Onderon

These three manage to overpower the Sith camp on Dxun after Beodor fiddles around with some sensors and mines to deactivate them.

They also discover the tomb of Freedon Nadd, the ancient Sith king of Onderon.

Atton and company are not alone in the tomb, however.

We now have others aware that there are intruders in the tomb, and the gang have to fight their way through Sith guards and war droids to the inner sanctum of the tomb, where they find several Sith masters carrying out a dark side ritual to strengthen their forces and influence Dxun and Onderon.

Atenrand and his team manage to defeat the Sith at the tomb.

Meanwhile, Meetra and the others take a basilisk war droid to Onderon's capital city of Aziz.

Vaklu and Tobin are using wild Drexel beasts to attack the city, wreaking havoc and driving back Talia's forces, even breaching the royal palace.

We have Meetra, Kreia, and company attacking Vaklu's men, forcing them into the retreat, and Mitra is able to get into the palace security control room where a slicer working for Vaklu was operating security systems.

He went after Kreia with one of the super commandos.

And I had chosen the hero of Onderon over the regular Jedi exile this time.

So I got a free lightsaber defense and my Porg and...

So I had a big bank of force on the exile to start with.

Jacob, we have a lot to talk about here.

We are on Onderon at the beginning, and then we get to one of the juiciest planets in this game, Nar Shaddaa.

Jacob, uh, do you have anything to say before you go ahead with the summary of what we saw in this chunk of Knights of the Old Republic II?

Uh, no. Let's, uh, let's jump into it.

Sorry.

Anyway, keep going.

Anyways, so picking back up on Onderon, Mitra heads back to the cantina to investigate Captain Selio's murder.

She heads out with some new information, looking for the severed head of a server droid who was found at the scene of the murder.

...

Onderon later on.

Okay.

So that does show up, but just not here.

... freaking squid face guy.

Um, first I went to, 'cause there's four planets you can go to, I went to Dxun first.

So you go to Onderon.

No, Oderon.

Vrook teaches Meetra some Form IV or Ataru lightsaber combat, then encourages her to gather more Jedi on Dantooine.

The Ebon hawk departs, arriving in orbit above Onderon, but their timing is just awful, and they enter amidst a heated space battle.

In order to escape, the Ebon hawk lands on the moon of Dxun, where the Mandalorian crusade began.

Kreia reveals to Atton Rand at this moment that Meetra fought at the Battle of Dxun, and Meetra, while exploring the moon, is apprehended by some Mandalorians and brought to their camp.

Meetra meets Mandalore, the ruler of the Mandalorians, and defeats a Mandalorian in a battle to prove herself, thus winning herself safe passage with the Mandalorians to Iziz, the capital of Onderon.

At this point, Meetra and the Mandalorian make their way to the capital city of Onderon, where we are introduced to the delicate political situation there, where Queen Talia and her cousin, General Vaklu, are in a tug of war over the planet, with Vaklu orchestrating the battle to blame the Republic, thus having a pretext to seize power from his cousin, the Queen.

We also find out that Darth Nihilus and-

Hey, Visas Mar here.

We're on the...

I mean, I'll let Caleb do the full rundown, but we're on the planet of Onderon.

The Avengers are really assembling at this point, and it's all going down.

The dark side is loose on Onderon, and the Jedi are here to stop it.

This one is written by Tom Veach, with art from Tony Akins and Dennis Reuter, and colors from Suzanne Bourdais.

Caleb, what happens here?

Well, as Jacob said, we're back on Onderon, the walled city of Isis, is hosting a parade where the body of Freedonan, the long-dead Sith Lord, is being taken to be entombed on a nearby moon, far away from any living person.

But the parade is interrupted by the followers of the dark side, and they leave with the body after a bloody attack.

Oh, well, OK, so it is Saw because he is my favorite character and I did get to write him.

But maybe if they let me go back and write Saw as a young man, Saw when he was still on Onderon and his sister was still alive and I got to write something about that.

I would, I would do that.

Absolutely.

And so something like that I might do.

Yeah.

There's so many, for as much as he's been used, there are still so many great gaps for him, whether that's the resistance on Onderon during the Clone Wars, before the Jedi get involved, or really the aftermath of...

Like, you know, Ahsoka is there and just has to leave immediately, and Saw's just kind of left to deal with his grief, and then very quickly it switches over to Empire.
