EDFM // Engineering / Engineers
Laser weapon specialist based in the Muang system, offering Beam, Burst, and Pulse Laser blueprints.
Broo Tarquin specialises in laser weapons — Beam, Burst, and Pulse Lasers — and is one of the sources for high-grade laser modifications. He sits at the end of a short prerequisite chain running from Liz Ryder through Hera Tani; Liz Ryder herself has no prerequisite Engineer.[1][2]
Location
- System: Muang
- Facility: Broo's Legacy
- Navigation notes: To be confirmed — body/station approach details weren't part of the sources checked for this pass.
How to Discover This Engineer
Broo Tarquin becomes known to you as a referral once you've built up reputation with Hera Tani (typically around approximately grade 3–4 standing with her).[1][3]
How to Receive an Invitation
You need Combat rank Competent or higher.[1][3]
How to Unlock This Engineer
- Have Hera Tani unlocked and build enough reputation with her to trigger the referral to Broo Tarquin.
- Reach Combat rank Competent or higher.
- Travel to Broo's Legacy in Muang.
- Deliver 50 units of Fujin Tea — a rare commodity sourced from Futen Spaceport in the Fujin system. Fujin Tea is typically sold only 5 tons at a time, so this normally takes several supply runs.[1][4]
- Confirm access at the Engineer's terminal.
An earlier pass at researching this page turned up a mention of "Kamitra Cigars" as the unlock commodity; that figure belongs to Hera Tani's own unlock requirement, not Broo Tarquin's, and the two were confused in one AI-summarised search result during research. Fujin Tea is the commodity confirmed directly on Broo Tarquin's own Inara entry and corroborated by two independent Frontier Forums threads specifically about this requirement.[1][5]
Engineer Unlock Chain
No source checked for this pass confirms Broo Tarquin as a prerequisite for any further Engineer — treat this as a chain endpoint until a source is found saying otherwise.
Available Engineering
| Module | Blueprint | Maximum grade |
|---|---|---|
| Beam Laser | Efficient, Lightweight, Long Range, Overcharged, Plasma Conversion, Short Range, Sturdy | To be confirmed |
| Burst Laser | Efficient, Focused, Lightweight, Long Range, Overcharged, Plasma Conversion, Rapid Fire, Short Range, Sturdy | To be confirmed |
| Pulse Laser | Efficient, Focused, Lightweight, Long Range, Overcharged, Plasma Conversion, Rapid Fire, Short Range, Sturdy | To be confirmed |
Blueprint names above are listed as offered by Broo Tarquin per Inara;[1] the maximum grade for each wasn't stated on the page checked and needs a follow-up source before it can be filled in with confidence.
Experimental Effects
To be added — not confirmed in the sources checked for this pass.
Increasing Engineer Reputation
reputation with Broo Tarquin increases through crafting modifications at his workshop and turning in bounty vouchers there.[1] Reputation gain mechanics that are common to all Engineers (rather than specific to Broo Tarquin) are covered on the main Engineering page rather than repeated here.
Blueprint Pinning
Fact: Broo Tarquin can provide the laser blueprints listed under Available Engineering above, once his maximum grade for each is confirmed.
EDFM recommendation: Not yet made. A pinning recommendation needs the maximum-grade data above filled in first, plus a check of which of these blueprints are also available at Grade 5 from a more convenient Engineer — see Elite Dangerous Field Manual:Engineering Architecture for why EDFM treats pinning guidance as editorial judgement, not a database fact.
