Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurtin' 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
After investigating the ruins at the east end of the plains beyond the courtyard outside the Jedi enclave on Dantooine, you must return to the Jedi Council chambers to tell them of your findings... or lie and have Bastila tell them, moving closer to the dark side of the Force.
Vandar Tokare: Ah, you have returned, young Padawan. Have you discovered what it was that Revan and Malak sought in those ruins?
Points Gained: -2 2. [Lie] No, I could not find anything.
Dialog
Bastila: What are you talking about? The Council must be told of what we found there! We found an incomplete Star Map, Master Vandar. And an ancient droid that mentioned something about a Star Forge.
Vrook Lamar: Lies! Bastila has already told us about this 'Star Forge' and the map you found!
Vandar Tokare: Peace, Master Vrook. I'm certain the Padawan only meant they had not found anything beyond what Bastila would surely have told us.
1. We found an incomplete Star Map and mention of something called a Star Forge.
2. [Lie] No, I could not find anything.
Vandar Tokare: This news of a Star Forge is disturbing. Action is required, but we must not do so in haste. We must discuss recent events in light of this new information.
Vrook Lamar: We should consult the Jedi archives to see if there is any mention of this 'Star Forge' and what it might do. We must learn why Revan and Malak sought it out.
Vandar Tokare: Return to your ship with Bastila and we will summon you when we are done.
When they're done:
Vandar Tokare: Padawan, you have done well in discovering the Star Map hidden within the ancient ruins. But there is more you must do in the battle against Malak and the Sith. We Jedi know victory over the Sith will not come through martial might. The Council has a mission for you, Padawan.
Dorak: I have consulted our vast archives in an effort to discover the nature of this 'Star Forge', but all my efforts have been in vain.
Vrook Lamar: Still, the Council are in agreement: the Star Forge must be found! Revan and Malak sought it out when they began their tragic fall; the Star Forge is surely a powerful tool of the dark side.
Vandar Tokare: The Star Map in the ruins showed you four planets, but it was incomplete. It did not show the location of the Star Forge itself. We believe there may be similar Star Maps on other planets. Each Star Map is likely a small piece of a larger puzzle. Find the Star Maps on Kashyyyk, Tatooine, Manaan and Korriban and we believe they will lead you to the Star Forge.
2. Sounds like a suicide mission to me.
Vrook Lamar: Ever brash, ever disrespectful! This is what we have pinned our hopes on?
Vandar Tokare: Peace, Vrook. We have discussed this; there is no other choice.
1. I am ready to do the Council's will.
2. Sounds like a suicide mission to me.
Vandar Tokare: The Jedi numbers have been ravaged by this war, by defections to Malak's cause and by Sith assassins. But we realize the importance of this mission. Yet if we sent a company of Jedi Knights with you we would surely draw the full attention of Malak and the Sith, dooming your efforts to failure.
1. Am I to undertake this task alone?
2. Good. Others will only slow me down.
Vandar Tokare: Secrecy is our best defense against the Sith, but it would be foolish to send you on this quest without someone to aid you, young Padawan. Bastila will accompany you, for there is a powerful connection between you two… a connection that might be the key to unravelling the mysteries uncovered by Revan.
Vandar Tokare: And Juhani has also asked to accompany you. After long deliberation we have granted her request.
Vrook Lamar: Juhani nearly fell to the dark side. Perhaps her presence will serve as a reminder to you of the dangers of that path.
1. There are others I want to join me.
2. Great. Bastila and the cat woman. Anyone else you want to stick me with?
Vandar Tokare: Of course those who aided you on Taris will also come; they possess skills you may find useful in your quest. Remember that secrecy and discretion are paramount to your success. You will not be able to hide the fact that you are Jedi, nor should you. But the true nature of your mission must not reach Malak's ears. You may return here at any time. Dantooine will be a sanctuary for you, a safe haven. Here you can find supplies and whatever advice or other aid we may give you.
3. Why should I risk my life to stop Malak?
Vrook Lamar: This was already explained to you. Your command of the Force makes you a threat to Malak. Eventually he will destroy you, and all the Jedi, unless you stop him first.
1. You can count on me. I will not fail.
2. When do I leave?
3. Why should I risk my life to stop Malak?
Vrook Lamar: You can leave whenever you wish; the sooner the better. The longer you wait the stronger Malak becomes. But first a warning, young Padawan: The lure of the dark side is difficult to resist. I fear this quest to find the Star Forge could lead you down an all too familiar path.
Vandar Tokare: The fate of the galaxy is in your hands, young Padawan. We pray you are up to the challenge. May the Force be with you.
A Quest for the Star Forge The Jedi Council has instructed you to seek out the ancient Star Maps scattered about the galaxy in the hopes of uncovering the location of the mysterious Star Forge, as Revan and Malak did before you.
If you speak to the Council again before leaving Dantooine:
Dialog
Vandar Tokare: You must not fail in your mission. Find the Star Maps that lead to the Star Forge. This is the only way to stop Malak and his Sith followers. You and Bastila are the galaxy's last desperate hope.
Vrook Lamar: But beware the dark side. Bastila will guide you, but she herself is young and new to the ways of the Jedi. You must help her as much as she helps you.
Vandar Tokare: The fate of the galaxy is in your hands, young Padawan. We pray you are up to the challenge. May the Force be with you.
Vandar Tokare: You must not fail in your mission, young Padawan. Find the Star Maps that lead to the Star Forge. This is the only way to stop Malak and his Sith followers. You and Bastila are the galaxy's last, desperate hope. May the Force be with you in this quest.
Vrook Lamar: It is well you are still alive, Padawan, in that you have not yet managed to fail us completely. Why is it that you are now bothering me instead of seeking out the Star Map?
Vrook Lamar: You have a mission to attend to, Padawan. And as much as I may wish it otherwise, you are our only hope. The Council has placed the fate of the galaxy within your hands. I pray both you and Bastila are able to emerge from this ordeal as servants of the light. May the Force be with you, young Padawan.
Zhar Lestin: May the Force be with you in your quest.
You're now free to leave the Jedi enclave aboard the Template:~, where Juhani can join your party if she was redeemed rather than slain during your third trial, and explore the desert of Template:~, the forest of Template:~, the ocean of Template:~ and the Sith world of Template:~ in any order you wish, as often as you wish (although you can be banned from Manaan). You can also return to Template:~ (before being taken aboard the Template:~ after finding your fourth Star Map, at least) and, if available, visit Yavin station.
Great Hunt
As you exit the tunnel and go up the ramp to the docking bay and the Ebon Hawk, Deesra the Twi'lek Jedi will speak to warn you about the terentatek, creatures born of the dark side whose prey are the Jedi.
Dialog
Deesra: Padawan, a word, if I may. There are many rumors about your most recent meeting with the Jedi Council. There is talk that they are sending you on a mission to help us against Malak and the Sith.
1. How do you know the Council gave me a mission?
Deesra: I saw you going into the Council chambers. You were in there for some time. I naturally assumed the Council had given you a task to perform.
1. How do you know the Council gave me a mission?
2. I don't think the Council would want me to speak openly of this mission.
3. My discussions with the Council are none of your business!
Deesra: Please understand that I am not asking you to reveal anything that could endanger the Order or the Republic. Whatever task the Council has given you is for your ears, not mine. I only want to wish you well, and to warn you to be careful. There are many evils out there, many dangers. The Sith are not the only minions of the dark side.
3. I can look after myself.
Deesra: Yes, your skill and prowess are already well known throughout this Academy. But even you would be wise to heed my warnings.
1. What could be more dangerous than the Sith?
2. What are you talking about?
3. I can look after myself.
Deesra: Master Dorak has been training me to succeed him as Chronicler here in the Academy. In my studies I have come across tales of creatures that are born of the dark side, monsters of pure evil. The worst of these abominations is the terentatek, a beast that feeds on the blood of those who are strong in the Force. Over the centuries, many Jedi have fallen to their ravenous hunger.
3. Why are you telling me this?
Deesra: You have completed your initial training in a fraction of the normal time. The Force is very strong with you. I'm afraid you might become a target for these creatures.
1. What makes this creature so dangerous?
2. It's hard to believe an animal could pose a threat to a Jedi.
3. Why are you telling me this?
Deesra: The terentatek is a predator, and we Jedi are its prey. They are incredibly strong, with a primal cunning. And they have an in-born resistance to the Force. There are some who believe the terentatek is a monster bred by the ancient Sith, and spread throughout the galaxy to destroy the Jedi. Fortunately, the terentatek is quite rare. They only dwell in the most dangerous and darkest of places. In fact, one has not been seen in nearly forty years.
1. Sounds like they're extinct.
2. Then why are you worried about them now?
Deesra: This is not the first time the terentatek have vanished for long periods of time. Many believe they can lay dormant for years, only to rise and hunt when the power of the dark side waxes full. I fear Malak's rise may have woken these creatures from their dormant state. Once the Sith are beaten, I would not be surprised if the Council organized another Great Hunt to try and exterminate them.
2. Thanks for the warning. I'll be careful.
3. I can't waste time listening to your fables!
Deesra: A final warning as you go, Padawan: do not underestimate the terentatek. If you do, you may suffer the same fate as those who disappeared after the Great Hunt.
If you continue this dialog instead or resume it later, he can tell you about the Great Hunt for these terentatek organized by the Jedi Council.
Dialog
1. The Great Hunt? What's that?
1. Tell me about the Great Hunt you mentioned before.
Deesra: The Great Hunt was organized by the Jedi Council shortly after the war against Exar Kun. Jedi were scattered throughout the galaxy, helping to rebuild from the devastation. Many Jedi vanished during this period, disappearing from a variety of worlds without warning. We did not know they had been slain until their mutilated bodies began to be discovered. The Council investigated, and discovered the terentatek were behind the killings. It was decided the galaxy had to be purged of these insatiable monsters – though the cost proved high.
1. So the Jedi just killed these creatures?
Deesra: The terentatek are an abomination, they are ruthless engines of death and destruction. The Council had no choice but to destroy them, for the greater good of the galaxy.
1. So the Jedi just killed these creatures?
2. Cost? What cost?
Deesra: Many Jedi banded together and journeyed to the planets that were suspected of harboring the terentatek. The Great Hunt did not rest until all the creatures had been slain – or almost all. There were still rumors of terentatek on the planet of Korriban, a dark world some believe to be the birthplace of the Sith. That is where Exar Kun was corrupted during the first Sith War. They never went to Korriban. The Council, fearing more Jedi might fall to the dark side, declared the Great Hunt was officially over… though three Jedi were appointed to continue the work.
1. The work of killing terentatek, you mean.
2. Why? What was so special about those three?
Deesra: The Jedi chosen to continue the hunt on their own were Duron Qel-Droma, Guun Han Saresh and Shaela Nur. These three shared a powerful bond, and each of them was devoted to the light. The Council felt that together they would be able to defeat any terentatek they found. And by supporting each other they could resist the temptations of Korriban and the lure of the dark side. But none of the three survived. Their Master felt them become one with the Force when they left this world. He believed they were slain by one of the monsters they sought. The Council felt it was too dangerous to send anyone else in search of their remains, so their exact fate is not known. But let their deaths serve as a warning to you, Padawan.
2. I'll be going now.
Deesra: Then may the Force be with you.
You can learn the fate of the last three Jedi tasked with the hunt as you explore the galaxy.
Calo Nord
After you leave Dantooine, Dark Malak approaches Admiral Saul Karath on the bridge of the Leviathan…
Dialog
Admiral Saul Karath: Lord Malak, the Star Forge is operating at 200% capacity – far beyond our expectations.
Darth Malak: I am more interested in the young Jedi Bastila and her Battle Meditation.Have you learned how she escaped the destruction of Taris?
Admiral Saul Karath: She was aided by Carth Onasi, a decorated war hero of the Republic and a legendary soldier. During the Mandalore Wars he was honored many times for his bravery.
Darth Malak: You know this man?
Admiral Saul Karath: Yes, Lord Malak. He served under me when I still followed the Republic. You could say I was his mentor.
Darth Malak: Interesting. How did you acquire this information, Admiral?
Admiral Saul Karath: An eye witness, Lord Malak.
Calo Nord now approaches, last seen by you in the hangar of Davik's estate. Your party weren't the only ones to escape Taris...
Admiral Saul Karath: Calo Nord, a bounty hunter, was there when Bastila and Carth escaped the planet. Apparently they left him for dead.
Darth Malak: A Jedi and a war hero – it's a wonder you survived the encounter.
Calo Nord: I am hard to kill, Lord Malak.
Admiral Saul Karath: Calo has agreed to help us capture the young Bastila – for a very hefty fee, of course. But I assure you he is well worth the price. His reputation as a bounty hunter is well earned.
Darth Malak: Her companions are nothing to me, Calo – but I desire the young Jedi taken alive if at all possible.
Admiral Saul Karath: Lord Malak, forgive me. There is something else. May we have a private audience away from the ears of the common soldiers?
Darth Malak: I trust you are not wasting my time, Admiral Karath.
Admiral Saul Karath: I promise you will be very interested in what Calo has to tell you about Bastila's other companion, Lord Malak.
So after Darth Malak ordered the destruction of an entire planet to get Bastila, he dials it down a notch and the bounty hunter Calo Nord has been commissioned to capture her. After your last encounter Nord may have lost a great deal of the mystique he had earlier, but you'll soon find out if he can restore his reputation...

Kashyyyk
Upon first descent to the Shadowlands, if Calo Nord hasn't been encountered since escaping Taris then he awaits with a couple of Wookiee thugs by a campfire to the south of the basket. He immediately challenges, giving no time to prepare before engaging in combat.
Dialog
Calo Nord: I have to give you credit… you've led me on quite a chase. But nobody gets away from Calo Nord in the end!
Canderous: I see you brought some back up, Calo. Realized we were a bit much to handle on your own, eh?
Calo Nord: You got lucky on Taris; the Sith attack saved you from a quick and gruesome death. But I promise you, the Sith won't be getting in my way this time!
1. Hold on, Calo… maybe we can work out a deal here.
Calo Nord: Sorry, I'm not in this for the credits. You're the only ones who've ever gotten away from me – I've got a rep to protect!
1. Hold on, Calo… maybe we can work out a deal here.
2. You think I got lucky last time? Okay, let's do it again!
He starts by using his Template:KotOR, absorbing 70 points of energy, sonic, cold, heat or electrical damage in total. Template:KotOR also has Damage Resistance: Resist 10/- vs. Cold, Fire and Sonic.
The Wookiee thug behind him on the left begins with a Template:KotOR, while that on the right has a Template:KotOR.
Upon returning to Template:~ from the Template:~ with the Star Map, if Calo Nord hasn't been encountered since escaping Taris then he awaits with a couple of thugs in the corridor between security control and the submersible. You can prepare before opening the west door to exit security control and engaging in combat.

Calo Nord: You got lucky on Taris; the Sith attack saved you from a quick and gruesome death. But I promise you, the Sith won't be getting in my way this time!
1. How did you get down here?
Calo Nord: You underestimate me; there's other ways down here besides the Republic subs. A small vessel with the right weapons can blast a path right through those firaxian sharks. Once I got down to the ocean floor all I had to do was come here and wait. I knew you'd come back this way eventually.
1. Hold on, Calo… maybe we can work out a deal here.

Genoharadan
After Calo Nord has been encountered and killed, and a second Star Map has been acquired, a green Twi'lek male named Senni Vek can approach and speak to you in one of the following locations:
Senni Vek: Forgive me for the intrusion, human. My name is Senni Vek. I believe you dropped this datapad and I wish to return it to you.
1. I didn't drop anything.
Senni Vek: I'm certain you did, human. Please, take the datapad. It's yours, I'm sure.
2. I'm sorry, there must be some mistake.
Senni Vek: There is no mistake, human. This datapad is yours and yours alone. Please, take it.
3. What is this, some kind of con game?
Senni Vek: No, this is no game. I simply saw you drop this datapad and I wish to give it back to you.
4. I don't want it.
Senni Vek: Are you certain, human? Please, take the datapad.
2. No. It's not mine. I won't take it.
Points Gained: -2 3. I'll beat you to death with that datapad if you don't go away right now!
Senni Vek: Very well, human. I will keep the datapad and I will leave. Goodbye, human.
Otherwise:
4. Uh... thanks.
1. Fine. Give me the stupid datapad!
Senni Vek: My pleasure, human. You should examine it to make sure it is not broken. Goodbye, human.
Genoharadan A Twi'lek named Senni Vek has given you a datapad he claimed you dropped. On the datapad is a cryptic message: The Genoharadan say to see Hulas on Manaan. Come alone or not at all.
