Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic/Hidden Bek Base

From StrategyWiki, the video game walkthrough and strategy guide wiki

You need to speak to Gadon Thek, leader of the Hidden Beks, in the northwest corner of the main hall and ask about Republic escape pods before you can exchange your Sith armor for the papers needed to enter the Undercity and continue the search for Bastila.

You can also go to the bar to the west, but the barracks and elevator to the north are inaccessible behind security doors unless you later agree to kill Gadon Thek for the Black Vulkar Kandon Ark, who gives you their access codes. However, you're only committed to the assassination if you use the codes or declare yourself to Zaerdra or one of the guards (at which point the whole base becomes hostile): if you don't, then you can still return to the Black Vulkar base to steal the prototype accelerator for the Hidden Beks and race for them instead... then kill Gadon, moving closer to the dark side of the Force.

Map of the Hidden Bek base

Lower City[edit]

The entrance from the Lower City is in the middle of the base's south wall. You need to return there to return to hideout then transit back, or change party selection: if you do so when the base is hostile, the lookout outside will attack you.

Beyond the standard door to the north is the main hall of the Hidden Bek base.

Main Hall[edit]

Upon entering for the first time, you'll see Gadon Thek, a human male and leader of the Hidden Beks, standing behind the desk in the northwest corner to the right of a security door in the north wall. He's guarded by Zaerdra, a Twi'lek female standing to the left of the desk, who'll challenge you as you approach them:

KotOR Icon Dialog.png Zaerdra: Hold it right there – who are you and what is your business with Gadon?
Dialog
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: Calm down, Zaerdra. Nobody is going to try anything here in the middle of our own base. It would be a suicide mission.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Zaerdra: You're too trusting, Gadon. Brejik and his Vulkars want you dead. Anyone we don't know is a potential threat, and it's my job to make sure you're safe!
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: Do you want us to start attacking strangers on sight, Zaerdra – like the Vulkars do? I will never let it come to that! Now step aside and let them pass.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Zaerdra: As you wish. You can speak to Gadon if you want, but I've got my eye on you! You try anything and you'll be vaporized before you can say "Vulkar spy"!

She repeats this last line if you try to speak to her at any time, but you can now speak to Gadon Thek:

KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: 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?

You can now ask him any number of questions:

Dialog
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. You have problems with the Sith? KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. You said you were having problems with the Sith?
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: 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!
KotOR Icon Carth.png Carth: Don't fool yourself. The Sith would never commit to that kind of operation. They'd... they'd probably do something much more grand and deadly.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: 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.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. I want to ask you some questions.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: I don't see any harm in that. What did you want to know?
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. Is there something wrong with your eyes? KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. What's up with your freaky eyes, old man?
KotOR Icon Carth.png Carth: Uh, very tactful. Are you itching for a fight or something?
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Zaerdra: How dare you?! I should kill you where you stand!
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: 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.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. What do you mean? KotOR Icon Dialog.png 5. Why are Brejik and the Vulkars at war with you?
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: 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.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. But why start a gang war with the Beks? KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. Sounds like Brejik is acting like a spoiled brat.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: Brejik is a proud man. My decision was a public humiliation for him. Maybe if I had stepped down this gang war could have been avoided.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Zaerdra: Don't fool yourself, Gadon. Brejik wants to control the Lower City gangs. If you'd stepped down, he'd have led the Beks against the Vulkars. He wanted this war, one way or another.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: *sigh* I know you're right, Zaerdra. Brejik won't rest until I am dead and the Beks are no more, but it's hard to accept the truth of his betrayal.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 6. Is there any way off this planet?
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: 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.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 7. I'll be going now.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: Feel free to come back anytime. We're not like those Vulkar savages – strangers are welcome in the Bek base.

If you speak to him again before acquiring Sith papers from him:

KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: Back again? At least this time Zaerdra didn't verbally assault you for coming to see me. I trust her with my life, but she does take her guard duties rather seriously ever since this war with Brejik and the Vulkars began. Now, what do you need from me?

Search for Bastila[edit]

However, you need to ask Gadon Thek the following before you can continue the search for Bastila:

KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. I need information on those Republic escape pods that crashed in the Undercity.
Dialog
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: 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.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Zaerdra: They might be spies, Gadon! They might be working for the Sith!
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: Calm down, Zaerdra. If the Sith thought we knew anything useful they'd have a battalion of troops kicking down our door. No, I think this offworlder has his/her own agenda.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. Don't worry... I'm not working for the Sith. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. Do you know anything about this or not?
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: 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.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. Bastila's a slave? What will happen to her now? KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. I have to get in there and rescue her!
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: Normally the Vulkars would take a captured slave and sell them for a nice profit to Davik or an off-world slaver. But a Republic officer is no ordinary catch.
KotOR Icon Carth.png Carth: They still think Bastila is just a Republic officer. That could work to our advantage. Maybe she'll even figure out a way to escape from the Vulkar base on her own.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: She's too valuable to leave with the Vulkar scum at the base. Brejik's probably got your Republic friend hidden away somewhere safe until the big swoop race. You'll never find her.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. There has to be some way I can help her! KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. Swoop race? What does that have to do with it?
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: 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.
KotOR Icon Carth.png Carth: So how do you propose we go about rescuing Bastila, then? We can't fight all the gangs.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: The only hope you have of rescuing Bastila is to somehow win the big season opener of the swoop race.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. Gadon – can you help me with this? KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. How do I enter this swoop race? KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. But I don't even have a swoop bike.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: I might be able to help you with this, if you'd be willing to help us. We both have something to gain here – and much to lose.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. What are you proposing? KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. I might help you... if the price is right. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. I don't work with gangs, Gadon. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 4. How do I know I can trust you?
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: You're in no position to bargain here. Without my help, you don't have a hope of getting this Bastila back. You should at least listen to what I have to say. KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: You really don't have any other choice. Not if you want to get Bastila back. You should at least listen to what I have to say.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: 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.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. How do I know you'll live up to your end of the bargain?
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: My word is my bond. Everybody in the Lower City knows my reputation. Besides, you really don't have a choice. I'm your only ticket into the swoop race.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. How am I supposed to get inside the Vulkar base? KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. Forget it – I'm not interested.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: 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.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: 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.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Zaerdra: Mission? Gadon, you can't be serious! She's just a kid – how is she supposed to help them with this?
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: Mission's explored every step of every back alley in the Lower City. Plus she knows the Undercity sewers better than anyone. If anyone can get inside the Vulkar base, it's her.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. Where can I find Mission? KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. Isn't there someone else who can help me?
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: She and her Wookiee friend Zaalbar are always looking to stir up a little excitement. They like to go exploring in the Undercity, despite the dangers. KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: Don't underestimate Mission or her Wookiee friend Zaalbar. They're a formidable pair; tough enough to go exploring the Undercity by themselves!
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: Your best bet is to look for her in the Undercity. But you'll need some way past the Sith guard post at the elevator.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. I've got some Sith uniforms to disguise myself. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. I got past the Upper City guard no problem.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: A simple disguise might have worked on the Upper City guard, but the security down here is much tougher. You'll need the proper papers to get past him. Luckily my gang ambushed one of the Sith patrols headed down to the Undercity. They never made it, and their security papers fell into my hands. Since we're working together now I suppose I could give them to you in exchange for your uniforms. With the security papers you won't need a disguise anyway.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. Forget it – I'm not giving up my disguise!
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: The disguise won't help you get into the Undercity. Besides, soon the Sith will realize they've got a few too many uniforms missing and the only way to get around will be the security papers.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. What do you want with the Sith uniforms?
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: I like to be prepared. Eventually the Sith are going to try to drive us out of the Undercity. Sith disguises might give my people the edge we need in a crucial battle!
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. Okay - I'll trade the uniforms for the papers.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: Good choice. Thanks for the uniforms. You won't need them with these security papers anyway. Now, is there anything else I can do for you?
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. I'll be back when I get the prototype accelerator.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: I suggest you hurry. The swoop race is coming up, and we want you to have time to practice before the race.
Journal Entry Added The Search for Bastila
Gadon Thek, leader of the Hidden Bek swoop gang, will help you get Bastila back if you recover a prototype swoop accelerator stolen by the rival Black Vulkars. He suggested you look for Mission Vao in the Undercity or the sewers to help get you in.
Item(s) Received Gadon Thek
  • Sith Papers
These official looking papers identify the bearer as being on special assignment by order of the Sith government of Taris. They also warn of gruesome penalties for anyone foolish enough to challenge the bearer.

Although you've lost Sith Armor, these papers still allow you to use the Upper City elevator to travel between the Upper and Lower City, as well as access the Undercity elevator to continue the search for Bastila. Once you have these papers, Mission and Zaalbar won't appear outside the Tap Room of Javyar's cantina if you haven't already met them there; you'll have to go down to the Undercity to look for them.

The security door to the right of Gadon in the north wall is impossible to open at this time; the same is true of that at the north end of the empty corridor beyond the standard door in the north wall at the end of the corridor exiting the main hall to the east.

Another corridor exits to the west. In its south wall is the door to the control room, which is also impossible to open:

Security Control Room Unlock 100 (80) Bash Resist - Vitality -

The west corridor ends in a standard door, beyond which is the bar. Five Hidden Beks wander the main hall who will comment but not engage in dialog when spoken to:

Hidden Bek (Twi'lek female)
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Hidden Bek: Used to be everyone wanted to join the Hidden Beks. But if the Vulkars win that swoop race I got a funny feeling a lot of our own people are going to join up with Brejik. KotOR Icon Dialog.png Hidden Bek: 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. KotOR Icon Dialog.png Hidden Bek: 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?
Swoop Champion
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Hidden Bek: 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. KotOR Icon Dialog.png Hidden Bek: The Vulkars are done for! Nobody will want to join them after seeing what Brejik did at the swoop race!
Hidden Bek (Orange Twi'lek male)
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Hidden Bek: The Vulkars are gaining members every day from the smaller gangs. If they win the big swoop race there's no telling how many new recruits they'll get! KotOR Icon Dialog.png Hidden Bek: The Vulkars are out of control. Gang rivalry is one thing, but gunning people down in the streets is going too far! They don't even care if their victims are Beks or not! KotOR Icon Dialog.png Hidden Bek: 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.
Swoop Champion
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Hidden Bek: Hey - I recognize you! You're the one who won the big swoop race! I can't believe what Brejik did after the race - talk about no class! But what else could you expect from a Vulkar? KotOR Icon Dialog.png Hidden Bek: The Vulkars won't last long against us now that Brejik's out of the way. Serves him right for trying to back out on his wager!
Hidden Bek (Green Twi'lek male)
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Hidden Bek: The swoop race coming up will show those Vulkars who's in charge here! When we win half the people following Brejik will desert him! KotOR Icon Dialog.png Hidden Bek: It isn't safe out there on the streets. Those Black Vulkars will take a shot at anybody! KotOR Icon Dialog.png Hidden Bek: Brejik is nothing but scum! I don't know why those Vulkars follow him – Gadon's ten times the man he is!
Swoop Champion
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Hidden Bek: Hey - I recognize you! You're the one who won the swoop race! You better be careful out on the streets. Those damn Vulkars will be looking to get even with you for winning that race and killing Brejik.
Hidden Bek (Aqualish)
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Hidden Bek: If the Vulkars hadn't stolen our swoop engine prototype we'd be a lock to win the big race this year! KotOR Icon Dialog.png Hidden Bek: 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! KotOR Icon Dialog.png Hidden Bek: We should have wiped the Vulkars out long ago, but Gadon Thek thought he could reason with Brejik and prevent a war. Guess we know better now.
Swoop Champion
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Hidden Bek: Hey - I recognize you! You're the one who won the big swoop race! Best swoop race I've seen in years! I couldn't believe it was your first race! You've got real talent, rookie! KotOR Icon Dialog.png Hidden Bek: With Brejik dead it won't be long until those Vulkars of his collapse. I bet within a week Gadon will have the Lower City back to normal.

If you return to speak to Gadon without agreeing to kill him for Kandon Ark:

Dialog
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: You have returned. Do you have the prototype swoop engine accelerator with you?
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. I don't have it yet.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: 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.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. I want to ask you some questions.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: 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.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 4. I'll be back when I get the prototype accelerator.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: I suggest you hurry. The swoop race is coming up, and we want you to have time to practice before the race.

Otherwise:

KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. 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 elevator to Gadon's private chambers), and you can only speak to Zaerdra:

Dialog
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Zaerdra: Gadon can't speak to you right now. Brejik's put a price on his head, so I ordered him to stay in his private chambers until we find the assassin.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. If I see anything suspicious I'll let you know.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Zaerdra: Yes. Good. The more people who keep an eye out, the better we'll catch this assassin in time.

You can still change your mind and return to the engine lab to retrieve the prototype accelerator for him:

Dialog
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. I've got the prototype accelerator to give him.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Zaerdra: You have the accelerator? This is excellent news! I'll send for Gadon right away!
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: Zaerdra tells me you have the swoop engine accelerator. This is excellent news.

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

Dialog
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: 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.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. Not so fast, Gadon. I want a reward for recovering this.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: 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?
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. Okay, I lived up to my end of the deal. Now you better come through! KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. Okay, I see your point.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: 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.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Zaerdra: 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!
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. Don't worry Gadon – I'll win that race! KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. Why are you doing this, Gadon? KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. Zaerdra's right, Gadon. One of your own riders should get that swoop bike.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: 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.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. Sounds like you've got all your bases covered.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: You don't get to be leader of a swoop gang if you don't know how to work all the angles.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. Suddenly I'm not so sure about this.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: Without that prototype you don't stand a chance of winning. And if you don't win you can't get Bastila back – none of the other riders will give her up. This is your only chance.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. Okay, I'm ready for the race.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Gadon Thek: 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.
[You spend a restless night in the Bek base. In the morning, one of the Beks takes you to the swoop racing pits, where only racers and mechanics are allowed to go.]
Journal Entry Added The Search for Bastila
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:

Dialog
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Zaerdra: 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.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. But Brejik betrayed him! KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. I hope Gadon doesn't blame me for Brejik's death.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Zaerdra: 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. KotOR Icon Dialog.png Zaerdra: 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.
KotOR Icon Mission.png Mission: Gadon always was too soft on Brejik. I just wish I'd been there when that scum got what was coming to him! KotOR Icon Dialog.png Zaerdra: 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.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Zaerdra: Brejik violated the customs and traditions of Taris. He dishonored himself by refusing to honor his wager. He got what he deserved – even Gadon has to realize that. KotOR Icon Mission.png Mission: Gadon always was too soft on Brejik. I just wish I'd been there when that scum got what was coming to him!
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Zaerdra: But he isn't out of danger yet. The surviving Vulkars will still want him dead. He's a prime target now – as are you. You better be careful out on the streets.

The other Hidden Beks may comment on your win. Otherwise, you're committed to the assassination if you declare your betrayal to Zaerdra:

KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. I'm the assassin – time to die! KotOR Icon Dialog.png Zaerdra: I knew we couldn't trust you!

The whole base is now hostile, and the five Hidden Beks in the main hall will draw melee weapons to attack you:

Bar[edit]

Beyond the standard door at the end of the corridor exiting the main hall to the west is the bar. There's a plasteel cylinder against the south wall and a security door at its north end which is impossible to open at this time:

The three Hidden Beks (two Aqualish and a Twi'lek male) standing around tables by the east wall will comment but not engage in dialog when spoken to, just like those in the main hall.

If you return after meeting Kandon Ark in the engine lab of the Black Vulkar base's garage and agreeing to kill Gadon Thek for him, another Rodian Hidden Bek guard now stands to the left of the security door:

KotOR Icon Dialog.png Hidden Bek Guard: Keep your eyes open. Our sources tell us Brejik's planning a hit on Gadon. There could be a Vulkar assassin in here right now!
Dialog
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. Where is Gadon now?
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Hidden Bek Guard: He's in his private chambers. He won't be coming out until we find that Vulkar assassin!
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. I'll be going now.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Hidden Bek Guard: If you see anything suspicious, report it to one of the guards.

Otherwise:

KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. I'm the Vulkar assassin – time for you to die! KotOR Icon Dialog.png Hidden Bek Guard: Assassin! Assassin in the base! Attack!

The moment you declare your betrayal, or reveal it by using the access codes Kandon gave you to open the security door, the whole base becomes hostile:

SECURITY BREACH!!

The three Hidden Beks behind you will also attack:

Barracks[edit]

The barracks is in the northwest corner of the base, and can only be entered after betraying the Hidden Beks. Any two of the previous and following Rodian Hidden Bek guards stand by the table in its northeast corner:

The standard door in its southeast corner, beyond which is the elevator to Gadon Thek's private chambers, is in the east wall opposite another Twi'lek Hidden Bek guard.

Guards with Blaster Pistols have a higher Challenge Rating. There's a footlocker by the east wall. Beyond the standard door in the north wall is a small room, which is mined:

In the northeast corner is a footlocker:

Item(s) Received Footlocker

Elevator[edit]

The elevator to Gadon Thek's private chambers is in the north of the base, beyond the security doors which are impossible to open without Kandon Ark's access codes. The most straightforward route is to go down the corridor exiting the main hall to the east, then through the standard door in the north wall at its east end and continue up the corridor to a security door at its north end.

After meeting Kandon Ark in the engine lab of the Black Vulkar base's garage and agreeing to kill Gadon Thek for him, a Twi'lek Hidden Bek guard now stands to the left of the security door. Opening it reveals your betrayal, and the whole base becomes hostile:

Beyond is a chamber with a central pillar containing the elevator, the door to which is in its north face. A sentry droid patrols around it in a clockwise direction:

The security door to the main hall is in the southeast corner in the south wall; the standard door to the barracks is in the southwest corner in the west wall. Two footlockers are by the west wall as well.

When you take the elevator to Gadon Thek's private chambers, you don't find him alone:

KotOR Icon Dialog.png Kaeira: Who are you? You can't come in here! Sound the alarm, Gadon!
Dialog
Gadon Thek: Relax, Kaeira – this is an ally, not an enemy. He's promised to help get our prototype accelerator back from the Vulkars. Gadon Thek: Relax, Kaeira – this is an ally, not an enemy. She's promised to help get our prototype accelerator back from the Vulkars.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Kaeira: You're too trusting, Gadon. These must be the assassins Brejik sent! How else did they get in here?
Never 1. [Persuade] The guards recognized me and let me in. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. Sorry, but Brejik made me an offer I couldn't refuse.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Kaeira: [Failure] Liar! The guards would have announced you! Gadon – we've been betrayed again! KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. Time for you to die, old man!
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Kaeira: We're under attack! Guards! Guards! Dark Side Points Gained: -2

Both are melee fighters, and Gadon uses his Energy Shield before attacking:
