Skirmish at the Season Opener

The skirmish at the Tarisian Season Opener took place during the plan to rescue Bastila Shan. Just before the opener, Bastila Shan's escape pod had crashed landed on Taris and she was abducted by the Black Vulkars, who planned to give her away as a prize to the winner of the swoop races.

Prelude
Having had their Republic cruiser Endar Spire struck down by Darth Malak's fleet, Revan and Carth Onasi use the last remaining escape pod to touch down on Taris to avoid the ship's inevitable destruction. Hearing that Bastila Shan's pod also landed on the planet, they started a search to find her, making several other companions along the way that prove useful to their mission.

In the Undercity, Revan meets up with Mission Vao, who asks him to help find her friend Zaalbar. Revan makes his way through the Undercity sewers and frees Zaalbar from the Gamorrean captors, resulting in Zaalbar's life debt to Revan. After reuniting him with Mission, she helps Revan gain access into the Vulkar base. Revan then

The season opener
With the accelerator back in the Hidden Bek's hands, Revan is appointed the job of racing on their behalf. Revan was given a day of rest before being registered for the races. After a struggle for best time between Revan and veterans of the sport, Revan would eventually come out on top and be titled champion of the opener. However, Brejik was unpleased by Revan's victory and his new "possession" of Bastila, and calls him out on account of cheating via the accelerator. Bastila, in an unconscious state as a result of a neural suppressing restraint and locked in a cage, frees herself with help from the Force. Now aware of Bastila's affiliation with the Jedi Order, Brejik leads the Vulkars into a fight with Revan and Bastila.

A decisive victory
Brejik and his nearby gang members attack Revan and the now freed Bastila. During the quick scuffle, the two kill all the Black Vulkars in the area and make their way back to the apartment, where Carth Onasi and Bastila make plans of somehow escaping Taris.

Aftermath
"Wipe this pathetic planet from the face of the galaxy!"

- Darth Malak

With Bastila now freed and the Black Vulkars no longer a threat, the group attempts an escape from Taris. With the Sith blockade still in affect, the mission would be virtually impossible, though Canderous Ordo suggests a way to get off the planet: sneak into Davik Kang's estate and steal the Ebon Hawk, using codes from the Sith base to subtly break through the blockade. After using codes from one of Davik's prisoners to get into the Hawk ' s hanger, Revan is confronted by Davik and Calo Nord. As a fight breaks out over the Ebon Hawk, Darth Malak begins his bombardment on Taris, which weakens Davik's estate's structure and seems to kill Nord when a group of beams fall ontop of him. Revan then takes the Ebon Hawk and escapes to Dantooine.

Calo Nord also escapes the planet's destruction and joins Malak's army. On a mission to intercept the group on Tatooine and take Bastila alive, Nord neglects to follow orders and instead provokes a fight to the death, only to be killed by Revan for good.
