During the twilight years of the Cold War, the individual known as the Hero of Tython embarked upon a crucial undertaking alongside Jedi Masters Tol Braga, Warren Sedoru, and Leeha Narezz. Their collective goal was to penetrate the defenses of the Emperor's Fortress to either vanquish, apprehend, or redeem the powerful Sith Emperor. Regrettably for the Jedi strike team, this endeavor concluded in utter failure. The Sith Emperor effortlessly subdued them, breaking their spirits and converting them to the Sith cause.
Before their confrontation with the Sith Emperor, the Jedi discovered the location of the Sith Emperor's heavily shielded space station, hidden by an advanced Cloaking device. Entering the station separately, they fought their way towards the Emperor's throne room, eliminating any opposition they encountered.
The Hero of Tython was the first to reach the throne room, where they were confronted by Lord Scourge, the Emperor's Wrath. A duel ensued between Scourge and the Hero, with the Hero ultimately emerging victorious but choosing to spare the Sith Lord's life. As Scourge approached the Emperor's side, Masters Tol Braga, Leeha Narezz, and Warren Sedoru finally arrived in the throne room.
At that moment, the Sith Emperor mocked the Jedi, dismissing them as weak and insignificant, and asserting his lack of fear. With shocking ease, the Sith Emperor defeated the Jedi Strike Team with a mere gesture, unleashing a devastating surge of Force lightning. Subsequently, the Emperor corrupted the fallen Jedi, transforming them into servants of the Sith.
The Hero of Tython then witnessed the spectral apparition of their deceased master, Orgus Din, in the form of a Force ghost. Din healed the Hero of Tython, and the invigorated Jedi used a mind trick on Overseer Chaskar and freed Kira Carsen. The Hero then made their way back to their ship, a Defender-class light corvette, located in the docking bay. It was there that Scourge pledged his allegiance to the Jedi Knight, revealing that he had foreseen the Hero in a 300-year old premonition.
