The title of this article is conjectural.

Although this article is based on official information from the Star Wars Legends continuity, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.

During the Separatist War on Ord Mantell, forces of the Mantellian Separatist Movement took over and occupied the settlement of Talloran village.[5] Talloran was one of the first settlements the Separatists infiltrated when they arrived on the island of Avilatan, and the Separatist agents found sympathizers in many of the local working-class people, who were angry over the exploitation and abuse of them by corrupt members of the Ord Mantell Central Authority, and got them to agree to help secure the village.[4] The takeover did not begin until after the Separatists had conquered the small island of Mannett Point,[1] and the husbands of some local women died defending the village. In order to contain the Separatists, the Central Authority's backers in the Galactic Republic set up a Blockade of Talloran village,[2] which resulted in food shortages inside the walls of the settlement.[4]

Behind the scenes

"How did the Separatists manage to take over a whole town?"
"Separatists have sympathizers in every village, helping them to hold towns they take over. Traitors."
―The future Voidhound and Viidu in one dialogue option for the mission "Desperate Times"[2]

The Separatist takeover of Talloran village was first mentioned in the 2011 video game Star Wars: The Old Republic, during the Prologue of the Smuggler class[5] and in the Codex entry "Talloran Village".[4]

Notes and references

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 As Reki is forced to leave Mannett Point because the Mantellian Separatist Movement attacks it and arrives in Talloran village before the Separatist takeover, it can be inferred that Mannet Point was attacked before Talloran.

  3. ↑ SWTOR mini STAR WARS: The Old Republic - Question ! :) - Page 3 on The Old Republic's official website (backup link) places Star Wars: The Old Republic 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 Old Republic — The Lost Suns 2 takes place ten years after the treaty, one week after the mission to Nar Shaddaa, and around the time of the SpecForce Incident. Since the mission and the incident are respectively part of Act I of the Jedi Knight and Republic Trooper's storylines, and the Trooper's Act I occurs concurrent to Act I of the Smuggler storyline, the general events of the Prologue and Act I for all classes can be assumed to occur in 3643 BBY. Given that Talloran village has already been taken over by the Smuggler prolouge, it can be assumed that the takeover occurred in or before 3643 BBY.
