"We will sow fear in the Galaxy once more. Once more the Galaxy will know the Dread Masters. The Galaxy will bow before us!"

- Dread Master Raptus against Darth Nox, Nova 7 and Cipher Nine

Getting word the Dark Council want the Dread Masters to be freed from their tombs, after the recent discovery by a Nova Branch operative that the Republic has been holding them on Belsavis, Darth Marr dispatches Cipher Nine to meet up with Commander Callum on Belsavis. Commander Callum is informed that Cipher Nine will lead the liberation attempt of the Dread Masters. Cipher Nine, however, brings Lord Noomi with him, against the will of the Dark Council, who is strongly influenced by Darth Thanaton. Noomi and Cipher Nine meet up with Commander Callum, who informs them they will need to spread chaos at Belsavis first, to turn the Republic away from their true goal, the Dread Masters. When they have done so, they must meet with an operative hidden deep within the Tomb and he will bring them into the High Security Vaults.

After having set free the prisoners in certain cell blocks, occupying the Republic's vision, Noomi and Cipher Nine venture into the Tombs, where they meet with the operative, who turns out to be Nova 7.
