Mission to Teth

The **Mission to Teth** was a job undertaken by Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi during the Republic Era. They traveled to Teth to investigate missing shuttles and transports in the system. Despite a bumpy arrival, negotiation prevailed and brought an end to the situation.

## Prelude

##### Previous:

During the Republic Era, worlds in the Outer Rim had been suffering without the aid of supplies and medicine that member worlds of the Galactic Republic had. In response to this, Thurible, the majordomo to Wanbo the Hutt, who had the true power over the Teth system while Wanbo remained high on his spice supplies, began sending mercenaries to attack and steal supplies and trading exports passing across the Outer Rim and then using them to aid planets further across the Outer Rim, stealing from the Republic to aid non-member worlds.

In response to the loss of their transports, the Republic sent out scouts to shut down Thurible's theft program. They learn that the robberies are likely a result of Thurible's leadership. Unable to interfere on Teth, the Republic sends Jedi Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi to deal with the robberies and end them.

## Recount

#### Deadly Misunderstandings

Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan Kenobi landed at Wanbo's Citadel on Teth, infiltrating the compound. Once inside they came under fire almost immediately by Wanbo's Gamorrean Guards. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan ran through the compound, dodging the blaster fire. Qui-Gon observed that his Padawan was winded during their escape very quickly and began to compare himself to his own performance at Obi-Wan's age, wondering if Obi-Wan was falling behind. He stopped himself however, feeling that such comparisons were both unhelpful and unfair.

The pair fled into a spice den where they found Wanbo the Hutt surrounded by his guests all of which were high on spice that sat thickly in the air. They were then attacked by the Gamorrean Guards within the spice den. Surrounded on all sides, the Jedi leapt into the air onto floating platforms that held musical performers. From their they defended themselves from blaster fire. Qui-Gon gave Obi-Wan a quick instruction about the door, leading to Obi-Wan destroying the door panel that caused the door to close and lock, locking them inside... not what Qui-Gon had meant with his instruction.

He then leapt from his vantage point and placed his lightsaber to Wanbo's throat. This ended the attack. Using Wanbo as a hostage, Qui-Gon ordered Obi-Wan to escape to the shuttle bay and find a shuttle on which they could escape the compound. As Obi-Wan left, Qui-Gon began requesting that Wanbo inform and end the raids on Republic shuttles. Such pleads were fruitless. Qui-Gon activated Wanbo's dais that then lowered into the lower levels of the compound. They landed in the shuttle bay where Thurible held Obi-Wan hostage. Both with a hostage, Qui-Gon and Thurible eventually came to stand down. They then went into Thurible's office where they began peaceful negotiations.

## Aftermath

After returning to Coruscant, Qui-Gon was offered a seat on the Jedi Council. This created an uncomfortable rift between Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan.
