The Death of Kazdan Paratus

Marek and Skywalker's next mission was to kill Kazadan Paratus. Paratus, who had been in exile on Raxus Prime since 18 BBY, had been one of the most technologically-skilled Jedi Knights, having been responsible for the maintenance of the Jedi Droid Training Corps. Since Order 66, however, he had grown mad, believing that the fall of the Jedi Order was caused by his inactivity (although this was not true). Paratus had used his engineering skills to construct a Force-powered army of Junk Golems and Behemoths, who patrolled the world and protected Paratus. Paratus however, competed with Jawa clans and Rodian mercenaries on Raxus Prime for control. The anarchy on Raxus Prime ended however, with the arrival of Marek and Skywalker. The two Sith Acolytes killed Paratus and destroyed his army, demolishing a junk Jedi Temple which he had erected. Afterwards, the Galactic Empire nationalized Raxus Prime. The Empire established a shipyard above the world, created processing and mining operations on the surface, and instigated a program to exterminate the Jawa clans and the Rodian mercenaries.
