Description

There are four main air filter stations for the mining facility. Foreman Chivos tells you that they are all located to the south of the mining facility. Since the automated system is offline the stations need to be activated manually. It would appear that the mining facility is having more problems than could be seen on the surface.

Recommended combat levels: 75 and higher

The quest begins at a Field Supply Locker after completing Supplies for the Miners.

Replace Air Filters[]

The air filters for the mining facility's air ventilation system have become clogged with debris and need to be replaced. Find each of the ventilation shafts and replace the filters. There are four air filters located to the south of the mining facility.

/way -185 -1613 Airfilter2;
/way -277 -1647 Airfilter3;

Tip: While on this quest, stop at /waypoint -201 -1632 and get SFOR Republic Carbine for Rare Carbine Weapons Mark II collection.

Return to Foreman Chivos[]

Now that the air filters on the ventilation system have been replaced, Foreman Chivos asked that you go see him again. Once you have done this, return to Foreman Chivos.

Conversation with Foreman Chivos[]

Foreman Chivos: Miners restocked...check. Vents nice and clean...check. Good work out there. I knew you were the type of person to get things done. Mensix has need of good people like you. Granted, our company bylaws forbid us to officially hire anyone who isn't a Mustafarian, but we do occasionally hire freelancers.
PC: What does being hired as a freelancer mean?
Foreman Chivos: Just what it implies. When we have issues that need to get done but no one on staff who can do them, we call in one of our freelancers to get it done. We pay per job and usually the compensation is well worth the effort. Would you be interested in something like that?
PC: Yeah, I could use the occasional work.
Foreman Chivos: Whew! I am glad you said that because we have a major problem that needs to be solved immediately. The way you took care of the other jobs makes me sure that you are just the person we need.
PC: What is the job?
Foreman Chivos: It's our reactor. We have been pushing it way too hard lately trying to fill our latest contract. This facility has been running at close to 200 percent capacity for far too long. Anyways, the reactor's power rods have all but decayed, and we have been shutting down secondary systems in order to keep operating at this pace.
PC: So, that is why your facility is having trouble?
Foreman Chivos: Yeah. We were getting by, but the rods have now decayed to the point where there is a threat that the entire facility will shut down. If that happens, we are in big trouble. We are already behind schedule and if we fall further behind it...well it wouldn't be good.
PC: Get some new rods.
Foreman Chivos: We ordered them. The problem is that this facility was built based off of the old Klegger station, which was built during the days of the Old Republic. No one manufactures power rods for technology that old anymore, so we have to get the rods specially made. By the time the rods get here, we will have already been shut down for too long to make up the difference.
PC: I am not sure how I will be able to help speed that up.
Foreman Chivos: You won't have to. A couple of months ago, one of our field crews discovered a wreck on the slopes of the central volcano. This wreck is a large capital cruiser that easily dates back to the Old Republic. We are pretty sure that it used the same power rod system as this facility does. If any of those rods can be found, our engineers are sure they could rig them up to get us through until the new rods can be delivered.
PC: Will those old rods even be any good?
Foreman Chivos: Hey, they made things to last in the old days. If they are still in their core housing, those power rods will be good virtually forever. As long as they survived the crash, they should have more than enough juice left to suit our purpose. Our engineers say they just need four of those rods to keep us in power. So, what do you say? Will you pull us out of the fire?
PC: How do I get to this crash site?
Foreman Chivos: It isn't easy. Like I said, the cruiser was found on the slopes of the central volcano. There is a bridge that connects the volcano to the burning plains, which you will probably have to use unless you have some other way of crossing the lava pools. So how about it?
PC: Yeah, I will see if I can find any.
Foreman Chivos: You have not only my thanks but the company's thanks as well. Look around the wreckage of the crash on the slopes of the central volcano. When our crew was there, they reported seeing a bunch of salvage bandits crawling all over the ship, so watch your back. Those Mustafarians don't work for any company and will do anything to make a buck...including shooting anyone they don't know.
