"After we destroyed the Gauntlet, General Rakton called a "diplomatic summit" with the heads of state of several Republic-allied planets along our borders. The summit was held aboard a neutral space station, where Rakton's troops seized the heads of state by force. They are now hostages of the Empire."

―General Garza^[3]

Operation Talon was a mission undertaken by the Republic Special Forces unit Havoc Squad to Outpost 256, a space station where Imperial General Arkos Rakton was holding several Republic-allied heads of state captive.

Behind the scenes[]

There are five heads of state, who could be saved by the player. Some of them stayed loyal to the Republic, others decided to defect. At the end of the quest the player can decide the fate of the leaders who swore their allegiance to the Sith Empire and General Rakton. They can be spared (swearing their unending commitment to the Republic in the process) or executed (in this case the witnesses would claim that they were murdered by the Imperials).

King Lorro (stayed loyal)
Archduke Kailur (defected)
President Walinor (stayed loyal)
Prime Minister Milarzen (stayed loyal)
Premier Vonn (defected)
