In 3643 BBY , during the Cold War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire , the Sith Lord Tarnis was killed in a duel with a young Jedi Knight on the Republic ' s capital planet of Coruscant . However , Tarnis ' s father , Darth Angral , witnessed his son ' s death , and the elder Sith declared war upon the Republic and the Jedi Order in revenge , using information on the Republic superweapon initiative given to him by his son — who had been undercover as a Republic scientist before his death — to seize control of the Republic ' s superweapon projects . One of these projects was the Death Mark laser , which was being developed on the planet Alderaan , and Angral ' s apprentice Nefarid captured the weapon despite Jedi Master Orgus Din ' s attempts to defend it . Din was the former teacher of the Jedi Knight who had killed Tarnis , and , after the former student rescued the Jedi Master from the ruins of the Mensaav Military Laboratory — the research facility that housed the Death Mark project — the two Jedi learned that Nefarid was randomly targeting Alderaanians with the Death Mark . The Imperial spy Aleyna Hark had been seen near the mountain compound of the Alderaanian noble Duke Horis Thul , and , while the Knight rushed to the compound to prevent Thul ' s assassination , Din claimed that he would track down Nefarid and the Death Mark . However , Din lied — following the call of the Force , he located Angral ' s warship , the " Oppressor " , on the edges of the Alderaan system . The mission . Deciding to put a stop to the crisis involving Angral , Din prepared to board the " Oppressor " and confront the Sith . When contacted by his former apprentice , Din confessed the truth , and he wished the Knight luck on confronting Nefarid in the Sith ' s stronghold . Din infiltrated the " Oppressor " before it left the star system , but he was only able to plant a homing beacon on the starship before he was detected by the vessel ' s security forces . Wounded , the Jedi Master was brought before Angral on the ship ' s bridge , and the Sith Lord broadcast a transmission of the events on the bridge across the entire HoloNet . Din ' s former apprentice had just attacked Nefarid ' s base on Alderaan , and the Sith decided to display the feed from the " Oppressor " in order to torment his opponent . Upon being presented with Din , with whom Angral had maintained a rivalry since the end of the Great Galactic War between the Republic and the Empire almost a decade earlier , the Sith Lord mocked his opponent ' s attempt and questioned whether Din was ready to die . Angral then stabbed the Jedi through the abdomen , killing his opponent . Aftermath . Before departing the Alderaan system , Angral ordered Din ' s body to be shot into space , though a Republic shuttle later recovered the Jedi Master ' s corpse and returned it to the Jedi homeworld of Tython for a proper burial . Despite witnessing Din ' s death , the Knight defeated Nefarid in battle and destroyed the Death Mark . Angral then traveled to the Uphrades system , where he used his recently - constructed Desolator superweapon to attack the Republic agriworld of Uphrades — an action that killed millions of civilians . General Var Suthra of the Republic Military used Din ' s tracking beacon to locate the " Oppressor " , though Din ' s former student was unable to catch up to Angral until the Sith attacked Tython itself and forced a confrontation with the young Jedi .
