Tiniyan Prison break

In 22 BBY, the assassin Astariax Drago led a prison break at Tiniyan Prison on  to rescue Nicora Otsana, Drago's lover and the mother of his unborn son.

Background
Drago and Cora conducted an operation on Balmorra early in 22 BBY, on behalf of Arba Trinivii Jesaal; Drago exfiltrated the planet successfully, but Cora was captured, releasing an audio of her capture to Drago. She had recently become pregnant and so, in prison, she killed both a guard and a fellow inmate to ensure she was kept in solitary confinement. interrogators visited her periodically, seeking information on her contacts, but she refused to talk.

Drago searched Cora's ship and discovered her pregnancy. Keeping it secret, he leaned on Arba to contribute to a rescue operation. The Hutt was not thrilled to sponsor such a risky venture, but Drago carefully nursed a worry that the Republic might get Cora to talk; the Nagai needed Arba's help, but did not want the Hutt to simply try to have someone on the inside kill Cora. Arba did contribute his intelligence network, which discovered Cora was slated to be moved to for interrogation by s.

In the end, Arba grudgingly gave Drago money for the operation, as well as the services of the bounty hunter Nakossk. Drago also called in a favor, recruiting his friend Tak Sakaros for the mission. Tak was the only person Drago told of Cora's pregnancy, and the Sith Lord was eager to help.

Recon
Drago and Nakossk landed on Balmorra, leaving Drago's Cutting Edge in a docking bay and scoping out the prison every day. Tak sometimes joined them and sometimes conducted his own reconnaissance, but ultimately reported he could not simply his way all the way through the prison and exit with Cora.

Now or never
When Arba's people reported that Cora was to be transferred in twenty-four hours, Drago finally told Nakossk of the pregnancy and planned to act that night. Tak disabled the prison's security feed and perimeter wall defenses while Drago and Nakossk infiltrated, killing guards along the way. As they made their way to the prison control room, however, they were forced to gun down a pair of guards, and Tak blew up a fire control system as a distraction.

With the prison on high alert, the Nagai and the Trandoshan simply murdered all the guards in the control room, then released all the prisoners simultaneously to cause confusion and aid Tak, who was being pursued by guards. Cora, meanwhile, killed one of her guards and stunned the other, escaping until she found Drago and Nakossk.

Got your back
Judicials had arrived to transport Cora, accompanied by the Waarka. Tak sensed the Jedi's presence and warned Drago to hurry, but by the time the three managed to fight their way to the service entrance, they found two Judicials and the Jedi waiting for them. Drago prepared to fight, hoping Nakossk could escape with Cora, but Tak took down the Judicials with es and squared off against Waarka, challenging him to a duel to allow his friend to escape.

Drago and Nakossk killed their way back through the prison, towing Cora along, finally blowing out a cell wall and rappelling to escape. Tak, meanwhile, killed Waarka after receiving a lightsaber cut on his left cheek which was to leave a distinctive scar. Drago, Cora, and Nakossk blasted off through Balmorran security aboard the Cutting Edge; Tak lingered onworld to let suspicion pass, then fled in his own.

Aftermath
Drago deposited Nakossk back on, but did not return to Arba himself, instead taking Cora away from both the Hutt and the brewing. Investigating the riot at Tiniyan, Judicials discovered the dead Jedi and reported the matter to the, but before anything could be determined, the erupted at the.
