Mission to Talay

The Mission to Talay took place on the planet Talay, during which the Rebel Alliance first witnessed the Dark Trooper project.

Prelude
After the Battle of Talay, where the existence of a never-before-seen kind of Imperial super-soldiers was witnessed, mercenary Kyle Katarn was contacted again by Mon Mothma to investigate what happened to the Tak Base.

Leia Organa mistrusted Katarn, but Mon Mothma insisted because of his efficiency during the Battle of Danuta and Operation Skyhook. Katarn demanded that he would be accompanied by Jan Ors, his old friend.

The mission
When the Moldy Crow left Katarn on the surface, he first saw the ruined base, along with the ruins of the city settlements; the ground was scattered with dead burnt bodies, the result of the massacre. The whole city was now "inhabited" by stormtroopers who secured the place.

Initially, he saw that the whole area was devoid of power. Defending himself from the Stormtroopers, he managed to reach and restart the hydro-electric power generator.

With power now activated, he was able to activate the rotating bridge which connected the city with the main Tak Base. The Base was far more heavily guarded, but Katarn reached the headquarters and found a discarded Imperial Repeater, too large to be carried by a normal Human soldier. Considering this finding important, he took it and returned to his ship.
