The Jedi Prisoner





Jedi Prisoner is focussed on recovering a Gree computer from a heavily fortified Sith installation.

It is the first Taral V flashpoint and certainly requires a group with a mean average of 33. The majority of the instance is relatively easy, but the final boss, General Edikar, will challenge an under-level or poorly equipped group.

The mission is start from Republic Fleet, and requires that you take the elevator to Inter-fleet Transport where a shuttle to the Telos is available. Having spoken to Oteg, you will need to use the map to navigate down the elevator and to the Taral V shuttle (at the time of writing the green markers do not show up).

The mission progresses down a jungle path and through 2 different Sith installations. The bonus missions require that all these buildings be eventually cleared, so whilst some parties may elect to clear areas from left to right, generally speaking there is no set order.

The most challenging aspect of this flashpoint apart from the bosses are the jungle creature spawns, where in addition to several normal and a silver difficulty enemy, additional gold elites may spawn in during a fight and require good tank control to pick them up. (gamepedia.com)

Alien Enclave


To the Voss, all outsiders–Imperial and Republic, diplomat and pilgrim–are ranked equally. As such, offworld visitors are all grouped together in the Alien Enclaves, specially-designated areas of Voss-Ka where outsiders can do business. This also allows the Voss to keep an eye on their visitors and control their movements within the city. 

With Voss commandos constantly on guard, tensions in the Alien Enclaves run high. Nearly everyone there has the same goal–gaining the favor of the Voss–but they are also conscious that the Voss can order them offworld if they cause an incident. Ambassadors from the Empire and the Republic are icily polite; independent traders and captains carefully compete to sell their wares; Jedi and Sith walk large circles around one another. In the chaos of war, the Alien Enclaves represent islands of peaceful cooperation, albeit socially awkward ones.

Tomb of Ajunta Pall


Before the Empire, before the Sith Order, Ajunta Pall was the very first Dark Lord. Once a Jedi Master, Ajunta Pall learned how to create and shape life itself through the Force–an art the Jedi feared and sought to end. 

In an act of defiance, he turned his newfound power against the Jedi Order and rebelled. In the end, the Jedi banished Ajunta Pall and his followers, exiling them to the Outer Rim–where the exiles found Korriban and a Force-wielding native species called the Sith. Ajunta Pall impressed the Sith with his power and technology, and the Sith soon revered the exiles as gods. From his seat of power on Korriban, Ajunta Pall was named Dark Lord of the Sith and founded the Sith Empire. 

Upon his death, Ajunta Pall’s body was entombed in the Valley of the Dark Lords. After millennia of sandstorms, cave-ins and warfare, the tomb still stands as a testament to his lasting influence. (Codex Text - Star Wars the Old Republic / SWTOR)

Advozse



The Coruscanti expression “cheerful as an Advozse” refers to the well-known pessimism of this horned sentient species. Advozsec come from the geologically unstable Mid Rim world of Riflor, which has suffered groundquakes and volcanic eruptions throughout its history. Advozsec, therefore, often witness their cities’ destruction by natural disasters, and have become accustomed to expecting the worst. 

Advozsec’s distinctive black eyes allow them to cope with the high quantities of volcanic ash in Riflor’s atmosphere, providing specialized tear ducts and excellent vision in low light. Riflor’s ash also nourishes a surprisingly wide variety of plant life, allowing the strictly vegetarian Advozsec to enjoy a varied diet. 

In the Republic, Advozsec are known as gifted starship engineers and reliable, if dour bureaucrats; to the Empire, their adaption to harsh environments–and cheap diet–make them appealing mercenaries and servants. (Codex Text - Star Wars the Old Republic / SWTOR)

Jedi Council


Those who walk the path of the Jedi are guided and overseen by the Jedi High Council. Sworn to protect and defend the Republic, the Council has existed in one form or another for millennia, comprised of the wisest Jedi Masters of every era. 

After the destruction of the Jedi Temple and the signing of the Treaty of Coruscant, the modern council removed itself from the politics of the galactic capital and settled on Tython, the ancestral home of the Jedi. Led by Master Satele Shan, the Council now struggles to uphold its peaceful ideals in the face of the Sith threat. This paradox is reflected in the personalities and beliefs of various members of the Council–some, such as the scholarly Master Syo Bakarn, hope the Sith can be redeemed and turned to the light side; others, such as the militaristic Master Jaric Kaedan, believe peace can only be achieved when all those who serve the dark side are destroyed. (Codex Text - Star Wars the Old Republic / SWTOR)
