Editing Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic/Starboard Section

{{Header Nav|game=Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic}}
In the second part of the tutorial you can be prompted to use the skills {{s|Skills|Stealth}}, {{s|Skills|Repair}} and {{s|Skills|Computer Use}} to help make your way through the Sith to the escape pods, and gain more [[../Experience|experience]].

Although Carth continues to communicate with you, you're otherwise alone and from now on you can be killed, so save game just in case.

{{KotOR/Header|Endar Spire Starboard Section|Map of the starboard section of the Endar Spire|map}}

{| {{prettytable}}
{{KotOR/Dialog|Carth||This is Carth Onasi on your personal communicator. I'm tracking your position through the Endar Spire's life support systems. Bastila's escape pod is away – you're the last surviving crew member of the Endar Spire! I can't wait for you much longer; you have to get to the escape pods!}}
|}

If you didn't spend any points in {{s|Skills|Stealth}} at [[../Character generation|character generation]], then when you go south and around the corner to the west, you'll need to run past or kill the Sith trooper guarding the intersection ahead:

{{KotOR/NPC|no
|Name=Sith Trooper
|Class=Soldier
|Level=3
|Awareness=0

|Strength=10
|STR=0
|Dexterity=3
|DEX=-4

{{KotOR/Item|Melee weapons|Short Sword}}

|Feats=
{{KotOR/Weapon|Proficiency|Blaster Rifle}}
{{KotOR/Weapon|Proficiency|Melee Weapons}}
}}

As with the Sith in the [[../Command Module/]], all those in the starboard section equip special Blaster Rifles with Damage: Energy, 1, Damage Bonus: Energy, +1 and Attack Modifier: -5 which don't apply more damage on a [[../Combat#Critical hit|critical hit]]. However, their melee weapons are now much more accurate and damaging.

{| {{prettytable}}
{{KotOR/XP|Kill|#=1|Killed Sith Trooper}}
|}

==Stealth==
If you ''did'' spend points in {{s|Skills|Stealth}} at [[../Character generation|character generation]], you'll have a {{s|Belts|Stealth Field Generator}} and Carth can tell you how to use it:

{| {{prettytable}}
{{KotOR/Dialog|Carth||But be careful. There's a Sith patrol just down the corridor. Use your STEALTH skill to sneak past him.}}
|}

{{KotOR/Hide}}

{| {{prettytable|style=table-layout:fixed}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||2.|How do I use my STEALTH skill?}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||2.|Can you repeat that?}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog|Carth||First, make sure you have a stealth field generator equipped on your belt. You can't use your stealth skill without one. Use the mouse and click on the Stealth button to activate it. The generator will wrap you in a cloaking effect so you can sneak past the Sith. Just be careful you don't get too close or he might notice someone's there.|C=2}}
|}

{| {{prettytable}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||1.|Okay.}}
|}

|}

You should save game before turning the corner, because although the next three Sith you encounter all have {{s|Skills|Awareness}} rank 0, even a {{s|Classes|Scoundrel}} with 18 {{s|Attributes|Dexterity}} can only have maximum Stealth rank 9 at this point, which isn't guaranteed to escape detection; if you don't have Stealth rank > 0 (8 Dexterity), you can't escape detection at all.

Fortunately explosions at the end of the corridor to the west will draw the Sith trooper away, allowing you to get to the intersection he was guarding and go down the south corridor while he's at a distance with his back turned. You can come back and kill him later if you like (although he'll disappear if you don't do so before opening the door to the [[../Starboard Section#Escape Pods|escape pods]]).

Around the corner of the south corridor to the west is a door, beyond which are two Sith soldiers in a room. If you open the door and you're able to sneak past them, you'll gain [[../Experience|experience]].

{| {{prettytable}}
{{KotOR/XP|Act|#=300|Sneaked past Sith Trooper and Sith Soldiers}}
|}

It's advisable to kill them before trying to open the door at the west end of the room:

{{KotOR/NPC
|Name=Sith Soldier
|Model=Sith Trooper
|Class=Soldier
|Level=1
|Awareness=0

|Strength=10
|STR=0
|Dexterity=3
|DEX=-4

|Intelligence=10
|INT=0
|Wisdom=10
|WIS=0
|Charisma=10
|CHA=0

|Vitality=15
|Defense=6
|Fortitude=2
|Reflex=-4
|Will=0

|RA1=-8
|RD1=1,+1
|RT1=19-20,x1

|MA1=1
|MD1=1-6
|MT1=20-20,x2

|Items and abilities=
{{KotOR/Item|Blaster rifles|Blaster Rifle}}+
{{KotOR/Item|Melee weapons|Short Sword}}

|Feats=
{{KotOR/Weapon|Proficiency|Blaster Rifle}}
{{KotOR/Weapon|Proficiency|Melee Weapons}}
}}

{| {{prettytable}}
{{KotOR/XP|Kill|#=1|Killed Sith Soldier (2)}}
|}

Upon doing so, Carth gives you a warning:

{| {{prettytable}}
{{KotOR/Dialog|Carth||Be careful! There's a whole squad of Sith Troopers on the other side of that door! You need to find some way to thin their numbers. You could reprogram the damaged assault droid to help you, if you have enough repair [[../Utility items#Parts|parts]]. Or you could use [[../Utility items#Computer Spike|computer spikes]] to slice into the terminal and use the Endar Spire's security systems against the Sith.}}
|}

A third option is to use {{s|Skills|Security}} to unlock the door:

{{KotOR/Lock|Unlock|Door|28 (8)}}

However, since it has [[../Difficulty Classes|DC]] 28 this is only possible for a Scoundrel with Security rank 8 or more (rank 4-5 and 16-18 {{s|Attributes|Wisdom}}) without using a {{s|Utility items|Security Spike}} (Xbox only). The door in the transport module beyond will remain locked until all Sith troopers within are dead, so you can't sneak past them using Stealth.

To assist with the first two options, search the footlocker against the north wall to the right of your entrance:

{| {{prettytable}}
{{KotOR/Container|Footlocker|
* Computer Spikes (5)
* Parts (7)}}
|}

If you got the parts from the parts pile in the [[../Command Module/]], you now have everything you need to fully pursue either or both of these options, regardless of your {{s|Skills|Repair}} and {{s|Skills|Computer Use}} skill ranks.

==Repair==
The damaged assault droid to which Carth referred is standing in the northwest corner to the right of the locked door. Using it can give you a {{s|Skills|Repair}} tutorial and allow you to reactivate it:

{| {{prettytable}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||Combat Droid:|This droid is damage and inactive.}}
|}

{{KotOR/Hide}}

{| {{prettytable|style=table-layout:fixed}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||3.|Leave it alone.}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||Combat Droid:|You leave the droid alone for now.}}
|}

You can activate its shields and engage its patrol mode if you have sufficient {{s|Utility items|Parts}}, but the former isn't necessary since the droid will activate its shields itself upon engaging in combat, and even on [[../Gameplay#Combat Difficulty|Difficult]] its Defense and Vitality are so high it can kill all Sith troopers in the transport module beyond single-handed, each with one hit.

{{KotOR/Hide}}

|}

The patrol takes it into the transport module, opening the door for you and engaging the Sith troopers beyond. While you receive XP for those killed by the combat droid, this is '''not''' recorded in {{s|Gameplay|Feedback}}.

==Computer Use==
The terminal to which Carth referred is standing in the southwest corner to the left of the locked door. Using it can give you a {{s|Skills|Computer Use}} tutorial and allow you to view the starboard transport module, and overload its power conduit if you have sufficient {{s|Utility items|Computer Spike}}s:

{| {{prettytable}}

|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||2.|View starboard transport module.}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||2.|Camera Feed}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Security Panel:|SYSTEM OVERRIDE ACCEPTED<br>ENTER COMMAND|C=2}}
|}

The camera feed allows you to see the four Sith troopers led by a Sith heavy trooper in the transport module beyond.

{| {{prettytable|style=table-layout:fixed}}
{{KotOR/Skill|Computer Use|3.|[Computer] Overload power conduit. (5 spike(s))|C=2}}

|}

{| {{prettytable}}
{{KotOR/XP|Act|#=150|Overloaded power conduit}}
|}

The camera feed now allows you to watch as the overloaded power conduit electrocutes all of them! You'll also receive XP for all those killed, and this ''is'' recorded in {{s|Gameplay|Feedback}}.

The door will now be unlocked. Should you opt to unlock the door yourself or activate the combat droid and engage its patrol mode and support it instead, you'll still be confronted by four of the following:

{{KotOR/NPC|no
|Name=Sith Trooper
|Class=Soldier
|Level=3
|Awareness=3
|Treat Injury=0

|Strength=10
|STR=0
|Dexterity=12

|CON=0
|Intelligence=10
|INT=0

|WIS=0
|Charisma=10
|CHA=0

|Vitality=25
|Defense=16
|Fortitude=3

|RA1=-1
|RD1=1,+1
|RT1=19-20,x1

|MA1=3
|MD1=1-12
|MT1=20-20,x2

|Items and abilities=
{{KotOR/Item|Blaster rifles|Blaster Rifle}}+
{{KotOR/Item|Melee weapons|Long Sword}}

|Feats=
{{KotOR/Weapon|Proficiency|Blaster Rifle}}
{{KotOR/Weapon|Proficiency|Melee Weapons}}
}}

The two flanking the Sith heavy trooper each have a {{s|Medical items|Medpac}} in their inventory, which they'll use when reduced to less than 50% Vitality.

{{KotOR/NPC|no
|Name=Sith Heavy Trooper
|Class=Soldier
|Level=3
|Awareness=3

|Strength=10
|STR=0
|Dexterity=12
|DEX=+1

|Intelligence=10
|INT=0

|WIS=0
|Charisma=10
|CHA=0

|Vitality=25
|Defense=16
|Fortitude=3
|Reflex=2
|Will=1

|RA1=-1
|RD1=1,+1
|RT1=19-20,x1

|MA1=3
|MD1=1-10,+1
|MT1=19-20,x2

|Items and abilities=
{{KotOR/Item|Blaster rifles|Blaster Rifle}}+
{{KotOR/Item|Blaster pistols|Ion Blaster}}

|Feats=
{{KotOR/Weapon|Proficiency|Blaster Pistol}}
{{KotOR/Weapon|Proficiency|Blaster Rifle}}
{{KotOR/Weapon|Proficiency|Melee Weapons}}
}}

The two closest Sith troopers are too far away from the others to make using {{s|Grenades|Frag Grenade}}s on them particularly effective, but throwing two at the Sith heavy trooper will also damage the two Sith troopers flanking him, and there's ~59% chance of killing all three outright (even in the event of two successful saves, each will be reduced from 25 to 5 Vitality). You cannot open the door in the west wall until all have been killed.

{| {{prettytable}}

|}

==Escape Pods==
Now open the door to the escape pods:

{| {{prettytable|style=table-layout:fixed}}
{{KotOR/Dialog|Carth||You made it just in time! There's only one active escape pod left. Come on, we can hide out on the planet below!|C=2}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||1.|Who are you?}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||2.|How do I know I can trust you?}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog|Carth||I'm a soldier with the Republic, like you. We’re the last two crew members left on the Endar Spire. Bastila's escape pod's already gone, so there's no reason for us to stick around here and get shot by the Sith. Now come on – there'll be time for questions later!|C=2}}
|-
{{KotOR/XP|Act|#=250|Got to the escape pods|C=2}}
|}

The last escape pod is the second on the left in the south wall:

{| {{prettytable|style=table-layout:fixed}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||Escape Pod:|[This is the last escape pod and your only hope of survival.]|C=2}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||1.|[Use the escape pod.]}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||2.|[Step away from the escape pod.]}}
|}

After using the escape pod, a cutscene plays of the final destruction of the Endar Spire as you hurtle through the atmosphere to crash-land in the ecumenopolis of Taris.

{| {{prettytable}}
{{KotOR/Journal|Attack on the Endar Spire|You and Carth escaped the Endar Spire on the last remaining pod, jettisoning mere moments before the doomed ship is utterly destroyed.}}
