N-K "Necrosis" is a cyborg creation hidden away in the Deep Depths of Myyydril Caverns. The Necrosis is the object of several quests revolving around Myyydril Village in Myyydril Caverns. Any resemblance to Qymaen jai Sheelal, known affectionately since Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith as General Grevious, is purely intentional!

[edit] Part One: N-K "Necrosis"
The easiest way to get to the Necrosis is to enter the Deep Depths of Myyydril Caverns and go down at every opportunity. Mapping the Deep Depths is difficult but really unneccessary, because going down will eventually get you there. Any character of Combat Level 90 will not draw much aggro from the horrid Urnsor'is that inhabit the caverns unless you linger among them for some time.Once you get to the bottom of the caves, they will begin to go upwards again. You will know you are on the right path if you eventually enter a passage which spirals upwards again and ends at a cave full of wrecked machinary with a large gate, guarded by one of the common B-1 battle droid models named Model 3-NIi.This one won't attack you - in fact, you have to talk to it in order to gain entrance to the instance. Talk to it, and Lorn, through it, will tell you to bring it a Radiated Nak'tra Crystal from the small stream you passed though on your way here, right before the passage began to spiral upwards. Go back to the stream, and one of the reddish crystals there will appear as "Radiated Nak'tra Crystal" (-479 -230). This is the one you want. Take it back to the droid, and the moment you click on the droid you will enter the instance. If you have a group, make sure all are close to the droid before you click on it. You will have 30 minutes to complete this quest once you enter the cave.
[edit] Part Two: The Creation
Once you are in the cave, go up the hill and speak to Treun Lorn, and he will tell you that he needs the crystal so that he can bring his master to life. He calls his master N-K "Necrosis" and says that his master has been very unhappy that he has taken so long to bring him to life. Get ready for action, and then give him the crystal. N-K will spawn to your right at the machinery close by, along with two NK-3s.
You will get a badge stating that you have defeated him. Obviously, you can only get this badge once, but Necrosis is a repeatable mission with a remarkably short lockout timer - only 30 minutes. And repeat many do, because he has some very nice loot.
For reference, NK does kinetic Damage whereas the guards do Energy damage
[edit] Jedi Solo Method
Any Jedi should be able to solo this quest easily. While chapter 6 may have made it more difficult, the advent of new buffs takes care of that. A dark or lightside Jedi with weapon, clothing, and armor powerups, as well as the musty injector, a food buff, tacs, health stims, meditation, the sith holocron, medic buffs and a good ent buff with full armor and constitution, and possibly spice can easily take down all 3 NPC's. It is best to have mind trick or preferably cloak out of combat setup, so that you can kill the N-K guard, cloak and heal, kill the second guard, cloak and heal, and then pop the lair crystal and sith holocron and defeat Necrosis. Make sure to lock onto him as a target and run around. Staying stationary will get you killed. Heal often and heal early alternating between stims and your drain or heal force power.
[edit] Soloing For Everyone Else
As long as you are level 90 and well buffed, with the medic and ent buffs as well as the musty injetor and whatever else you have, you should be fine.

[edit] Star Wars Lore
Shortly after the issue of Order 66, Imperial stormtroopers were sent to retrieve General Grievous's shattered body from his resting place on the starfighter landing pad on Utapau. Even though the body was largely intact, it was missing the brain tissue which was required to give Grievous the power to live, thus the body was sent to one of Palpatine's secret warehouses on Utapau, the same storehouse as his former starfighter was later kept in. Years later, Nycolai Kinesworthy, a cyberneticist hired by the Galactic Empire was led to the warehouse by High Prophet Merili to extract the body so that it could be the host of one of Kinesworthy's experimental droid brains. Treun Lorn named the outcome the "N-K Necrosis", the first physical manifestation of the "N-K" project, which Kinesworthy had named after himself (i.e. the full name of the project is "Nycolai Kinesworthy Necrosis").
Taking the body back to his lab in the Myyydril Caverns of Kashyyyk, Kinesworthy soon started Necrosis' fighting lessons. He used a pair of IG-100 MagnaGuards (now dubbed NK-3s] to fit in with the project), which had previously been captured by IG-72 on his behalf, to train the new brain in Grievous's old body in the arts of lightsaber combat just as the former host of the body had once trained the MagnaGuards. Necrosis used a carmine double-bladed lightsaber which had been found in Grievous' starfighter, apparantley one of his earliest trophies which he had stolen from a Dark Jedi wielding it. The lightsaber had in fact once belonged to Darth Zannah and had Bane's Heart, a unique alchemically-treated Sith crystal, which had been handed to Zannah by Darth Bane himself. He was also presented with the weapon which had, in fact, destroyed Grievous; a modified BlasTech DT-57 blaster which had been dubbed the "Grievance Striker", as well as an Utapaun Nightblade. Though he was also given Grievous's old Belbullab-22 starfighter, called Soulless One, he was never known to have used it.
