"I'm friendly with the Republic commander in charge of the blockade. I can get you in and out of the village."
―Viidu[1]

An individual served as the commander of the Galactic Republic and Mantellian Army forces blockading Talloran village on the planet Ord Mantell, during the Separatist War between the Republic-aligned Ord Mantell Central Authority and the Mantellian Separatist Movement. According to Viidu, he and the blockade commander were 'friendly'. In the year 3643 BBY,[2] when Viidu sent the smuggler who would later be known as the Voidhound to Talloran village to meet with Reki, he assured the smuggler that the Republic commander would let them in provided the smuggler killed a few separatists.[1]

Behind the scenes

The Republic commander was first mentioned in dialogue between the player and Viidu in the Smuggler class mission "Desperate Times", in the 2011 massively multiplayer online roleplaying video game Star Wars: The Old Republic, developed by BioWare and LucasArts.[1]

  2. ↑ 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. As the conversation between Vididu and the player occurs during the Smuggler prologue, it can be inferred it takes place during 3643 BBY.
