Taris, a once-glorious ecumenopolis, stands as a stark testament to the destructive power of war in Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic. Before its catastrophic bombardment, Taris was a jewel of the galaxy, a planet entirely covered by a sprawling, multi-layered city. It was a hub of commerce, culture, and intrigue, where the wealthy lived in opulent upper levels while the underbelly teemed with crime and desperation.
The history of Taris is one of ambition and eventual ruin. Its fall to the Sith, orchestrated by Darth Malak, was a brutal display of power, intended to crush the Republic's spirit and eliminate any perceived threats. The planet's subsequent devastation left it a scarred and dangerous ruin, a haunting reminder of what was lost. Exploring the ruins of Taris offers a glimpse into its former glory and the grim reality of its present, filled with scavengers, dangerous creatures, and the lingering echoes of its tragic past.
