Revan's respite and sojourn to Republic space would be brief. With his freedom, Oteg believed that the Republic had obtained the means by which to finally defeat the Empire. Ultimately Oteg's fleet prevailed, successfully retrieving Revan before withdrawing from the area.
A fierce battle-one of the first of the soon-to-be new war-ensued, with both sides taking heavy casualties. įollowing an intelligence-gathering assault on the Imperial fortress at Taral V, Oteg led his fleet into The Maelstrom to attack the Imperial prison facility inside. With the conflict between Republic and Empire again heating up, Surik knew that the time had come for Revan to be freed from captivity.
Revan, meanwhile, had been captured by the Emperor and detained in a form of stasis for the intervening centuries. Having vanished from Republic space three centuries earlier, Surik had died in a failed attempt to slay the Sith Emperor with her old friend and leader, the legendary Jedi Master Revan.

Even as they were being driven from Balmorra, the Empire was able to claim victory on Taris. With their deaths, the project collapsed and the Republic's work to restore the planet came to an end. The Republic's efforts would ultimately prove fruitless, as Darth Gravus spearheaded an effort to sabotage the project by eliminating key supporting personnel. For a number of years during the Cold War, the Republic had made an effort to turn the ruined world Taris into a symbol of hope, by rebuilding the planet following its devastation at the hands of the Sith three centuries earlier, during the Jedi Civil War. Meanwhile, in the Outer Rim, the Empire scored a victory of its own. After over a decade of guerrilla warfare, Republic interests finally prevailed when a Jedi Consular rallied the resistance and drove the Empire from the planet. Elements within the Republic Army refused to cede defeat, choosing instead to defy the Treaty of Coruscant by remaining on Balmorra and forming a resistance movement in partnership with the planet's natives. Ultimately, however, the celebration proved to be premature. With the end of the last war, the Empire declared victory in their long struggle for control of the industry world Balmorra. The outbreak of a new war between the Empire and Republic was preceded by a number of proxy clashes, among them the conclusion of several conflicts which had been left unresolved at the close of the previous war between the two great powers.
