[edit] Background
After receiving reports of illegal assassin droids flooding the Invisible Market, the New Republic contacted the New Jedi Order to capture Lannik Racto, believed to be behind the influx of illegal droids. Jaden Korr, a Jedi from Coruscant, was given the mission.
[edit] Mission
Having tracked down Racto's headquarters, Jaden flew his Z-95 Headhunter to a landing platform nearby. As Jaden approached a bridge leading to the office, Racto appeared, mocked Jaden, and set off an explosive charge, destroying the bridge.
This forced Jaden to find another way around, traversing ledges and skywalks to reach the building's entrance. A number of mercenaries and assassin droids were dispatched along the route to ambush Jaden, but they all failed to stop the Jedi, who finally reached Racto's warehouse.
Inside, he was confronted by Sith cultists, whom he defeated easily. Heading upstairs, he surprised Racto, who presumed he would have been defeated. Playing his one last card, Racto sealed himself in a blast-proof room and unleashed a squad of his assassin droids on Jaden. When all was quiet, Racto unsealed himself, presuming Jaden's death. Jaden ignited his lightsaber across Racto's throat, and Racto meekly surrendered.
[edit] Aftermath
With Lannik Racto in custody, having confessed the location of his factory on Nar Shaddaa, the New Republic was able to quickly shut it down (Jaden would later encounter some of the droids on Vjun). For the New Jedi Order, it meant one more supporter and financial backer of the Cult of Ragnos was neutralized. In Lannik's office were a number of artifacts, including a bust of Marka Ragnos which the Jedi Order took into custody.
