Our Points of View
START WITHDefender ship intercom
WHERE TO GODefender → Republic Balmorra → Imperial manufacturing district and Tai Cordan
MAIN OBJECTIVEAnswer Tai Cordan's request to free Balmorra and restore his government's authority.
Required previous mission: An Alliance of Opposites. If the purple objective is missing, finish the listed prerequisite and its ship or contact conversation, then check the story journal before taking unrelated planetary quests.
Follow these story objectives
- Return to the Defender after completing the Fortitude meeting and activate the ship intercom.
- Travel to Republic Balmorra and use the intercom again when the class-story objective calls for it; contact Zenith.
- Activate the four marked scramblers around the district, one in each compass direction.
- Call by holocom, then locate Chief Trabier at the Imperial manufacturing area and resolve the encounter.
- Report to Tai Cordan to complete the mission and begin the Director Fenn investigation.
Where players get stuck: Chapter 2 starts on your ship. If Balmorra has no purple marker, return to the Defender and check the intercom.
Mission and dependency source: published SWTOR quest record. Names and objective order were researched, but exact doors, taxi pads and live-game map floors have not been verified in play. When a mission stage changes, use its updated in-game marker.
