No, that's not how it works. It is not "Republic = Light, Empire = Dark".

This is incorrect. The plaque next to the Cathar refugee is for the "Refugees of War" Lore codex. The Cathar entry is from doing her quest.

Yes, but about 5 or 6 of those 24 can only be gotten through quests.

I suspect many of the Beastiary and Species codex entries are actually collected on later planets, and simply count for the total of entries for earlier planets because they exist on those planets.

Jedi Consular here. Thanks to some tips from this thread, I am now missing only three entries for Tython: Terentatek (which I believe I should get as I continue questing on Taris) Wingmaw Satele Shan

Hey all, As a Jedi Consular I have been travelling collecting as many codexes as I can. I currently have 16/23. The ones I am missing are (from looking on swtor-spy): Split by Rebellion (seems to be from a Smuggler/Trooper only quest which I can't do) Ruled by Corruption (ditto) Underworld Influences (ditto) Separatist Movement (not sure where this one comes from) Cathar (also from a quest I can't do) Kel Dor Mon Calamari Any ideas?
