When you turn in the quest, Vindicator Boros says "I've heard about you. You're the one that made the Kessel Run in under 15 minutes, right?". This is a reference to the same phrase The Kessel Run quest name comes from. In the original Star Wars movie, Han Solo says "You've never heard of the Millennium Falcon?…It's the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs."

The follow-up statement "Bah, probably not," could be in-universe (the player probably isn't that famous person Boros has heard about), or it could be reference to the fact that making the Kessel Run in "less than twelve parsecs" has caused a long-standing argument about whether that statement even makes sense. It's pretty clear Han was supposed to be talking about time, but parsecs are a unit of distance. Still, people have found ways to make the nonsense phrase "correct". So we could answer "did he make the run in under 12 parsecs" with "probably not".

Description

What does Argus mean to you, {name}? Many draenei probably do not know or remember our home planet. It is there that we split from the man'ari: the twisted demonic reflections of ourselves that were 'gifted' by Sargeras. Or as they call themselves, eredar. Eredar... this word once held meaning. <Admetius smacks his lips as if to taste the word.> Disgusting. Let us not waste anymore time. Find Vindicator Boros to begin your training.

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.
