In the year 3642 BBY, as the Cold War neared its conclusion between the Galactic Republic and the newly reconstituted Sith Empire, the Hero of Tython, accompanied by an ally, engaged in combat with a team of Harrower assassins. These assassins had been dispatched to eliminate Jedi Knight Jomar Chul, whose vessel had crashed on the planet Tatooine. Chul, who was performing reconnaissance in the Dromund system, was downed over Tatooine and subsequently hunted by the Harrowers, Sithspawn minions serving the Sith Emperor.
