"Republic SIS raided an Imperial Intelligence base on Nar Shaddaa. This information was among dozens of classified data files they recovered."

―Leeha Narezz^[1]

Around 3642 BBY,^[2] during the early days of the Galactic War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire, the Strategic Information Service, the Republic's intelligence agency, conducted a raid on a base of their rival organization, Imperial Intelligence on the moon Nar Shaddaa. The SIS agents were able to recover a significant number of classified data files from the base, and upon discovering that one of the files included information on a scientist who had worked on the space station of the Sith Emperor, the SIS forwarded the file to Jedi Master Tol Braga. Braga dispatched the Jedi Knight Leeha Narezz to the planet Hoth in order to recover the scientist's shuttle and the station's technical readouts as part of his plan to capture the Emperor.^[1]

Behind the scenes

The raid was first mentioned in the mission "Suicide Squads" for the Jedi Knight class in Star Wars: The Old Republic, a video game released by BioWare in 2011.

↑ ^2.0 ^2.1 STAR WARS: The Old Republic - Question ! :) - Page 3 on The Old Republic's official website (backup link) places Star Wars: The Old Republic's base game content about ten to twelve years after the signing of the Treaty of Coruscant, which is dated to 3653 BBY by Star Wars: The Old Republic Encyclopedia. The Prologue and Act I of the class storylines are assumed to take place in 3643 BBY, as they are roughly concurrent to each other and the Jedi Knight Act I storyline is dated to 3643 BBY by The Old Republic — The Lost Suns 2. Additionally, Forums: Dear Story Team, What Year Are We Currently In? on The Old Republic's official website (backup link) and Star Wars: The Old Republic Encyclopedia establish that the Battle of Ilum and the end of Act III for the class stories occur in 3640 BBY. Additionally, Act II for all classes, while featuring conflict between the two factions, occurs prior to the official collapse of the Treaty of Coruscant, which The Old Republic: Annihilation places in the middle of 3641 BBY. Taken together, this means that base game content spans from 3643 BBY to 3640 BBY, and the class storylines extend over this period, this article assumes that Act II takes place within 3642 BBY and the first half of 3641 BBY.
