><FISH'> Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 Long time since I played KOTOR1, but I remember the Selkath getting a buzz when you mentioned a giant firaxa shark. Anybody know what this is about?
Revan1127 Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 Yeah it is a giant shark that guards the star map. Also drives the selketh crazy and they believe it is an ancient relative of them. Thats why they get angry if you kill it "Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both." Benjamin Franklin " Revan was power and it was like staring into the heart of the force."
Darth Hades Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 (edited) The Progenitor was a massive female firaxan shark that lived in the Hrakert Rift of Manaan. It was believed to be somehow responsible for producing kolto, and was the center of intense spiritualism by the Selkath, who believed it to be the ancestor of their species - which she possibly was. The Progenitor's immense size and strange capabilities seemed to be linked to the Star Map it swam about, which may have mutated it with the Force. When the Republic established an undersea outpost within the Hrakert Rift, the Progenitor went berserk as the scientists began to harvest her precious kolto. The firaxan sharks, believed to be her children, began attacking the station unprovoked, and a strange phenomenon initiated by their mother made drove the Selkath scientists to insanity, causing them to attack everyone around them. Once distress calls were sent from the underwater base, the call was answered by the reformed Darth Revan. A scientist named Kono Nolan had worked on a poison which in theory could kill the Progenitor, but his assistant Sami believed that doing so would pollute the waters of Manaan in ways that may never be corrected. Following Sami's advice, Revan destroyed the kolto harvesting machine, and the Progenitor immediately calmed down, even allowing him to approach the Star Map. ~ wookiepedia Edited June 25, 2006 by Darth Hades
vaxen83 Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 DS points for trying to kill the giant shark also. Deep from within... Victims live a life of fantasy. Some see salvation as an act of God, a few look within for it. 朱宣澧

Xard Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Who even wants to go back there? How can it be a no ob build. It has PROVEN effective. I dare you to show your builds and I will tear you apart in an arugment about how these builds will won them. - OverPowered Godzilla (OPG)
vaxen83 Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 (edited) And without doing anything or even blowing up fuel harvester, PCs would be devoured in reaching a Star Map while that fish is guarding it. Tried it once and thankfully had a saved game before that. Edited June 26, 2006 by vaxen83 Deep from within... Victims live a life of fantasy.

Dark_Raven Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Who even wants to go back there? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Certainly not I. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
DarthReliguim Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 Plus you will no longer be welcomed on Manaan. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But you can still go back if you transferred back to the ebon hawk for another place.
Darth Hades Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 I think if you play your cards right, you can kill the firaxa and blame it on the Sith...and still go back to manaan
Purgatorio Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 To not get kicked off Mannan,you say you will expose the lack of Kolto to the public, I think.Damned shame you can't kill Roland Wann. S.A.S.I.S.P.G.M.D.G.S.M.B.
Darth Hades Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 I would have rather killed the Selkath Judges and with their smug neutrality.... Oh well...
Exar Kun Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 I would have rather killed the Selkath Judges and with their smug neutrality.... Oh well... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> HAHAHAHA!... OH YES!!

Xard Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 Well, if other side is bloodthirsty sith, yes, Republic denotes good Maybe corrupted somewhat (that may not be case during kotor era), but democratic and good factor it is anyway.

TRUE DAT! HAHAHAHA!... Well... relatively speaking, Good is Bad and Bad is Good. "Good" is in the eye of the beholder, buddy.
Dark_Raven Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 I would have rather killed the Selkath Judges and with their smug neutrality.... Oh well... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Now that would have been nice. Arrogant fishies. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Xard Posted June 28, 2006 Posted June 28, 2006 But then all the fishies would've swarmed over Revan & gang How can it be a no ob build. It has PROVEN effective. I dare you to show your builds and I will tear you apart in an arugment about how these builds will won them. - OverPowered Godzilla (OPG)
Marka Ragnos Posted June 28, 2006 Posted June 28, 2006 ha! they would've tried to stop me. I would've gladly eaten them all for breakfast!
Xard Posted June 28, 2006 Posted June 28, 2006 Hmh, that's true too How can it be a no ob build. It has PROVEN effective. I dare you to show your builds and I will tear you apart in an arugment about how these builds will won them. - OverPowered Godzilla (OPG)
icebox15 Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 The Giant firaxa paralleled an evolution debate too. The two scientists said it grew so big because it was feeding directly off the kolto, it was just a big fish. The Selkath said it was the bringer of life on Manaan, a common ancestor from which the Selkath evolved. Also, I would want to go back to Manaan to collect the Genoharridan (sp?) bounties.
vaxen83 Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 (edited) Who even wants to go back there? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Once might probably be quite enough for me in a game.
