Area Background
The Research facility was created as means for the Sith Empire to design any new kinds of products that could help them in the current civil war such as maybe finding a way to create even more powerful weapons, armor, or battleships. Shortly before the start of the game, the people working there were making some kind of bio-chemical which was planned to be used against the Rogue’s however a couple of spies working for them discovered the project and used it against them. While both spies did die in the skirmish there were able to kill almost everyone in the research base save for the PC, Scarlett, and the two droids. Meanwhile on the guard ship, the caption and one of the spies both send out distress messages each to their own factions before dying themselves along with everyone else on board. Shortly later on Rogue Generals Naiko and Darth Namla followed by Byron with a small team shortly after.
