The Republic Tarisian Archival Database, or Rep-TAD, was a project backed by the Galactic Republic during the era of the Cold War. This operation, generously financed and located on Taris, aimed to locate the archives of the planet. The planetary government had established these archives to safeguard their cultural heritage and information should a catastrophe befall Taris.
Archivist Wintag participated in the Rep-TAD initiative for a significant number of years during the Cold War period. Eventually, the team successfully identified the archive's position within the ruins of the old city. Unfortunately, the area teemed with Rakghouls, making access impossible. As a result, Wintag proposed offering a monetary incentive to any Republic affiliated space traveler capable of retrieving the archive.
