Second Mission to Coruscant (Disciples of Ragnos crisis)

"Do you think you can just barge in here and take me into custody Jedi!"

- Lannik Racto to Jaden Korr just before he destroys the bridge from the landing pad to his office

This mission took place in 14 ABY, during the Disciples of Ragnos crisis.

Background
After receiving reports of illegal assassin droids flooding the Invisible Market, the New Republic contacted the New Jedi Order to capture Lannik Racto, believed to be behind the influx of illegal droids. Jaden Korr, a Jedi from Coruscant was given the mission.

Mission


Having tracked down the location of Racto, Jaden flew his Z-95 Headhunter to a landing platform near the warehouse. As Jaden approached a bridge leading to the office, Racto appeared, mocked Jaden, and set off explosives destroying the bridge.

This forced Jaden to find another way around, but knowing Coruscant this proved no great difficulty for him, although a number of mercenaries and assassin droids were dispatched along the route to ambush Jaden. Jaden prevailed over all these attempts and finally reached Racto's warehouse.

Inside he was confronted by Sith cultists, who he defeated easily. Heading upstairs, he surprised Lannik Racto, who presumed he would have been defeated. Playing his one last card, Lannik sealed himself in a blast-proof room and unleased a squad of his assassin droids on Jaden. When all was quiet, Lannik unsealed himself presuming Jaden's death. Jaden ignited his lightsaber across Lannik's throat, and Lannik meekly surrendered.

Aftermath
With Lannik Racto in custody, having confessed the location of his factory on Nar Shaddaa, the New Republic was able to quickly shut it down (Jaden would later encounter some of the droids on Vjun). For the Jedi Order, it meant one more supporter and financial backer of the Cult of Ragnos was neutralized. In Lannik's office were a number of artifacts, including a bust of Marka Ragnos which the Jedi Order took into custody.
