Alright, haven't seen this one yet. Please let me know your thoughts.
Took this quest with my partner, Kristie. I took the quest to drop the shield, she took the quest to capture the commander, 3 days ago. We got some shield remotes, and found one we could pull off, or so we thought.
After figuring out how to drop the shield (too much electronic interference in front of the gate, had to be behind it, or near a droid or something), the thugs spawn. We get to a safe distance, and I go in to pull the thugs one at a time. I pull two of them, but a separate group spawns behind us, snipers us and we both die. Kristie is a master doctor, so she clones, comes back and rezzes me. Meanwhile, I get a message after she clones, saying I failed to drop the shield and now the only way to complete the mission is if *I* capture the commander and drag him back to the Village. That's odd, but I understand it.
So we kill 5 thugs, incapped a couple times while doing it but never died, and nobody gets the message that the commander has spawned. We figure we miscounted, so I pull a sixth. In the process of killing him, I get a message that says the commander died from ingesting biotoxins, and I have to try this again at a different camp. Out of pure frustration, we waited for the thugs to despawn, rushed the gate when they did, knocked it down, knocked down the second, took out the antenna, and of course there was no commander. The Sith that spawned behind us followed us in, and between the 10 of them made short work of us.
What I don't get is, the commander never spawned, and the thugs never despawned after we killed 5 of them. Meanwhile, Kristie never got a single message about anything this whole time. Anyone have any ideas? This quest has been frustrating to many people, I guess now I can add myself to that list. Thanks for your feedback.

i dont have a clue what happened to you m8, but one thing i can tell you is that the sith thugs dont despawn once you kill 5 of them. once you kill 5 of them they continue spawning as normal, its just that the commander spawns after you kill the 5th one, then you have to time your run into the base or you will get nailed by sith.

Well, that clears up a little...thanks for the reply, Paulo. 
At least now I know a bit more what to expect. But from what I've read, others have gotten messages that the commander has spawned. Any ideas? Thanks again!

i dont remember getting a message, but thats cuz i wasnt watching for one. i know you get a message after killing each of the 5 sith saying how many more you need to kill, but didnt noyice what happened after the 5th. i presume there must be one saying something about killing the 5th and you have none left to kill but i couldnt tell you what it says exactly.

Here's the way to get it done:
1. Take the turrets outside down
2. Take down the shield
3.Very quickly (within 30 secs) take out the front gate, turret inside, and back gate inside.
4. After you have gotten inside you can sit inside the tent area and nothing will agro you. YOU ARE SAFE IN THIS AREA.
5. If you have a ranged prof with you in group, have him bring the sith inside 1 at a time if possible by shooting at 1 while he is not surrounded by a ton of sith thugs. If you have just melee prof in group it is a bit harder but it can still be done bymaking them aggro you carefully.Sit inside the tent arena area and kill the thug. Do this 5 times.
6. Capture the commander
7. Wait 1 minute for the thugs to de-spawn and then head for the village. Get there in 1 hour or else you fail.
All done

Thanks again for the info, Paulo. Zimi, that's exactly what I needed...a clear and simple walkthrough. Thank you very much!
Also, I think I know what happened with the commander. We both died after I took down the shield, but before we killed the first thug. The commander spawned at that point, even though neither of us got a message. I read in another thread that when a party member dies with the quest, the commander spawns instantly. It took us an hour to kill those 5 Sith, which it turns out we didn't even need to do. So, it appears that it's one hour from when the commander spawns, roughly, before he dies - not from when you capture him, even though that's when you get the message that he took the biotoxins.
Either that, or there's a set amount of time in which the hour starts after he spawns, even if you don't capture him, and I miscalculated the amount of time it took us to kill the 5 Sith. In any case, thanks to both of you!
