Settling Kadara

The quest to settle Kadara starts when you approach a candidate outpost site, located northeast of the western-most monolith or southwest of where Vehn Terev buried his Datapad during the quest “Hunting the Archon”.

The objective “Find an outpost site” is likely completed en route to finding Vehn Terev’s datapad.

To update the objective “Investigate drug use in Kadara slums”, talk to Dr. Nakamoto in Kadara Slums to start the quest “Modern Medicine”. This will change the objective to “Help Dr. Nakamoto retrieve the formula”.

The objective “Look for signs of violence between rival factions in Kadara Port” is resolved by scanning the murdered Angara in Kadara Port as part of the quest “Murder in Kadara Port”. This will be replaced with “Work with Reyes”.

After traveling to the badlands, return to Kadara Port and talk to Kaetus in Outcast Headquarters. He will give you the quest “Behind Enemy Lines”, which replaces the objective “Ask Outcast leadership about trouble on Kadara” with “Help Kaetus with the Kett on Kadara”.

To build a settlement on Kadara, you must complete the quests “Modern Medicine”, “Murder in Kadara Port”, “A People Divided”, “Precious Cargo”, “Night on the Town”, “Behind Enemy Lines”, “High Noon”, and “Healing Kadara’s Heart”. Completing these quests should also be sufficient to achieve 40% Kadara viability.

After completing the viability-improving tasks, make your way to the settlement site and activate the Outpost Beacon to deploy the settlement.

After activating the beacon, you will have an obligatory holo-chat with Addison.

Grab an **Initiative Shuttle Model** off the desk in the building where you spoke with Addison.

Leave the building and find the mayor of the settlement, Christmas Tate, in the southeastern most structure (where the shuttles land).

Chat with Christmas Tate, who will tell you about a machine-worshiping cult and its missing leader, starting the quest “Old Skinner”.
