Dopak Dopak was a veteran of the Mandalorian Wars and Jedi Civil War who ended up as a mercenary on Dantooine under the leadership of former elite Sith commando Azkul . Biography . Like many veterans of the recent war , Dopak found himself unemployed as the fighting ended . He turned to soldiering for pay , and initially found work for the Republic in the Outer Rim . But the Republic , short on credits post - war , scaled back on expenses and Dopak and his compatriots were some of the casualties . Dopak subsequently joined the unnamed group of mercenaries on Dantooine . By the time Meetra Surik meets him , Dopak is Sith veteran Azkul ' s de - facto second - in - command . In conversation he displays a hardened worldview and an annoyance with the settlers in general , but stops short of being hostile toward them . He says of the settlers : " So the galaxy has dealt them a bad hand . They should ante up and get back in the game . " Dopak has a grudging respect for Administrator Terena Adare , but says she needs to learn the mercenaries will not leave Dantooine just because Adare does not want them around . However , Dopak was not as hard - hearted as some of his comments suggested him to be . He did not agree with Azkul on his methods and actions against the settlers of Dantooine . Eventually , Dopak secretly entered an alliance with Khoonda militia leader Zherron . When Meetra Surik arrived on Dantooine , she earned Zherron ' s trust and delivered a coded message to Dopak . The message gave Dopak confirmation of Azkul ' s plans to attack Khoonda . Accompanying this were two words , spoken by Zherron to Meetra Surik , and then by Surik to Dopak : " Go ahead . " During the Battle of Khoonda , Azkul attempted to kill its leader , Administrator Terena Adare . Dopak stood with Administrator Terena Adare once the mercenaries under Azkul got inside Khoonda ' s main building . He defected to the side of the militia , taking a small number of other mercenaries with him . After the battle , Dopak expressed a desire to continue mercenary work , saying , " I plan to leave with as many of my men as will come with me , and look for some work that is more honorable than the wholesale slaughter of civilians . " It is unknown if he fought in the Battle of Telos IV . Behind the scenes . The player has the option to talk to Dopak after the battle , as he remains inside the Khoonda building . If the player commends Dopak for his change in sides , and claims that it was he that made victory possible , then the player will gain light side points . Dopak ' s survival once he defects to the side of the Khoonda Militia is not guaranteed ; he can die in the fighting if the enemy characters are able to focus enough of their efforts on him . The same goes for the mercenary NPCs who side with Dopak against those still following Azkul . Alternatively , if the player does not give Dopak his message from Zherron before the attack on Khoonda , then Dopak is forced to fight alongside the mercenaries in the battle , where he dies if the player sides with the militia , or survives if the player sides with the mercenaries . In the latter instance , wherein Khoonda is conquered by Azkul ' s forces , Dopak will appear in the Khoonda building , but will not enter dialogue with Meetra Surik . It is never explicitly stated what side Dopak was on in either of the two wars he was in . Given that he does not have the distinctive views of Mandalorians , he was more likely with the Republic in his first war . But being as principled as he is , however rough - edged , Dopak may well have served with the Republic a second time against Darth Revan , and later Darth Malak . Given that most of the mercenaries on Dantooine are Sith veterans , Dopak may have made a point of not mentioning precisely what military service he was in to avoid giving them a reason to watch and suspect him .
