Talloran village

Talloran Village

History[]

Talloran village was a small settlement on the island ofAvilatan on theplanet ofOrd Mantell. Originally built as a home for the families of laborers who worked in the warehouses andstarship ports on the island, it was one of the few settlements not founded by criminals on Avilatan. It's occupants were generally thought to be hard working but poor and so were often exploited by the corrupt business men who made up the Mantellian government.

When, during theCold War between theGalactic Republic andSith Empire,civil war broke on Ord Mantell many of the long exploited workers of Talloran supported theMantellian Separatist Movement which rose up to oppose the government. The Separatists eventually in around3643 BBY captured the village during a night attack in which they used combatdroids. However this proved disastrous for the inhabitants who didn't flee the village as theRepublic Army and theMatnellian Armybesieged the settlement and trapped the civilians inside along with the separatist soldiers.^[1]

Those who were trapped in the village included the thiefReki who had fled to his safe house there to escape the previously capturedMannett Point. He remained inside his safe house above the Talloran central warehouse along with a pair of widows whose husbands had been killed in the initial Separatist attack. Whilst here though he was visited by asmuggler known asAce who had been sent by Reki's old friend Viidu, the head ofRendia Freight. Ace brought supplies for Reki, who was in desperate need of them, and in return wanted information on where to find a separatist namedSkavak who had stolen Rogun's blasters from Viidu and the smuggler's ship. Reki told the capitan where to find a Separatist personal database on Mannett point and how to get their using Reki's old house.^[4]

Also trapped in the village was a Republic spy namedBellis and his wifeLin. Bellis was watching the Separatists in the village for theRepublic and had information on them which amember ofHavoc Squad was sent to learn from him at a rendezvous. Bellis however was killed by Separatist forces before theTrooper could reach him, and the soldier instead traveled to his house to retrieve the agent's field box, which would also contain the needed information. In the house he met Bellis's widow who he informed of her husband's death. Lin was at first angry and blamed the Republic for his death as well as hugely upset, however she was persuaded to hand over the box so that her husbands death wasn't in vain.^[3]

Some of those who fled the village ended up in a refugee camp just outside of Fort Garnik, including an Imperial spy namedAlma who in the rush to leave her home had left behind a necklace she used to communicate withImperial Intelligence. A Republic Agent namedEbenga took the opportunity to move into her house and try and find the necklace to prove her guilt but found that scavengers had already stolen it.

Ace and the trooper were approached by Alma as they moved through the refugee camp on their way to Talloran for their separate missions. She asked the pair to recover her necklace which she claimed was her great grandmothers. Once the pair reached her home they were confronted by Ebenga who informed them of Alma's true nature and asked them to bring him the necklace which he would use as evidence of Alma's loyalty to the Empire. The pair successfully recovered it and brought it back to Ebenga who thanked them and later arrested Alma.^[2]

Another occupant of the refugee camp, aCathar namedYael, stole medical supplies from forces in Fort Garnik. She used them to treat her fellow refugees but was then robbed by the Separatists from Talloran.

Ace and the trooper were asked bySergeantHurd of the Republic Army in Garnik to recover the supplies and were lead to Yael by a description of the thief given by a guard who saw her. However, when they confronted the thief she revealed that she'd lost the supplies but only agreed to tell the pair where they were if they brought them back to her. The heroes agreed and then successfully retrieved the supplies for the Cathar after killing a number of Separatists.^[7]

The Separatists in Talloran also converted several of the buildings there into safe houses, building data links on them which connected to a data link hub. These were used to transfer stolen Republic data from Garnik although Republic intelligence was aware of the operation.

Ace and the trooper received orders from theOrd Mantell military database via aHolovid information hub in Garnik to disable the data-links and the hub which they successfully did whilst in the village.^[5]
