Skirmish at Peragus II

The Battle of Peragus II was a conflict during the Old Sith Wars that marked the destruction of a major mining colony in the Peragus II asteroid field.

Capture of Harbinger
The conflict began on the Republic vessel Harbinger. An HK-50 unit undercover working for Exchange on board took notice that the Jedi Exile was on board. The droid assassin then arranged for the Jedi to be injected with chemicals, causing her to fall unconsious, in what appeared to be a medical appointment.

The droid then arranged for a series of "accidents" to murder the crew of the Harbinger. His plans were foiled when Kreia, piloting the Ebon Hawk, got on board and rescued the Exile. At the same time, a Sith vessel led by Darth Sion ambushed the cruiser and boarded it. Though Kreia and the Exile escaped on the Ebon Hawk, the entire crew was murdered by cloaked Sith troopers.

Unbeknownst to the two Jedi, HK-50 slipped himself quietly into the Ebon Hawk.

T3-M4 repaired the damaged Hawk while the two Jedi laid unconscious and guided it to the Peragus Mining Facility.

Mining Facility Massacre
Onboard the Mining Facility, HK-50 once again drugged the Exile into unconsciousness. There was much discussion among the miners about what to do with the Jedi on board, due to the bounty posted on the Jedi by the Exchange. Before the decision was made, HK-50 arranged for toxic gases to fill the complex, killing all the miners.

The rogue Exchange droid programmed the facility droids to serve him.

The skirmishes begin
"I am your savior, as you are mine."

- Kreia

The Jedi Exile snapped into consiousness after hearing a voice through the force. Slipping out of her kolto tank, she gained access to the facility morgue and took a plasma torch from a dead miner's body.

Kreia, posing dead on a medical table, greeted the Exile and began to reconnect her with the force with her powers.

The Exile bashed the access door to the rest of the asteroid open with the plasma torch and furtherly equipped herself with vibroblades and mining lasers. She fought her way through reprogrammed mining droids into the main chamber.

The Exile freed Atton Rand, a miner, from captivity in a ray shield cell. The two of them used the com system to contact T3-M4, who repaired central computer systems and opened the sealed doorway leading to the outer bridges, which led to the miner dorms.

The Exile found a space suit and used it to navigate across the outer bridges of the complex. While making her way across the bridges, Darth Sion and the Harbinger docked with the asteroid. The Exile, Kreia, and Atton boarded the Harbinger afterward.

Skirmishes aboard the Harbinger
On board the Harbinger, Sith asassins ambushed the Jedi and Rand using stealth generators. The three managed to get to the cockpit and download navigational charts to escape from Peragus. While navigating through the rest of the ship, Darth Sion confronted Kreia while the Exile and Atton escaped.

The duel
Kreia stood no chance against Sion; he utilized his lightsaber while she used a vibro-blade. After a discussion between the two, Sion severed Kreia's hand. Utterly defenseless, Sion spared her.

It was then she established a Force connection with the Exile, and she felt Kreia's pain of losing her hand.

The escape
Before entering the hangar bay complex, HK-50, whom the Exile met while making her way through the facility and previously thought was no threat, confronted the three in the command room and fired at them. He was critically damaged, and in a last attempt, self-destructed.

At the Ebon Hawk, the Exile was reunited with Kreia. While powering the main engines, Sith asassins attempted to board, but were repelled with the Hawk's main guns.

As the Hawk prepared to make a jump to hyperspace, Sion and the Harbinger pursued them through the asteroids. He shot at one of the asteroids, setting off a chain-reaction explosion, completely destroying the asteroid field and Peragus II.

The Ebon Hawk set course for Telos.
