Quest Group: Main Quests
Planet: Akiva
Prerequisites: To play this quest, you must first complete the quest The Droidsmith.
This quest will pop up in your journal right after completing the quest "The Droidsmith". Gedeek will inform you that the first thing you should do is upgrade your speeder so that it can move above water. In order to do this, you need to visit his friend Temmin.
Gedeek's work with the Empire has come to haunt him. But Kay needs to upgrade her speeder before she can help him fix it.
In order to continue this quest, you must complete the "The Scavenger" expert quest and unlock the Hydrorepulsor upgrade for your speeder. You will reach this quest by following the "The Scavenger #1: Temmin's Family" intel.
When you upgrade the speeder, Kay will talk to Geedek on the radio and he will tell her about his friends who can help you.
Gedeek's work with the Empire has come to haunt him, as a new type of Viper droid is wreaking havoc on the jungles of Akiva. Kay and Gedeek must break into an Imperial base called Kassina Outpost and shut down the project once and for all.
Travel to the location marked on the map. The place is called Sneaky Hollow.
You can get there from the north side.
Once there, you will find the wreck of a small ship.
Approach the ship and examine it. When you do so, you will get attacked by an Empire Viper droid.
Quickly find a cover. To destroy the Viper droid you must destroy its shield using ion module, then blast it. The droid will quickly restore its shield so you will have to repeat this several times. The Viper droid's life bar is displayed in the upper right corner of the screen. After a while you will be attacked by a few additional, but regular droids, and two rebels will join the fight and start helping you.
When all the droids are destroyed, a cutscene begins. It turns out that Gedeek is working with the Rebels and wants Kay to work with them too. Kay resists, but Gedeek gives her no choice; if she wants him to join her team, she must agree.
Return to the speeder, jump on it and drive west towards the point marked on the map. At some point the road will end and you will have to continue along the river. Eventually you will reach the imperial facility.
You should see a series of pipes in the stone wall to the left of the landing pad. Ride over to them and enter the yellow pipe.
At the beginning of the pipe on your right, you'll find an entrance to the vent, but it's locked.
To unlock it, go to the end of the pipe, look through the hole on the right and shoot the capacitor.
A vent will take you to the rocks near the landing pad. The area is patrolled by two stormtroopers and an officer. Make sure they don't see you and climb up to the platform.
Wait until the imperials are walking towards the landing pad, sneak up to the crate, take its contents and quickly retreat.
Sneak to the left to the turbolift. If you stick to the wall then the stormtrooper standing next to the alarm will not see you.
Take the elevator to the top and move forward. After a while your further way will be blocked by large fans. To turn them off proceed to the pipes on the right, ask Nix to open the shutter and when he does it, shoot the capacitor inside to destroy it.
Leap across the gap the fans were blocking, then follow the walkway until you reach the entrance to a tunnel with a damaged fan. Crouch down and step inside. Gedeek will contact you by radio and give you further instructions.
Go to the end of the tunnel, jump into the hole in the floor and go through the door. You will enter a room with two imperial officers. Wait until they finish talking and disperse, sneak up to them and knock them down one after another.
Use the data spike to open the next door. The area on the opposite side is filled with stormtroopers and other Empire men. Wait until the three stormtroopers patrolling this room move away and sneak to the right side.
Then walk along the wall forward to the south until you see the entrance to the ventilation duct.
Before you can enter the vent you must get rid of the stormtrooper who is looking in its direction. Use your blaster's stun mode to do this. You can shoot him from a distance...
...or quickly lean out from behind the crates and shoot at him before he has time to realize what's going on.
When it's safe, enter the vent and move on.
You will reach a corridor where a stormtrooper is standing in an area watched by a security camera. Use Nix to cause a distraction behind the stormtrooper, sneak across to the right-hand side of the corridor and enter the office.
If you are very fast you will manage to knock down the officer before the stromtrooper in the corridor notices it, but the chance of that is slim.
It's better to wait until Nix comes back to you, sneak up behind the officer's back, one more time order Nix to distract the stormtrooper and then knock the officer down.
You can now use the terminal and turn off the camera in the corridor, which will allow you to bring down the stormtrooper without raising the alarm, but you can also just proceed to the next room, step out into the corridor and just keep going forward because the stormtrooper will be looking the other way.
There are 6 opponents in the room. One at the console in the middle, another on the platform above, next to the terminal you need to reach, one each on the right and left, who occasionally move to the middle for a while, and two more in the back.
Wait until the one who passes to the left approaches the wall and quietly knock him down. The one standing in the middle won't notice it.
Climb up the stairs to the raised platform and use stun mode to eliminate the guy in front of you. You'll be passing through there in a while, and it will also reduce the possibility of detecting you when you take out the enemy standing by the terminal.
Sneak up on the opponent standing in the middle and knock him down when the foe standing in the back on the right is not looking in your direction.
Access the computer and disable the defense grid.
Go down the stairs on the side where you eliminated the opponent and enter the ventilation duct.
Use the grappling point to swing to the grate ahead, then cross over the ledges to your right and drop down onto the walkway. Open the door.
Gedeek will be waiting for you in the corridor on the other side and will tell you about his new plan.
Go through the hole that Gedeek cut, and then through the ventilation duct that will lead you to the lab. Sneak up to the scientist standing closest to you and quietly knock him down.
You can eliminate an opponent standing on an elevated platform using stun mode of your blaster.
Wait for the other two opponents located on the lower level to separate and deal with them one by one. First the one at the console...
...and then the one who moved further to the right.
Approach the terminal located on the raised platform, slice it, and use it to disable the energy barrier.
On the weapon racks located on the sides and back of the raised platform you will find a some weapons that can come in handy, such as Z-6 rotary cannons or blaster rifles.
As soon as the barrier disappears, an alarm will sound and four stormtroopers will run into the room through the gate in front of you. Take cover and get rid of them. Then four more stormtroopers will show up. The third wave will also consist of four stormtroopers. The last, fourth wave will consist of two opponents, but one of them will be a heavy stormtrooper with a machine gun and a shield. Kill them all.
Approach the terminal located on the footbridge above the door from which the stormtroopers emerged moments earlier and use it to open the door.
When you open the door, ND-5 will enter the room, but he will also be followed by three opponents, including one elite. Next to the terminal you just used, against the wall you will find a sniper rifle, which will be perfectly useful to you now.
Take it and eliminate the opponents with accurate shots.
When you do this, a cutscene will start. Gedeek finishes hacking the Viper droid, so that it stops following the Empire's orders and takes your side.
Just follow the droid, first through the door into the corridor and then up the elevator.
After a while two more droids will join you and following further you will finally reach the hangar.
A regular battle is going on in the hangar between the rebels and the empire troops. Viper droids will get involved, shooting at the stormtroopers.
Find yourself some cover and help the rebels eliminate all the stormtroopers.
When all enemies are down, another cutscene will start. Gedeek officially joins the crew. You board the Trailblazer and depart for Akiva's orbit, where this quest ends.
Rewards: New crew member: Gedeek Obaz; Gedeek's Blaster Upgrade: Ion Surge Kit; Outlaw Pants.
Kay has met up and recruited her former partner, the droidsmith Gedeek, and helped him and the rebellion shut down a dangerous Imperial droid project in a secret Imperial base.
Kay is one step closer to pulling off the heist, shaking her death mark, and landing a score that will set her and Nix up for life.
Once you reach orbit, you will receive a high Wanted level. so you have to engage in combat or maybe try to escape enemy vessels and reach an imperial terminal that will allow you to remove the Wanted status.
After completing this quest, you will be able to play the quests Legacy, The High Roller.
