Bonus mission
Counter-Insurgency (Bonus)
Fort Garnik / Avitalan Badlands
Speak to Mirru
You start this mission in [1], of course. Exit through the door in [2] and then leave Fort Garnik through the gate in [3]. You'll find Mirru in [4]. Talk to him - you have to get information about the separatist attack out of him, but the way you'll do it will result in earning Light or Dark Side points (see the table below the picture for details).
A | Reply | Points / Rewards |
1 | Fine, take some of my money. | +50 to Light Side |
2 | We'll arrange a reward later. | +50 to Light Side |
3 | I'm done talking. | +50 to Dark Side |
Use Your Personal Holocom
Then press the button on the screen to talk with Arik Jorgan via the holocom. Once again your reply can get you some Light or Dark Side points. See the table below for details.

2 | Nothing like a good challenge. | +50 to Light Side |
3 | Not my mission, or my problem. | +50 to Dark Side |
Eliminate the Separatist Forces: 0/10
Go northwest right away. The bombs, deployed in [4], [5] and [6], are protected by groups of separatists. Killing ten of them will also mean completing a bonus mission, and you need to get rid of them anyway if you want to defuse the bombs. You'll gain 390 XP for eliminating ten separatists.
Disable the First Bomb
There are four separatists by each bomb. The first bomb is on the left - in [4]. Get closer and examine it. This will disable the bomb.
Disable the Second Bomb
The second bomb is by the road in [5].
Disable the Third Bomb
Finally, the third bomb is on the right, in [6].
Return to Republic Command Center
After defusing all the three bombs, it's best to simply let a group of separatists kill you (just not too far from Fort Garnik). This way, you'll be able to respawn in the medical center inside the fort. Head for the Republic Command Center in [2] and enter the building.
Speak to Private Farn
Inside, you'll be accosted by Private Farn in [7]. The private will complain about one of the commanders. Your replies will not affect the course of the story, though you can get some Dark or Light Side points. See the table below the picture for details.
A | Reply | Effect |
1 | I'd be glad to help. | End of conversation |
2 | We'll see if I have time. | End of conversation |
3 | I've heard enough. | Further conversation stage - B |
B | Reply | Points / Rewards |
1 | Here, take some credits. | +50 to Light Side |
2 | Extra combat will do you good. | +50 to Dark Side |
3 | Don't bother me again. | +50 to Dark Side |
Speak to Commander Tavus
After that, go to the commanders' room in [1] and speak with Commander Tavus. Before the end of the conversation you have to decide whether to report Lieutenant Virk to the commander (second dialogue option in the table below the picture), or not. Your choice will have an influence on how Lieutenant Virk will behave towards you in the near future. Apart from that, you'll accomplish the mission and receive another one, naturally.
