In the year 3963 BBY, during the battle against the invading Mandalorians on the planet of Taris, a raid was executed by the Taris Resistance targeting the Jedi Tower. The Resistance fighters placed explosive devices within the base of the Jedi academy that was occupied by the Mandalorians; however, they couldn't trigger these charges at that time because they couldn't coordinate a safe, controlled detonation of all explosives from afar. The Resistance ultimately succeeded in detonating the charges during a second mission a week afterward, as part of their efforts to kill Cassus Fett, the commander of the Mandalorian troops.
John Jackson Miller wrote about the raid in the Marvel comic-book series Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, specifically in the twenty-third issue, which was released on November 28, 2007.
