High above the planet of Cato Neimoidia hangs the city of Tarko-se. There, in the Tarko-se arena, several of the most powerful warriors put their skills to the test (often unwillingly) against the galaxy's most fearsome creatures. Today, the crowd cheers for Tarko-se's greatest champion.
As the champion slowly steps forward, a pair of wild combatants leaps into a full charge. With one swift, fluid motion, the champion steps aside, swings his lightsaber, and strikes down the menaces.
The warrior, General Rahm Kota, is not fazed by his opponents' size, speed, or strength. He's got the Force on his side.
Having struck down all of his opponents, Rahm Kota waves his finger at the spectator stands defiantly. He challenges the baron to throw him all he's got, so the baron unleashes the Corellian slice hounds.
As the baron contemplates his next move, a Neimoidian attendant delivers some troubling news. While the baron watched over his arena battle, a TIE Advanced fighter touched down in the plaza.
The baron hastily runs off to meet the TIE Advanced fighter's pilot but is surprised to find that it is not who he expected. Where the baron expected to see Darth Vader, he found instead a young but weathered boy resembling Starkiller, Vader's secret apprentice.
When the baron realizes he isn't going to face Lord Vader, he threatens Starkiller's clone to reveal the security codes to this sector. He knew that having captured Rahm Kota would draw Vader to him, but he'd never expected to see Starkiller...or his clone.
The devious despot eventually realizes he isn't going to get what he wants from the clone, so he orders his stormtrooper squad to open fire and retreats like the coward that he is. The baron makes a narrow escape just as his drawbridge retracts, leaving the Starkiller clone alone with the stormtroopers.
City of Bridges
Arena Bound
The baron's first line of offense are Imperial stormtroopers and a stormtrooper commander. Lift your lightsabers to blocking position and reflect their blaster fire as you approach them. As soon as you reach them, let your lightsabers loose and strike them down.
While you fight the first few stormtroopers, a small complement of Imperial riot troopers arrives on the nearby elevator. Turn on them and use the Force to either electrocute them or toss them over the side of the platform.
Step onto the elevator and ride it up to the next level. As you arrive at your destination, use a Force Push attack to send the two nearby stormtroopers flying.
Make a left and sprint up the incline as you chase down the baron. You reach the top of the next platform to find the baron speeding across a retracting bridge. Use Force Grip to yank the retracting bridge and extend it across the gap.
Force Dash across the newly extended bridge, and run your sabers through the stormtroopers on the other side.
Make a right after the bridge and sprint across the next incline. Another group of riot troopers waits for you at the top of the incline. Force Push them off the bridge. If they don't all fall off, use Lightsaber Specials to attack them all at once and take them down.
Follow the bridge left and fight past several more stormtroopers. As you do, the baron calmly saunters onto his tram and speeds away. Meanwhile, the city's defensive turrets come back online and nearly blow you to little clone bits!
With the baron gone, you'll need a different way to reach him. The door ahead of you opens up, revealing a path into the Tarko-se facility, and several riot troopers come storming out. Welcome them with several saber strikes and slice them up.
Speed into the next area, through the door where the riot troopers came out, and crush the remaining stormtroopers. There's an explosive tank on the right; use it to blow up the soldiers with one quick attack from afar.
At the top of the walkway, locate the locked panel along the far wall. Use Saber Throw to unlock the panel, and it will drop, turning it into a platform.
Jump onto the platform, then use Saber Throw to unlock the next wall panel on the left. Next, double-jump across to the nearby circular platform to the far left.
After you reach the circular platform, several jumptroopers immediately attack! Use Force Lightning to short out their jet packs and ground them. If any land on the platform with you, rush them and take them down with lightsaber combos.
Double-jump across the next few platforms, zapping jumptroopers as you go. Reach the final circular platform in this section, and turn right to find another retracted bridge in the opposite wall.
Use the Force to grip it and pull it out so it connects your platform to the far wall.
Cross the bridge and enter the city walls. Blow open the door on the left and pass through a small passageway into a room with more stormtroopers. Take them down easily with a few Force blasts.
Turn left and enter the next room. Attached to this small room are two bridges. The city's defense turrets blow up the one directly ahead of you! Turn left and dash across the next bridge while the turret destroys the bridge as you go.
Use Force Push to blow open the next door on the left and destroy the two stormtroopers in your way. Rush into the room and obliterate the squad of stormtroopers inside.
Walk up to the exit and locate the retractable bridge along the far wall. Force Grip it and pull it into place.
Run across the bridge and follow the small winding walkway down into a long room with three floating platforms in it.
Force Grip the far left platform and pull it toward you. Double-jump onto it, then onto the nearby middle platform. While on the middle platform, grip the far right platform and pull it toward you. Jump onto it and ride it across the room as it slowly floats back into its original spot.
Exit the room and jump down onto the platform below. An Imperial transport ship drops several stormtroopers onto it. Drop down on them with a savage downward blow of your lightsaber.
After landing, look up and locate the jumptroopers buzzing about. Zap them with Force Lightning, then turn back on the remaining Imperials and do away with them.
Follow the platforms around to another long bridge that is being guarded by the defense turrets. Take out the enemies on the bridge, then quickly dash across it while the turret attempts to obliterate you.
Use a Lightsaber Special to take out the next batch of stormtroopers before turning left and speeding across several more platforms. Reach a structure with three tall columns on it, each one taller than the next, and hop up the stepped columns, taking down stormtroopers as you go.
Hop across the columns onto another large circular support and wait for a transport ship to rise ahead of you. Force Grip the ship and bring it down!
With the transport out of the way, use the Force to pull the next bridge out and connect it with the platform you're standing on. Once again, dash across the bridge while the turret destroys it. Stay ahead of the turret blasts to keep from getting killed.
Make a left after crossing the bridge and blow through the sealed door with Force Push. Follow the passages to a small room with several stormtroopers and cut them down. Take out the turrets along the far wall while you fight the stormtroopers to keep from getting shredded by blaster fire.
When you take out the first batch of enemies, a small group of riot troopers arrives on the nearby elevator. Defeat them quickly, then hop on the elevator and take it up to the next level.
Exit the elevator and use Force Lightning to fry the bothersome Ughnaughts in the room. Rush the turrets and destroy them, then make a right into the next room. Crush the Imperials inside and exit the room to find a large gun turret.
Follow the onscreen prompts and destroy the turret. When you do, the explosion sends you falling down to the next section of the city.
Tarko-Se Casino
Before you can proceed into the Tarko-se casino, a large carbonite wardroid comes ambling out of the door ahead of you.
Quickly rip off its shield by Force Gripping it and flinging it away, then strafe around the massive menace while you zap it with Force Lightning. Bring it down and approach the door ahead of you.
Do as Master Kota says and activate your newly acquired Force Vision. Use Force Grip while your Force Vision is active and slide the door's locks right, across the door, to unlock it. Only move the locks when the lasers aren't firing—avoid running it into a laser.
Rush through the door and take your lightsabers to the stormtroopers along the split staircase. Take them all down quickly with a few combos.
Follow the hall atop the stairs to another room, and use Lightsaber Specials to destroy the riot troopers. Continue exploring the casino, tearing through stormtroopers as you go.
Tear through the casino until you reach a casino room with a force field at the center.
Hold position near this room's center as several waves of stormtroopers attack. The room is a large area with several doors along the wall; the enemies emerge from these doors.
Wait for them to approach and build up your Combo meter. Fill it all the way to the Unleashed rank and use your strongest Lightsaber Special to dispatch enemies quickly.
After clearing the room of all enemies, go through the door on the left. Step on the elevator in the room and ride it up to the next section of the casino.
Rush down the steps after exiting the elevator and use Force Push to bully through the squad of enemies. When you reach the bottom of the stairs, tear them up with saber combos.
Shortly after clearing the room, a large carbonite wardroid comes ambling in. Rip off its shield and get to work on it immediately. Whittle down its health with Force Lightning, then finish it off with lightsaber attacks.
Turn left at the bottom of the stairs, and follow the casino halls to a dead end. Use Force Repulse at the dead end to blow the roof off, then jump outside.
Make a right after exiting and defeat the next few jumptroopers in your way. Use Force Lightning and Saber Throw attacks to bring them down quickly as you navigate the platforms on the outside of the casino.
When you reach the platform with the diamond switch, use a lightning blast to charge it up and ride the small platform to the building's roof.
Finally, rush around the roof, battling several Ughnaughts as you go until you reach a transport similar to the one the baron used to escape.
You jump onto the transport and begin to ride it down the sky-track. En route, more of the baron's jumptroopers pull up alongside you and attack. Follow the onscreen commands to strike them down. Continue following the commands onscreen as you near a long bridge in your way and then again when you approach your final destination.
With no other obstacles in your way, you can ride the tram to the other side of the baron's city. Unfortunately, more enemies await you on the other side.
