For Republic players unsure of how to find a place to scan the moisture vaporator in Outpost Varath, it can be done by marching up to the northern entrance of the outpost and looking straight in, staying out of aggro range of the heavy duty guards. There is a clear line of sight up to the cliff-side building where the vaporator is located. It will be on the right side of your field of vision as you look into the outpost. There is no need to enter the outpost or fight the guards.
