where is the escape pod?
Hunting Grounds in webweaver area, lower part near the bridge and Named Silkthrower spider....across from that.

you may be right but the enire setup for the mission is totaly BS. The attack starts before i am anywhere near the WP. The closest i can get is 5k hyperspacing in. Once i arrive the attack is immediate. By the time i arrive there is only one or two left anyway.
You'll need a hand with it, I did. Hyper to Avatar Platform, and wait a few seconds while the fighter assistance comes in. They won't last long, you just have to use them to distract the agro, timing is all. Once the firing starts, have yourself and friends boost in and focus all fire on the Decimator, keeping your eye on how many fighter helpers you have left. Once the Decimator is gone, mop up it's escort, and congratulate yourself.
It might also be worthwhile having a friend at the Platform already, blowing up most of the defense platforms. Now, I think destroying all of them causes a respawn, so, if you leave the Tier 1 platform, then have them hide on the other side of the platform away from the mission spawn, and swing around when you arrive...that might work.
Thanks man.... I thought that was it, but wasn't sure

. This required MDefender, forcerun1, lots of healing, liberal use of force aura and force valor, but when I got to Rroot and then ran around most of the aggro gave up as they usually do if you get too far from their spawn and left. I talked to Rroot, ran back out using the same method.. killed some Wookiees, then ran back in again, talked to Rroot, then used a pet to pull only the level 81's. I did have help on this, I ran through the guards and a pistoleer followed in my wake and didn't get any aggro. She was able to wait in the room with RRoot while I ran around trying to lose aggro. 1 incap for each of us out of all the running in and out, we both completed the mission. She talked too Rroot first and he despawned, so I ran all the way out and back in and he respawned (we also waited about 10 minutes, so I'm not sure which caused him to respawn).
