Stage 5

I have been ordered to represent the Republic in a trial where a Republic Officer is at risk of being banned off planet for defending himself against a violent Sith Soldier in the Manaan Cantina.

How this stage is set:

• Dialogue INFO 4752676426128671 under topic Orders; speaker Captain Shell (SW_RepublicQuester). locations: Manaan, Republic Embassy. conditions: Journal SW_Republic Equal 50; Journal SW_Trial Equal 0. response: “Ready for more orders already? Alright, here’s the briefing; we have a Republic soldier on trial, we need someone to represent him. Go outside of the embassy to Manaan, Central and head towards the Civil Authorities office, there’s a door to the right of the building, that’s Kogal’s Office. Get in there and see that this soldier walks free, we don’t want him getting banished from the planet and sent back up to the fleet.”.

Current journal state can be inspected with the OpenMW/Morrowind journal tooling for SW_Trial. Manually forcing journal indices is useful for diagnosis, but does not substitute for testing the scripts/dialogue that normally cause the transition.
