Oblivion's Gate Incident

The event that came to be known as the Oblivion's Gate incident began with the Dark Jedi Tinross' plans to perform a coup in the Galactic Senate. To this end he allied himself with the Ratann-Narn party, a radical political movement with ties to the wealthy Traviss Corporation. Utilizing ancient Rakatan technology combined with their own scientific breakthroughs, they began construction of the Oblivion's Gate, a device capable of generating a black hole.

Tinross' plans hit a snag on Korjainni. After kidnapping the Prime Minister in order to distract local police forces, Tinross used his plans to aquire and smuggle offworld some valuable military hardware needed to complete the Oblivion's Gate. Two Jedi, Tion Doran and his Padawan Jarat Shimell'elio, discovered his plans and rescued the Prime Minister. However, they were unable to prevent him from leaving Korjainni with the hardware.
