Mission to Ord Mantell (Desolator crisis)

During the Cold War between the Galactic Republic and the reconstituted Sith Empire, a young Jedi Knight and crew were sent on a mission to the planet Ord Mantell in order to determine what the Sith Lord Darth Angral was planning in his campaign of vengeance for the death of his son Tarnis at the hands of the Knight. Along with the astromech droid T7-O1, also known as Teeseven, the Jedi attacked an Imperial listening post near the island of Avilatan in order to gain access to the facility's hyperspace data transceiver. The two were successful in their mission, though the Imperial soldier Lieutenant Marcovic destroyed the transceiver before they could download everything, but the Knight's Padawan Kira Carsen was captured by Darth Angral's retainers aboard the Ord Mantell Orbital Station. Carsen managed to convince Angral that her Master was on the planet Corellia, and the Knight freed her from the clutches of the Sith Inquisitor Ferav when the Jedi returned to the station with Teeseven. Thanks to the information gathered from Ord Mantell, the Republic scientist Nasan Godera was able to identify a flaw in Angral's planet-killing Desolator superweapon, and the Knight and Carsen used his discovery to disable the Desolator before Angral attacked the Jedi homeworld of Tython.
