The
Corellian Engineering Corporation(CEC) is a large space mining company with massive operations in the Kashyyyk space system.
There is a questline surrounding this corporation that may be started on Kashyyyk. The questline acts as an introduction to the process of space mining and rewards the Y-8 Mining Ship on completion.
There is no profession or faction restriction for this questline and may be completed by anyone.
It is recommended to be in the Tier 3 range of the pilot profession for the beginning of the questline and Tier 5 towards the end.
Completion of this questline is one of the requirements for the
Celestial Discovery questline for Master Shipwrights introduced in
Update 1.2.1.
The questline may be started by speaking with Flash Harrison, who is located on the first level of the Kachirho tree.
/way kachirho -453 158 -20 Flash Harrison - 1st level;
Flash Harrison: Bah! Me, the best mining pilot in the Galaxy, stuck here on the lost planet of furballs by Imperial order! This is no place for Flash Harrison, mighty pilot! Who are you, anyway?
You: You look like you could use a hand.
Flash Harrison: Who, me? You really think you can 'give a hand' to Flash Harrison, greatest pilot in the Galaxy? Huh...I suppose you can. Between you and me, I'm working for the Corellian Engineering Corporation on a mining project in Kashyyyk, but the Imperials suspect that I'm a Rebel sympathizer!
You: That's too bad.
Flash Harrison: Tell me about it! They took my ship, and I'm stuck here with these filthy, dangerous Wookiees. I'll get off this rock as soon as I can, but until then, can you get a message to our base of operations on Talus?
You: Absolutely.
Flash Harrison: You may not be the best pilot in the Galaxy--like me--but you'll have to do. Good luck, pilot!

Thom Steele: Yes? Look, I'm very busy...
You: I come bearing a message from Flash Harrison on Kashyyyk.
This completes the quest. Continue speaking with Thom Steele to receive the next quest.
Thom Steele: That windbag? Err...I mean....that valuable asset to our company? Flash can be a little overbearing. What's the message?
You: He's stuck on Kashyyyk, and I don't think he likes Wookiees.
Thom Steele: The Wookiee phobia is his problem. Losing a mining pilot is mine. How am I going to come up with a quick replacement for that braggart? Hmm...you there, you look like you could hold your own out there. Can you fly a ship?
You: Sure I can.
Thom Steele: I knew I could count on you...err...whatever you said your name was. Get in your ship and head up to Corellian space. There have been reports of rival mining vessels horning in on our business. It would be a shame if something happened to them.

You: That's one way of putting it.
Thom Steele: Good job, old sport! You and I are going to get along just fine. Here, I have a present for you!
You: Is it Life Day already?
Thom Steele: Haw! Good one! No, your reward for taking care of those thugs! This is a mining laser that we salvag...that was handed in by one of our last mining pilots when he retired without being blown completely to smithereens by pirates. I'm also giving you a cargo hold. You'll need to load this onto your ship before you can mine asteroids.
You: Such is the life of a space miner.
Thom Steele: Don't get me wrong, pilot, it's dangerous out there! But you're better than them! You won't fall victim to space slugs, pirates, or any of the hundred other dangers mining pilots face every day! That said, ready for another task?
You: Sure. What did you have in mind?
Thom Steele: An abundance of silicaceous asteroids have entered the Corellia system recently, and we'd like a piece of those minerals. Head up there and get us a sample. You can keep whatever you mine, we'll only scrape a bit off to test the quality. 250 units should be enough to get a proper sample.

Make your way back to Thom Steele in the Dearic Cantina on Talus to get your reward and to continue the questline.
Thom Steele: Did you get me those samples?
You: I did. Here they are, 'old sport'.
Thom Steele: Bah, mocking me is not the way to impress me! In any case, thank you for getting these samples. You can keep those resources you mined, or sell them at a resource station. You did know you could do that, right?
You: You learn something new every day.
Thom Steele: Every system has a station that will buy asteroid resources from you for a set price. Some station pay more for certain things than others. There's a lot of money to be made in the mining industry!
You: I'll remember that.
Thom Steele: Here's a little something for your troubles too. Now, I'd like you to head back to Kashyyyk and take over some of Flash's duties while he's grounded. You'll want to report to Captain Koh of the mining fleet when you get there. He'll be anxious to get you up and flying.
You: I'll head out right away.

You: Thom Steele sent me here to take over some mining duties in the Kashyyyk sector.
This completes the quest. Continue speaking with Captain Koh to receive the next quest.
Captain Koh: Did he now? Well then, I'll have to put you to work! My name is Captain Koh, and I'll be your taskmaster while you are stationed on this planet. You will respect my command!
You: Sounds like fun.
Captain Koh: Fun? Hardly! Mining asteroids ain't like shooting kreetles, boy! Are you ready to be put to work or not?
You: Sir, yes sir!
Captain Koh: That's more like it. Head to Kashyyyk space and get me some samples of the organometallic asteroids up there. You can keep what you mine, I just need a little.
You: I'll do my best.
Captain Koh: Right you shall.
Before moving onto the next quest, make sure your cargo hold is empty! You can do this by:

You: I'll be back soon then.
Captain Koh: Good. Hopefully I'll have some interesting work for you.
Reward:
- 5,000 credits
- Large Cargo Hold (Starfighter Class)
To continue the questline, speak with Captain Koh again.
Captain Koh: I'm glad you have returned, pilot. You won't believe what I found in your samples! It's an outrage!
You: An outrage?
Captain Koh: You heard me! One of your samples contained a piece of a sample drill bit used by a mining fleet based out of the Lok system! Kashyyyk is OUR system!
You: And?
Captain Koh: You seem unconcerned! We can't lose ground to them. Listen, Lok is full of precious obsidian asteroids. Wouldn't it be a shame if someone... namely you... took a trip to Lok to do a little damage to their mining fields? If you see any of their ships along the way, don't hesitate to deal with them as you see fit.
You: Revenge mission. Got it.

Captain Koh: Well, pilot? Have you been to Lok yet?
You: They'll have trouble finding an asteroid left to mine in the entire system.
Captain Koh: That's what I wanted to hear! You aren't half bad after all. Here's a little cash bonus for doing my dirty work. Oh, and I also have a tool that you might find useful on future tasks.
You: A tool?
Captain Koh: The tool I've given you is a starfighter mountable tractor beam. When you blast an asteroid apart, you'll find small chunks can be easily maneuvered with this beam weapon. It will mount to any open weapon slot on your starfighter
You: Thanks. I'll use it well.
Captain Koh: Indeed you will. Come back when you are ready for more work!
Reward:
- 7,500 credits
- Tractor Beam
To continue the questline, speak with Captain Koh again.
Captain Koh: Today is our lucky day pilot! Do you know why?
You: No sir.
Captain Koh: A rival freighter is stranded in our home system of Corellia. It'll be a while before a rescue party can reach him, and in the meantime his cargo of resources is at our mercy.
You: I guess I'm headed to Corellia...
Captain Koh: You guessed correctly. You know that tractor beam I gave you earlier? You can use the tractor beam to transfer his cargo to your ship. Find the stranded mining ship and siphon his cargo off into your hold. Report back to me when you are finished. Got it?

Reward:
To continue the questline, speak with Captain Koh again.
Captain Koh: The nerve! I can't believe this! Can you believe this?
You: Err... what?
Captain Koh: Remember clearing a path for that convoy? The Gotal bandits you took out? Yeah, thought so. Well, another convoy----not ours, mind you---is using our same route to that hyperspace beacon! Trying to slip in behind us, let us do the hard work...
You: I see where this is headed...
Captain Koh: Teach them a lesson! Their flagship, 'The Gilded Wookiee', will be starting on that route any minute. They probably have a heavy fighter escort, despite the path you cleared.
You: So I should blow them up?
Captain Koh: Are you deaf? I said teach them a lesson! Yes, blow them up, scatter their ships across space, etcetera, ad infinitum! And the escorts too... don't forget about the escorts. As far as the rest of the galaxy is concerned, Gotal bandits got them before they could get out of the system.
