I do the quest 4 times thoses last days, and I can say that this quest is bugged.
Because the walking speed of the commander, because of the way that distance is calculated (moutains seems IMPOSSIBLE to climb with the commander, and if you try to avoid montain, you will fail because of the time it takes).
A very nice post here

PLEASE, FIX THIS ASAP
Because 12 weeks to retry is TOO long

Suck it up, there's nothing wrong with the setup. I took 5 people with me late last week after the CU and we had to pick up the commander from Pi base it was 3k from the village. The sith attacked us several times along the way and my team helped pick the sith from me as I continued to walk towards the village around any red cons. It's not supposed to be easy.. it's supposed to be a challange it's one of the most challanging phases.
Get a good group and get to it.

You were the lucky ones then if you managed to find a code for one of the 3000m bases. Go back and try it again with a base further away than around 3000m and see how you get along then.
The last time this phase came around it was possible to do the mission leaving from any of the bases on the planet (although the 9000m ones were definately "challenging")
Now it's physically impossible to get the commander back from any of the 22 bases further away than about 3000m.
It's now a reported bug in the Force Sensitive Issues thread at the top of the page so we need to do a little more than "suck it up".
Just be grateful you were lucky enough to loot a shield code close enough to the village to allow you to do it - some of us have been trying for over a week now to loot a code suitable.

Technically it's listed under issues not bugs. It's still completable.

I had the same issue, this is getting real old fast. Difficult is fine, but if you can't walk at the commander's pace without time expiring it's impossible. All other aspects are no big deal, I only needed my partner to lead the thugs away so I could walk the commander out of the base, I can solo the rest. This is not about difficulty, but a game bug.

There is no problem fighting sith, NS, rancors, ... on the way.
The problem is speed related. The guy is really to slow, and there is bugs for the distance calc when climbing, and the guy run back to it's base. You have to run to catch him again.
Real problems are :
o This guy is too slow, making impossible to come back from far bases
o There is a REAL problem in the distance calc, making REALLY hard to clim moutains
Oh, and I agree, this is a real quest ! Funny, quite hard and takes some time to do .. in one word, a real quest and I'll like to see more like this one (better than killing 50 siths, heh) IF THEY FIXES PROBLEMS !

There are a number of bugs/issues with this mission...
One "issue" is most definetly the speed/distance calculationsof the commander...I tooka base at just over6000k, and taking the most direct route, he died at just over 4K from the village. Of course it took us over 10 mins to get there because the commander is definetly in no rush (and quite honestly, I don't blame him, but still...)...I had a buddy with me that completed the mission and he said that the commander moved alot faster than that for him; this was pre-CU, mid april.
Second bug is turrets...when you first approach the turrets, they attack, but don't do damage, which is fine for the most part...but there is an exploit where you can have someone get close enough, but not attack it, so it tracks him, then you take out the turret with no danger to either of you.
And of course the other exploit is that many people can get through the back of the wall , avoiding the sith in front...once they are in and capture the commander, then a buddy just has to aggro all of them and lure them away...not much of a challenge is it?
I'm going to see if I can find a key for a mission closer to the village and hope that there are not many hills between me and the village...*shrug*
*Grumble* scratch that..looks like there was a phase shift on my server today...Nice waste of time...

Most of you guys are overlooking the many posts about the commanders premature death (happened to me) as well as the bug where the commander gives no rewards for completeling it.
This does need to be fixed.
