Before you can even think about breaking in, you need information. This sub-quest involves infiltrating various smaller Board outposts or bribing informants to gather blueprints, security schedules, and access codes for the main facility. You might need to hack terminals, pickpocket keycards from high-ranking officials, or complete a series of mini-quests for shady characters. Pay attention to dialogue options; sometimes, a well-placed 'Lie' or 'Persuade' can yield crucial information without resorting to violence. Look for data pads and audio logs that detail security protocols and guard patrols. The more intel you gather, the easier the main heist will be. Consider bringing a companion with high 'Hacking' or 'Lockpicking' skills to assist with this stage. This intel gathering can be spread across multiple planets, requiring travel between systems.
