Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic/Black Vulkar Base (Garage)

Map of the Black Vulkar base garage

Main Base

The Garage Elevator takes you to the northwest corner of the garage. You cannot return to hideout or change party selection here, so you'd need to go back to the main base and out to the Sewers or Lower City to do either of these things.

There's a deactivated junkpile droid to your left (a war droid), and another one (a Mark II) further away by the west wall:

The droid is actively engaged in its patrol route. You cannot reprogram it anymore.

The Mark II is a melee droid that will patrol down the south tunnel and turn west at the T-junction. It's capable of killing the two Black Vulkars guarding the tunnel, even on Difficult without optimized weaponry or targeting systems, and without activated shields. It will also trigger the Minor Gas Mine on the right of that tunnel as it patrols, although it isn't worth repairing it for this purpose alone: a single Parts pack costs just over four times as much as a simple Anitdote Kit.

The war droid will patrol the north and east sides of the garage, bringing it into combat with the Vulkar patrol droid guarding the Loading Bay. However, there's another option to patrolling which may be more useful:

4. Reprogram droid to ram loading bay doors. (6 repair part(s)) Junkpile Droid: [Success] The droid engages its program and moves off to carry out your instructions.

Received: 20 * level Reprogrammed droid to ram loading bay doors

The droid will run to the loading bay and destroy itself, unlocking and opening it to allow access to the loading bay beyond.

Inside the Vulkar Base

Inside the Vulkar Base You've successfully shut down the thermal security system protecting the elevator to the garage level of the Vulkar Base. Now all you have to do is go down there and find the prototype accelerator... and deal with any angry Vulkars you might meet along the way.

Garage

There are two swoop bikes in the central garage bay, and a Vulkar patrol droid can be seen in the distance patrolling in front of the Loading Bay in the east wall. Out of sight in the south wall is a tunnel with ramps down to it on either side, leading to the Engine Lab.

View of the garage from the elevator. The loading dock can be seen in the distance to the left beyond the two swoop bikes in front of you, and the garage head has just emerged from the west tunnel to the right and is about to go down one of the ramps leading to the south tunnel, where he'll disappear from view.

The garage head patrols from just outside his Office, followed by two Vulkar guards. About 35 seconds after you enter, he'll emerge from the west tunnel in the southwest corner before making an anticlockwise circuit of the garage and returning to his office. He can be ambushed as he emerges, before his escort can catch up.

However, if you hold your starting position and wait, he and his escort will emerge and patrol the south side of the garage, oblivious to your presence. When they become visible again in the southeast corner, you can go down the west tunnel to his office and use the garage computer to overload one of the swoop bikes in the central bay, sounding an alarm that causes the garage head and his escort, plus the four Vulkar guards in the room next to the engine lab, to all gather around it just as it explodes, killing all seven at a blow if you haven't already done so.

Office

Go down the west tunnel in the southwest corner of the garage, turning north around the corner. There are two standard doors in the east wall towards the end of the tunnel, and the garage head's office is behind the north door. Once inside, the garage head's desk is against the north wall, and there are some supplies in the southeast corner:

Garage Head's Desk Pazaak Card +3 Pazaak Card -2 Improved Energy Cell Garage Head Key Card

Supplies Medpac (2) Computer Spike (2) Parts

This key card will give access to most of the restricted areas in the Vulkar garage.

The garage head key card is the only way to open the security doors of the Engine Lab. The garage computer is in the southeast corner.

Overloading the swoop bike in the garage bay will sound an alarm that causes the garage head, his escort and the four Vulkar guards in the room adjacent to the Engine Lab to gather around it as it explodes, killing them all if you haven't already done so. Opening all security doors unlocks but does not open the Loading Bay, but it neither unlocks nor opens the engine lab's security doors.

Otherwise, if you open all security doors so you can open the loading dock then do not access its security camera: this causes the Vulkar patrol droid within to start patrolling so you cannot be sure where it will be when the loading dock is opened.

The standard door in the south wall opens onto a room which is also accessible from the right door in the tunnel to the west. A Vulkar gang member is standing on either side of a workbench to the south:

Engine Lab

Once you've got the garage head key card from the desk in his Office, you can use it to open the security doors of the engine lab. Otherwise:

[It looks like you will need a special pass to open this door.]

Return to the garage and go down the ramp to the tunnel in the south wall. Just inside are two Black Vulkars, picked at random from a Twi'lek male armed with a Stun Baton, and one armed with a Vibrosword.

The tunnel beyond is mined just before it reaches a T-junction:

	Minor Gas Mine (2)	Detect	20 (0)		Disable	20 (0)	Recover	30 (10)

It isn't possible to walk around them, but both Mission and Zaalbar can at least disable them. Otherwise, it's best to enter Solo mode and have one party member trigger the mines before using an Anitdote Kit if need be (Zaalbar is recommended, and if he's at least level 7 and selected the Toughness and Increased Toughness feats then he'll take no damage whatsoever, even on Difficult).

Turn left at the junction and you'll see first a standard door and then a security door in the north wall as you approach the east end of the tunnel. The first door opens on a room containing four Vulkar guards, two armed with Vulkar Shock Sticks and another two armed with Blaster Pistols:

However, it's much easier to use the garage computer in the Office to overload one of the swoop bikes in the central garage bay, sounding an alarm that causes the garage head and his escort plus these four to gather around it just as it explodes, killing them all if you haven't already done so.

There's another security door to the engine lab in the east wall of this room. If you try to open it before you've got the garage head key card from the desk in his office:

[It looks like you will need a special pass to open this door.]

Once you have the card, do not open either door unless you're prepared for a fight as a light side character (opening the door in the tunnel may lead to preferable positioning), or ready to leave the base as a dark side character.

Inside the Vulkar Base You've found the prototype accelerator and, not surprisingly, it was under heavy guard by a Twi'lek named Kandon Ark, Brejik's right-hand man.

In any case, if you go west at the T-junction you'll see two standard doors in the north wall. The first opens to reveal a Duros Vulkar gang member in a room, working on a swoop bike, with a radiation shields locker in the southwest corner, just to the left of the door from the tunnel:

There's a Workbench at the back of the room against the north wall, which can be used to add any upgrade items you have to any upgradeable weapons and body armor you have.

Search for Bastila

Once you open either of the security doors to the engine ab, you enter a dialog with Kandon Ark, a Twi'lek male who stands to the right behind a desk, while one of his bodyguards, a Twi'lek female, stands to the left. Two more bodyguards are behind them against the north wall.

Dialog

Kandon Ark: Looks like we have visitors – lackeys conned by Gadon Thek into trying to steal Brejik's swoop engine accelerator, I bet! Mission: Brejik stole that engine from Gadon! It was never yours to begin with! Carth: You're talking like Brejik didn't steal that engine, himself, to begin with! Kandon Ark: Well I didn't go to all the trouble of acquiring this prototype just so you could steal it back for that old fool! Kandon's Bodyguard: Would you like me to dispose of these Bek spies, Kandon? Kandon Ark: No – hold on a second. I see you aren't wearing the Hidden Bek colors, so I'm guessing you aren't part of that feeble old man's gang. You must be a freelance mercenary. 1. You're right, I'm not one of the Beks. My name's Name. 2. Enough yapping! Hand over that accelerator. Kandon Ark: Instead of stealing the prototype for the Beks, why don't you come work for us? The Black Vulkars could use someone like you. 2. Forget it! I know all about you Black Vulkars! Kandon Ark: Be smart: Gadon Thek is old news! He's a blind fool in more ways than one! Brejik is a visionary – soon he'll control the entire Lower City! Don't shackle yourself to a losing team. 1. You've got my attention. What's your offer? Mission: What? You can't betray Gadon! I won't let you! Kandon Ark: Ah, Mission – the Hidden Bek's unofficial mascot! Your loyalty is admirable, but misplaced. Gadon only kept you around so they could laugh at you and your furry friend. Mission: No, that's not true! You're lying! Kandon Ark: Am I? How long have you known Gadon? How long have you worked for him? But they never offered to make you a Hidden Bek, did they? Mission: They… they said I was too young! Kandon Ark: And you believed them? Come on, Mission. You're smarter than that. To Gadon and his crew you were nothing but a running joke. Weren't they always teasing you? Mission: Well, yeah. Some of them were. But you Vulkars have tried to kill me more than once! Kandon Ark: That's only because you were with the Hidden Beks – and because we respected you. Brejik knows you're not a joke, Mission. He made sure the Vulkars took you very, very seriously. Mission: But… but Gadon said Brejik… Kandon Ark: Gadon had to poison your mind against Brejik! It was the only way to keep you from seeing the truth. The Beks were mocking you, Mission. You don't need friends like that. Mission: You're right! I don't need anyone but Zaalbar! If Gadon dies, he's only getting what's coming to him! 1. You've got my attention. What's your offer? 1. You were about to tell me your offer, Kandon. Kandon Ark: Brejik has grown tired of this petty war with Gadon and his pathetic followers. He needs someone to get rid of Gadon… permanently. If you do this task for him Brejik is willing to offer a very substantial reward. How does 500 credits sound? Oh, and we'll throw in that young Republic soldier we captured, too. 1. I thought she was being offered up as the prize in the swoop race. 2. Brejik will let me have Bastila if I kill Gadon for him? Kandon Ark: Well… we can't just give the girl to you. Not after Brejik's publicly offered her up as a prize in the big swoop race. But we can do the next best thing. Whoever wins the swoop race gets the girl. Kill Gadon and we'll give you 500 credits, sponsor you as a Vulkar rider and equip your swoop with the accelerator. You can't lose! 2. Just give me the girl now or we have no deal. Kandon Ark: Brejik can't withdraw his prize without losing the respect of every gang in the Lower City. Besides, she isn't even here. Brejik's keeping her somewhere safe until after the race.

The Search for Bastila Kandon Ark, one of the Black Vulkars, has given you a counter to Gadon Thek's offer. He claims that if you kill the Hidden Bek leader, then Brejik and the Black Vulkars will sponsor your entry into the swoop race where Bastila is being offered up as part of the champion's prize. You now have two choices: kill Gadon and return to the Vulkar base, or take the swoop accelerator back to the Hidden Beks.

Points Gained: -2 1. Okay, we have a deal. I'll kill Gadon for you.

Carth: Are you sure about this? I mean, I want to get Bastila back… but taking contracts to kill people is a bit much. Even if it is just more biker scum.

Kandon Ark: Excellent. Here – you might need these for this mission. They're access codes to Gadon's private chambers in the Bek base. Without them you won't be able to get at the old man. My guards will escort you to the main doors of our base. After you have killed Gadon return to the main doors and I will arrange for you to ride for the Vulkars in the swoop race. I'd suggest you don't come back until the job is done, or we might think you've decided to renegotiate on our offer. The Vulkars won't consider you a friend until Gadon is dead.

You regain control at the main entrance to the Black Vulkar Base in the Lower City. If you return here, you can fight Kandon’s bodyguards but he himself will no longer be there, while returning before you've attacked the Hidden Beks allows you to take the swoop accelerator back to them. Otherwise:

2. Don't listen to him, Mission. He's twisting your mind!	3. Forget it – I'm not going to betray Gadon!	4. How about I just kill you instead?	2. Forget it. I want Bastila up front or no deal!
Kandon Ark: *Sigh* I can see there's not much chance of convincing you to come work for us after all. Most unfortunate.
Kandon's Bodyguard: Now can I kill them, Kandon?
Kandon Ark: Yes, darling. Kill them. Kill them all.

All are armed with ranged weapons, although Kandon Ark may draw a Vibroblade, so melee attackers like Zaalbar can be at an advantage, particularly since Kandon's female bodyguard will use an Energy Shield while Kandon himself will use a Sith Energy Shield (which can also absorb sonic damage). He and the female are close enough together that Grenades thrown at either of them will damage the other, but this isn't the case for the other two bodyguards: any ranged attackers in your party should focus fire on them since they don't use shields.

Engine Lab Swoop Accelerator

Though not overly large the prototype swoop accelerator is surprisingly heavy. Without being an expert on swoop bike construction it is difficult to imagine how this simple device could be so valuable.

Return it to the Hidden Bek Base by leaving the Black Vulkar base via its main entrance to the Lower City.

The loading dock is in the east wall of the garage, guarded by a Vulkar patrol droid:

There are two ways to open the loading dock, the first of which is to program the junkpile droid previously mentioned to ram the loading bay doors instead of patrolling. This is recommended, since it both unlocks and opens the door. The second way is to use the garage computer in the Office to open all security doors, which will unlock but not open the loading dock. If you access the security camera for the loading bay, the Vulkar patrol droid within starts patrolling and you cannot be sure where it will be when the loading dock is opened (otherwise, it will be at the south end of its patrol, facing the south wall, when it opens).

Once open, you'll see the Vulkar patrol droid patrolling back and forth between the south and north ends of the loading bay:

This is much tougher than the droid that was patrolling outside, and its Carbonite Projector can be particularly troublesome because it will still paralyze for 3 seconds (the length of a combat round) even if your Reflex save against DC 15 is successful. However, Echani Fiber Armor (received from the Security Crate in the east Lower City apartments) upgraded with a Mesh Underlay (retrieved from the center footlocker inside the Armory of the Black Vulkar base) has Damage Resistance: Resist 20/- vs. Cold, which will at least always negate its cold damage. It also activates its Energy Shield Level 3 before anything else, so most ranged weapons are much less effective since it can take 50 points of energy damage.

The easiest way to defeat it is to enter Solo mode and move each member of your party down the south wall of the garage to the southeast corner, then along the east wall until they're all lined up to the right of the open Loading Dock.

Mission and Zaalbar are already in position to ambush the Vulkar patrol droid, which is unaware of their presence.

From this position your party can observe it and throw Grenades just before it reaches the north end of its patrol, so that when it returns it will still be within the area of effect. 3–5 (most likely 4) Ion Grenades are the quickest way to kill it, although if it survives the first salvo then even though it shouldn't attack, it will activate its Energy Shield Level 3 and finishing it with a Frag Grenade would be advisable.
