Mission to Taspir III

The Mission to Taspir III was carried out by Jedi Knights Jaden Korr and Kyle Katarn for the New Jedi Order.

Background
As the New Jedi Order was mobilizing to intercept the Disciples of Ragnos on Korriban, Kyle Katarn informed his student Jaden Korr that he had recieved a distress call from Rosh Penin, who said he was being held captive on Taspir III. Korr was dubious because Penin had previously turned to the dark side, and feared a trap, but he agreed to help Kyle nonetheless.

The Mission
The two Jedi arrived at an Imperial industrial plant on the barren, lava-ridden surface of Taspir III. Kyle dropped Jaden off at the back entrance of the plant and flew the Raven's Claw around to enter from the front. Korr proceded through the complex, climbing the levels of the tall towers and crossing perilous bridges, dispatching scores of Imperial troops and dark jedi along the way. Eventually, he managed to gain entrance to the inner facilities and encountered the dark Jedi Alora, who taunted him and fled. Korr pursued her through the facility, navigating dangerous assembly lines and various heavy machinery. During the chase Korr became increasingly frustrated and angry, trading perilously close to the dark side.

Alora eventulally led him to Rosh, whom Jaden confronted in his rage. Alora encouraged him to kill Rosh, believing that if he could be turned he would be a powerful ally. Kyle, in another part of the plant, telepathically urged Jaden to resist temptation. Jaden gave in to his hate and struck his former friend down, completing his shift to the dark side. Alora was impressed, but Korr then refused to join the Disciples of Ragnos. After a short but intense battle, Jaden managed to defeat Alora by holding her choking in midair and then stabbing here from behind. The former Jedi then swiftly departed, just moments before Kyle arrived.

Rosh, seconds before he expired, told Kyle of Jaden's choice. Katarn then left to persue Jaden.
