The entrance from the [[../Lower City|Lower City]] is in the middle of the base's south wall. You need to return there to return to [[../South Apartments#Your Apartment|hideout]] then transit back, or change [[../Getting Started#Party|party selection]]: if you do so when the base is hostile, remember that [[../Lower City#Hidden Bek Base|the lookout]] outside will attack you.

|Dialog=You'll have to forgive Zaerdra. Ever since Brejik and the Vulkars began this war against us, she's been a little over-zealous in her security duties. The problems with the Sith haven't helped things. Zaerdra seems to forget that I know how to look after myself! Now, how can I help you?}}

{{KotOR Dialog

|Icon=Dialog

|Name=3.

 

|Name=Gadon Thek:

|Dialog=A foreign army invades Taris, declares martial law and locks down all travel to and from the planet? You damn well bet I have a problem with that! If the Sith ever moved in down here all the swoop gangs would unite against them. We'd use hit and run guerrilla tactics to pick them off… their casualties would be enormous!}}

 

 

|Dialog=But so far the Sith have stayed out of the Lower City and our strength is wasted on this stupid gang war! I tried to explain this to Brejik, but he and his Vulkars won't listen.}}

 

 

 

 

 

|Name=Zaerdra:

 

|Dialog=Calm down, Zaerdra… I'm not ashamed of what I have become. As you can see, I lost my eyes in a swoop racing crash. I rely on these artificial replacements to see now. But my blindness was not the worst consequence of my accident. My affliction was what eventually led to this war between my Beks and the Vulkars.}}

 

 

|Dialog=When I lost my sight in the swoop bike accident everyone assumed I would step down as leader of the Hidden Beks and let Brejik – my most trusted follower – take over. But with my ocular implants I can still see well enough to lead this gang, and I knew Brejik wasn't ready to take over yet. Unfortunately, Brejik didn't agree with me. In a rage he left to join our arch-rivals, the Black Vulkars. A lot of the younger gang members followed him, and soon he and his followers had taken control of the Black Vulkar gang.}}

 

 

 

 

 

|Name=6.

 

|Dialog=Not while the Sith quarantine is in place. Even the fastest smugglers' ships can't break the blockade of the fleet surrounding the planet without the proper launch codes. Any ship leaving the Taris atmosphere without the proper codes would be instantly disintegrated by blaster cannons fired by the Sith fleet's automated targeting systems.}}

 

 

 

 

 

 

|Dialog=I need information on those Republic escape pods that crashed in the Undercity.}}

 

|}

{{KotOR Dialog

|Icon=Dialog

|Name=Gadon Thek:

|Dialog=The escape pods? You know, I heard the Sith have been asking around the Upper City about them as well… but you don't look like you're with the Sith.}}

 

 

 

 

|Dialog=I suppose I could tell you what I know. It's not like it could do any harm to me or my gang… but it might cause problems for the Vulkars, and that's okay in my book. The Vulkars stripped those pods clean within hours after they landed. It's too bad we didn't get there first, considering what my spies reported the Vulkars found. A female Republic officer named Bastila survived the crash. We Beks don't believe in intergalactic slavery, but the Vulkars aren't so picky. They took her prisoner.}}

 

 

 

 

 

 

|Name=Gadon Thek:

|Dialog=I'm afraid your friend has become a pawn in Brejik's game to take over the Lower City. He's offered her up as the Vulkar's share of the prize in the annual swoop gang race. By putting up such a valuable prize Brejik hopes to win the loyalty of some of the smaller gangs. Their numbers will allow him to finally destroy me and my followers.}}

 

|Dialog=So how do you propose we go about rescuing Bastila, then? We can't fight all the gangs.}}

 

 

 

 

 

 

|Dialog=I don't work with gangs, Gadon.}}

|Dialog=How do I know I can trust you?}}

 

 

 

|Dialog=The swoop race is for the Lower City gangs only. I could sponsor you as a rider for the Hidden Beks this year. If you win the race, you'll win your friend's freedom. But first you have to do something for me. My mechanics have developed an accelerator for a swoop engine. A bike with the accelerator installed can beat any other swoop out there! But the Vulkars stole the prototype from us. They plan to use it to guarantee a victory in this year's swoop race. I need you to break into their base and steal it back.}}

 

 

 

 

|Dialog=Don't be a fool. You have to win the swoop race to save your friend, and that means breaking into the Vulkar base and getting my prototype accelerator back.}}

 

|Dialog=How am I supposed to get inside the Vulkar base?}}

 

|Dialog=Getting into the Vulkar base won't be easy – the front doors are locked tight. But I know someone who might be able to get you in the back way – Mission Vao.}}

 

 

 

 

 

 

|Dialog=Don't underestimate Mission or her Wookiee friend Zaalbar. They're a formidable pair; tough enough to go exploring the Undercity by themselves!}}

 

 

 

 

|Dialog=Forget it – I'm not giving up my disguise!}}

{{KotOR Dialog

 

|Name=Hidden Bek:

|Dialog=The Vulkars aren't the first group to try and take over from the Beks. Gadon knows how to deal with these upstarts. He may be blind, but he still can see the big picture.}}

 

|Name=Hidden Bek:

|Dialog=You heard what the Vulkars are putting up as a prize to the winner of the swoop race? A captured Republic soldier! Do you know how much she'd bring on the galactic slaver market?}}

 

 

 

 

|Dialog=I don't deal in slaves, but that Republic soldier Brejik's offering as a prize would be worth a lot of credits to the right buyer.}}

 

 

 

|Dialog=It isn't safe out there on the streets. Those Black Vulkars will take a shot at anybody!}}

 

 

 

|Dialog=If the Vulkars hadn't stolen our swoop engine prototype we'd be a lock to win the big race this year!}}

 

|Dialog=I can't believe that traitor Brejik use to be one of us. Gadon may be old and blind, but I'd rather follow him than a turncoat like Brejik!}}

 

|Dialog=We should have wiped the Vulkars out long ago, but Gado Thek thought he could reason with Brejik and prevent a war. Guess we know better now.}}

 

If you return to speak to Gadon without agreeing to kill him for [[../Black Vulkar Base (Garage)#Search for Bastila|Kandon Ark]]:

{{KotOR Dialog

|Icon=Dialog

|Name=Gadon Thek:

|Dialog=You have returned. Do you have the prototype swoop engine accelerator with you?}}

 

|Name=2.

 

|Name=Gadon Thek:

|Dialog=Time is running out, you know. If you don't come up with that accelerator you won't have a chance against the Vulkars in the swoop race. If you want to save this Bastila then you better get that accelerator back from the Vulkars.}}

 

|Dialog=I want to ask you some questions.}}

 

|Dialog=Your time would probably be better spent going after the prototype swoop engine the Vulkars stole from us, but I'll answer your questions if I can.}}

 

|Dialog=I'll be back when I get the prototype accelerator.}}

 

|Dialog=I suggest you hurry. The swoop race is coming up, and we want you to have time to practice before the race.}}

 

|Dialog=I have the accelerator right here.}}

However, if you ''did'' agree to kill him when you met Kandon Ark in the engine lab of the Black Vulkar base, Gadon is gone, a Rodian Hidden Bek guard now stands by the security door in the north wall (beyond which is the [[../Hidden Bek Base#Elevator|elevator]] to Gadon's private chambers), and you can only speak to Zaerdra:

{|cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0 style="background:#f2f2f2; border:1px solid #aaaaaa" width=100%

{|cellpadding=1 cellspacing=0 style="background:#aaaaaa" width=100%

!Dialog

You can still change your mind and return to the [[../Black Vulkar Base (Garage)#Engine Lab|engine lab]] to retrieve the prototype accelerator for him:

{{KotOR Dialog

|Dialog=I've got the prototype accelerator to give him.}}

{{KotOR Dialog

|Icon=Dialog

|Name=Zaerdra:

|Dialog=You have the accelerator? This is excellent news! I'll send for Gadon right away!}}

 

{{KotOR Dialog

|Name=Gadon Thek:

|Dialog=Zaerdra tells me you have the swoop engine accelerator. This is excellent news.}}

|}

 

Either way, once you've given the accelerator to him:

 

{|cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width=100% class="collapsible collapsed"

|}

|}

{{KotOR Dialog

|Icon=Dialog

|Name=Gadon Thek:

|Dialog=I was beginning to wonder if you would make it. The race is tomorrow, and my mechanics need time to install the prototype into the swoop engine of our bike.}}

 

 

|Dialog=A reward? I'm blind, but I'm not stupid. Your reward is the chance to ride in the big swoop race so you can win Bastila's freedom. We had a deal, so I expect you to honor it. If we don't honor our deals, what's to stop me from just taking the prototype from you and leaving you for dead?}}

 

|Dialog=Okay, I lived up to my end of the deal. Now you better come through!}}

 

|Dialog=Don't worry, I'm a man of my word. I promised you could ride in the swoop race under the Hidden Bek banner, and I'm still going to let you do that. And I'm even going to go one better – I'm going to let you ride the swoop bike with the prototype accelerator installed on it. Without it, you won't stand a chance.}}

 

|Dialog=Gadon! You can't be serious! We need one of our best riders on that bike! We can't let some rookie take the prototype engine into the race!}}

 

 

|Dialog=I have to be honest with you – there's a reason I'm letting you take the prototype engine. The accelerator isn't stable; there's a good chance it could explode during the race. I can't ask one of my own riders to take the risk – they'll be running unmodified swoops in the race. You'll be the only one using the prototype. If you complete the track before the accelerator overheats then you'll win for the Beks. If you die, then one of my other riders could still come through for me.}}

 

|Dialog=Sounds like you’ve got all your bases covered.}}

 

 

 

 

 

|Dialog=You can stay here tonight. The mechanics need time to install the accelerator on the engine, so you won't be able to practice your riding. But I've got good instincts, and you have the look of a racer about you. Just try to relax and in the morning we'll take you to the swoop track.}}

 

 

|Update=Gadon has entered you as a rider in the swoop race. If you can post the fastest time, you'll win the champion's prize – including Bastila. The Beks are allowing you to ride a bike equipped with the prototype accelerator, giving you a better chance to win the race… if you survive.}}

 

If you return after completing the search for Bastila and winning the swoop race for the Hidden Beks, Gadon is gone but you can still speak to Zaerdra:

 

{|cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width=100% class="collapsible collapsed"

{|cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0 style="background:#f2f2f2; border:1px solid #aaaaaa" width=100%

{{KotOR Dialog

|Icon=Dialog

|Name=Zaerdra:

|Dialog=On behalf of Gadon, I want to offer the thanks of all the Hidden Beks. You rode like a true champion in the swoop race. I'm sorry Gadon can't be here to thank you in person, but he has retired to the safety of his private chambers. I'm afraid he's grieving over Brejik's death.}}

 

|Dialog=Even so, I think Gadon hoped that somehow Brejik could be made to realize the error of his ways. Despite everything he had done, Gadon probably would have forgiven him.}}

|Dialog=Brejik violated the customs and traditions of Taris. He dishonoured himself by refusing to honor his wager. He got what he deserved – even Gadon has to realize that.}}

|Dialog=Gadon always was too soft on Brejik. I just wish I'd been there when that scum got what was coming to him!}}

|Dialog=The conquering hero returns! You did a great thing winning that swoop race for us! Membership in the Beks is already starting to climb again. Won't be long now until we're back in control and Gadon can restore some order to the streets.}}
