The Veteran's Legacy: Kay Vess' Quest for MT-7 in Star Wars Outlaws

In the vast, untamed frontiers of the galaxy, where scoundrels and outlaws carve their own destinies, Kay Vess found herself on a mission that bridged the past and present. The year was 2026, and Kay's journey to become the most formidable scoundrel in the Outer Rim led her to an encounter with a relic of a bygone era: MT-7, a weathered droid whose memory banks held echoes of the Clone Wars. This wasn't just another job; it was The Veteran, an Expert Quest that would test her skills and reward her with the unique ability to decrypt long-lost Separatist Datadiscs, a valuable tool for any information broker operating in the post-Empire chaos.

The quest began not on a planet's surface, but amidst the silent debris fields of space. Piloting her trusty ship, the Trailblazer, Kay had to scour orbital lanes, targeting the distinctive yellow cargo containers that drifted like metallic asteroids. There was no specific sector; the key was persistence. She blasted container after container, her companion droid ND-5 silently analyzing the spoils. Finally, after what felt like a small eternity of looting, ND-5's photoreceptors flashed. He had successfully triangulated a faint, encrypted CIS transmission. The source? An abandoned hideout on the lush, rainy world of Akiva. A new landing zone flickered onto her nav-computer, marking the start of a deeper mystery.

Touching down on Akiva, Kay stepped out into the humid air. The hideout was exactly as described—forgotten and reclaimed by nature. Within its rusted corridors, she met MT-7 for the first time. The droid's chassis was scarred, its voice module crackling with static and nostalgia. Its request was simple, yet poignant: find traces of its old military unit, lost decades ago. Agreeing to help, Kay's first task was to locate three critical datapads scattered across Akiva, each holding a piece of the puzzle.

The first pad was close by, hidden behind a series of environmental puzzles within the hideout's lower levels. It required agility and a sharp eye. Kay navigated down ladders, spotted a climbable yellow wall, and ascended to a higher gate. A precarious jump and a slide down later, she found herself needing to react quickly. In a chamber with a gaping hole in the wall, three power generators hummed. With swift precision, she drew her blaster and shot each one in rapid succession—left, right, and finally one directly beside her. A sealed door hissed open, revealing the first datapad on the dusty floor. Its data pointed south.

Mounting her speeder bike, Kay raced through Akiva's dense jungles, following ND-5's waypoint to a secluded cave system. The location was far from tranquil; it was infested with swarms of aggressive, frog-like creatures. While individually weak, their numbers were overwhelming. Kay adopted a methodical approach, advancing slowly through the dank cavern, her blaster bolts illuminating the darkness as she cleared a path. The echoing croaks and screeches fell silent as she reached the cave's rear. There, another yellow wall awaited. She scaled it, and in a small alcove to the left, found the second datapad clutched in the skeletal grip of a destroyed battle droid—a silent testament to the war MT-7 remembered.

The final datapad led her to the northwest, near the Sashin village and the ruins of a Separatist base. For players who had already befriended the local scavenger expert, a fast-travel to the village made this leg trivial. For others, it meant a long, scenic—and potentially dangerous—ride. Arriving at the base, Kay navigated a path of ancient architecture, climbing a series of yellow handholds on crumbling walls. The journey culminated at a wide chasm. With a confident smirk, she fired her grappling hook, swinging across the gap with practiced ease. On the other side, lying innocuously on the ground, was the third and final datapad. Its decrypted signal data had a clear conclusion: the trail led back to the stars.

Returning to Orbit: The Jammer Hunt

With all data compiled, Kay regrouped at the Trailblazer and launched into the black void of space. Her destination was a debris field known as Trapper's Field. But peace was short-lived. ND-5 quickly alerted her that the signal they were homing in on was being actively disrupted by multiple jamming devices. To clear the comms, she would have to find and destroy five of these jammers scattered among the wreckage of derelict space stations.

• Jammer Locations: A mix of interior and exterior placements.

• Primary Threat: Pirate ambushes triggered by progress.

• Appearance: Small, red-and-gray devices emitting a pulsating yellow glow.

The hunt was tense. The first jammer shattered under her blaster fire, but its destruction was a beacon. A pirate skiff decloaked nearby, its crew spilling out to attack. Kay took cover behind twisted metal panels, returning fire until the last pirate fell. She repeated the process, methodically hunting down the jammers. After the fourth one exploded, a second, larger wave of pirates attacked, forcing her into a fierce firefight amid the floating wreckage. Once the area was secure, she located the fifth and final jammer, often tucked inside the skeletal frames of the broken stations, and blasted it to pieces.

A Droid's Peace

With the signal clear, Kay returned to Akiva. Back in the abandoned hideout, a final cutscene played out. She presented her findings to MT-7. The old droid processed the information—the confirmed fate of its unit. There was no grand treasure, but something more valuable: closure. In gratitude, MT-7 integrated a decryption protocol directly into ND-5's systems. Kay had gained a new expert ability, permanently enhancing her capacity to unlock the secrets of the Separatist era. The Veteran's quest was complete, weaving Kay's story deeper into the fabric of the galaxy's hidden history and proving that even for a scoundrel, some missions are about more than just credits.
