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 (community sources describe this as reaching 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
Community sources indicate 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.
