Great guide!
I just finished this quest and got the Y-8. I had no spawns jump me in Kessel which was nice. The Reb Corvette even passed within 1000m of me while I was mining

Mission 1: Mission to Talus
Flash Harrison, self proclaimed pilot god, wants you to deliver a message to Thom Steele for him.
Go to Dearic Cantina, Talus, to deliver his message. Speak to Thom, get paid 1K for your trouble so far.. He will then give you a mission to fly to Correllia space, to remove some miners…
Once in Correllia Space you will be given a patrol waypoint to go to… and then another…
I killed 3 tier 3 Z-95 headhunters on the 2nd way point. I carried onto the next patrol point, and that was it. Mission Successful, return to Thom Steele in Dearic Cantina, Talus.

Thom Steele Thanks you and gives you a mining laser and cargo hold, and if you want, another mission to mine some rock for him….
Mission 2: Extract 250 units of Siliaceous Asteroid
“An abundance of silicaceous asteroids have entered the corellia system recently, and we’d like a piece of those minerals. Head up there and get us a sample. You can keep whtaever you mine, we’ll only scrape off a bit to test the quality. 250 units should be enough to get a proper sample.”
Equip your newly aquired mining laser and cargo hold, and note which number weapon it is. Fly into space and activate the silicaceous asteroid waypoints. Pick one and head over to it. Start blasting away (using the number key that relates the weapon slot, example, mine was in weapon slot 3, so pressing the number 3 key will fire that weapon) with the mining laser until you get a chunk fly off, chase it down (I target it and hit follow) and blast that, till it splits into even smaller bits, again blast these till its all gone. Have to be quick though, the bits soon fly off into the distance. Rinse and repeat till you get the mission successful message.
Return to Thom Steele, Dearic Cantina, Talus, and he will pay you 2k, and send you off to Kashyyyk to report to Captain Koh of the mining Fleet…
You must empty your cargo hold, by using the radial menu of the ship control device in your datapad, when on the ground. Select Unload Cargo for all the cargo to be transferred to your inventory.
Mission 3: Extract 500 Units of Organometallic Asteroid
Captain Koh is on the 3rd level of the Kachirho city Tree, Kashyyyk.
He will give you a mission to extract 500 units of Organometallic Asteroid in Kashyyyk space…
When you return he rewards you with 5k then asks you to come back in a minute so he can study the sample. When you return he tells you that miners from Lok are stealing ore from the Kashyyyk space, and sends you on another mission. He also gives you a larger capacity cargo hold. Empty your carg, and equip the new one.
Mission 4: Extract 750 units of Obsidian Asteroid
The next mission is to extract 750 units of Obsidian from Lok…
Same Process, get to Lok, Activate the Waypoints for the Osidian, and go to the nearest one, and start mining it to bits….
Mission successful will appear once you reach 750 units…
Return to Captain Koh, 3rd level of the Kachirho city Tree, Kashyyyk, and he will reward you with a tractor beam and 7.5k. Talk to him again to get another mission. He wants you to steal the cargo of a stranded freighter in Corellia.
Mission 5: The Damaged Freighter
Empty your cargo, and equip your new tractor beam to a weapon slot where the mining laser was, then fly off to Corellian space…
When you get to space, make a note of how to turn on/off your tractor beam, and get after that freighter.
It’s a Tier 3 ship, but you will need to defend yourself against attacks, be ready.
When you get to the freighter and start your tractor beam 7 (I think) Tier 3 Z-95 Headhunters appear. Kill them all and continue with the siphoning of cargo from the damaged freighter. Moments later, you will get the mission successful, and the freighter will explode.

Return to Captain Koh, 3rd level of the Kachirho city Tree, Kashyyyk. He will reward you with 7.5k and you get to keep the cargo of iron you took from the freighter.
Mission 6: Broad Sample Part 1,2,3
The next mission Entitled “Broad Sample” sends you off to get 125 units of minerals from 3 systems in order:
Organometallic asteroid from Kashyyyk
Ice asteroid from Endor,
Crystal asteroid from Dathomir.
Using your tractor beam, means you do not have to destroy the last smaller part of the asteroid chunk, just activate the tractor beam and it will be pulled into you. You may still have to follow it to get closer.
Once you have completed this, return to Captain Koh, 3rd level of the Kachirho city Tree, Kashyyyk, and he will reward you with a new mining laser and 10k.
Mission 7: Protect the Y-8 Convoy
His next mssion is a patrol one, and wants you to go to Kashyyyk space and escort a bunch of Y-8’s through space. Gear up for combat and get into space….
Once you reach your target, 3x Y-8’s will appear. They will ask you to activate your comm on any of the 3 when your ready, and give the go ahead to start the journey.
Once you set off, almost immediately groups of 3 Tier 3 Dunelizards spawn constantly for the duration of the journey. You must be very quick at killing for this part.
If all 3 survive, you will eventually get the mission successful. You can now either clean up the few remiaining pirates or hyperspace back to Kashyyyk. Either way return to Captain Koh, 3rd level of the Kachirho city Tree, Kashyyyk when your ready. Captain Koh will reward you with 10k for your efforts.
Mission 8: Intercept the Gilded Wookie
His next mission, “Intercept the gilded wookie”, is the complete opposite of the previous. You must now destroy a convoy and it’s escort at the same place you escorted your convoy to safety. Secretly like, you know. Gear up for combat, its gonna be messy.
3x Tier 4 Xwings
3x Merc A wings (does not say what Tier)
1x Gilded Wookie Tier 3 Y-8
You MUST destroy all ships, so there’s no witnesses. Return to Captain Koh, 3rd level of the Kachirho city Tree, Kashyyyk when the mission successful appears.
Your reward is 12.5k.
Mission 9: Space Diamonds
Your next mission is in Kessel. You must Mine 500 units of Diamond from the ‘roids there. Be careful. Be ready.
To get to Kessel, go to your factional Deep space station,
Rebel = Dantooine, Station (Deep Space)
Imperial = Endor
Neutral = Dathomir, Last Nav Station (Deep Space)
Rebel = Dantooine, Station (Deep Space)
Imperial = Endor
Neutral = Dathomir, Last Nav Station (Deep Space)
There are 3 Diamond Asteroids in Kessel as follows:
2309, -3731, -3404
2725, 2290, 1981
-625, -3033, 4712
2309, -3731, -3404
2725, 2290, 1981
-625, -3033, 4712
If you have mapped a key to “select next space object (any)” you can confirm these co-ordinates and add waypoints.
Be aware: The roids in Kessel can spawn a multiple of 2x Asteroid Bandits. Tier 5 KSE Firesprays or Xwings. I may have been unlucky, but I killed 10 Tier 5 ships mining my 500 units of diamonds.
Once you have completed your 500 unit quota, return once more to Captain Koh, where you will be rewarded with 15k and a brand spanking new Y-8 mining vessel.

Thanks very much for making this...
When I started the quest and had to do the space mining, I didn't have a clue in the world as to how to do it. This guide really helped me. Now all I need to get is Master Pilot.....................

Do the asteroids run out of minerals?
I'm up to the Ice Asteroids and can pound on them w/o a single piece breaking off. I've flown to all the WP and tried em all. Did somebody beat me to them? Any idea how long they take to regen their supply?
*EDIT* nm, I found that you need to \exam them to see how many hp they have left. Then take em out to make it respawn.

Came till mission #7. then, after i took the Y-8 mission, I can't seem to get the WP to the freighters i'm supposed to protect. Tried warping around, warping to corellia space and coming back to kashyyyk space, didn't matter. My datapad is not full (even deleted a few WP's off it to make sure) and I even tried cancelling the mission and getting it once more. Same thing. Bug?
