Taris: Legacy of Sith Destruction

Once home to a thriving civilization, Taris was razed by the Sith Lord Darth Malak 300 years ago during the Jedi Civil War. As a symbol of hope, redemption, and defiance, the Republic has begun an unlikely effort to re-colonize Taris. To do so, they will have to deal with the toxic soil, dangerous pirates, and ferocious rakghouls – the only survivors of the Sith bombardment. Determined to overcome the challenges, Republic and Jedi leaders are moving forward with the effort. However, Imperial intelligence has other plans…

Access the HoloNet to read about the history of Taris and the re-colonization of this ruined world swarming with rakghouls. Also, see the scarred surface of Taris in this video and visit the media section for exclusive screenshots, concept art, and wallpapers!

I'm excited to explore this once great planet in the aftermath of it's destruction...I remember back in KOTOR when the planet was annihilated, upsetting me, because I had spent so much time on that planet. It will be interesting to say the least to explore the ruins of the once great city.

Looks like a good place for the Sith to hide and gather their army

Rakghouls, a worthy adversary.

I'm excited they're reviving Taris in this game, but I'm not too happy about the rakghouls... I always hated them in kotor 1.

I loved that part of the story; the surface dwellers & the outcasts living below. Very deep dialog; really made you think.

Yes. I always wondered, when had the Republic rebuild it, as it appears in the EU.
