Click on the Combo-Key Datastick provided with the mission.

Download the Schematic Data

Travel back to Ardak Point and return to the Runoff Control room (where you picked up the mission). Click on the same terminal you clicked at the beginning of the mission.

Examine the Schematic

Click on the Geothermal Shielding Schematic provided with the mission. This completes the mission, and unlocks three daily missions from the console in the Runoff Control room.

This mission takes us to Ilum to collect a Hypercoolant Enclosure.

Travel to Ilum, to the Northwest section of the Eastern Ice Shelf.

•      Imperial Waystation is the closest quick travel on for Empire players.

•      Republic Waystationis the closest quick travel for Republic players.

Collect Hypercoolant Container

Click on an Empty Hypercoolant Container to collect it.

Extract Hypercoolant Chemicrystals

You will need six. These are kind of tough to spot, but you’re looking for white pools with red arrows above them (see image in the map below). They are in the general area noted on the map.

Note: The clickable area of the pool is much smaller than the pool itself, so you may have to move your mouse around to find the right spot. I found some that were not clickable, so I assume those were on cooldown from another player. I ended up switching instances to speed it up.  (They seem to have a very long respawn time, this part was quite annoying - Admiral)

Collect an Enzymer Probe Kit

I found this at the Imperial Waystation, so I assume for Republic Players, the location is the similar Republic Waystation.

Collect Tauntaun Enzymes

Find the nearest Tauntaun and use the Enzymer provided with the mission on it.

Combine Materials

Click on the Hypercoolant Container provided with the mission.

This mission takes us to Corellia to obtain a Testing Device.

Travel to Corellia, to the Labor Valley in the North-West section of the map.

I found the Testing Device by looting a Republic Rocket Gunner. I would assume there is a similar “Imperial Rocket Gunner” to loot for Republic Players. (confirmed, they are patroling around to the north of the republic taxi area at labor valley - Admiral)

Practice Using the Test Device

Click on the Practice Targets to practice using the device.

Find and Collect Suitable Durasteel

Click on the durasteel once to test it, then click it again to collect it.

Verify Durasteel Shielding

Scan for a Suitable Test Subject

Quick Travel to Orabina Cove (East section of the map) and head to garden near the location marker on your map (there are two markers, head to the one that is more South-East). There is a damaged Gonk Droid sticking out of the garden you need to scan with the provided macrobinoculars.

When you enter the room, the mission will advance.

Search Databanks: 0/3

Click on the three mainframe databanks highlighted in blue in the mainframe room.

Find the Backup Terminal

There is not a map indicator for where to go for this step in the mission. Instead, the mission gives you a hint to Examine your Personal Logs. There are three Personal Logs in your Mission Items Inventory.

The one titled “Career Goals” has a comment about how working at the geothermal plant is much more interesting than hypermatter manufacture oversight. This hint is a reference to the hypermatter facility on the Black Hole daily area on Corellia. Use your Black Hole Planetary Mission to quick travel there.

Head to the East section of the map marked below.

Once inside, head to the area marked on the map below. When you get close enough to the terminal, the mission will advance.

Slice the Backup Terminal

The terminal has five buttons, four of which are color coded. You have to click the buttons in the right order to slice the terminal. For a hint on the correct order, go back to the Personal Logs, this time looking at the one titled “IMPORTANT”.

The text includes the following message: Remember: HELLO, MEAN, HEAD, …GLURPLE?” Those word rhyme with a corresponding color, making the sequence YELLOW, GREEN, RED, PURPLE.

Examine Data Readout

Click on the data readout provided with the mission.

This ends the mission. The final mission will then appear on the output terminal next to the backup terminal.

The final mission in this series starts by taking us back to Iokath to Obtain 3 Fabricator Components. Head to Iokath and follow the map indicators to the Weapons Factory. I quick traveled to Iokath Operation Control (South section of map – where the entrance to the Gods operation is) then followed the map indicators from there.

The center section of the Weapons Factory marked on your map will have several Fabricator Parts bins to click on. Click three to obtain the components.

Download Fabricator Plans

Head to the section of the Weapons Factory directly South of where you collected the components, indicated on your map, and download the plans from one of the clickable Schematic Databanks.
