Orgus Din is killed by Darth Angral

What actually happened and when?

Jedi Master Orgus Din pursued Darth Angral's ship Oppressor during the 3643 BBY Desolator crisis but was captured. Angral killed him during a HoloNet broadcast, turning the event into an act of intimidation directed at his enemies. Before dying, Orgus secretly attached a homing beacon to the warship, allowing his former Padawan to track Angral and prevent the destruction of Tython. Orgus's sacrifice and the final confrontation occurred in connected but distinct stages of the same campaign.

Identity, institutions and anthropology

Broadcast violence can be intended to frighten a political audience beyond those physically present at a killing. The act was meant to display Angral's power and demoralize Jedi defenders. Orgus instead used his last opportunity to preserve practical information for his student, turning a staged spectacle into an intelligence advantage. The episode illustrates mentorship, technical objects and the moral stakes of resistance without inventing motives beyond the documented storyline.

Interpret the chronology without turning inference into fact

This archive distinguishes the recorded action in 3643 BBY from later outcomes and adaptations. Public reports, intelligence assessments, retrospective histories and characters' private claims are not automatically equivalent types of evidence. Events without an exact contemporary date are marked approximately.

Research context: Star Wars: The Old Republic Encyclopedia and in-game codex/story episodes, with relevant Legends novels and comics as listed in this dossier. Year-based historical references →. Visual schematic is an original site illustration and not evidence of the incident.

Anthropological assessment

Public execution is communication as well as killing. Angral tried to turn a death into intimidation, while Din used the same encounter to transmit strategic information.

Expanded Legends archival analysis

The loss of a mentor and the transfer of responsibility

Jedi Master Orgus Din's death at Angral's hands changes the Jedi Knight's story from an apprenticeship under a familiar teacher to an increasingly independent struggle against the Sith Lord. The killing is not merely a character biography detail: it removes an experienced person who had guided the Knight's understanding of the Order and its obligations.

Mentorship is a relationship through which institutional knowledge is taught in everyday practice. When the mentor is lost, an apprentice must rely on prior instruction, peer support, and the organization's remaining networks. This is one reason the death matters beyond the immediate fight. It does not establish that all Jedi shared Orgus Din's interpretations of events or that every pupil responded identically.

In the chronology, Orgus's death precedes the resolution of the Desolator threat. The page should avoid treating the two as the same encounter, or asserting that the death alone ends Angral's campaign. Source-specific dialogue and optional player reactions also vary from the shared event sequence.

Research boundary: Primary storyline and BioWare's official historical account supply the narrative frame; social-institutional analysis is IDS interpretation, not additional in-game dialogue. Exact day-level dating and player-specific choices are not asserted.
