- "We are en route to intercept a Republic cruiser carrying supplies and reinforcements to the Foundry."
- ―Moff Phennir
Around 3642 BBY, in the first days of the Galactic War between the reconstituted Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic, the Republic forces had freed the notorious Jedi Master Revan. Revan went to the Foundry, an ancient Rakatan space station, to create a droid army to annihilate the Empire.
Preparing for an upcoming assault on the Foundry, the Harrower-class Dreadnaught White Nova ambushed the Dorin's Sky, a Thranta-class corvette that was carrying supplies and troops to the space station. Once captured by the White Nova's tractor beam, an Imperial strike team entered the warship and captured it after eliminating the Republic forces in command of it. The ship would be later used to bypass the Republic blockade and board the Foundry prior to the arrival of the White Nova and the rest of the Imperial task force.
The attack[]
- "We will immobilize the cruiser with a tractor beam. You shall lead the boarding party."
- ―Moff Phennir, to an Imperial operative
An Imperial strike team, supported by Imperial troopers, entered the Dorin's Sky via an airlock. They fought through Republic troopers, battle droids, and Jedi as they moved through the decks of the vessel toward the bridge. In the process they defeated the HXI-54 Juggernaut, Major Alvena and her supporting combat droids, Jedi Master Sakan Do'nair and a pair of Jedi healers, and Lieutenant Menerus.
During the battle, Captain Yelto, commanding the ship, realized that her troops would not be victorious and triggered the self-destruct. Forced to hurry, the strike team engaged Chief Engineer Kels in the reactor control room, defeating him and his power droids, before reaching the bridge. The bridge was defended by Commander Jorland and a squadron of supporting troops. Despite utilizing a personal energy shield, Jorland was killed and the strike team took control of the ship.
Aftermath[]
- "Once you have the cruiser and begin your attack on the Foundry, we will engage the Republic directly."
- ―Moff Phennir
With the Dorin's Sky under their control, the strike team ordered Imperial troopers to execute all remaining crew.
The Empire then provided a new crew for the ship and continued onward to the Foundry.

STAR WARS: The Old Republic - Question ! :) - Page 3 on The Old Republic's official website (backup link) places Star Wars: The Old Republic's base game content about ten to twelve years after the signing of the Treaty of Coruscant, which is dated to 3653 BBY by Star Wars: The Old Republic Encyclopedia. The Prologue and Act I of the class storylines are assumed to take place in 3643 BBY, as they are roughly concurrent to each other and the Jedi Knight Act I storyline is dated to 3643 BBY by The Old Republic—The Lost Suns 2. Additionally, Forums: Dear Story Team, What Year Are We Currently In? on The Old Republic's official website (backup link) and Star Wars: The Old Republic Encyclopedia establish that the Battle of Ilum and the end of Act III for the class stories occur in 3640 BBY. Additionally, Act II for all classes, while featuring conflict between the two factions, occurs prior to the official collapse of the Treaty of Coruscant, which The Old Republic: Annihilation places in the middle of 3641 BBY. Taken together, this means that base game content spans from 3643 BBY to 3640 BBY, and the class storylines extend over this period, this article assumes that Act II takes place within 3642 BBY and the first half of 3641 BBY.
