IM A newbe and I dont know how to play
                                                                             

As of January 4th 2005 the reward for the first mission is still 50 credits.                                                                

Here are the next two missions:

(Sykes No. 2 - Large Berzerk Ikopi)
Captain Gavyn Sykes
Keren Starport (1352,2768)
I have another emergency and another lack of qualified people. Apparently those Gungan smugglers I mentioned are looking for crazed animals. We've been getting reports of attacks by ordinarily harmless beasts. Here's a new report about -- let's see -- a berserk ikopi. Destroy this poor creature before the Gungan gang gets it.
Good. I hope you'll once again. Exceed my expectations. These berserk animals can be dangerous, even the little ones -- and this ikopi is pretty big. Be careful.
[Large berzerk ikopi - HAM: 3045 AR: Light Resists: Kinetic, Energy, Blast, Restraint, Heat, Cold 10% - I think had an info circle over it, but didn't try it out]
I really do take back all the things I thought about you. Here's your reward. Talk with me later if you want more work.
Reward: 100 Credits

(Sykes No. 3 - Haf Mandrox)
Captain Gavyn Sykes
Keren Starport (1352, 2768)
Are you interested in taking the fight against smugglers right to their leader's door? That Gungan smuggling gang is taking orders from a human thug, Mandrox, one of Borvo the Hutt's lieutenants. I already guessed Borvo would be at the bottom of this. I want you to bring in Mandrox for questioning.
I'm beginning not to be surprised when you take these challenges. Mandrox is usually acoompanied by two or three Gungan thugs, so as always, be careful.
[Go get Haf Mandrox
Gungan Base Male - HAM: 2065 AR: None Resists: Cold 30% Kinetic, Energy, Blast, Restraint, Acid, Electricity 15%]
** Appears to be bugged. Haf's "guards" attack and kill him as soon as they spawn in. **

Who's the bad guy, that Naboo or the Gungans.  My suspicion is that the Gungans are the ones combating the Empire in a way and the Naboo are allied with them, but I could be wrong. Can anyone explain who's more good and who's more bad?                                      

Ive noticed that even though a mob is red on my compass. If i have faction, they wont agro.

For example. Jabba's thugs would agro me all the time. I completed a few of his quests, killed some Valkryina's (sp?) and they still show up red on my radar but I can walk up to them without agro.                         

So after you kill Zim Zam...you get sent off on the next step...to kill a berserk animal...forget the name...the deer like things...anyhow...that was easy enough...but the next part after that you are supposed to go bring in someone for questioning...one of Borvo's men.  Anyhow he's got 2 or 3 Gungan Guards with him. My problem is that almost as soon as he and the guards spawn on my screen (I tried 3 times so far) the guards kill him. I can't figure out how to save him from the guards...and even if I do...he's red on my compass...so that means he's probably gonna attack me...assuming he lives past the Gungan's so I don't know how to bring him in for questioning. If anyone figures it out I'd appreciate it.

That must be Gavyn Sykes. He's the character you play in Battle for Naboo on the N64. 'Twas a great game, by the way.

I love how you keep finding little bits of the Star Wars universe everywhere you turn. That's what makes SWG so special.
