Mission to Bakura (Disciples of Ragnos crisis)
The Mission to Bakura transpired at a long-abandoned electrical plant in 14 ABY, amid the Disciples of Ragnos emergency. This assignment represented one of the initial deployments for Jaden Korr, subsequent to commencing his instruction at the Jedi Academy.
Mission
Background
Bakura, formerly under the control of the Galactic Empire, forged an alliance with the Rebel Alliance in 4 ABY to defend against the invading Ssi-ruuk. Although Bakura did not formally join the Alliance at that point, its actions were frowned upon by elements within the Imperial command structure. Later, upon joining the New Republic, a faction within the Imperial Remnant resolved to penalize Bakura for what they perceived as betrayal.
A squad composed of stormtroopers and saboteurs, commanded by certain Imperial officers, was sent to the planet. Their objective was a Bakuran power facility situated high in the mountainous terrain. Constructed atop a dormant volcano, the destruction of this power station would trigger a volcanic eruption, endangering a densely populated city nearby. The saboteurs strategically positioned potent explosive devices with the intent of completely destroying the power station.
Following the capture of the station, Bakuran authorities dispatched an investigative team, which subsequently disappeared without providing any updates. Consequently, the officials sought assistance from the New Jedi Order. Jedi Master Kyle Katarn and his apprentice, Jaden Korr, were tasked with providing aid.
The mission
Korr's arrival occurred first aboard the Far Wanderer, but after waiting an extended period without his master's arrival, he chose to proceed independently. It was later discovered that Katarn never reached Bakura. Upon entering the facility, Korr encountered numerous deceased individuals, presumably the original Bakuran team that had vanished, along with indications of blaster fire and explosions resulting from the presumed assault. Gaining access to the internal security system, Korr discovered five explosive devices placed around the facility, set to detonate. Each of these devices needed to be deactivated separately.
This objective was achieved by progressively battling his way through the facility, eliminating all Imperial terrorists encountered along the way. Various sections of the facility had sustained damage, likely during the initial takeover, requiring careful navigation by Korr. Ultimately, after confronting autoturrets, E-Webs, and an astromech droid, he successfully concluded his assignment, gaining substantial experience in the practical application of his Force training.
Aftermath
Even though the Imperial terrorists failed to accomplish their objective, Bakura later withdrew its membership from the New Republic. Nevertheless, the Jedi's successful intervention in preventing a catastrophe likely cultivated positive relations between the Bakurans and the New Jedi Order. It is plausible that this contributed to the Bakurans' readiness to support Luke Skywalker during the Corellian Insurrection in 18 ABY.
