As with many worlds in the last dozens of years, Garos IV has changed hands between galactic powers several times over - both the Sith and Mandalorians had called the planet their own before it fell into the sphere of influence of the Silver Jedi Concord. But influence is a fickle thing - when the onslaught of the Bryn'adul smashed into the greater galaxy and deep into Silver Jedi Concord territory, the Silver Jedi Concord-backed government teetered and tottered until it fell apart under the weight of the refugee crisis. The once unified planetary government is no more, with new city nationstates vying for dominance over the world even as they negotiate to reform the unified government for the betterment of their world. With the threat of the Bryn'adul greatly diminished, the Silver Jedi Concord has turned its attention back to helping the world government reform, even as a hidden enemy seeks to undermine those efforts and keep the world divided.
Objective One - The Heart of a Cause (Social / Groundside combat)
In the former world capital of Ariana, local political leaders along with wealthy benefactors, social activists, and other influential voices have gathered to finish negotiations that will reform the world government and have it reclaim its place within the Silver Jedi Concord. But there are a few sticking points which threaten this delicate process as it nears completion. Ariana's delegation is notably pro-Silver Jedi Concord and has been instrumental in courting worldwide opinion to return to the Silver Jedi Concord, but in this maneuvering the delegation has drawn unwanted attention from those who feel the change is not to their betterment. There have been death threats against several members of the delegation and an assassination attempt is expected against members of this delegation, though from whom is not yet sure. An unsubstantiated rumor suggests that the delegation from Zila contains a Sith sleeper agent. Perhaps more tellingly, a businessman delegate from Zila has been linked to the Blackwing virus outbreak near Mount Breckin. However, the Zila delegation continues to publicly accept though not enthusiastically endorses the return to the Silver Jedi Concord. The delegation from Garan continues to maintain strong ties with the Mandalorian culture even after the United Clans of Mandlaor disappeared-the presence of the Mandalorian Covenant within the Silver Jedi Concord managed to swing this delegation to at least publicly back reintegration with the Silver Jedi Concord, but they continue to harbor a notable distrust of Force users including the Silver Jedi Concord. Lastly, the delegation from Northlan is perhaps the most interesting of all in that they have continued to remain aloof of galactic politics and have dragged out the negotiations the longest on pure technicalities for reasons yet unknown to the rest of the delegates. They have not privately or publicly endorsed rejoining the Silver Jedi Concord.
Help solve the political impasses of the negotiations and protect all of those present from the ever present threat of assassination.
Objective Two - The Dark Heart of the Mountain (Groundside combat)
Three weeks ago, investigative journalists followed local businessman Rhys Terrell into an old Imperial base at Mount Breckin. The journalist never returned. However, shortly thereafter, a half dozen partially decaying but still somehow alive creatures ambled out of the old facility and attacked tourists just outside of Zila. Local security forces managed to defeat the "zombies", but analysis showed that the hosts had all been infected with a previously unknown strain of the Blackwing Virus. Subsequent long-range sensor scans of the base suggest that there are more infected hosts in the galaxy, along with some other, unidentified creatures contained on the lowest level of the base.
Investigate the old facility, eliminate any threats to the citizens of Zila, and discover the origin of the infected.
Objective Three - Taking Care of Business (Fleeting/Dogfighting?Grounding)
Almost three hundred kilometers south of Northlan and in the Locura Ocean lies the idyllic island of Sylno, home to what had been a luxury resort. However, the resort on Sylno was thought to have been abandoned with the calamities of the Bryn'adul invasion of the near area. But new occupants have taken over the island in the last few months - outlaw techs. Some unknown partner on the mainland has been supplying the techs with locally sourced hibridium, allowing them to have produced dozens of cloaking devices. A number of these devices have already been spotted in the hands of local pirates and smugglers. Possession of these devices by these criminals has destabilized the control of local space by Garos IV's authorities. Elements of the Silver Jedi Concord Fleet and its Starfighter Corp are moving to secure the airspace around the outlaw tech base while Antarian Rangers and others will assault and seize the island.
Shut down the outlaw tech base and discover their hidden patron.
