- "Hello again, Captain."
- ―Agent Soganti
Soganti was a Human male who served as an agent in the Republic Customs Office of the Galactic Republic. During the Cold War between the Republic and the reconstituted Sith Empire, he was assigned to the planet Taris, then in a middle of a restoration effort. He investigated the activities of the smuggler Beryl Thorne, but failed to find any solid evidence on her. Soganti approached another smuggler - the future Voidhound - with a goodwill offer to sell Thorne out. Instead, the smuggler informed Beryl that Soganti was after her, allowing her to flee. The smuggler later escaped Taris by slipping right past Soganti with the help of some forged documents.
Biography[]
During the Cold War, Agent Soganti was assigned to Taris by the Republic Customs Office to watch for attempts to smuggle contraband on and off of the planet. His suspicious nature led him to regularly search Beryl Thorne's warehouse, but he found no evidence of contraband.
In 3643 BBY,[2] Soganti greeted a starship captain - later known as the Voidhound - of a Corellian XS stock light freighter upon their arrival at Olaris Spaceport and passed a firm warning to avoid smuggling any contraband. Soganti later encountered the Voidhound as he was leading a pair of customs agents on another fruitless raid of Thorne's warehouse. Soganti then became suspicious of the Voidhound and ordered surveillance on the captain's movements.
Soganti later approached the Voidhound after they returned to their ship and disembarked, demanding the captain admit how Thorne was smuggling relics off Taris, even offering a generous bribe in exchange for testimony. However, the Voidhound refused to say a word against Thorne. Defeated, Soganti was forced to leave, but not before reminding the Voidhound that no criminal escapes justice forever.

STAR WARS: The Old Republic - Question ! :) - Page 3 on The Old Republic's official website (backup link) places Star Wars: The Old Republic about ten to twelve years after the signing of the Treaty of Coruscant, which is dated to 3653 BBY by Star Wars: The Old Republic Encyclopedia. The Old Republic—The Lost Suns 2 takes place ten years after the treaty, one week after the mission to Nar Shaddaa, and around the time of the SpecForce Incident. Since the mission and the incident are respectively part of Act I of the Jedi Knight and Republic Trooper's storylines, and the Trooper's Act I occurs concurrent to Act I of the Smuggler storyline, the general events of the Prologue and Act I for all classes can be assumed to occur in 3643 BBY. As the events on Taris for the Smuggler, including the multiple encounters with Soganti, it can be inferred that they took place in 3643 BBY.
