But first you gotta go on a suicide mission to destroy a Sith base before I say anything.” You do all that for the jerk, and his big revelation is that the Republic has been going behind the natives’ backs and setting up a kolto mining operation of their own. You go right up to the head guy on the planet and tell him that you’re there on Jedi Counsel orders to find the star map and it’s extremely critical to the fate of the Republic, and he’s like, “Oh, yeah, I *might* know something about that. I have a real problem with the Republic on Manaan. I mean, when you treat with guys who look like discount Cobra Commanders, you have to suspect that maybe they don’t have your planet’s best interests at heart. And I game soldierly on.įinally I have proof that the evil Sith are evilly up to no good, which was painfully obvious to everyone except the Selkath authorities. I’m not too keen on fighting the Dark Jedi with twin blasters, to tell you the truth, but I soldier gamely on.
What’s notable is that there are several discoveries of how the Sith have been recruiting Selkath to make into apprentices, which is kind of a no-no around here. The Sith base on Manaan is a rather tough “dungeon” (and unfortunately generic in theme). As with many RPGs, there are easy ways to resolve this, but to do it right takes a lot more effort and footwork. It involves becoming a lawyer for a guy who’s being tried for murder.
One of KOTOR’s more memorable quests is on this planet. For their part, the Selkath play it neutral, selling to both parties and strictly enforcing a peace on their planet. However, this city is teeming with tension between the Sith and the Republic, both of whom want the precious, precious kolto that the Selkath harvest here. Feels like a bit of a sterile oceanside resort. I seem to recall that Manaan got into SWTOR as well, and I know I was kind of jazzed to return here. Let’s go Jedi some stuff! Jedi it reaaaal good. Manaan is… kind of like an open-air space station sitting on top of the ocean, which is an inviting setting in which to adventure. Star Wars is well-known for its one-biome-fits-all planetary design, so it only makes sense that sooner or later we’d come upon an all-ocean world.
