Speak to the bartender at the Domak Refectory Cantina to receive Rooster’s location intel, leading you to a nearby table where a woman sits alone. Speak to her and receive directions to Pilot’s End in Kijimi Orbit, where Rooster’s lost weapons are found.

Return to the Trailblazer and fly into Kijimi Orbit, following the yellow marker to the destination. Inside the search area, look for a bright yellow container. There are a few in this area so it might take several attempts to locate the one you need.

After locating the tracker, Kay calls Rooster Trace. Listen to the conversation, exit the Nebula, and set course to Tattooine. You can also fast travel directly to Bestine on Tattooine, the nearest fast travel point to the quest location.

On Tattooine, meet Rooster at the marked location right at the end of the North Jundland Wastes and South Jundland Wastes. Speak to her to continue the mission and hear the plans for the surprise attack on the Imperial Convoy.

Defeat all waves of Imperial reinforcements, using the huge turrets scattered in the area, and speak to Rooster again to complete the quest and unlock the ‘Can I Try That?’ ability, allowing you to pick up and use more advanced weapons, as well as tasks to unlock the rest of The Mercenary abilities.
