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

These apartments have a similar layout to the [[../South Apartments|south apartments]], with five apartments on the outer wall of an apartment complex ring and an elevator back to the [[../Lower City/]]. You need to return there to return to [[../South Apartments#Your Apartment|hideout]] or change [[../Gameplay#Party|party selection]].

 

You'll see a sentry droid in need of [[../Skills#Repair|repair]] to the left of the entrance, outside the door to the southwest apartment.

Three groups of 2-3 Black Vulkars spawn around the apartment complex ring: one just to the north of the southwest apartment, one to the north of the west apartment and one to the north of the northwest apartment containing the {{s|Lower City Apartments (East)|Security Crate}}. These groups may contain up to any three of the following:

{{KotOR/Item|Blaster pistols|Blaster Pistol}}

The number in each group depends on your character level, and that of your party: when character level > 6, three Black Vulkars always spawn in each group. When each group spawns depends on the direction you travel around the apartment complex ring: when you travel clockwise, only the groups by the southwest and west apartments spawn until you make your second circuit; when you travel counter-clockwise, only the group by the northwest apartment spawns until you make your second circuit (or travel in the opposite direction, in either case).

{{KotOR/Dialog||Matrik:|What… what are you doing here? I don't want any trouble with the Sith. Please, just go before… please, just go.}}

{{KotOR/Dialog||Matrik:|Good… get out of here. Stay out of my apartment and my business!}}

{{KotOR/Dialog||Matrik:|[Success] I… I guess I could tell you. You'll probably find out on your own eventually, anyway. Zax is giving his bounties away like candy, or so I hear. My name's Matrik – I used to work for the Exchange, but all the violence and killing started to get to me. I knew what I was doing was wrong, so I turned state's evidence.}}

A permacrete detonator can be bought from the {{s|Upper City South|Equipment Emporium}} in the Upper City for 50 credits. Leave the lower city apartments and immediately return to [[../South Apartments#Your Apartment|hideout]], then take the elevator and continue south to the store; upon returning to the south apartments you can immediately return to the entrance to these apartments. Before you give Matrik the detonator, be sure to search the footlocker in his apartment for its random contents.

{{KotOR/Dialog||Matrik:|Let me see… yes, this should do the trick. There won't be anything left of this apartment but some scorching on the walls after I set this bad boy off! Okay, the timer's set! Now let's get out of here before it blows!}}

{{KotOR/Dialog||Matrik:|That was quite the blast! Don't go back in there… the whole roof might cave in on your head. Look, I'm not a man for long goodbyes but I want to say 'thanks'. If it wasn't for you I'd be a dead man. But now I won't have to worry about any more bounty hunters coming after me. So good luck, and goodbye. Now that I'm 'dead' I can't be seen wandering the streets.}}

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:

{{KotOR/Dialog||Security Crate:|Gilthos: Sorry I couldn't be there with you, but here's the package I promised. Remember, activate the holographic security system in the proper order to open it or… BOOM! Just activate the holograms in the same order that they joined the band. Since you're The Twisted Rancor Trio’s manager, you should be able to figure out the code. I still think this is a mistake. Davik won't be happy if Ashana can't fill in for her sister. And you don't want to get Davik mad or you might never come out of that estate again. Anyway, good luck. And if this works, think about what a great chapter it'll make in that biography of the band you’ve been working on.}}

;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".
