REPUBLIC · ALL FOUR ORIGIN STORIES · RISE OF THE HUTT CARTEL
Republic Makeb: the complete main-story walkthrough
Jedi Knight, Jedi Consular, Trooper and Smuggler follow these nine Republic missions. Begin on your ship with Trouble in Paradise and finish with Taking on Toborro. This route is different from Imperial Makeb.
9 main-story missions · 58 ordered instructions · direct next-quest links. Side missions, Heroics, GSI objectives and bonus kills are separate.
Complete your last Republic class-story quest. Play Republic Ilum through Ilum Under Siege if following full story chronology.
Board your PERSONAL starship. Use its Mission Console to accept Trouble in Paradise.
Speak to Supreme Chancellor Saresh using your ship Holoterminal. Set your ship Galaxy Map to Makeb.
Follow the arrival markers to ZAN-3L0, Navigator Uptin and finally Shalim Avesta.
Start the surface campaign. Continue with Shelter From The Storm and the quest-to-quest buttons below.
Do not look for the Imperial Darth Marr/Gravity Hook Seven opener. Republic players receive a different campaign.
How to travel between Makeb objectives
Makeb has separated plateaus called mesas. A marker on another mesa can appear close on the world map while there is no walkable connection. Go to the accessible shuttle or taxi point, select the mission mesa, then follow its local map and story-phase entrance.
Track the purple campaign mission in the journal before entering a new zone. When a marker disappears after a door or elevator, switch map floors. Do not substitute a daily-area or Heroic terminal mission for the story.
Evidence note: Mission order, NPC names and objective controls are drawn from published quest records. This is not a claim of current gameplay testing of every doorway or interior coordinate.
WHERE TO GOYour ship: Mission Console and Holoterminal → Makeb orbital arrival
REQUIRED OBJECTIVEStart the Republic campaign to liberate Makeb.
Previous required story: Ship handoff
Where to go and what to do
On your personal starship, use the Mission Console to accept Trouble in Paradise. The Republic Ilum prelude can lead here but is not required to start this mission.
On the same ship, use the Holoterminal and speak with Supreme Chancellor Saresh; do not select the Imperial Darth Marr opening.
Travel to Makeb with your ship's galaxy map, then follow the purple story objective through the Republic arrival route.
Report to ZAN-3L0, then speak with Navigator Uptin to continue the surface transfer.
Find Shalim Avesta at the Republic landing area and complete the conversation to receive Shelter From The Storm.
If stuck: If the mission is missing, inspect your ship Mission Console and the Eras/story list. Trouble in Paradise is not the Imperial Countdown to Doomsday.

WHERE TO GOAvesta Plantation → Frinn Mesa → Quake Shelter
REQUIRED OBJECTIVESecure Frinn Mesa, reach the trapped civilians and rescue Lemda.
Previous required story: Trouble in Paradise
Where to go and what to do
Talk to Shalim Avesta in the Republic Avesta Plantation staging area and track the purple Shelter From The Storm mission.
Use the Makeb map and available mesa transit to reach Frinn Mesa; your tracked story objective identifies the area controlled by the Regulators.
Speak with Lane Ferow and defend the barricades before leaving the defense area.
Interact with the Regulator communications network, motorpool logs, prisoner database and medical records as the mission advances.
Go to the Quake Shelter and slice its door controls rather than treating the outer shelter door as the final objective.
Defeat Captain Kazac and the mercenaries inside, speak to Lemda, then return to Shalim Avesta to hand in the mission.
If stuck: Makeb mesas are separated by transit routes. If a marker seems across an impassable gap, use the mesa shuttle or taxi instead of jumping. Patch 7.7d added a map marker for Shalim while in the phase.

Defeat Captain Balog and his forces; speak with Councilor Soler when prompted.
Follow the new camp marker and speak to Shalim to receive Consulting the Expert.
If stuck: This mission uses three separate shuttle pads. If progress stalls, inspect each pad's completed objective rather than assuming the pads are interchangeable.

Access the first marked data terminal to start the security-bypass sequence.
Shut down the first security-tower set, then the second security-tower set; follow the current mission map for each separate target.

Use the required controls to shut down external communications and disable the inner defenses.
Open the secure lab door to reach Doctor Oggurobb and complete the story interaction.
Return to Shalim and receive Planetary Surgery.

Enter the marked Platform Keeta story area, checking the correct local map floor if the exterior pointer appears to stop at a door.
Complete the mining-sabotage and shutdown objectives shown by Planetary Surgery in your current mission log. The available quest catalog confirms the goal but does not reliably document every live-client control in the complex.
Complete the return conversation with Shalim to receive Taking on Toborro.
If stuck: An exact set of Platform Keeta interior console and lift directions has not been independently verified. Follow the purple phase entrance and journal rather than an invented room-by-room route.
