coordinates to where the Deadeyes were shipped to decrypt . Balkar decline to aid them again with Zane breathing over his neck , but he did refer Jorgan to a contact in Signal Intelligence , but Zane later interfered . Later Activities . Afterward , Balkar was stationed on Tatooine when a Republic agent crashed there , and he directed Havoc ' s commander , now promoted to captain , to the crash site . When the captain and his team rescued the agent , they were informed of a secret Imperial weapon called the Gauntlet , and Garza ordered Havoc to destroy it . When that had been done , Balkar sent the captain — now promoted to major — a letter congratulating him on the Gauntlet ' s destruction . Some time after General Arkos Rakton declared war against the Republic and Havoc Squad performed missions across the galaxy to reinforce the Republic offensive , was the latter recalled to Coruscant for a Senate hearing regarding the squad ' s activities . Balkar and Garza met with the major at the spaceport , explaining that the hearing is in fact a sham , held by Senator Grom Zian , an Imperial agent bought off by Imperial Intelligence . Under Rakton ' s direction , Zian intends to make out Havoc Squad as a loose cannon , thereby getting the squad suspended so he can turn the war in his favor . Balkar produces evidence gathered by the SIS proving Zian ' s Imperial ties . The evidence is indisputable , including holorecordings of Zian ' s meetings with Imperial agents and bank records of the bribes he received . Garza instructed the major to present the evidence at the hearing . The Senate will have to investigate and arrest Zian for high treason , allowing SpecForce to resume operations . Before parting company , Balkar encouraged the major to have fun . Behind the scenes . On the initial Nar Shaddaa mission , the player can choose not to inform Balkar about the SpecForce defections , resulting in Balkar being unhappy with both Garza and the Havoc commander when he learns the truth . The player can also choose whether to contact Balkar to help decode the coordinates the location of the Deadeyes . If so , though Balkar would be reluctant , he will agree to call in a few favors . In " Knights of the Fallen Empire " , Balkar will be mentioned briefly by Theron Shan , as a mutual old friend if the Outlander is a Republic Trooper .
