Skirmish in the Kalikori village fields

"Matriarch! Flesh Raiders broke through our defenses. They did something to our crop fields!"

- Eseni

During the Flesh Raider uprising on the Deep Core world of Tython during the Cold War, the apprentice of Jedi Master Orgus Din was forced to defend Kalikori Village's agricultural fields from an attack by Flesh Raider saboteurs.

Prelude
"I shut down the energy shield. Any word on Master Orgus' mission?" "No. My mother&hellip; she found peace during your absence. I'm now Matriarch."

- The Padawan and Ranna Tao'ven

Near the end of the Cold War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire, the native Flesh Raiders of the Jedi Order's homeworld of Tython began attacking in greater numbers. The Order had recently discovered that the former Padawan of Jedi Master Orgus Din, the Nautolan Bengel Morr&mdash;who had vanished during the Sacking of Coruscant over ten years ago&mdash;was the mastermind behind the Flesh Raiders' invasion. Din's newest Padawan had been sent to disable a Flesh Raider shield generator so that another team of Jedi could attack a nearby base.

However, after disabling the generator, the Padawan was contacted by Bengel Morr, who warned the Jedi that he planned to destroy the Order. Worried about Morr's plans, the apprentice raced back to the Twi'lek pilgrim village of Kalikori, looking for Master Din to warn him.

The raid
"I've never heard of anything like this before." "If these machines can poison us, they can destroy our crops as well. Please, help us. Jedi are strong. You can resist the machines and destroy them."

- Tao'ven begs the Padawan for help

When the Padawan arrived back at the Matriarch's compound, the Jedi was greeted by Ranna Tao'ven&mdash;her mother Sumari had died while the Padawan was gone, making Tao'ven the new leader of the pilgrims. Before Tao'ven could discuss Orgus's whereabouts, a villager named Eseni rushed in and began to warn them that Flesh Raiders had attacked again. The enemy had left toxin mines in the village's crop fields, which had poisoned one of the scouts when they tried to approach.

Tao'ven begged the Padawan to help, believing that the Force could protect the Jedi long enough to stop the mines. The apprentice agreed and rushed to the fields, where the enemy had planted three toxin mines. Using the Force power known as breath control to stop most of the poisonous effects of the gas, the Padawan began to disable the mines. However, several Flesh Raiders had buried themselves in the ground and burst out to attack the Jedi in an attempt to stop the apprentice, but the Padawan defeated them and successfully saved the village's crops from further harm.

Aftermath
"I saw how you suffered out there. What you suffered out there. What you did was more than brave&mdash;it was heroic."

- Ranna Tao'ven

Returning to the Matriarch's building, the Padawan was thanked by Tao'ven for the help. After giving the Jedi a token of the village's thanks, she left to tell the village the good news.

The apprentice, meanwhile, contacted Master Din via holocomm and learned of his success against the Flesh Raiders. When the Padawan informed Din of Morr's goal of destroying the Jedi so he could ultimately rebuild them and destroy the Sith, he was relieved to hear that his former apprentice was not a Sith himself. During the attack on the Flesh Raiders' command base, Din had found the locations of many other camps&mdash;too many camps for the Jedi Council to only send Jedi Masters. As a result, Din requested that his Padawan take out the base located in the ruins of Kaleth, since the apprentice had already defeated some of the natives who had been based at that camp.
