There are ways to make [[Elis Helrot]] a much more safe and effective means of transport. How? Well, notice how it costs Force to make either [[Quite A Mercenary]] or I Have A Bad Feeling work (2 and 3 Force, respectively). So, keep an eye on the Light Side's Force Pile. You could also take a look to see what the Light Side has got in store for you with [[Scanning Crew]], [[Frustration]], or even [[M'iiyoom Onith]] or Monnock (watch out for [[Shocking Information]] however).
