Talk to Lieutenant Varias[]
Lieutenant Varias
Jornel Savas send you to contact his superior Lieutenant Varias in the CorSec Camp, which is the first room you will reach once inside the caves. Varias will ask you for your help in putting an end to the threat that the Corellia Droid Factory represents.
Conversation with Lieutenant Varias[]
Lieutenant Varias: You are the one Jornel mentioned? We could certainly use all the help we can get.
PC: So what can you tell me?
Lieutenant Varias: If you are here to help I'm glad to see you. If not you are in the wrong place.
PC: What's going on here?
Lieutenant Varias: It all started when CorSec received reports of Clone War droids in the area. It didn't make much sense but we were dispatched from Coronet to investigate.
PC: So what did you find?
Lieutenant Varias: It turned out that the cave here contains an old, fully automated droid factory. It must have been here since the Clone Wars, possibly built in preparation for a possible invasion of Corellia.
PC: How could a droid factory possibly end up here?
Lieutenant Varias: My guess is that it was built covertly. That way droids from here could be used to cause chaos on the ground while the bulk of their forces engaged the planetary defenses from space. However, during the Clone Wars, the droid army decided to bypass Corellia when they invaded the core worlds. Instead they struck directly at Coruscant. The invasion never happened so the factory was never activated, that is until now.
PC: So why did the factory suddenly activate itself after all these years?
Lieutenant Varias: Your guess is as good as mine. I'd love to find out but dealing with the threat of the factory is the first priority.
PC: Why not call in more forces to deal with the droids?
Lieutenant Varias: The planetary government wants to get this resolved quietly. They are worried that if word got out that we're having issues with armed combat droids, the Imperial forces would use it as a reason to deploy a large number of troops. This could result in the Empire taking a much greater level of control of the planet.
PC: So what do you need me to do?
Lieutenant Varias: The first thing I need is for you to help me locate a group of men we initially sent into the cave to scout out the place. After their initial transmissions, we lost all contact. The patrol was led by an experienced officer, Sergeant Hirka. I want you to locate them, alive or dead and report back to me with what you find. Also you should talk to Druno Kerner and Sergeant Mener. They will have other tasks you might be interested in.
PC: Ok, I'll see what I can do.
Lieutenant Varias: Thank you.
