- ―An Imperial protocol droid
During the Cold War, agents Sith Empire launched an attack on the Galactic Republic's damaged Thranta-class warship, the Brentaal Star, with the intention of intercepting and taking prisoner or killing one of the passengers on board the vessel, a Republic general known only as The General. The attack was ordered by Grand Moff Rycus Kilran, and was intended to be carried out by the crew of the Imperial transport Black Talon. The Talon's captain, Revinal Orzik, initially defied the Grand Moff's command, as he saw the attack as a suicide mission. In response to the captain's insubordination, Kilran dispatched Sith agents to the Black Talon to either convince Orzik to carry out the attack or to kill the man and take the vessel into combat anyway. After boarding the transport and fighting their way to the bridge, the Sith succeeded in getting the crew to participate in the attack.
Upon engaging the Brentaal Star, the Black Talon was beset by laser cannon fire and Republic boarding parties. The Sith agents joined the ship's garrisoned Sith troopers and worked to repel the boarders. After repelling them, the agents took a shuttle and boarded the Brentaal Star searching for their objective, The General. Eventually they reached him, executed him and then returned back to the Imperial ship to withdraw before the Republic's reinforcements could arrive.
Prelude
In 3,643 BBY, the Cold War, a proxy war between the Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic had stood for a decade. At one point a genius General had deserted the Sith Empire for the Republic and so Grand Moff Rycus Kilran assigned the ship Black Talon, to incercept the republic ship carrying the General and capture him. However the captain of the imperial starship, Revinal Orzik, saw it as a suicide mission and disobeyed his commands.
Kilran then decided to assign a team of Sith agents, composed by an Intelligence agent, Darth Baras' apprentice, Lord Zash's apprentice and a bounty hunter to restore control in the Black Talon and to proceed with his orders to capture The General.
The team complied and, after purging the ship of disobeying troops, encountered Captain Orzik in the bridge, executing him and giving the command of the ship to his second-in-command, Lieutenant Sylas, who immediately complied with Kilran's commands, sending the ship towards the corvette Brentaal Star to attack.
The Battle
When the Black Talon reached the Brentaal Star, the republic ship sent its pods full of war droids to sabotage the imperial ship while at the same time, attacking the Imperial by laser cannon fire. Kilran's team however helped the imperial crew to repell the droids and fetched a Shuttle to board the republic ship.
Onboard the Brentaal Star the team was attacked by dozens of republic troopers but managed to defeat their opponents.
Aftermath
After the battle, the treaty between the Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic, though weak, stood still for one more year. In 3,642 BBY, the direct war would eventually break out under the name of Second Great Galactic War, where the team of Sith agents would show themselves, each one of the four gaining its place in galactic history.
