Operation supernova

In 3,950 BBY a skirmish took place in a cave outside of Kaas City on the planet Dromund Kaas. After discovering that the Jedi Master Revan was taken captive by a Sith Meetra Surik traveled to Dromund Kaas to rescue him. After meeting with another Sith called Sechel, she learned the Sith was a Sith Lord and paid him four thousand credits to set up a meeting with the Sith. Sechel told Scourge that a woman was looking for him, and Scourge had him set up the meeting and told him to have Murtog and his crew meet him there. Sechel told Surik of the Sith's identity and to meet him at a cave outside of Kaas City where she was ambushed by four soldiers, including Dark Councilor Darth Nyriss' security chief Murtog, and was forced to kill the soldiers. After the skirmish Lord Scourge agreed to help Surik rescue Revan.

Prelude
"We'll give them every chance to surrender. But be ready for this to get ugly. Hopefully it won't come to that. Maybe Lord Scourge is curious enough about why I'm here to hear me out before he tries anything."

- Meetra Surik to T3-M4

In 3,950 BBY after discovering that the Jedi Master Revan was taken captive by a Sith Jedi Knight Meetra Surik and T3-M4, Revan's companion, traveled to Dromund Kaas to rescue him. After arriving at Kaas City's spaceport she met with a local merchant called Larvit to exchange some diamonds for some info and some of the local currency. Larvit directed her to Sechel and after meeting with him she learned the Sith was a Sith Lord and paid Sechel four thousand credits to set up a meeting with the Sith Lord. Sechel told Scourge that Surik was had an holoimage of him and was looking for him. Scourge then told him to set up a meeting and to have Murtog, Dark Councilor Darth Nyriss' security chief, and his crew meet him there. Sechel later told Surik of the Sith's identity and instructed her to meet him at a cave outside of Kaas City. She received several premonitions of a trap before she arrived at the cave.

The skirmish
"Is anyone here? Hello? Is anyone here?''" "Don't move! We have you surrounded." "Lord Scourge? Is that you? I only want to talk." "Lie flat on the ground and put your hands behind your head. If not, we open fire." "''Now, Tee-Three!"

- Meetra Surik and Murtog

After arriving she entered the cave and was ordered to lied down and surrender. She had T3 turn on his headlight to full power, blinding the four soldiers who were wearing night goggles. They opened fire on Surik forcing her to evade, Surik then leapt and used her lightsaber to stab and kill a nearby male soldier. She then used the Force to hurl a female soldier into the far wall killing her on impact. The other two soldiers ripped the goggles from their heads and opened fire on Surik. While the other male soldier was distracted T3 used his flamethrower to set him ablaze. His shrieks distracted the surviving female soldier long enough for Surik to charge and use her lightsaber to cleave through the soldiers armor and body.

Aftermath
"You're a Jedi. What he said was true. He saw you. He knew.''" "What are you talking about?" "Your here because of Revan. Your here to rescue him." "I'm impressed you figured it out so quickly." "''I didn't figure it out. Revan told me."

- Scourge and Meetra Surik

After the skirmish Lord Scourge realized that Surik had come to rescue Revan and revealed to her that he had been taken captive. Surik demanded that he released Revan and when he said he couldn't she then demanded to know his location so she could free him. He agreed to take Surik to Revan and to help rescue him, but Surik didn't believe him at first. He then told her of the Sith Emperor and of what he had done and planned to do. Surik then said that she needed more to go on than his word and he agreed to provide proof.

Scourge then ambushed Sechel in his secret apartment. Scourge then took the files that proved that Nyriss and the other Dark Councilors were conspiring against the Emperor and killed Sechel. Scourge then returned to the cave and gave the files to Surik and left again giving Surik three hours to look them over. T3 cracked the encryption and verified the data in half the time. Surik then agreed to accept the Sith's help.

Scourge then secretly enlisted the Emperor's help in rescuing Revan by giving him the files about the conspiracy being carried out by the Dark Council. After being verified the Emperor purged the Dark Council at the same time Scourge and Surik rescued Revan.

Behind the scenes
The skirmish first appeared in Drew Karpyshyn's novel Star Wars: The Old Republic: Revan which was released on November 15, 2011. Note the article doesn't reflect how Murtog died, since the novel doesn't specify if Murtog was the one Surik used Shiak on, nor if he was set on fire by T3-M4.
