Rescue Operation


 * Level: 42
 * Reward: 25920 XP

You are asked to meet with Agent Taarna in Nashal who asks you to go investigate a starship chrash outside of Nashal.

This is the beginning of a creepy but lengthy quest which is not suited for those who suffer from arachnophobia... or those who tend to get bored quickly.

Locating the crash site
You are given the waypoint for the crash site by Taarna. When you arrive, you'll find it crawling with Brood I Aurek Arachne and Brood I Arachne.

Looking for clues
Upon arrival you will be asked to search the crash site for clues as to the whereabouts of the crew. Find the following two items in the order given below:


 * Crewmember's Datapad (/way 7306 7537)
 * Scientific Journal (/way 7308 7554)

The items are placed in the middle of all the creatures, which are pretty agro, so be prepared for a fight.

Kill the creatures
When you have found the items, Taarna will send you a message asking you to clear the area of creatures. You will have to kill six Brood I Aurek Arachnae and twelve Brood I Arachnae.

The creatures are pretty much lumped together, and the very quickly gang up on you. However, there are some that are crawling the hillsides which are possible to shoot without the others noticing it. A suggested strategy is to take them out one at the time, sniping them initially with a rifle to draw them away from the rest of the flock. When they atart chasing you, quickly change to a powerful carbine and fire at them while running away from them. This is particularly effective against the Aureks which are incapable of ranged combat.
