Borvo the Hutt questline (pre-NGE)

This article relates to an element of Star Wars Galaxies prior to the New Game Enhancements. It is no longer accurate and remains for historical purposes only.

This questline starts by talking to Borvo the Hutt in Moenia Cantina (4875 -4591) on Naboo. This questline is directly followed by the Huff Darklighter questline.

This questline was revamped with the release of the New Game Enhancements.

Recommended combat levels: 5 and higher

Mission 1, "The Rescue"[]

Borvo the Hutt: You wanna talk to me, you talk to my guards. I don't pay them to let people I don't know bother me.

Conversation with Borvo The Hutt's Guard[]

Borvo The Hutt's Guard: How ya doin'? So you wanna talk with Borvo? Well, he's a busy Hutt and he don't know you. Got it? Heyyyyy... you might be able to help, though. Look, we've got a situation, you see? We need you to go rescue one of our guys before he gets caught. You do that for us, then maybe I'll tell Borvo that you're clean. So, you wanna help?
PC: What's this 'situation'?
Borvo The Hutt's Guard: Well, you see, Borvo had one of his biggest gun sales in a long time to some guys on Corellia. It turns out it was a setup by the CorSec cops. Most of our guys are either dead or in jail now, except for Dagorel, Borvo's right hand guy. He managed to escape, but he's been shot, so he can't make it back here on his own. That's where you come in.
PC: Sure, I'll help.
Borvo The Hutt's Guard: Okay, look... Dagorel's been shot, so he's lost a lot of fluid. Get out there and lend him a hand while you guys limp back here. Make sure the police don't catch sight of you. And if you lead security back here... well, Borvo's gonna be a lot angrier than he already is, got it?

The guard informs you that Borvo recently had one of his biggest gun sales in a while, but it was a setup. Everyone else got arrested, but Dagorel got away (though wounded). He wants you to get him and bring him back.
With the location in hand, head out to the wilderness and find Dagorel, escorting him back to the Guard for your reward. This was a simple escort mission with no spawned opposition.

Dagorel: I thought I gave you police the slip. Oh well. I guess you caught me.

Dagorel: Borvo sent you? You a new guy? No time for that, I guess. Well, then let's get out of here before the police follow my trail of blood.

Conversation with Borvo The Hutt's Guard[]

Borvo The Hutt's Guard: Good, you got him back safely. We'll get him patched up right now. In the meantime, stick around, got it? Borvo's gonna find out what went down at that sale, and he may need you to do something else for us. Here's a little something to show you our thanks.

No reward was received for completion of this mission.

Mission 2, "Revenge"[]

Reward: Corsec Badge

Conversation with Borvo The Hutt's Guard[]

Borvo The Hutt's Guard: Hey, you wanna 'nother job? Dagorel has said that the gun deal was a big setup. Get this, he said it was an inside job, too. It seems that Frangee, one of our guys, was some undercover police guy. Dagorel says that Frangee is high-tailing it off planet right now, even as we're yappin'. You wanna make sure he never makes it?
PC: How long was Frangee working for Borvo?
Borvo The Hutt's Guard: Frangee was here even longer than me! He's the one who showed me the ropes around this place. He was one of Borvo's most trusted guys! To think, he was nothing but a low-down, rotten, womprat snitch! AARGGG!!!! Wait a minute.... you're not a cop, are you? You know what... you take out Frangee and I'll know you ain't one. Got it?
PC: I hate a snitch. I'll do it for free.
Borvo The Hutt's Guard: Yeah, I told Borvo you'd do it. Get out there and make sure that Frangee doesn't make it to his ship. Make sure it hurts, too. If it weren't for all the cops around right now, I'd do it myself. Oh yeah, while you're at it, bring back everything he's got on him in case he's got some more evidence on us.

With Dagorel patched up, he informed Borvo that it was an inside job, lead by Frangee, one of Borvo's most trusted men. He's trying to get off planet even now, and the Guard wants you to take him out before he leaves.
Go to the location you're given and find Frangee (CL4). No other opposition spawned. Be sure to loot him for the ledger.

Frangee: Borvo sent you, right? I also take it you're going to resist arrest as well. Sorry it has to be this way.

Return to the Guard for your reward.

Conversation with Borvo The Hutt's Guard[]

Borvo The Hutt's Guard: So, did he scream? Serves him right. So, these are the records he was keeping on us, huh? Ahhh... look here... his badge. Hey. Heeeeyyyy.... I've got an idea here.... Yeahhhh, this'll be sweet. Take this badge, and you head to Corellia. According to this, it seems that Frangee was going to report back to his Captain at Corsec. I think he'll still make it. Isn't that right, Detective Niksel?

When you return, the Guard will give you a CorSec badge, and tell you to use it. He wants you to go to Coronet on Corellia, and speak with "Frangee's" CorSec Captain (Thale Dustrunner), who will think that you are Officer Niskel.

Mission 3, "My name is... Niksel Frangee"[]

Rewards: 25 Faction (CorSec)

Conversation with Thale Dustrunner[]

Thale Dustrunner: Ah, there you are. Feels good to wear the badge again, doesn't it, Niksel? How long has it been for you undercover? 6 years now, if I read the report correctly? Well, I'm glad to finally meet you in person. Let's cut the banter and get this case closed for you. I'll send a message over to Aldalad so that he can arrange a pickup point.
PC: Aldalad, yes... so... what's he been up to lately?
Thale Dustrunner: The same dang thing he was doing when you were 'Frangee'. After you got him to agree to testify against his company for buying all those illegal weapons, he's been holed up. Now that you're back, he'll come into the station, but only with you escorting him here, remember? Ahhhh... you're still in 'role'. Got it now. So, you ready?
PC: Uhh.. yeah, sounds good. I'll go pick him up.
Thale Dustrunner: Okay, you head out to meet him, then bring him back. Since you're the only one who would be able to recognize Borvo's crew, keep your eyes open. Aldalad is risking a lot to testify against that Hutt, and I don't want to see him take a hit. Bring him my way so I can send him down to HQ where it will be safer.

Now that you're pretending to be Officer Niskel, Thale Dustrunner (Corsec Captain) wants you to bring in Aldalad, another one of Borvo's men who turned. Aldalad wants to testify against Borvo.
Go to the location you're given by Thale, and take care of the traitor Aldalad (CL4). Return to Thale for your reward.

Aldalad: Wait a second... you're not Frangee! Oh no! You're a hit man!!!

Conversation with Thale Dustrunner[]

Thale Dustrunner: He was dead when you got there!? Blast it! Without him, we barely have a case against Borvo. *Sigh* Well, let me think. Maerzin is about to land with all of the guns and money we recovered from that bust. I'll have to let him know to land elsewhere, just to be on the safe side. With that evidence, we may still have a case. Check back with me.

Mission 4, "The Evidence"[]

Reward: Borvo's Money, 50 Faction (CorSec)

Conversation with Thale Dustrunner[]

Thale Dustrunner: Okay, our friend Maerzen has landed in a remote location to throw off Borvo's hitman. Go out there and pickup the evidence he uncovered, then bring it back to me. I'll get it over to HQ. Again, since you're the only person who knows what all of Borvo's men look like, you're the only one we can trust to this. Are you ready?
PC: What evidence was Lt. Maerzen able to recover?
Thale Dustrunner: Detective Maerzen, not Lt. Maerzen. Ah... still playing the role, eh? Well, this is serious business and we have no time for that now. Maerzen has some of the weapons and money we raided during the deal you set up. For now, you'll just need to pick up the money and bring it back here, so I can get it to HQ. Got all that?
PC: I'm ready, Captain.
Thale Dustrunner: Good. He's landed a ways from here, so you'll have a bit of a hike. Fortunately since you've been in contact with him, he'll recognize you on sight, so you don't have to worry about using your codewords. Once you get the evidence, bring it back right away.

With Aldalad taken out of the picture, there's not much of a case against Borvo left. However Thale still has one person who might be able to take down the Hutt, named Maerzen. He is bringing in the evidence from the bust. Thale wants you to go get the evidence from the gun shipment.
With location in hand, head out to find Maerzen (CL4) and eliminate him. Loot the locked briefcase and return to Thale Dustrunner.

Maerzen: Niksel, is that you? Huh?? Hey... Oh no! What have you done to Niksel!!?

Conversation with Thale Dustrunner[]

Thale Dustrunner: Okay, let me check this. Yep... looks like it's all here. Whoa... that is one heck of a lot of money. Okay, Detective, we have a change in plans. Maerzen isn't responding back to any calls, and I feel that Borvo's guy got to him after you did. I'm going to take care of this guy once and for all. In the meantime, you need to get this money back to HQ. Whatever you do, don't let Borvo get his hands on it!!!

Captain Dustrunner give you the money from gun shipment bust. Head back to Moenia on Naboo, and give the money to Borvo the Hutt (Drag and drop the "Borvo's Money" to him).

Mission 5, "The Imperials are here"[]

Rewards: 100 credits

Conversation with Borvo the Hutt[]

Borvo the Hutt: Well, well... you've helped out old Borvo and brought back his money, have you? You've got moxy, kid, and I like that. Not too smart, but bold. *Ho ho ho* You've riled up that officer a good one, though. He has the Imperials tracking you down, leading them here. You'll show some respect and clean up your mess, isn't that right?
PC: What mess are we talking about here?
Borvo the Hutt: Heh. As if you didn't know the CorSec Captain called on Imperial help to take care of you. It seems I've got a hitman running around on Corellia, ain't that right? I've made this easier for you by having their assault shuttle shot down out of the sky. I even made it look like the Rebels took it out. But that's a different story. Ready to leave?
PC: You know I will, Borvo.
Borvo the Hutt: Good. I knew you wouldn't disappoint me. I like you kid. Now, go out there and take out those Imperials before they even get a sniff of these swamps. But hey... you already knew that, didn't you?

Borvo has informed you that Thale isn't too happy that you crossed him, and has brought in Imperial help to track you down. Despite shooting down a shuttle of them for you, there's still a few more to take care of. Borvo wants you to clean up your mess.
Head to the location that Borvo has given you, and take out the thug. Return to Borvo for your reward.

Thug: You fit the description! You're under arrest!

Conversation with Borvo the Hutt[]

Borvo the Hutt: *Ho ho ho* You took them out all by yourself, heh? You've got the stuff I'm looking for, kid. You brought me my money, you salvaged the gun deal, got rid of witnesses, and helped to get the cops off my back.... That puts a big smile on my face. Good job, kid. You're what I'm looking for.

Mission 6, "You're what im looking for"[]

Reward: Tusken King's Rifle

Conversation with Borvo the Hutt[]

Borvo the Hutt: Look, kid, I like you, but I can't have you on my payroll with the police after you. I still have something I can use you for, though. I've had my main man, Dagorel, look into who sent Frangee to us. It seems it's one of my old partners, who retired from this business a bit back. I need you to make sure he has a permanent retirement. Understand?
PC: You think your old partner set you up?
Borvo the Hutt: I don't want to believe it myself, but it's the sad truth. You work with a guy doing a little of this and a little of that, then *BAM*, he turns on you. What happened to respect? All I ask is for a little respect, but do I get it? No. You, on the other hand, you've shown me respect. Let him see what happens when people don't respect me, got it?
PC: Yeah, I think I know what you mean.
Borvo the Hutt: Yeah, I thought you would. I've asked him to meet me so we can discuss a new venture I'm getting into. Instead of me meeting him, why don't you introduce him to the business end of your weapon, huh? Do me right, kid, and I might have a little special something for you as a going away present. Hey, while you're at it, get his necklace I gave him when he 'retired'. There's no need for him to have that anymore.

Borvo has been talking with Dagorel, and they have figured that the one who recommended Frangee to them was one of Borvo's old partners. Borvo wants you to show him the business end of your weapon, and collect the necklace Borvo gave him as a retirement present.
Go to the location that Borvo gets you and take care of his the thug (CL4). Loot his body to get the Precious Keep-Sakes, then return for your reward.

Thug: Oh no.... he found out, didn't he? Well, I'm not going out without a fight!

Conversation with Borvo the Hutt[]

Borvo the Hutt: *Crushes the necklace* I can't believe he double-crossed me. Either way, you've done me good, kid. I like that, but I can't hire you any longer. In addition to selling guns to interested parties, I keep a few classics for myself. I want you to have an old gun settlers used on Tatooine a long time ago. I got this from my pal, Jabba. Look, keep in touch kid, okay?

You obtain the Tusken King's Rifle required to start the Darklighter's Estate questline on Tatooine.
