The Third Mission on Nar Shaddaa was a mission conducted by Kyle Katarn, who had just regained his Force powers. Waging a personal war against the Empire Reborn, who he held responsible for the supposed death of Jan Ors, he wanted to find Reelo Baruk, who could give him information about the Dark Jedi Desann. Based on appropriate information, he could begin his quest for Desann.

[edit] Never trust a bartender with bad grammar
The Jedi visited a bar, in which he was stripped of all weapons, save his lightsaber. He proceeded to move around the bar, trying to ask some questions of the patrons. However, he was met only with hostility, and eventually walked up to the bartender himself, a grammatically challenged Chiss. Just as it seemed Katarn's questioning was getting him somewhere, the bartender threw Kyle a line and sealed the bar, prompting the bar's patrons—who all appeared to be thugs in the employ of Baruk—to attack him. Katarn defeated them easily with his newly-restored Force powers, and left the bar. During his wanderings around the Vertical City, he managed to infiltrate Reelo Baruk's holdout by hiding in one of the city's many garbage collection repulsor sleds.
[edit] Liberating Lando
Inside the holdout, which outwardly appeared to be a simple garbage processing facility, Katarn was forced to navigate various hazards, including a smelter and a cavernous storage area. Eventually he met Lando Calrissian who was imprisoned by Baruk's thugs. Kyle had run into a security door which required a password to enter. Lando knew the password and told Katarn. Using the code, ruby bliels, he infiltrated Baruk's command center where he met the Rodian. Baruk was not inept, he set a trap for the Jedi, a set of ceiling mounted laser cannons, followed by a large group of thugs. Katarn escaped it but Baruk escaped through a tunnel at the back of his office.
Katarn rescued Lando thereafter, using a control on Reelo's desk, and Lando offered Kyle an escape from Nar Shaddaa in his personal vehicle, the Lady Luck. The vehicle was heavily guarded by Baruk's thugs, and was also in need of refueling. This was taken care of by Katarn, who also opened the doors above the ship to allow it to leave, while Lando checked the on-board systems.
[edit] On to Cloud City
Before they could eventually leave the Vertical City, Baruk and some of his elite thugs attacked them. Kyle took control of a laser cannon on the Lady Luck's ventral surface and killed Reelo Baruk and his thugs. Having escaped, Katarn agreed on accompanying Calrissian to Cloud City which had been occupied by forces of the Empire Reborn, hoping to discover more clues as to Desann's whereabouts.
