The New Fuel Source quest in Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords is a pivotal side objective that directly influences the stability of Telos IV. Securing a reliable energy supply for the Telos Restoration Project requires navigating galactic commerce and resolving faction disputes. Players must weigh political alignment and ethical choices to successfully complete this multi-step storyline.
Initiating the New Fuel Source Quest
To start the mission, players need to speak with Lieutenant Grenn at the Telos Security Force station on Citadel Station. He explains that the planetary restoration effort is on the brink of collapse due to severe fuel shortages following the destruction of Peragus II. This objective pushes the Jedi Exile to search the galaxy for alternative energy suppliers during their broader quest.
Traveling to Nar Shaddaa is essential for uncovering potential leads regarding new fuel imports. The Hutt cartel controls significant trade routes, making them the primary option for securing a long-term resource agreement. Interacting with local figures on the Smuggler's Moon lays the groundwork for negotiations.
Negotiating with Vogga the Hutt
Locating Vogga the Hutt in his enclave on Nar Shaddaa provides the key path forward for resolving the energy crisis. However, Vogga will not grant access to his stockpiles without receiving assistance in dealing with his commercial rivals. The Exile must eliminate or bypass Goto's threat to freighter shipments to gain the Hutt's trust.
Once Goto's yacht scenario is resolved or his interference neutralized, returning to Vogga reopens trade talks. Pitching the contract for Telos allows players to lock in the necessary fuel shipments. This critical decision satisfies the core requirement of the quest and guarantees planetary support.
Alignment Impact and Quest Rewards
Completing the New Fuel Source quest yields a substantial reward in experience points and improves planetary stability for Citadel Station. Choosing to help the Telos Restoration Project aligns with Light Side morality by preserving a peaceful diplomatic effort. Conversely, ignoring the request or failing to secure the deal leaves Telos vulnerable to Czerka Corporation exploitation.
After securing Vogga's agreement, players should return to Lieutenant Grenn on Telos to report their success. Grenn provides credit compensation and officially updates the station's operational status. This walkthrough path ensures maximum quest rewards while positively impacting the broader game ending.
