Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• Pre-Flight ChecklistAzshara · Level 30-35

  This new engine is extremely fast. And dangerous. I'd use the word "volatile." That's the way the Captain likes it. Run back up the hill and let him know that I'll install this bad boy right now and that he should meet me at the construction site.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• Ready the NavyAzshara · Level 30-35

  Hellscream expects an armada of ships for his invasion, but the docks here are weeks behind schedule. Costs are rampant and quality is poor. Corruption is the problem, <name>! And I need you to root it out. The Foebreaker, a warship berthed at the northwest pier, should have been outfitted days ago.
