Mission to Fest (Galactic Civil War)

The Mission to Fest was a skirmish in the Galactic Civil War. During his investigation on the Dark troopers, then-mercenary Kyle Katarn visited a Research Facility on Fest in order to collect more clues on their production.

After Katarn captured Moff Rebus, he proved reluctant in his interrogation but mentioned something about 'test results on the planet Fest'. Defected Imperial agent Crix Madine confirmed the existence of a facility on the planet doing metallurgical research. Jan Ors, who led Katarn's campaign, decided that analyzing the samples, would help the alliance to trace the origins of the project.

The mission
Ors left Katarn on an old landing pad in a rocky landscape far from the main entrance of the Weapons Research Facility. A frontal assault was impossible so Katarn had to traverse caves, chasms and outcroppings until he found a shaft, on the further west. Following a trench, he ended up in the main area of the facility.

Among the forces Katarn encountered, there was an Imperial Officer who held a code card. With it, Kyle was able to reach the classified section of the facility where phrik alloys were tested. By controlling a complexly controlled rotating bridge, he managed to gain access to a cylindrical platform where a case with an alloy was.

Kyle was unable to take the same route back to his ship. He traversed the dangerous testing room and reached the proper front entrance of the facility. Gaining access to the gate controls, he returned to the rocky landscape and finally to his ship

Behind the scenes
There is an easter egg in this mission: The player can find a secret room with a secret door, holding a chained Ewok.
