Me and some friends(8+) did this quest. But only 2 of us were doing the quest. What we did was kill the first 5 BUT we didnt go in we stayed some distance from the base and had somone lure them to us, once we killed 5 we would wait and we saw that the siths de-spawn every 5-10min. Once they despawn, person who is gona capture goes in witha bike and the rest of ur crew heads tofront gateof base to intercept the re-spawning sith thugs so it gives the person who has the commander a chance to get out. We did this 2 times and it worked perfectly and were now working on other friends who are doing the samequest. Just thought this might help for those who cant accomplish the quest. And also if you didnt know, there are 25 bases and a remote for each base all u need is ONE remote and use it with the matching base name. If you dont know the name of the base, there are surveliance droids around the base and ithas the name of the base in there title.It would be wise to get as many remotes tho incase u fail, and also make sure the base hasnt been hit yet, the way you can tell if it hasnt is if u get close to the base ull get pushed back by the shield. I have 17 Confirmed waypoints, if u want them send me a tell, my in game name is TheHYDRO.
On a side note if ur bringing a huge group do not group up with people who are also doing the quest, they have to be outside of the group(ONLY IF THEY TALKED TO CAPTAIN SARGUILO)and make sure they dont kill the siths because the kill count wont go towards you and your partner, they are just there to help intercept the siths and hurt them enough to where you and your partner and people in your group can make the killing blow.
AGAIN remember you can have alot more people in your group helping aslong as they HAVENT talked to Captain Sarguilo, that way it doesnt mess them up incase they plan on doing the same quest but if they have then they cant be in your group.
Hope this helps =)

i did it with 3 other friends. i was grouped with the guy that would be doing it with me. i powered downt he shield....and broke down the gates/antenna/turret. then when it came to the 5 guys my whole team got slaughtered but somehow i stayed alive. Then i noticed the commander was in the base even though we only killed one thug, so, i went balls first into the base with 10 thugs around me, went down to 50 mind in a second, had to break down the second gate, got the commander, and somehow i burst ran outta there with about 90 mind without getting shot. Completed the mission. Was the luckiest thing i have ever done in this game by far.

I keep seeing posts about people powering down the shields, and then the gate and turrent. Umm...my question is how?? The two times ive tried the mission i power things down, and instantly 20 sith show up. Theres no time at all to attack anything. Any insites or info on this would be great 
Thanks

The key strategy is using decoys. Group with 1 or 2 people, that's all you need. Take out the turrets first...you can take these out before lowering the shield. After shield is lowered, use strategy to carefully pull out the sith thugs 1 or 2 at a time. After you have killed five, Mr. Commanderwill spawn. Have your buddies lure and spread all the thugs away from the base while you (or the person who didn't lower the shield) kill the gates and capture the commander. Burst run outta there,commander will catch up, and whatever thugs who are chasing you will eventually give up. Again, use your buddies as decoys for the Sith Pirates who you'll encounter on your way to the village.

I did this quest last night twice, once to unlock tree for myself and once to help a guild mate and another player we met at village. Here's how we did it and it doesn't invole killing any sith, just a lot of running. It can be done with 2 people as long as one is a doc but we did with 3. First player drops the sheild, then all run away to a safe spot, away from sith thugs. Then the player who drops the shield aggro some sith and get your head shot off. This was not part of our original plan btw we were intending to draw the sith and kill them 1 at a time, but after I lowered the shield, a sith thug shot me thru my psg and comp armour for 4465 damage!! (bug!?) and the turret slayed me.At this pointyou will get a message saying you have failed - you haven't, check your quest log and you will now see the bit about killing 5 siths is now listed as complete, the capture commander bit is now active.Ifthe player who lowers the shield gets killed, the commander spawns. Once it's safe to do so the doc can res the dead player and rebuff him. Next, wait at a safe distance from the camp and wait for the sith to despawn.When they despawn (or if you have rifleman you don't really have to wait for despawn, you can take out the turrets and gate from a safe distance -we were melee and commando) run in and destroy the turrets and the gate. When siths respawn, leg it! This may invlove several run in destroy and run out again attempts, but once turrets and gate are down, just wait for despawn,then the other player (not the one who lowered shield) run in destroy second gate and capture commander. At this point if sith are there they should despawn, they did the first time I did the quest but not the second. If they don't, don't worry just sit tight in the tent with commander and wait again for despawn. As soon as they do, exit camp and make way back to village with commander, watching all the while for sith pirates to attack. These aren't too difficult and only spawned 2 at a time for us. Once back in the village commander despawns and voila you get both crystals and your unlock.
