Description

Once a thriving ecumenopolis, three centuries ago Darth Malak reduced the world to a post-apocalyptic swamp. This orbital bombardment during the Jedi Civil War was one of the Sith Lord's attempts to ensure the death of Jedi Padawan Bastila Shan. Although Malak failed to kill his target, the planet was decimated. Most of the cityscape was destroyed; the structures that weren't obliterated gradually collapsed into the planet's Undercity. Since that time, Taris has been reclaimed by nature, creating a strange amalgam of ruined skyscrapers and wildlife.

Now the Republic seeks to re-colonize the ruins. The leadership hopes that success in this undertaking would be a significant spiritual victory against the Empire, instilling a measure of hope in those who have suffered throughout the Sith invasion. However, the ruins scattered across Taris are populated by rakghoul hordes and other horrors. If Republic colonists are to succeed in this pivotal effort, they must overcome local threats, as well as any forces sent by the Empire to undermine their efforts.^[1]
