This is a sub-page of Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter/Mission-Specific Unused Content.

While this mission was cut from the game, it has a substantial amount of leftover content, and is deserving of its own page. Known by its internal name of "convoy", this mission would've taken place after "Mount Merakan" but before "Hammer and Anvil", as Nym pursues the escaping freighters while Adi and the Point Modie evacuation team catch up with him. Removing this mission creates a massive plot hole, as the Hex production facility's location - Nod Kartha - was going to be revealed during this mission. Since it got cut, the team is shown going from not knowing where the production facility is located to suddenly showing up at the location with a massive fleet. The mission was very likely cut as it relied on earlier versions of the "Poisoned Skies" and "Mount Merakan" missions being present, due to various plot-related differences present in them. A prerelease temporary menu confirms its location in the mission lineup.

Missing Audio#

With one exception, every single voice line for this mission was removed from the game data, along with all pause menu text (which is why the mission's official name is unknown). However, the catalog containing filenames and subtitles was not, revealing mission information and objectives.

Voice Line#

Miraculously, one single voice line from this mission somehow made into the voice line data for Poisoned Skies. The voice line is from a temporary outro cutscene, and it's spoken by Jinkins who reveals the location of the Trihexalon facility - Nod Kartha. The fact that this voice line isn't transcribed in the catalog further proves it was going to be used for the outro cutscene, as once an outro cutscene's audio track is finished, it contains all music, voice lines, and sound effects all baked into the same file. It appears that M07_G107_ADI is the last voice line to play in the mission, before it cuts the outro cutscene containing this voice line.

While unconfirmed, this voice line could've been moved to Poisoned Skies in a late attempt to fix the plot hole, but it couldn't be completed in time.
