---[ PHASE 3 ]---
Combat: Capture Enemy Leadership
Villager: Captain Sarguillos (5313,-4161)
FS Branch Unlocked: Combat Prowess: Melee Accuracy
Required Skills: none
Description:
For this quest you are asked to raid an enemy base and capture its Commander, bringing him back to Aurilia for interrogation. There are 25 bases in total, spread out all over Dathomir. Each base is defended by an impassable shield, turrets, and a lot of Sith Shadows.
In order to enter a base you must disable its shields. To do this you need to get a “remote frequency codes” disk. These can be looted off the Sith Shadow patrols within a 250 meter radius around the bases. These patrols are easy to spot, since there is usually a large group of them. In these groups there is usually Sith Shadow pirates (CL??), outlaws (CL??), and thugs (CL??). However, be aware that they will be aggressive towards you if you’ve already accepted the Captain’s mission, regardless of your level compared to theirs.
You will find Sith Shadow outlaws, pirates, and thugs in these patrols, but they’re not the same ones you’ve been fighting in theearlier phases, these Sith Shadows are a lot tougher. Outlaws are CL?? with ~13K Health, pirates are CL?? with ~15K Health, and thugs are CL?? with ~50K Health. Thugs hit hard and can be tough, about equal to some of the lower Corvette mobs, so be careful and be prepared.
Note that you do not have to personally loot these disks, you can also purchase them from other players as well.
Anyway, once you finallyacquire a frequency code bring it back to the Captain and he will make you a “shield generator remote” to disable a specific base’s shields (found in the remote’s name).
So how do you find where the base is that you have the remote for? Well, you can try searching around all of Dathomir until you stumble across the one you’re looking for (obviously not recommended), or you can try looting “a waypoint datapad” off the Sith Shadow base patrols (turn it into the Captain to get a waypoint to a base, which you can then check out to see if it’s the one), or you can simply check the forums for the base locations on your server.
That’s right, “on your server”. The locations of the bases are different on each server and each time the phase comes around, that’s the tricky part about them. All servers have all 25 of the bases, but in different locations. The good news is that there seems to be set locations where the bases can potentially be located, so you at least have an idea where to look. The bad news is that there are more than 25 set locations, so there will be some “trial and error”, but at least it’s better than wandering around aimlessly.
The 25 base names are:
alpha, beta, chi, delta, epsilon, eta, gamma, iota, kappa, lamda, mu, omega, omikron, phy, pi, psi, rho, sigma, tau, theta, xi, ypsylon, zed, zeta, nu
The known set locations so far are:

'---------------------------------------------------------------'
Note: To determine the name of a base just look for the little MSE “surveillance droids” near the base, they will have its name in theirs. For example, “a kappa surveillance droid” would indicate that it’s the “kappa” base.
Note: The closest set locations to Aurilia are (5939,-2030), then (5315,-1145), and then (3456,-1258). I would recommend checking out those locations first to see if there are bases there on your server. If there are then make a note of their name(s) and try to get frequency codes for them.
Okay, so you found the base that you have the remote for, now you have to bring down the shields by activating it. As soon as you do a horde of Sith Shadow thugs will begin spawning right in front of the base. Run away and regroup! You need to kill 5 of these thugs, but I highly recommend that you pull one or two out at a time to do it, the whole group of them will likely kill you within a few seconds.
Note: If you die at any time after deactivating the shields (without a partner or with the shields part of the mission) you will fail the mission and need to start over.
Once you kill the 5 you will get a message that the Commander has spawned in the base. To get to him in the base you’ll have to destroy a couple of gates (and it wouldn’t be a bad idea to destroy those turrets now either). Your best chance at getting into the base is to have somebody draw away the Sith Shadows guards and then go in. You can also wait for them to de-spawn and sneak in then, but they re-spawn fairly quickly and it can get messy.
After you make it to the Commander you need to select “Capture” from his radial menu, once you do he will begin following you. Get clear of the base and then begin heading back to Aurilia.
On the way back small groups of 2-3 Sith Shadow pirates (CL??) willoccasionally try to rescue the Commander. If they get close enough to him he will escape. If this happens you will need to then catch up to him and select “Recapture” from his radial menu. Of course, it's a good idea to defeat the pirates before this can happen.
Be aware that he will eventually take some bio-toxins and die from poisoning. It’s unknown exactly how long you have before this happens, it seems that you have about 1 hour from the time he first spawns or the first time he is captured (not sure which). However, the amount of time seems to be accelerated every time he escapes.
Anyway, once you lead the Commander safely back to the Captain you will complete the task, unlocking the FS branch and receiving your reward(s).
Note that there is also the option to do this quest with a partner for an extra reward. If you decide you want to do it with a partner one of you must pick the option to bring down the shields and the other one must pick the option to capture the Commander. If you do not then you won’t both get credit. The person with the shields mission must bring down the base shields with the remote and then help kill five of the Sith Shadow thugs, all without dying until the Commander is captured. The other person must help kill the five thugs as well, and then capture the Commander and lead him back to the village without dying.
Reward: If you do this quest all by yourself you will receive a special Color Crystal, named Sunrider’s Destiny (aquamarine color). If you do it with a partner you will receive the same special Color Crystal and a Focused Crystal. The latter gives a +900 mind buff that lasts 1 hour and 30 minutes (can be used once every 4 days, unlimited uses). Note that the buff currently doesn't seem to do anything (bugged).

You could have read through the sticky and got the information yourself in the time it took you to keep posting questions here.

When completing this quest, do ONLY two crystals drop?
For example, 8 people in the group all have the mission queued. All 8 people finish the quest. Do all eight people recieve BOTH the mind and sun crystal? Or do ONLY two crystals drop ( one of each) to be given to ONLY two people from that hypothetical 8 man group??
