Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic/Lower City Apartments (East)

Sentry Droid
You'll see a sentry droid in need of repair to the left of the entrance, outside the door to the southwest apartment (which contains a Black Vulkar and a footlocker against its northwest wall with random contents).

The sentry droid's patrol takes it clockwise around the apartment complex ring, opening all occupied apartments it passes and engaging any Black Vulkars it encounters. Unfortunately it isn't powerful enough to clear the apartment complex ring single-handed, but it can provide backup if you need it.

West apartment
The west apartment contains two Black Vulkars and a footlocker in its southwest corner with random contents:

Vulkar Gang Boss
Opening the apartment door to the northwest apartment reveals a Vulkar Gang Boss and Vulkar Enforcer:

Vulkar Ebforcer information

Search the container of supplies against the southwest wall:

There's also a footlocker with random contents.

Security Crate
Opening the apartment door to the northeast, reveals a security crate in the middle of the room with six hologram projectors arranged in a semi-circle on the floor behind it:

If you activate a hologram incorrectly:

If you activate a second hologram incorrectly, the resulting detonation will take out everyone in the apartment. If at least one party member remains outside, those in the apartment can pick themselves up and retrieve the security crate's contents from its remains, but it's better to search the desk in the east corner for a datapad containing a draft of the aforementioned biography of The Twisted Rancor Trio:


 * Guts and Glory : A Chronicle of The Amazing Story of The Twisted Rancor Trio
 * By Gilthos Uksaris
 * (A work in progress)


 * The origins of what would eventually become the most famous band in the galaxy are surprisingly humble. The brains behind the group, manager Gilthos Uksaris, founded the Trio to earn a date with a young singer named Elinda.


 * The ploy worked, and Elinda became the first member of the band. Gilthos scrambled to find musicians to back her, and signed a Bith named Ujaa to be the lead musician. Soon after that he signed Ujaa's brother Ujii to complete the trio.


 * The band struggled at first. Elinda was a fantastic singer, but Ujaa wasn't much of a musician. When Elinda threatened to quit, Gilthos fired Ujaa and signed another Bith named Loopa.


 * Of course this didn't go over well with Ujaa's brother, and Ujii quit. Fortunately, Loopa knew another musician named Fodo, who joined to replace Ujii.


 * Led by Elinda's singing, the second incarnation of The Twisted Rancor Trio became quite popular on their home world of Taris, eventually attracting the attention of local legitimate businessman Davik Kang.


 * Davik asked Gilthos to bring his group in for a command performance. Gilthos agreed, realizing this could be the band's big break. Unfortunately, Elinda had heard certain unsubstantiated rumors about Davik Kang and his connections to the Exchange. Fearing for her life, she refused to go to his estate to perform.


 * Many felt that without Elinda's singing the band would crumble. But Gilthos came up with a brilliant plan to save the group by hiring Elinda's sister, Ashana, as the new lead singer on the eve of their scheduled appearance at Davik's estate.


 * Gilthos knew he was taking a risk. If Ashana couldn't perform at Elinda's level, Davik's infamous temper could have dire consequences for the entire band. However, if Ashana could match her sister's performance then Davik was likely to sign the band to a big time touring contract.


 * It was a risk, but The Twisted Rancor Trio was founded on "Guts and Glory".


 * [There are no further entries.]

This should enable you to activate the holographic security system in the proper order to open the security crate:

Matrik's Bounty
The southeast apartment has a low security door: it only has DC 12, so any character who spent any points in Security (including Carth) can unlock it; alternatively it can be bashed open, although it resists the first 5 points of damage and has 20 Vitality.
