    You can start this quest by visiting one of these NPCs, depending on your faction, in Mos Eisley on Tatooine.

    /way Tatooine 3470 -4728 Major Appleton;
    Rebel
    /way Tatooine 3286 -4507 Lieutenant Thulough;

    The questline is exactly the same regardless of faction.

    Level: 80
    Description:
    An Imperial Star Destroyer has gone renegade. You have been recruited to find it and gain control of it.
    Recommended combat level: 80

    Major Appleton: The Empire requires your services. A Star Destroyer captain has gone rogue and taken control of the ship. Your mission is to help the Empire regain control of that ship.
    You: You can count on me.
    Major Appleton: A response worthy of the Empire.

    Lieutenant Thulough: Pssst...c'mere. You interested in one heck of a mission? Word is that an Imperial Star Destroyer has been liberated from the Empire. I need someone capable who can learn more about this. Interested?
    You: Definitely!
    Lieutenant Thulough: I knew you would be.

    Hirael Chindiaye: Hey buddy, wanna help take over a Star Destroyer? Chance of a lifetime. Imagine what one could do with something like that...yeah, just imagine.
    You: Count me in.
    Hirael Chindiaye: Ah good. Word is that some Imperial captain has hijacked and taken control of a Star Destroyer. I aim to wrest control away from him. For me own purposes, so don't even ask.

    After your conversation, the quest will update.

    Finding an Escape Pod​


    Go to any starport ticket droid and ask for the location of an Imperial escape pod that has recently turned up and been registered as abandoned.

    Travel to Mining Outpost on Yavin IV, radial the Ticket Collector droid, and select the Retrieve data option.

    Note: If you are an Imperial, this quest step is skipped

    Investigate the Escape Pod​


    Travel to the escape pod from the Star Destroyer and investigate. It is on Yavin IV.

    Travel to Mining Outpost on Yavin IV and make your way to the escape pod.
    /way yavin4 -2265 -330 Escape Pod;

    Once you arrive, click on an escape pod security console. You will be given a No-Trade item, A Salvaged Flight Recorder, and your quest will update.

    IMPORTANT: DO NOT destroy the flight recorder as this will delete the pre-quest, and you will have to start it all over again.

    Reconfigure the Flight Recorder​


    Reconfigure the flight recorder so that you learn what information it holds.

    Radial the Salvaged Flight Recorder and you will see various options available.
    • Reconfigure Interface
    • Current Status
    This quest step requires the player to solve a puzzle using the Salvaged Flight Recorder. Your task is to connect the four wires to the correct connection to activate the flight recorder.

    You have blue, red, and yellow wires. You have 4 connections.

    Once you have assigned wires to a connection, you may select Test Configuration to see if you are correct. This will cause a status window to appear. There will be three values.
    1. Flickering
    2. Lit
    3. Integrity
    If you get a flickering result, it means you have a right color but in the wrong connection. The lit response means the wire is correct. Integrity is the condition of the recorder before it resets itself and you have to start over with a new unknown random combination.

    You are given a certain number of attempts where you may Test Configuration, before the combination is reset and randomized.

    Once you get all of the correct connections, you will get an in-game popup.

    The flight recorder reveals that former Imperial Captain Sait has taken control of the Star Destroyer and seeks to sell it to the Black Sun.
    As soon as you click OK, you will get a comm message from your faction's quest-giver and your quest will update.

    Major Appleton - Comm message: Those Black Sun scoundrels must know where the Star Destroyer has been taken. Go to one of their bases and convince them to share that information with you.

    Lieutenant Thulough - Comm message: We cannot allow the Black Sun to get their hands on a Star Destroyer, but first we must find out where it is. Travel to one of the Black Sun hideouts and find out where the Star Destroyer is.

    Hirael Chindiaye - Comm message: So the Black Sun plan to purchase the Star Destroyer. Good to know. First things first, though. Let's find out where they've taken the Star Destroyer. Go to one of their hideouts and see what you can find.

    Star Destroyer Location​


    Captain Sait is looking to sell the Star Destroyer to the Black Sun. Go to a Black Sun stronghold on Endor and fight Black Sun members there until you find a datapad revealing the location of the renegade Star Destroyer.

    Travel to Smuggler Outpost on Endor and make your way to the Black Sun Stronghold.
    /way endor -5197 6962 Black Sun Stronghold;
    • The bunker is full of CL85 Elite NPCs
    You will need to kill Black Sun NPCs, until your quest updates. It will take about 8-15 kills to get the quest update.

    Return to Mos Eisley​


    Return to Mos Eisley and speak with Major Appleton / Lieutenant Thulough / Hirael Chindiaye.

    Head back to your faction's quest-giver in Mos Eisley and speak with them.

    Imperial
    /way Tatooine 3470 -4728 Major Appleton;
    Rebel
    /way Tatooine 3286 -4507 Lieutenant Thulough;
    Neutral
    /way Tatooine 3339 -4622 Hirael Chindiaye;

    Major Appleton: You are a credit to the Empire. But your task is not complete until you have regained control of the Star Destroyer.

    Lieutenant Thulough: Excellent work. Now you just need to get up there and take control of that Star Destroyer for the Rebel Alliance. Why are you laughing?

    Hirael Chindiaye: Hmm...that was the easy part. Now don't mistake me...you done real good, but we're still no closer to actually controlling that Star Destroyer. And even more disturbing...apparently you need an entire army to man one of those things. How'm I ever gonna manage that?

    This completes the quest and the pre-requisite questline for the Lost Star Destroyer(ISD) heroic instance.
