Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic/Swoop Registration

Exit
The door exiting to Anchorhead is behind you in the east wall, in the northeast corner.

Tatooine Swoop Racing
If you speak to the track coordinator behind the counter by the west wall before signing up with Motta the Hutt:

Motta the Hutt is by the south wall:


 * }

Just tell him you have your own bike, then negotiate the track maintenance fee:


 * }

Do not pay 100 credits as he can always be persuaded to drop the fee to 50, and it's easy to use the Force to persuade him that you don't need to pay anything at all:


 * }

You're now free to participate in, or help Motta with some business, signing Nico...

Signing Nico
Nico Senvi is a young Tw'lek swoop racer standing in the northwest corner. If you try to speak to him before signing up with Motta the Hutt:


 * }

After signing up with Motta, you can ask him with what sort of business he needs help:


 * }

You can now ask Nico some questions about racing, and if he knows much about Tatooine:


 * }

You receive the same experience (250 XP in total) regardless of whether you convince Motta to give Nico a better contract or bully Nico into signing the existing one, but the latter is rewarded (at the expense of moving closer to the dark side of the Force). In both cases, you need to become champion before this quest can be completed.

Renegotiate
You can convince Motta to give Nico a better contract even before speaking to the swoop racer:

It's obviously going to be difficult:

If this fails, then threatening him first makes it easy to use your own powers of persuasion or the Force:


 * }

However, even this isn't necessary if Zaalbar, Canderous, HK-47, Jolee or Bastila backs up your threat:


 * }

If you try to talk about that business with Nico again:

If you speak to Nico again before becoming champion:


 * }

Once you've become champion, you can tell him you've convinced Motta to give him a better contract:


 * }

Nico remains, but you can no longer ask him questions.

Bully
Otherwise, you can ask Nico why he doesn't want the deal with Motta:


 * }

Rather than convincing Motta to give him a better contract, you can try to convince him to sign the existing one:


 * }

You move closer to the dark side of the Force if you successfully persuade or threaten him:

You move closest to the dark side if you can dominate his mind with the Force:


 * }

Speak to Motta for your reward:


 * }

You could simply accept this, but you might as well renegotiate on your own behalf:

Otherwise:


 * }

It's obviously going to be difficult:

If this fails, then threatening him first makes it easy to use your own powers of persuasion or the Force:


 * }

However, even this isn't necessary if Zaalbar, Canderous, HK-47 or Jolee backs up your threat:


 * }

'''Issued by Motta the Hutt, these bonds are honored throughout the galaxy. Each digital certificate can usually be redeemed for around 60 credits simply by selling them to any merchant or at any store.'''

Each can be redeemed for 156 credits from Suvam Tan on ../Yavin Station/, 2.6 times as much.

If you try to talk about that business with Nico again:

Unfinished Business
Once you've travelled to ../Korriban/ and accepted the offer of further employment from the Rodian Lurze Kesh outside Dreshdae's cantina, you can tell Motta the Hutt about the mysterious box in your cargo hold:


 * }

He can be persuaded to pay a little more:


 * }

Swoop racers
The three professional swoop racers stand around the north and east sides of the room: they can all be asked about themselves and racing, and told you're looking for something and asked who knows this planet best. You can also get them to leave, potentially receiving credits from them before they do so (this can be done to and  without moving closer to the dark side of the Force).

There's also a human male swoop racer standing in the southwest corner, to the right of Motta the Hutt:


 * }

A human female swoop groupie stands in front of the counter by the west wall:


 * }

Garm Totryl
The Rodian Garm Totryl standing in the northwest corner is a new swoop jock whose time must be beaten in. You can ask him about himself and racing, telling him you're looking for something and ask who knows this planet best:


 * }

You can make him leave with the following response, moving closer to the dark side of the Force:

You can get him to pay you to leave him alone before he does so:


 * }

Otherwise:


 * }

Yuka Rill
The Ithorian Yuka Rill standing in the northeast corner, closest to the exit, is an old swoop jock whose time must be beaten in. You can ask him about himself and racing, telling him you're looking for something and ask who knows this planet best:


 * }

He'll no longer answer questions after this response:

It's easy to persuade him to pay, moving closer to the dark side if you use the Force:

Otherwise:


 * }

Otherwise, you can also move closer to the dark side of the Force and receive credits by threatening him:

In these cases, he leaves.

Zoriis Bafka
The Twi'lek Zoriis Bafka standing by the east wall, to the left of Motta the Hutt, is a respected swoop jock whose time must be beaten in to become champion. You can ask her about herself and racing, telling her you're looking for something and ask who knows this planet best:


 * }

You can make her leave with the following response:

You move closer to the dark side if you use the Force:

You can get her to pay you before she leaves, moving closer to the dark side of the Force if you threaten her:


 * }
