Run up to the Republic Taxi Droid, near that plank. The location should proc for you then.

Agreed, OP. Also, this quest is BUGGED. I just ran this for the 4th time tonight. I was lvl 49, and I had 3 lvl 50's with me. No real problems with the mobs, making sure to CC at least 2 elites. By the time we reached the force fields, we were told to de-activate it. Once there, we had to take down a boss with 180k+ HP who hits hard. Seriously ridiculous DPS. Quite surprising for a standard Heroic 4 mission. Once killed, we all clicked on the panel and started the sequence. TWO times we ran this, and ONE person did not get the next step in the mission. Also, resetting or abandoning is pointless. Looks like you either need to luck out, or run it several times for each group member to get the next step. Oh, and to top it all off, the mobs re-spawn in like 2-3 minutes after clearing them out! (Static, you will not be missed).

Bump. This is a bigtime oversight and needs to be addressed.

It's most definitely in there. I can't remember the exact coords, as it's been awhile since I've done it. EDIT: So, I decided to re-run the entire instance to find the coords, but to no avail. I did see the terminal for the thranta-class entry (in the room where you fight Yadira Ban). I must've received the codex entry for completing the flashpoint or something.

I second this. It'll probably be added in a patch, similar to the barber shop in WoW.
