Mission to Vjun (Disciples of Ragnos crisis)

The Mission to Vjun was carried out by Jedi Master Kyle Katarn and his student, Jaden Korr for the New Jedi Order.

Background
Following the capture of Rosh Penin by the Imperial Remnant, Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker continued to send the members of the New Jedi Order out to various locations that could be targeted for Dark Side energy by the Disciples of Ragnos and the Remnant. He assigned Kyle Katarn and Jaden Korr to Vjun to investigate Bast Castle, one of Darth Vader’s former strongholds.

Infiltration of Bast Castle
Landing their ship, the Raven's Claw, in the vicinity of the castle, Kyle and Jaden were immediately faced with the hazards of Vjun’s acid rain. Using the Force to protect themselves, they came across Imperial Remnant hazard troopers. After fending off the brutish soldiers, the two Jedi made their way through the canyons to the castle, fighting more Imperials as they went. At one point, after being pinned down by TIE Bombers, Kyle and Jaden discovered a nearby turbolaser. The two split up and made their way to the turbolaser. Jaden defeated a number of Imperials and Cultists, but when he approached the doorway to the turbolaser, he encountered a Reborn, a Dark Side soldier last seen during Desann's attack on Yavin IV. After defeating the Reborn in lightsaber combat and destroying the TIE Bombers, Jaden met back up with Kyle and they managed their way into the lower levels Bast Castle.

Inside Bast Castle
“No one ever said being a Jedi was glamorous” – Kyle Katarn before entering the garbage pit.

Upon entering the lower levels of the Castle, Kyle and Jaden realized that they were in the garbage disposal chambers. Much to the chagrin of Kyle, they had to enter the garbage pit in order to reach the upper levels of the Castle. Kyle and Jaden ascended further up Bast Castle by destroying a number of electrical pipes and using them to get through a hole they created in the ceiling. After destroying a power generator, Kyle and Jaden entered the main halls of Bast Castle and split up yet again.

Battling more Imperials as well as assassin droids and droids with lightsabers, Jaden eventually came to one of the main chambers of the Castle, which had the toppled remains of a statue of Darth Vader. Battling more New Reborn, Jaden knew he was getting close.

Upon entering the next room, where the Cult was gathering the Dark Side energy of the Castle, Jaden found Rosh and the Reborn Twins, Vil and Dasariah Kothos. Thinking that Rosh was being held prisoner, Jaden urged his fellow Jedi to come with him, however that wasn’t the case. Rosh, noticeably more somber, revealed to Jaden that he in fact was the newest member of the Disciples of Ragnos. Though he was against fighting his friend, Jaden was forced to engage in a duel with Rosh. Jaden seemed to be the more advanced fighter, however, Rosh would be constantly rejuvenated with energy transferred to him by the Reborn Twins. Jaden changed tactics and slayed the Twins first before taking Rosh down. Rosh was then accompanied by his new master, Tavion Axmis, the former apprentice of Desann, who then revealed herself as the leader of the Disciples of Ragnos. She took Jaden’s lightsaber just as Kyle made it to the chamber. After a brief exchange of words between Tavion and Kyle, Tavion and Rosh made their escape and Jaden and Kyle headed back to Yavin IV.

Aftermath
After informing Luke of the events on Vjun, Jaden constructed a new lightsaber to replace the one he lost at Bast Castle, and soon was sent on more missions to find the Disciples of Ragnos.
