Notable quotes
"The blasters Skavak stole in your ship belong to Rogun the Butcher. As employers go, he's not the most forgiving.''"

"''He's killed enough people to fill a convoy of bulk freighters, and now we've crossed him. Rogun bought those blasters to protect his business from separatists. When he finds out what's happened, guess who dies first? The only way we're getting out of this alive is finding Skavak, your ship and those stolen blasters"

- Viidu

"I've got an idea where to start looking for Skavak. There's a guy named Reki who's an expert on separatists. Problem is, Reki's stuck behind a Republic blockade. Troops have his village surrounded while they "contain" the separatists there.''"

"''Separatists have sympathizers in every village, helping them hold towns they take over. Traitors. I'm friendly with the Republic commander in charge of he blockade. I can get you in and out of the village. But you'll have to earn that free pass by taking out a few separatists to prove your loyalty. You up for that?"

- Viidu

"Reki's village is running out of basic supplies thanks to the Republic blockade. Things are getting desperate in there. I'll put together a survival kit. You smuggle it to Reki, and he'll tell you a way to find Skavak."
