Editing Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic/Docking Bay (Manaan)

==Star Map: Manaan==
As you land on Manaan, 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:

{{KotOR/Hide}}

{| {{prettytable}}
{{KotOR/Dialog|Bastila||The Force has given us a… a vision. Like the one we shared on Dantooine. Did you see it? Of course… you must have. The Force is strong with us both.|W=33%}}
{{KotOR/Dialog|Bastila||Another vision. The Force is guiding us, helping us retrace the steps of Malak and his old Master. Leading us ever closer to the Star Forge.|W=34%}}
{{KotOR/Dialog|Bastila||You felt it, yes? Another vision? The Force continues to work through us; showing us the Star Maps unearthed by Revan and Malak.|W=33%}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog|Bastila||It is strange that anyone would have built a Star Map here; the entire surface of Manaan is covered by nothing but vast oceans.|C=3}}
|}

{| {{prettytable}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||1.|It looked like the Star Map was underwater.|R=2|W=17%}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||2.|Maybe the land was once above the surface.|W=42%}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||3.|I don't have time for your visions, Bastila!|W=41%}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog|Bastila||It is possible. The melting of polar caps or a cataclysmic earthquake could have buried the land beneath the waves eons ago. Records from that time are incomplete.}}
{{KotOR/Dialog|Bastila||The visions are as much yours as mine - and they are the key to finding the Star Forge and stopping Malak!}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog|Bastila||The ocean floor is vast and much of it is uncharted, even by the native Selkath. But how could Revan and Malak have found their way down? No doubt things will become more clear once we discover the Star Map's location.|C=3}}
|}

|}

{| {{prettytable}}
{{KotOR/Journal|Star Map: Manaan|Manaan is an ocean world covered completely by water. The only surface settlement on the planet is the constructed Ahto City. Any ancient relics or ruins would probably be below the surface.}}
|}

You can your party if they know anything about Manaan:

{{KotOR/Hide}}

{| {{prettytable}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||2.|Do you know anything about this place?}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog|Bastila||Manaan is a water world inhabited by an aquatic race known as the Selkath. Their only surface city and spaceport is called Ahto. It is unique in that the Selkath are firm in their neutrality. They are neither part of the Republic nor controlled by the Sith, and they wish to keep it that way.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog|Carth||Manaan's a neutral world. They're the only source of kolto... the healing fluid... and they use that to remain free from both the Republic and the Sith. That's all I can think of, at any rate.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog|Jolee||Manaan's an unusual place. Not for its water, mid you... it's the kolto. Healing juice. Only place where it occurs in the galaxy. And that's about all I got to say about that. Now let's get going.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||2.|Do you know anything about this world?}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog|Canderous||Water worlds never had much of an appeal for us to conquer. They may put up a good fight in their own environment - no match for us, of course - but they don't really have anything of value either. The thing this world is good for is a substance known as Kolto. Kolto is the single best healing substance in the galaxy. But the Mandalore are not as weak and fragile as your Republic and Sith warriors. When we enter battle, we carry weapons powerful enough to pulverize cities. Both in our wars, and in our own personal combats, there are no survivors. So Kolto does not hold the appeal it does for your peoples. You have anything else you want to ask?}}
|}

{| {{prettytable}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||2.|Do you know anything about the planet we're on?|C=2}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog|Mission||Manaan's the source for all the kolto in the galaxy; that's why those fish-faced Selkath can stay neutral in this whole Sith-Republic war. But I don't know much else about this place. Sorry I can't be more help, you know? Is there anything else I can do for you?|C=2}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog|Zaalbar||I know that it isn't my homeworld. That is all I care about. There is nothing here to interest me.|W=50%}}

===Ebon Hawk===
The Ebon Hawk is in Docking Bay 26-C. Going through the door in the south wall allows you to enter (and later exit) the Ahto City security zone.
 
{| {{prettytable}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||Camera:|Entering Ahto City security zone. Cameras activated.|W=50%}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||Camera:|Leaving Ahto City security zone. Cameras deactivated.|W=50%}}
|}

Beyond the door to Docking Bay 26-C is the east end of a long corridor connecting to two other docking bays and the rest of Ahto City itself.

Upon first arrival on Manaan, a Republic soldier and a Sith soldier are arguing in front of the door.

{{KotOR/Hide}}

{| {{prettytable}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||Sith Soldier:|You Republic people are so pathetic, sitting around grovelling at the table scraps the galactic senators deign to give you. It makes me sick.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Republic Soldier:|The senators work for the good of the whole galaxy, not for individual gain!}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Sith Soldier:|Ha! Don't make me laugh, you gutless simp! It's the destiny of weak-minded fools like you to be ruled over by the strong, like we Sith!}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Republic Soldier:|I'm warning you! Don't push me, or you'll get just what you're asking for!}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Sith Soldier:|Try it. Just try it. I'd love to see you throw the first punch. And with all the cameras around the Selkath would be all over you inside of 30 seconds. You break their laws, you pay the price, Republic scum. But I can see that you're not man enough to back up your words anyway. If you ever feel like relieving yourself of your worthless existence, feel free to come by our enclave here. We have many, many ways to fulfill your wish.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Republic Soldier:|*grrr*}}
|}

|}

The Sith soldier walks off to the west, while the Republic soldier turns and speaks to you. You can ask a few questions about why the Sith are on Manaan, Ahto City and the Selkath, and 
the Star Map.

{{KotOR/Hide}}

{| {{prettytable}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||Republic Soldier:|Yeah, what do you...? Oh, I apologize Master Jedi, I should not have been rude.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||1.|It is alright.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Republic Soldier:|No really, I should apologize. I should try to control myself... as you Jedi do. Is there anything I can help you with?}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||3.|I would like to ask a few questions.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Republic Soldier:|Of course, I'm always willing to help a Jedi. What do you require?}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||1.|Why are there Sith on Manaan?}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Republic Soldier:|Well, for the kolto, of course. Really that's the only reason anyone would want to be here. It's the only reason the Selkath built Ahto City in the first place: to export kolto.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||2.|Tell me about Ahto City.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Republic Soldier:|Um... It's big. Real big. Actually it's pretty much the only real city on the entire world. The only place for us air-breathers anyway.}}
|}

{| {{prettytable}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||2.|Tell me about Ahto City.|W=50%}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||3.|Who are the Selkath?|W=50%}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Republic Soldier:|Manaan is a water world - which you may have noticed on your way down to land here - inhabited natively by a species of fish-people called the Selkath. They built this city to cater to us off-worlders and as a base of operations to export kolto, which is the only real thing they have to trade here.|C=2}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||4.|Have you seen an ancient Star Map?|C=2}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Republic Soldier:|A Star Map? Like an ancient artifact or something? No, sorry, never heard of it. Is there anything else I can do for you?|C=2}}
|}

Asking why the Sith upset him so much tells you why both they and the Republic are here, despite the war between them:

{| {{prettytable}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||2.|Why do the Sith upset you so much?}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Republic Soldier:|These damn Sith are everywhere on Manaan, pushing us Republic citizens around, trying to goad us into breaking the law somewhere.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||1.|Breaking the law?}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Republic Soldier:|The Selkath want to maintain their neutrality in this war we're fighting with the Sith and they enforce it VERY strictly.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||3.|The Sith and the Republic coexisting peacefully? Well… relatively…}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Republic Soldier:|Peacefully? Not hardly. Just look in their eyes. You can see they'd like nothing more than to kill each and every one of us, personal-like.}}
|}

{| {{prettytable}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||2.|They mean well, but are misguided.|C=2}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||3.|It is the work of the dark side.|C=2}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Republic Soldier:|You're... you're joking, right? The smug Hutt-spawn push us every chance they can get and enjoy it.|C=2}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||Republic Soldier:|If you say so, Master Jedi. It's very aggravating. Sometimes I just want to take one of them and... *grrr*|C=2}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||2.|Why don't you run them off Manaan?|W=25%}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||1.|Yeah, I know the feeling…|W=25%}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||2.|They mean well, but are misguided.|W=25%}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||3.|It is the work of the dark side.|W=25%}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Republic Soldier:|There's nothing we can do, though. The Selkath want to maintain their neutrality and they enforce it VERY strictly. So we have to sit here and let the Sith insult us and we can't raise a hand against them otherwise the Republic will face severe kolto export restrictions. That could lose us the war altogether.|C=4}}
|}

The reason is kolto:

{| {{prettytable}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||1.|What is kolto?|C=2}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Republic Soldier:|You're joking... right? Sorry, but everyone knows what kolto is. The most powerful healing agent in the galaxy. I would've died several times myself if we didn't have this stuff handy. But the reason it's important here is that kolto is only found naturally on Manaan, and all of our attempts to synthesize it have failed miserably. So we sit here on the surface, the Selkath harvesting what kolto bubbles up from the bottom of the ocean, and we buy it from them. Us and the Sith of course. The Selkath don't want to play favorites.|C=2}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||1.|The Republic and the Sith both stay here?|W=50%}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||2.|Why haven't they joined the Republic?|W=50%}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Republic Soldier:|The Selkath think that by staying neutral they can play both sides, selling kolto to everyone that needs it, and making themselves too valuable to be worth conquering. Well, that, and they threatened to destroy the only natural source of kolto on the planet if anyone tries to attack them. But I think they're underestimating the lengths the Sith will go to get what they want... They're probably planning something already. Is there anything else you require?|C=2}}
|}

|}

However, the following will tell you all you need to proceed:

{| {{prettytable}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||4.|Never mind. I must go.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Republic Soldier:|Of course. If you have any other questions you should probably see Roland Wann, he's the Republic diplomat here. He's by the Republic enclave near the visitor residences. If you don't know where that is, go north from here, then south past the port official and the first courtyard, east into the second courtyard, then north then east again. You got that? Have a pleasant stay, Master Jedi.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Journal|Star Map: Manaan|You have been advised to see Roland Wann at the Republic Embassy for further information on Manaan.}}
|}

If you try to speak to the Republic soldier again, he just directs you to Rolan Wann at the {{s|Manaan|Republic Embassy}} again: 

{| {{prettytable}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||Republic Soldier:|If you have any other questions you should probably see Roland Wann, he's the Republic diplomat here. He's by the Republic enclave near the visitor residences. Have a pleasant stay, Master Jedi.}}
|}

Another Republic soldier is at work at the east end of the corridor:

{{KotOR/Hide|Republic Soldier}}

{| {{prettytable}}
|
;I can't talk now. I have to get this kolto loaded up before my shift is over.

;If you got a problem go talk to our diplomatic representative. Don't bother me with it.

;[[../Hrakert Rift#Toxin vented|People are saying the Republic did something to cripple the kolto production here on Manaan, but I don't believe it. Sounds more like something the Sith would do.]]
|}

|}

A number of security and cleaning droids patrol the corridor:

;Beep beep beep-oop!

===Republic Embassy===
{| {{prettytable}}
{{KotOR/Journal|Republic Embassy|The Republic soldier you met in the docking bays on Manaan seemed to think you might have a hard time finding the Embassy here in the city… Perhaps it's a big place.<br><br>He said go south through the first courtyard, then east to the second courtyard, and it's in the northeast section of that area.}}
|}

While the east end of the corridor is a dead end, to the west it ends in a door, with a Selkath [[../Manaan#Merchant|merchant]] standing to the left of it by the south wall.

====West Central====
Beyond the west door, the corridor continues. Once you've passed another Selkath, named [[../Manaan#Trouble With Gizka|Nubassa]] (who may help you with your [[../Ebon Hawk#Trouble With Gizka|trouble with gizka]]), you'll see a door in the north wall to [[../Manaan#Sith Hangar|Docking Bay 26-B]] and another in the south wall, beyond which is a corridor leading to the [[../West Central/]] courtyard, en route to the Republic Embassy. The corridor continues to the west, through another door to [[../Manaan#Private Hangar|Docking Bay 26-A]].

===Private Hangar===
The corridor continues to a dead end in the west. Going through the door to Docking Bay 26-A in the north wall allows you to exit (and later enter) the Ahto City security zone.

{| {{prettytable}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||Camera:|Leaving Ahto City security zone. Cameras deactivated.|W=50%}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||Camera:|Entering Ahto City security zone. Cameras activated.|W=50%}}
|}

Beyond is another door, which is locked.

{{KotOR/Lock|Locked|Door|100 (80)}}

'''[Private Sith docking bay. Security clearance required.]'''

However, after speaking to Roland Wann from the {{s|East Central|Republic Embassy}} in the East Central courtyard and agreeing to undertake a [[../East Central#Mission for the Republic|mission for the Republic]], you receive a key which opens this door.

{{KotOR/Screenshot|Private Hangar|The hangar, as seen from its southwest corner.}}

The transport is to the left, in the northwest corner of the hangar. However, it's guarded by a trio of Sith elite troopers to the left, right and center, a Sith grenadier to the northeast, and a Dark Jedi apprentice closer to the door. The Sith are spread out and attack from range so while [[../Grenades|grenades]] and area of effect [[../Force powers/]] aren't as effective as they normally are, it's a perfect opportunity for a {{s|Classes|Jedi Guardian}} to use {{s|Feats|Force Jump}}.

Once you've left the hangar you won't be able to return, so choose your party wisely. The secondary entrance to the Sith base is mined, so one of your party needs {{s|Skills|Awareness}} rank 10 to detect this if you don't want to trigger anything; Deadly mines may be encountered elsewhere, requiring rank 20. There are also opportunities to [[../Skills#Computer Use|use computers]] and [[../Skills#Repair|repair]], which can assist with the inevitable combat.

As you pass the Selkath merchant, you may encounter a messenger for a party member if unlocked by dialog.

==Trouble With Gizka==
The Selkath Nubassa to the left of the exit south to the {{s|Manaan|West Central}} courtyard seeks exotic species for a zoological compound:

{{KotOR/Hide}}

{| {{prettytable}}

{{KotOR/Dialog||1.|How has the hunt been?}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Nubassa:|Anything non-sentient and non-carnivorous will do, though creatures that are easy to manage are preferred. Is that understandable?}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||Nubassa:|Poor, to tell the truth. I am beginning to think we shall have no species at all in our zoological exhibit. *sigh*}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||2.|Why would you want to buy animals?|C=2}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Nubassa:|Ah, good question. The Selkath have little exposure to life from other planets, you see, but our government hopes to change that. We are setting up a zoological compound for visitation by the public, and are hoping to stock it with non-offensive foreign creatures of all types. The only problem right now is actually procuring the exotic species we need. Selkath import restrictions are quite prohibitive, to say the least.|C=2}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||1.|So you want me to smuggle them in?|C=2}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Nubassa:|I would not use such a harsh word, off-worlder. Let us say that I am interested in engaging in private trade. That is allowed, according to our laws. Finding off-worlders that deal in such trade is most difficult, however. I have become quite desperate. Might you have what I seek?|C=2}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||4.|No, I don't have anything for you.}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||5.|I don't have time for questions.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Nubassa:|Well, if you do come across something potentially interesting, please remember me. My name is Nubassa. I hope to see you again!|C=2}}
|}

|}

Once you've disembarked on Tatooine and [[../Tatooine#Trouble With Gizka|Jor Ul Kurax]] has mistakenly shipped a delivery of gizka to the Ebon Hawk's hold, you can see if he's interested in taking them off your hands:

{{KotOR/Hide}}

{| {{prettytable}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||3.|I have some gizka, if you're interested.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Nubassa:|Gizka? You speak of the small, bipedal amphibians with the overly high reproductive rate, correct? Oh, no, I am afraid I cannot take those. A compatriot of mine made the mistake of purchasing a pair of such creatures several months ago. Within weeks our storage facilities were nearly overrun. If you are in possession of such creatures, I hope you keep them separated. If not, then you have my condolences.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||5.|Thanks anyway, then.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Nubassa:|My pleasure. Should you encounter some other exotic species, do please let me know.}}
|}

|}

You'll have to persuade him using your own [[../Skills#Persuade|skill]] or the [[../Force powers#Affect Mind|Force]].

He'll take them off your hands if you provide him with 100 credits, whether you agree to do so outright, after failing to persuade him he doesn't need any credits (or that he should give them to ''you''), or suggest paying him yourself:

He can always be persuaded if you suggest paying him 100 credits yourself.

However, he doesn't need any credits if you're more persuasive or you can [[../Force powers#Affect Mind|dominate minds]], or in the (highly unlikely) event that you don't even have 100 credits.

If you lie successfully you can also agree to have him take them for free, or do so after failing to persuade him to pay ''you'', moving closer to the dark side of the Force:

However, if you were able to lie successfully then you should easily persuade him to pay you. If you're highly persuasive instead, you can do so without lying and moving closer to the dark side of the Force.

This is the best outcome, but however you manage to convince Nubassa to take the gizka off your hands, once he has done so he leaves the area.

===Genoharadan: Ithorak===
Once you've [[../Ahto East#Genoharadan: Ithorak|met Vek]] in Ahto East's swoop track registration and he's agreed to set up a meeting between you and Ithorak, you can meet him in the hangar. You can simply go in after approaching Vek and the assault droid standing outside, or you can take an opportunity to isolate Ithorak:

{| {{prettytable}}

Vek can always be bribed or persuaded [[../Force powers#Affect Mind|using the Force]] to abandon Ithorak:

The assault droid remains, and since Vek is no longer there to command it you can reprogram it:

Either way, the assault droid will enter the hangar and kill Ithorak for you:

However, you always receive more experience, and an opportunity to move closer to the dark side of the Force, if you kill him yourself:
