(L09) My Sponsorship SWTOR Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Bonus missions:

Additional Bounties Available (Bonus)

Nem'ro's Palace / Jiguuna

Speak to Juda

You begin in [1]. Run to [2] to talk to Juda, sitting at the desk. You will get Small Credit Box as the payment for the previous mission - open the package in your inventory, and you'll get some credits. Soon after that you'll be accosted by Mako, who wants to join you.

This is the first Companion for the Bounty Hunter class. Regardless of your consent you will receive a new Codex entry - Persons of Note: Mako (Bounty Hunter) - worth 450 XP. Go to the palace exit in [3] and then use a Taxi to go to The Eastern Grime (Rust Yards Speeder).

The Eastern Grime / Fa'athra's Palace

Once you've arrived, go southeast to enter the Fa'athra's palace area (the gate is in [4]). The only more challenging enemies in this area are Fa'athra Guardians [+] and Fa'athra Enforcers [+], but you'll deal with them easily anyway. Just don't fight with too many enemies simultaneously!

Defeat Ortoggan the Mercenary

Instead, focus on accomplishing the bonus mission that requires you to kill three mercenaries. The first - Ortoggen the Mercenary [+] - is standing with his companion in [5]. Begin the fight with killing the latter and then get rid of the mercenary. He should not cause you much trouble.

Defeat Bashrar the Smuggler

The second mercenary, Bashrar the Smuggler [+], is waiting for you to the southwest of this area, and to be more exact - in [6]. As usual, quickly kill his companion and then defeat Bashrar.

Defeat Underboss Korkresh

The last mercenary is to the left of the palace entrance, so first you must run upstairs. Go past the entrance and head for [7]. Contrary to the rest of smugglers, Underboss Korkresh [+] uses melee attacks. Yet, this won't be a problem. You will receive 490 XP for completing this bonus mission.

Infiltrate Fa'athra's Lab

The main gate is located in [8]. Inside there are a lot of Lore Objects - see the "Places" chapter for details). Don't forget about side missions if you have any in your log.

There are a lot of opponents in the palace but most of them are weak. Only Fa'athra Palace Lieutenants [+] and Fa'athra Palace Overlords [+] can be a little challenging, but still it isn't something you can't deal with. Go to the elevator in [9] and press the button to go to Fa'athra's Palace - Level 2. You will appear in [10]. Force your way through the corridor full of enemies and enter the story area in [11]. You will receive a new mission objective.

Speak to Republic Scientist Albea

Defeat the first and second group of enemies (Fa'athra Brutes, Fa'athra Kidnappers and a bit more challenging Fa'athra Manhunter [+]), then go to the room in [12]. You'll find Albea there - talk to her. Your replies will have an impact on Mako, so consult the tables below the picture.

A	Reply (Albea)	Points / Rewards

2	Stay calm.	+15 to Affection: Mako

Defeat Rarsk and Take the Sponsorship Token

Defeat Rarsk's Men

The conversation will be interrupted by Rarsk [+] - a bounty hunter whom Nem'ro gave his sponsorship instead of you. After a quick chat you'll start fighting him and his men (Mercenaries). Get rid of them quickly, and then finish Rarsk [+] off - he's much more of a talker than a fighter. Search his body after the fight and take Sponsorship Token.

Speak to Albea

Talk to Albea for the last time. Because Rarsk came here to kill her you can finish the task for him and claim the reward or let Albea go. Remember that your replies will have an impact on Mako. See the following tables for details.

If you decided to kill Albea, then you will receive a new main mission - Albea's Bounty and Albea's Body will appear in your inventory. You will finish the mission on a different planet (Dromund Kass) (that is why it isn't covered in the guide).

Return to Nem'ro the Hutt

If you don't have any other side missions to accomplish in the palace, take the elevator to level 1 in [10] and head for the exit. Then run to the nearest Taxi (or use the Quick Travel ability). Drive up Nem'ro's palace, enter through the gate in [3] and then go to [1]. A long conversation awaits you here. In some cases your replies will have an impact on Mako - see the tables below the picture for details.
