- "They're smuggling something called "Cortosis" here from Bespin."
"Damn, that's not good."
"Why?"
"Well, Cortosis is a rare mineral that resists lightsabers."
"Great." - ―Kyle Katarn and Luke Skywalker[src]
The Mission to Cairn Installation was carried out by the New Jedi Order against the Empire Reborn.

- "That…(cough)...hauler…will take you to our base in the Lenico Belt. That’s where Galak`s ship, the Doomgiver, is docked; it’s also where he’s keeping your woman for further interrogations."
- ―Tavion Axmis being interrogated by Kyle Katarn[src]
After defeating Tavion Axmis on Bespin and interrogating her, Kyle Katarn learned that the Cairn Installation was the dock of Fyyar's ship, Doomgiver, and that Jan Ors could be found onboard. Boarding an automated ore hauler, Katarn was able to sneak into the facility.
[edit] Mission
Once inside, Katarn met up with Luke Skywalker, who was also looking for Desann. After fighting back to back against a squad of Reborn, Luke and Kyle split up to search for Desann, and Doomgiver.
Kyle's journey through the base was perilous, as he frequently encountered bottomless pits and numerous squads of Reborn and Stormtroopers. After disabling the drop ship factory, Katarn was forced to head into the deadly reactor shafts of the facility. Even those who worked in these reactors died there, as Kyle stumbled upon the corpse of an unwary Imperial worker.
Emerging unscathed from the reactor, Katarn was able to defeat two Shadowtroopers at the same time, while avoiding detection by security patrols in the Doomgiver's docking bay. Eventually he was able to board the Doomgiver, moments before it began the journey to Yavin 4. From the command bridge, Kyle watched as Desann and Luke fought a fierce duel. The fight ended when Luke appeared to be crushed beneath rubble, and Desann fled onto the Doomgiver as it launched.
