In 3954 BBY, following orders from Dark Councilor Darth Nyriss, Sith Lord Scourge, along with Nyriss' advisor Sechel and her security chief Murtog, embarked on a mission to the Bosthirda separatist compound in order to eliminate a group of separatists. After a vicious battle, the group discovered that the separatists were working with Nyriss' rival Darth Xedrix. Later, Nyriss ordered Scourge to eliminate the traitor.
Prelude[]
- "The human filth will die, my lord. I will not fail."
- ―Scourge promises to destroy the separatists
Bosthirda and Dromund Kaas, capital of the Sith Empire
In 3954 BBY, following several assassination attempts on Dark Councilor Darth Nyriss' life, it was discovered that one of the assassins, a reprogrammed serving droid, was created at a plant on Hallion. She sent Sith Lord Scourge and her advisor Sechel on a mission to the planet to discover who purchased the droid. There, the pair discovered that the droid had been purchased by the Bosthirda separatists. After informing Nyriss of this development, she sent Scourge, Sechel, her security chief Murtog, and several soldiers to raid a building in Jerunga, the capital city of Bosthirda, which the separatists were using as a base.[1]
The raid[]
- "Target is blind. Move in."
- ―Scourge orders Murtog and his soldiers to begin the raid
After arriving on Bosthirda, the group studied the building, looking for any defenses unknown to them. After finding none, Scourge climbed the building and used the Force to destroy the roof-mounted cams. Shortly after, he ordered Murtog and his team to move in. They complied, using flash and stun grenades along with suppressive fire to attack the separatists. As the separatists returned fire on Murtog's team, Scourge was attacked by a pair of snipers.[1]
Scourge used his lightsaber to slaughter the first one, and then proceeded to pick up the second one by his collar, throwing him off the roof. He then entered the building and proceeded to kill twenty separatists that were caught off-guard by the attack. Scourge then cut off the limbs of a few separatists while decapitating others, and then used the Force and his lightsaber to kill the rest. After a few minutes, the raid was over, as all the separatists were dead. Only three or four of Murtog's team died in the battle.[1]
Aftermath[]
Scourge
- Scourge: "What did you find?"
- Sechel: "A recording of a recent communication."
- Scourge: "Darth Xedrix."
- Sechel: "Most of the call had already been erased by the cleaner program. But I was able to save this."
- Darth Xedrix: "...latest attempt failed...Nyriss is dangerous, and must not be...keep allegiances hidden...stop the Emperor...madness must end..."
- Scourge: "Can you get anything more?"
- Sechel: "Not here. Give me enough time and the proper equipment and I should be able to come up with plenty."
- Scourge: "Tell you team to load up every terminal and datafile they find. Nyriss won't be pleased if we leave something important behind."
- ―Scourge, Sechel, and Darth Xedrix[1]
After the raid, Sechel was able to slice into the separatist mainframe and discover that Darth Xedrix was working with the separatists. The group later returned to Nyriss with the evidence and Nyriss sent Lord Scourge to eliminate the traitor. After a short and brutal duel, Scourge emerged victorious.[1]
