Rolf Amsel drew the small scarf across his face as another gust of dry wind hurled sand high into the air, the heated air rustling his clothing. Once more he found himself discussing business with a prospective company seeking First Order sponsorship. Well, it wasn't so much discussing as it was confirming. As per usual he was just a monkey in a uniform, tasked with confirming the claims of a manufacturer who'd apparently caught the eye of the more business minded folk higher up in the food chain than the Major. Standing next to him were several troopers, their armor impassive when greeted with the sudden burst of sand - he almost envied them. The suits were insulated, climate controlled, and to be entirely honest with himself, Rolf had to admit they were almost comfortable. As he stood atop the high desert plain, his gaze looked to the area down below. The perch they'd chosen was a plateau overlooking a dry desert tundra. Uninhabited, minimal wildlife, and no minerals or any other reason it would hold value now or ever - the perfect location for a weapons demonstration.
Corondex Arms, a minor manufacturer, had pitched several designs at the First Order brass, a few of which the company had almost eagerly been willing to demonstrate. The world of Askaj had been the perfect location - in addition to the First Order having other business on the world, no one was going to throw a fit if a bit of sand got vaporized or disturbed - and that's if they even knew about it. The location was quite remote. As he stood, wondering when the Corondex representative was going to arrive, he heard the sound of an engine - though which direction it was coming from was a mystery, the wind whistling past his ears certainly didn't help.
Objectives
1. Askaj has been known for it's harsh climate - a desert world rivaling even Tatooine in barren wasteland. Asserting Imperialism on this world would be of great benefit to the First Order, establishing order and discipline over the rampant swoop bike gangs that have cropped up due to the lack of governance. A particularly large band of raiders calling themselves "The Lady's Harbingers" have control and influence over the largest of the villages, "Baskaga". Establish a First Order Presence at this location and see if you can get the locals to assist you in locating the hideout of "The Lady's Harbingers". If these criminals can be brought to heel peacefully, do so. If not - exterminate them.
2. Subterrel is a noxious planet, the atmosphere thick with acid fog and toxic fumes from both the planet's natural state and the heavy mining equipment utilized in the mines. The planet itself is a huge production center, mining raw materials from deep beneath the planet's surface but outside of the mining facilities little is known - nor do the miners care to venture. Rumors abound of creatures who stalk the fog, ready to snatch any who dare venture too far outside the facility's walls. Examine this disturbance at your own peril!
3. BYOO - The classic, Bring your own!
