Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic/Dreshdae

Star Map: Korriban
As you land on Korriban, you have another vision of a Star Map as you sleep in your bunk. If Bastila is with you and this isn't the last planet you visit, she speaks to you about it:


 * }

So Bastila cannot be added to your party on Korriban. You can still ask her and some other party members if they know anything about Korriban:


 * }

Ebon Hawk
You disembark from the Ebon Hawk on the north side of the starport on the west side of Dreshdae. A mechanic patrols the perimeter, checking computer panels. You can ask him some questions about Korriban and why the Sith think it's special, and if he's ever heard of a Star Map:


 * }

You can also ask about the, and how someone gets to the ruins or into the academy:


 * }


 * }

The door to Dreshdae is on the southeast side of the starport, with a Czerka guard standing to the right. The Twi'lek port authority standing behind a computer panel to the left speaks to you about a docking fee:

If you're equipping a or a :

Either way:


 * }

If you don't pay, you cannot go through the door to Dreshdae:


 * [The door to Dreshdae will not open until the port authority has been paid his docking fee.]

The Czerka guard is no help:


 * Go about your business, please, citizen.
 * This is a Sith colony. They are the law here. I am here only to protect Czerka interests.
 * You can conduct business at our office, if you wish.
 * Oh, entertainment can be found at the local cantina, provided by Czerka of course.
 * Please avoid the Sith academy... unless you are a hopeful, naturally.
 * }

You can simply pay 25 credits, but it's easy to persuade him using skill or the Force that he doesn't need to collect the fee, before asking some questions:

After asking the mechanic about Korriban and why the Sith think it's special, or if he's ever heard of a Star Map:


 * }

The door to Dreshdae is now open.

Shaardan
At the corner of the corridor to the southeast you'll see the Sith apprentice Shaardan berating three prospective Sith students. As you approach, he speaks to you to ask how to teach them a lesson:


 * }

You move closest to the light side of the Force by telling him to let them go, then trying to persuade him using skill or the Force, and succeeding:

However, if you fail due to lack of skill then he kills them with Force Lightning:

If you cannot dominate minds then after failing you should choose the only entirely neutral option remaining:

Otherwise, if you told him to let them go then you can choose another neutral option:

The remaining options may result in no net shift if neutral (40-60), otherwise you're likely to move closer to the opposite side to your current alignment (or simply closer to the dark side if you don't want to get involved from the start):

You move closest to the dark side of the Force by telling him to kill them from the start:

Lashowe
The corridor from the starport turns a corner to the northeast and goes down to a room where the Rodian weapons merchant faces you behind a counter at the south end. There's a freighter crewman on the northwest side of the room, and a male citizen in the northwest corner:


 * I'm just here on one of Czerka's transports. I don't have no business with you.
 * There isn't much to do in Dreshdae except have a drink until your ship's ready to go.
 * Most of the merchants head over to Czerka's headquarters if they want to do some trading.
 * Don't go near that Sith place. They won't let you in, and them Sith will probably shoot you before they look at you.
 * Those Sith are about. Probably even watching us in here. Don't bet they ain't.
 * }


 * *Sigh* I can't wait to get back to the Core systems. This planet is dangerous with all these Sith wandering around.
 * I hear them Sith are doing some kind of digging up on the planet's surface. How weird is that?
 * Whatever you do, don't try and land a ship outside the colony. The Sith will destroy you without a second thought.
 * Have you heard what happened to Taris? I can't believe the Sith are powerful enough to do that.
 * Yeah, the Czerka cantina's the only place to go around here for any real fun.
 * Are you a smuggler? That's the only way we get some decent goods to buy in this sector.
 * I hear you arrived on that old smuggling ship... the Hawk, or something like that?
 * Are you new to Korriban?
 * You're not here to try and get into the Sith academy, are you? Most of the poor fools who try are killed by the Sith. It's horrible!
 * There are a lot of young folk who come here hoping to get admitted to the Sith academy here in Dreshdae. Few ever do.
 * This planet belongs to the Sith. They allow Czerka to run the starport and a few mines, but the Sith are the ones in control.


 * }
 * }

Lashowe and two other Sith apprentices stand in the northeast corner of the room, and she challenges you as you try to exit via the corridor to the southeast:

Otherwise:


 * }

Unfortunately you can't call them out here and now (but have patience...). You can placate her by successfully making them laugh:


 * }

Otherwise, you can only antagonize her before they leave:

This failed attempt at sarcasm will earn the disapproval of the darker members of your party:


 * }

Enter the Sith Academy
You don't need to do anything before exiting Dreshdae and speaking to the guard at the entrance on the surface of Korriban, but you can ask the Czerka representative in the store about entering the Sith academy, although the prospective Sith male and Tw'lek female in the store and by the exit respectively are better informed.

Czerka Store
Leave the room via the corridor to the southeast. Just beyond the exit on the right is the entrance to the Czerka store. A Czerka representative stands behind a counter facing you as you enter:

 * }

You can ask him to tell you about the colony and the Sith academy, and who is allowed to enter:


 * }

You can also ask if he ever heard of a Star Map:


 * }

You'll need to be persuasive to get him to tell you all he knows:


 * }

The prospective Sith male standing in the northeast corner can also tell you how someone gets into the academy, as well as where you can find Yuthura Ban:


 * }

He stands with a Twi'lek female citizen, while a less informative prospective Sith, another Twi'lek female, stands in the southeast corner:


 * I can't wait to get back to the Core systems. This planet is dangerous with all those Sith wandering around.
 * I hear them Sith are doing some kind of digging up on the planet's surface. How weird is that?
 * Whatever you do, don't try and land a ship outside of the colony. The Sith will destroy you without a second thought.
 * Have you heard what happened to Taris? I can't believe the Sith are powerful enough to do that.
 * The Czerka cantina's the only place to go around here for any real fun.
 * Are you a smuggler? That's the only way we get some decent goods to buy in this sector.
 * I hear you arrived on that old smuggling ship... the Hawk, or something like that?
 * Are you new to Korriban?
 * You're not here to try and get into the Sith academy, are you? Most of the poor fools who try are killed by the Sith. It's horrible!
 * There are a lot of young folk who come here hoping to get admitted to the Sith academy here in Dreshdae. Few ever do.
 * This planet belongs to the Sith. They allow Czerka to run the starport and a few mines, but the Sith are the ones in control.


 * }
 * }


 * I've had two friends killed by the Sith already. It must be some kind of test... I'll survive and make it into the academy, I know it!
 * You'd better be careful around some of those Sith. They'll eliminate any prospects just to remove a potential future threat!
 * Do you know where I can find Yuthura Ban? I understand she's the one who determines if you are accepted into the academy or not.
 * Can you imagine if I actually became a Sith? The power I'd have! I could do anything!!
 * When one of the Sith thinks you're ready for the academy, he gives you a medallion. I wish I had one of those...
 * If you're looking to get into the academy, you're going to have a tough time. There's lots of us here trying to get accepted.


 * Hey! You've got one of the medallions! You've been accepted! How did you ever manage that?!


 * }
 * }

A male citizen stands with her, while another wanders the northwest side. Both are informed of events on other planets:


 * One of Korriban's primary trade routes went through Taris. Now that it's destroyed, the colony here will have an even harder time of it.
 * I suppose you've heard about Taris being destroyed? The Republic must have pushed the Sith into it, that's what I think.
 * The Sith blew up Taris, the entire planet. I guess they must have deserved it... but that's so many people...
 * Kashyyyk
 * Can you imagine? The Wookiee slaves on Edean have gone insane and started attacking the Czerka outpost there. It must be horrific!
 * One of my friends in Czerka said that they've been driven off Edean by those Wookiee creatures. Barbaric beasts!
 * I heard something about the Wookiees on Edean suddenly revolting. Do you know anything about that?
 * Manaan
 * The kolto reserves are all gone. That means the casualties in this war are going to become horrifying!
 * I bet the Republic is responsible for the loss of the kolto on Manaan. Yes they...they just want to keep it out of the hands of the Sith, I'm sure of it.
 * Have you heard? The kolto on Manaan has been poisoned... completely ruined. That's terrible news with the war still underway.
 * Manaan swoop champion
 * Aren't you the Manaan swoop champion? I figured you'd have gone to another sector by now, one with an actual circuit up and running.
 * It's not often I get a chance to meet such a fine swoop racer. You won on Manaan, right?
 * You look... familiar. Aren't you the one who won the swoop championship on Manaan? Too bad the circuit's dead or you could go pro.
 * Korriban
 * I hear the Sith in the academy are fighting each other. Hope they don't blow it up around themselves, or the colony will go with them!
 * There's some kind of power struggle going on at the Sith academy, I hear. Nothing unusual for those Sith, I guess.
 * I suppose you've heard? The heads of the Sith academy have disappeared. Something is going on, I'm sure of it.
 * }

Another Czerka guard stands in the back room to the southwest.

Cantina
Another male citizen wanders between the Czerka store and the cantina, the entrance to which is on the left down at the southeast end of the corridor. The Rodian Lurze Kesh stands to the left of this entrance by the cantina sign:


 * The Drunk Side

The Rodian Mika Dorin manages the cantina from behind the bar down its center:


 * }

He can answer some questions, including if he knows anything about a Star Map on Korriban:


 * }


 * }

There's a crate in the northwest corner:

There are also two pilots standing on the northwest side. The elder on the right can be asked about the Sith excavations:


 * }


 * }

The younger bearded pilot on the left is less talkative:


 * You own the Ebon Hawk, don't you? Wish I could fly a bird like that.
 * Our ship will be ready soon. Then it's off to Coruscant for a week or so.
 * }

A Rodian and an informed citizen stand in the southwest corner:


 * I must be on my way, sentient. My ship leaves very soon.
 * If you are wise, you will avoid the Sith on this planet, sentient. They do as they wish and many are killed without regret.
 * Taris has been destroyed. This portends ill for the future, sentient.
 * There is a building called the cantina which is a place of recreation.
 * Many sentients come to this planet to attempt to enter the Sith academy. I understand most die in the process. How unfortunate.
 * I have only recently come to this planet, myself. My apologies if I cannot help you.
 * This planet is controlled by the Sith. They are the supreme law here, and I suggest you be wary of them.
 * I must go to the office of the Czerka company. That is where business is transacted.


 * }
 * }

The Rodian player Toll Apkar stands by a table in the southeast corner:


 * }

If you don't have a deck, you'll need to get one on another planet before returning.

Korriban
Beyond the cantina at the southeast end of the corridor is the exit from Dreshdae at the southeast end of the corridor. Outside is the on the surface of Korriban.

To the right of the entrance to the cantina stand a prospective Sith Twi'lek female and human male. The female can tell you how someone gets into the academy, as well as where you can find Yuthura Ban:


 * }

The male is less informative:


 * I've had two friends killed by the Sith already. It must be some kind of test... I'll survive and make it into the academy, I know it!
 * You'd better be careful around some of those Sith. They'll eliminate any prospects just to remove a potential future threat!
 * Do you know where I can find Yuthura Ban? I understand she's the one who determines if you are accepted into the academy or not.
 * Can you imagine if I actually became a Sith? The power I would have! I could do anything!!
 * When one of the Sith thinks you're ready for the academy, he gives you a medallion. I wish I had one of those...
 * If you're looking to get into the academy, you're going to have a tough time. There's lots of us here trying to get accepted.


 * Hey! You've got one of the medallions! You've been accepted! How did you ever manage that?!


 * }
 * }

You need to exit Dreshdae and speak to the the guard at its entrance before returning here to gain entry.

Sith Medallion
Once you've done so, the Twi'lek Sith Master appears in the northeast corner of the cantina. Although she can be persuaded to let you enter the academy, it's better to acquire a Sith Medallion first. Four Sith thugs also appear outside the Czerka store, and their leader will challenge you as you approach:


 * }

If you say you don't want to pick a fight here, you can move closer to the light side of the Force and receive experience for successfully persuading them to leave you alone:

If you try to bribe them and fail, you still move closer to the light side of the Force; you don't if your response is more threatening, but no experience is received for successfully intimidating them:


 * }


 * }

If you don't bother to persuade them, fail or use the Force, then they engage you in combat:


 * }

Killing them results in more experience received at level < 16, but if this is a persuasive light side character's first encounter with multiple Force users then it may be better to avoid it.

Despite his low level, the Twi'lek thug has both Force Immunity: Fear and Stun, which effectively gives him Immunity: Mind-Affecting:


 * This medallion is clearly marked with the insignia of the Sith, and otherwise consists of a shiny black onyx-like material. It is unlikely to be very valuable, but is quite distinctive.

If you return to the room to the northwest then you'll see a lone Sith apprentice besetting two prospective Sith at its southwest exit:

He drains the life from the Rodian on the right before turning his attention to the Twi'lek female on the left:

He notices you:


 * }

The surviving prospect runs away as the apprentice engages in combat:

Once you've acquired a medallion, speak to the prospective Sith male in the Czerka store and the prospective Sith Twi'lek female by the exit from Dreshdae before entering the academy:


 * }

Otherwise, you can ask what that means:


 * }


 * }

Say you didn't get it in the normal way for a chance to alter your alignment:

If you speak again:


 * }

You need to successfully persuade them to leave:

Otherwise, if you can still speak to them after entering the academy:

There should be nothing left to do but present the medallion to Yuthura Ban.

Unfinished Business
Speak to the Rodian Lurze Kesh outside the cantina to learn about some unfinished business involving the Ebon Hawk:


 * }

Otherwise:


 * }

If you return without the spice, you have another opportunity to tell him you don't want to get involved in this:


 * }

Once you've retrieved the spice from the compartment in the north wall of the Ebon Hawk's cargo hold, you can tell him you don't want it or his credits, or exchange it for 1,000 credits as agreed:


 * }

However, he can always be persuaded to give more:


 * }

Once Lurze has taken the spice off your hands, he asks if you might be interested in earning more credits:


 * }

Otherwise:

If your curiosity gets the better of you then you can open the mysterious box now in the Ebon Hawk's cargo hold, or you can simply travel to and speak to Motta the Hutt in Anchorhead's swoop registration.

B'ree
You can ask B'ree what sort of merchandise he offers:
