So basically Taris was somewhat 'a mini version of Coruscant' before the bombardment which made it somewhat like Raxus Prime(the waste planet seen for example in The Force Unleashed).

There's a character in Rogue One that was Taris's Senator. Her name was Tynnra Pamlo

Some of the Taris government froze themselves in Carbonite, and was found 300 years later by the Hero of Tython.

I always liked Taris, it has it's moments with scenery and music that I look forward to when re-visiting the game. I remember playing Kotor for the first time and feeling so happy for the people of the Undercity when I gave them the datapads to find the promised land. "Yes, go! Go and find your paradise away from this." Only to then stare in horror as Malak blew everything to bits.. It was nice to know they survived, at least for a time.. I also noticed it myself for the first time replaying the game recently, the "glitch" where the player party is just standing there in the background 0:01.

Ah that cursed place. Taris in one planet I don't particularly enjoy playing through (in swtor) mainly because I have to chainsaw my way through hordrs of rakghouls. I did not know about it's history in movies era! That was interesting. =)

I've long since stopped playing SWTOR, but I still to this day remember my adventures through the story quest in Taris with my Sith Inquisitor. So damn fun.

I remember when child me thought Utapau was Taris. Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is.

I remember the planet being in the first Star Wars: Empire at War game and the Historical Profile when you loaded a battle on the planet stated that sections of Taris were rebuild but it never reached the glory that it had before Malak Destroyed it. It also made mention of the theory that Swoop Racing was founded on Taris but no proof was ever found due to the destruction.

The Tarisian council actually froze themselves in carbonite, they are actually alive, or who knows.

It maybe just me but taris was more entertaining then that mining facility that you start off in kotor 2.

The one thing I learned clawing my way across taris in SWTOR is that Mallak really couldn’t do anything right and didn’t bomb taris enough. Next time it needs to be bombarded until the crust has been peeled off Shot into orbit and then slowly starts to fall back onto the planet bombarding it for hopefully a third time. My republic characters hate it imperial characters hate it And the only reason why my imperial characters hate it more than my republic characters do is simply because the damn republic characters got a party it up on the goddamn Balmora while I was stuck on the Hell scape that it is Taris. Taris is so bad That thana vesh Somehow managed to slip and fall into the pit at the Polaris spaceport keeping in mind that this is one of the few places in the galaxy that has hand rails to prevent people from just falling off the cat walks. How does someone do that? How does somebody just fall off the one OSHA compliant walkway in the entire galaxy? And before you say anything you can’t prove That I pushed her with the shockwave ability that inquisitors. You can prove That her dying is the sole redeeming feature of the planet but you can’t prove that I killed her unless there’s a reward in which case It was me With AOE knock back right to the pit.

I remember it being a playable map in the Empire at War strat games, those were set just after Endor.

I’d love to see a video of yours discussing the history of some of the other planets in KOTOR. Korriban, Kashyyyk, I think you have before talked about Manaan, but I’d love to see this from you

Actually, yes. In Empire at War, which takes place during the Galactic Civil War, Taris is a city-world once again. Not only that, but the populace is strongly pro-human, which meant the Empire was able to secure their loyalty. I remember sending Stormtroopers accompanied by civilian militia against the alien gangsters who took control of Taris. It was a glorious sight.

1:04 Middle City!? Never heard of. There's the Upper City, Lower City and the Undercity. You should ask Bioware for some money for... expanding the SWEU :)

I remember hearing about its destruction, but I never heard if it recovered. I'm glad to hear that it did!

I never knew there was any info on what happened to taris after SWTOR

the nostalgia of walking through Taris and listening to that music, being called a shlummy and told to "stand aside if you know whats good for you", cant be replaced

In the Aftermath trilogy the majority of Taris was still destroyed, and it was heavily implied it was from the kotor circumstances. I don't think Taris ever recovered

Interesting! So glad to hear Taris came back to the Light. Cheers.

Even after all these years, this game doesn't look so bad. The aesthetics are still good.

Saul when told to bomb Telos: "In war, even the innocent must die." Years later, when told to bomb Taris: "But there are billions of innocent people on Taris."

I thought that Taris never recovered and the Nekghouals become the dominant race after the great galactic war. Ty for nice Vid Lore Dash

I'm happy it recovered it quickly became one of my top favorite planets lot of happy memories there. Also had to defend it from invasion in Republic at War.

Just to clarify: Taris wasn’t completely covered in cityscape like Coruscant. The vast majority of Taris’ surface was ocean. Obviously only the land area was completely covered in skyscrapers.

Love your videos. Keep up the great work

Love the great vids. Keep up the great work👍

Getting through Taris in KOTOR was somehow the hardest thing I'd ever achieved... Either that or was terrible at the game.

The real question is... did Telos 4 recover from Darth Malak?

Cool content. Taris deserves some peace finally.

Another fascinating and informative video my friend. I did see the destruction of Taris by Darth Malak but it was from KOTOR Movie Saga's videos, sorry to mention that again my friend. I didn't know anything about what became of Taris after Malak's destruction of the planet. It's fascinating to learn that they tried to rebuild the planet but it took a long time to accomplish that. I was intrigued to hear that Taris had no part in the Clone Wars era and was occupied by the Galactic Empire

Great content!

I remember reading in the original lore, it eventually did recover. But not for several millennia.

Finnaly some swtor related content >_>

Did Taris first appear in KOTOR? I don't remember ever hearing about it before playing that game.

Any chance of a Telos video and its restoration?

Surely not… It was wiped from the galaxy.

Taris definitely went through a lot oh hell just to at least get back on it's feet. Though one thing that unfortunately from the sound of it the main problem that the planet it had was never resolved. The Rak Goul Plegue that still infested it.

Hey man love your video love your what if story’s can you please do what if darth bane was jadi I really what it see how he affected the jedi order please 😇🤔

wipe a planet with turrets...okay...can't believe I bought that as a kid.

Taris was also featured as a planet in the RTS Empire at War.

Me remembering that some good folks like that duros died first: *solemnity* Me remembering Gorton Colu the racist also was one of the first to die: *justice*

Taken from Wookiepedia: "The rakghouls began as creations of Karness Muur's Sith magic, but scratches or bites spread the plague-even to Force users like you." ―Celeste Morne to Cade Skywalker "Rakghouls were a type of Sith-spawned mutants, engineered by the Sith Lord Karness Muur. Desiring an army to rule over and seeking a way to cheat death as so many other Sith before and after him did, Muur forged a talisman that he poured his spirit and power into, one that eventually came to be known as the Muur Talisman. Muur's talisman could turn almost any sentient being near him into a mindless rakghoul which he could control, but he found that there were exceptions: Force-sensitives and certain alien species could resist the talisman's effects. Thus, Muur engineered the "rakghoul plague", a virus-like disease that could be spread by a rakghoul's bite or a scratch from its claws, and that subjected the victim to a slower transformation into a rakghoul. Jealous and fearful of his power, Muur's Sith rivals killed him, and over time, the Muur Talisman came to reside on the Outer Rim world of Taris where the rakghoul plague ran rampant throughout the world's impoverished Undercity, creating vast numbers of rakghouls. The people of Taris would manage to put an end to the rakghoul presence on their world at some point prior to the year 19 BBY, and by the days of the Second Imperial Civil War, rakghouls were believed to be extinct."

wish Bioware would make a player home stronghold on Taris for swtor there's so much skyscraper buildings they could use

Thanks

Is there a chamce you could talk about Darth Bane?

I remember it was mentioned in Darth plagues ( the bank of taris) and in rogue one novilisation the Senator for taris is a member of the rebel alliance high command. She is the one that wants to surrender to the empire, her character resigned from the Senate in protest of the death star creation. I believe pam lo was her name ( I will not make a decision that leaves taris in flames. )

"Yes, but actually, no."

Yes and... on second thought, mostly no, even if you remove The Old Republic in the equation. However, as some of the commenters pointed out, the Alt-universe has a way better outcome for the planet...

So...the rakghoul serum that the rakghouls evolved beyond...cured the rakghouls in swtor?

Wait so where is this lore from? I’m super interested I can’t believe the under city survived and that the rakghouls survived and plagued the rest of the planet and eventually evolved into a force hybrid!!

Rip the under city villagers lol

Is this swtor or kotor?

Happy 4th of july

My friend if you have time I'd like to hear your thoughts on the latest episodes of the Bad Batch. Last Friday when Omega escaped Cad Bane with the help of Fennec Shane and today's episode with the Bad Batch going to Raxus to rescue a Separatist Senator from the Empire and leaving Omega with Cid

However. Despite.

1 dislike - It's treason then *force scream*

So, quests on Taris in KOTOR are pointless - thanks Bioware! IN KOTOR you spend so much time helping local population; you help this one girl DIA to get rid of bounty on her head, you saved some guy from being drag to mob boss, you ended gang war in Lower City, you even found a cure for Rakghoul disease only to see how Malak destroys entire city of Taris perhaps killing whole population... This whole Taris situation is like being dropped into Alderaan some day before Death Star visited this planet... What's the point?

Short answer: Nope

I'll tell you who never recovered from that DARTH REVAN my boy took his jaw tho 🤭and then got betrayed not only once but again by scourge man revan really got the short end of stick when it came to being a sith clever but unlucky

The short answer is: Hell no

In my canon the New Jedi Order also rebuilt the jedi academy there and it would go on to produce a nekghoul Jedi Master who reached the same level of influence and greatness as Masters Odan-Urr (My Master), Ood Bnar, Arca Jeth, Thon, Vodo-Siosk Baas, and Dominus all combined and is crazy powerful with both the force (both sides light and dark) and wielding a Lightsaber in battle like to the point where he can mop the floor with the likes of Vader, Sidious, Exar Kun and all the Sith Lords Combined.

At least it wasn’t Exterminatus

NOOOOOOO!!! After spending 8 hours finishing all quests, and driving the Republic off the planet, I truly hoped this damn planet stays as the ruined dead world, the symbol of Republic's failure and the price of resistance to the Sith. Damn it!

a tragic planat, but still an important piece in the story of star wars

HK-47 is best sith

After 300 years nope Taris never recovered play swtor and it will explain what happen to taris after.
