Talk:Taris/Legends


 * How do we know the Outcasts survived? It's a nice idea, one which I personally consider to be true, but is there a source for this? I don't remember anything of the sort being said in game. --Fade 15:36, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Scratch this, I've since been reminded of Carth's statement that "nothing above two stories was left standing." Incidentally, that's probably why I believed they had survived in the first place. --Fade 19:27, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Also, how do we know that all the Tarisian characters of the game died at the bombardment? It's very possible that when the bombardment begun, they had some time to evacuate and go to the lower levels, at least many of them. I suggest we add a 'probably' when we mention death dates of Tarisians. 62.74.5.144 23:00, 4 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Racism
Could Taris have been modeled after Apartheid era South Africa? This is evident by the Upper City being reserved only for Humans and the Lower City reserved for Aliens and outcasts. Probably, only humans on Taris were allowed skilled professions while aliens were confined to unskilled jobs. Humans may also have had more rights than alien citizens of Taris. Zainal
 * I'm against including any speculation in Star Wars articles. Especially real-world political speculation. - Sikon [ Talk ] 04:37, 9 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Cleanup?
Does this article still need to be cleaned up? It looks great to me. Hollis 23:48, 15 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Affiliation

 * If Taris wasn't a member of the Old Republic at the time of the Jedi Civil War, why was there a Jedi Temple on the planet. -- SFH 02:52, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I tend to agree with you, but we arent that familiar on how the jedi worked at that point, they didnt want to get involved with the war, so maybe they were more independant then. I say wait and see what more KOTOR comics hold. Lonnyd 12:30, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Blockade
What the? Massive battle of Taris? For all we know, Endar Spire was simply headed to another planet and stopped off over Taris, only to get ambushed. There's no evidence the Sith even held the planet before the Spire arrived. --Fade 15:40, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * It seemed like the Sith presence on Taris wasn't brand new during the game. They had their military base up and running, and none of the dialogue indicated that the Sith had just got there. But yeah, I didn't think the Endar Spire was there for a fight. -LtNOWIS 12:32, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Seemed to me that the Sith being there was certainly recent news, and the government droid calls them the 'new' Sith rulers. I've always understood the dialogue to mean the Sith only took over the planet when Bastila landed. And Revan was out for a good few days, which is plenty of time for the military base to get up and running. I don't remember anything that suggested their occupation preceded the events surrounding the Spire. --Fade 14:55, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Republic membership
Where was it mentioned that Taris wasn't in the Republic? Logically, it being a trade hub for over a century, it having a Republic military base and the fact that the Mandalorians attacked it after they started attacking Republic worlds would suggest it was a member. So is there some evidence to the contrary in the game? --Fade 15:06, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Bumani Exchange Corporation
When were they on Taris? They were a dummy company on Citadel Station over Telos IV. Seems like someone got mixed up Phillowe88 19:30, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
 * If nobody can find proof for bumani to be here in a week i'll remove the link Phillowe88 04:08, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, the exchange was on Taris. Not sure if it was the Bumani Corp...-Redemption 04:10, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Bumani was just a dummy company run by Lopak Slusk on Telos IV. Davik Kang ran Exchange operations on Taris. While it's safe to assume Davik used sham companies i doubt that the Bumani Exchange Corp was one of them Phillowe88 04:15, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
 * This is correct. - Sikon [ Talk ] 04:19, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Appearance in Empire At War
Do we ever get to see the surface of Taris on that new game? What all do we do with this planet on Empire At War? --68.102.193.78 14:23, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * There is a promotional image on LucasArts' website, it's in the article. - Sikon [ Talk ] 15:39, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Skyscrape
I have noticed that in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic video game, that the Tarisian skyscrape is different than the Tarisian skyscrape on the Xbox game. I wondered if this just happened to be a mistake that the sky is composed of only stars on the PC game, or if Taris, indeed, lacks an atmosphere? I also noticed that the skyscrape on Tatooine is differs as well on the PC and Xbox games.
