A Rodian male , Vistis Garn became an accomplished smuggler and thief during the Cold War between the Republic and the Sith Empire . By 3643 BBY , Garn was working part - time for the criminal organization known as the Migrant Merchants ' Guild on the Republic capital planet of Coruscant , but he also freelanced for other organizations . Garn had been successful enough to draw the attention of the Coruscant Security Force , who maintained a case file # 1142 - 235 - 3721 on the Rodian and offered a reward for his arrest . That same year , the Sith Lord Tarnis — who was masquerading as a Republic scientist named Eli Tarnis — hired the Black Sun criminal syndicate to steal the design files for the Planet Prison , his own superweapon project . While the Guild and Black Sun were rivals , Black Sun gave the job to Garn , who worked with a Guild team to infiltrate a Republic warehouse . Garn and his team — which consisted of two Rodian thieves , three Ongree slicers , and an Abyssin guard — sliced into the building ' s computer network , stole the files , and escaped with a shipment of munitions , weapons , and rockets , but not before Garn was seen briefly by a security camera . Returning to the Old Galactic Market — the region under the Merchants ' Guild ' s control — Garn and his team reported to a Guild warehouse . While Guild members unloaded the stolen weapons with the help of a security droid , one of the slicers decrypted the design files . As soon as the slicer finished , Garn secretly sent a copy to his employers in Black Sun . However , the Republic Strategic Information Service had identified Garn on a security recording , and the former apprentice of Jedi Master Orgus Din was sent to recover both the files and the stolen weapons . The Jedi Knight and the Jedi ' s companion , the astromech droid T7 - O1 , stormed the warehouse and defeated the Guild members . Upon realizing the warehouse was under attack , Garn sealed himself inside the warehouse ' s secure room . Recovering the weapons , the Knight cut open the security door and confronted the criminal . Realizing that his enemy was a Jedi , Garn apologized and activated a quartet of autoturrets in an attempt to kill the Knight and T7 . However , the pair were able to disable the turrets and disarm the Rodian without much trouble , and Garn quickly surrendered . Learning that the Knight was searching for the design files , he freely gave them to the Jedi and offered to give up the names and locations of his employers if the Knight would allow him to leave . The Jedi agreed , and let the Rodian depart in peace after learning that he had been hired by Black Sun . Thanking the Jedi and the droid , Garn told them that he planned to go stay with friends on the Smuggler ' s Moon of Nar Shaddaa . Personality and traits .
