The Battle of Taris, known to the Dark Order of Korr as the Deployment on Taris, was the second engagement of a terror campaign by the Dark Order and its Imperial Remnant fleet. After the success of the campaign's first attack on Coruscant, the Dark Order followed up with a raid on Taris, another heavily populated world. Operation Dark Disease's intent was to allow a carrier vessel known as the Infector to deploy extremely deadly battle droids, known as dark troopers, onto an enemy planet surface, where they would massacre civilians and any other resistance, spreading terror throughout Republic space.
