==Central Beach==
The path back to the [[../Star Forge System#North Beach|central beach]] is behind you to the south. The path ahead leads north, then northwest and northeast before you emerge at the southwest corner of the north beach, where you'll see the sea to the north and a settlement to the northeast. However, before you can step onto the beach you'll be challenged by a Rakatan elite warrior accompanied by three Rakatan warriors and two young rancors. If you've already left the [[../Elder Settlement/]] on the south beach peacefully then combat is inevitable:

Regardless of how you enter the Rakatan settlement, once inside you cannot return to Ebon Hawk or change party selection without exiting.

==Rakatan Settlement==
The [[../Rakatan Settlement|settlement entrance]] is on the northeast side of the beach: if you enter after engaging in combat on the beach, it will be hostile. Otherwise, upon exiting peacefully after being taken to the One, two young rancors wander the beach, as do five Rakata, three of whom use a {{s|Melee weapons|Quarterstaff}} while the two remaining use a {{s|Melee weapons|Vibroblade}}:

;Once the Red Rakata are destroyed there will be none who dare to stand against our tribe!

;The One is the greatest warrior in the long history of our tribe. He will lead us to victory over all our enemies!

;The One is studying the secrets of the Red Rakata. In time he will use them to unlock the knowledge trapped within the Temple of the Ancients!

{{KotOR/Hide|Rakata}}

;The technology of the Red Rakata is a powerful weapon. It even allows their tribe to stand against the might of our war beasts.

;It was the One who found and trained our great war beasts. Because of them, none will dare stand against our tribe.

;Few among us expected you to ever return, Revan. Yet the One understood you would not abandon us.

;With the knowledge of the Red Rakata the One will lead us to dominance over all the other tribes of the world!

Should they be(come) hostile then those using a vibroblade are the same as the Rakata warriors first encountered except they only have {{s|Skills|Awareness}} rank 4, not 7, while those using a quarterstaff are {{s|Classes|Soldier}}s:

{{s|Temple Exterior|Invisible Mandalorians}} will ambush you as you approach the single pillar standing to the southeast of the temple exterior, even if this quest hasn't been activated. Once you've killed their captain and retrieved the head from his remains, you can return to claim your reward:
