Pickpocketing that item off the Umpani merchant helps you figure something out about him, but I'm not sure whether or not you couldn't also figure that out on your own (through mindreading and talking to various NPCs around the base).
Having recently allied the T'Rang and Umpani in my previous game, I can tell you that I did pickpocket this individual, but as I said, I'm not entirely sure that you *have* to do it this way. I plan on testing this further with my current game, but unfortunately I have a party full of hybrids that are incredibly slow to develop this time around and it's taking me a bit longer.
Given the recent changes to the pickpocket skill, I would hope that pickpocket is not required for such a significant quest.
Now, the T'Rang/Umpani alliance aside, there *are* some items that I've run across elsewhere that seem to be obtainable only by pickpocketing. For the most part, though it is merely items - not actual quests.
Hope this helps ease your mind somewhat, I'm sure others will be along to give you their input as well. [img]smile.gif[/img]
