I had to complete this to complete Her Dark Side ... then I could use the extra action button to "Remove the Barrier"

Description

Of all the assets on the field of battle, the troops are the most expendable. I've sent enough to their destruction to know this as a fact. If we are to safeguard this dome for Ve'nari and get her Reshii Ribbon, we should destroy their cannons. Those cannons are easily worth the lives of all of their soldiers. Destroy them and their commanders will sound the retreat. Most field commanders would never admit this as it's bad for morale, but you seem like the type that can handle uncomfortable truths.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Her Dark SideK'aresh · Level 80
An ethereal army runs on its energy siphons. Interrupt the flow of energy by destroying their siphon tower, and the army will pull back. It's one of their weaknesses as minions. Normally I wouldn't share the secrets of their defeat, but they betrayed me and will forever live with the consequences.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

To Purchase SafetyK'aresh · Level 80
I need to focus on the mission. Regardless of my doubts about our companions, the Shadowguard are a scourge. We should slay their Shadow-Captain so they cannot easily return to Eco-Dome: Primus.
