Rimward Trade League & Allies
From bustling hyperlane words to sparsely populated wastelands, the Judges of the now-defunct Outer Planets Alliance had worked to protect civilians from galactic threats. When the OPA’s power began to wane, so too did its influence over the plants of the outer rim. Before the Judges scattered to the wind, a series of 3-HAW martial droids were commissioned to protect the more remote words from danger. They integrated with the local populace, and for a while, served to fend off raiders, pirates, and others of their ilk.
Recently, reports have been filtering in regarding a sudden shift in the droid’s nature. The guardians of these isolated worlds began attacking anyone without discrimination, including civilians. This didn’t happen all at once—sources have cited that individual marshal droids were acting normally until coming into contact with a haywire droid. The creator of the 3-HAW droid, Yula Perl, has gathered data regarding their sudden change. She discovered that their programming has been tampered with, and that simply coming within close range of an infected droid is enough to cause any droid to display aggressively erratic behavior.
Heeding a distress call from Bpfassh, the Rimward Trade League and allies have traveled to Ido Outpost—a remote settlement overrun with rogue 3-HAW droids. Their goal: extinguish the threat and extract what droids they can for study.
Objective 2: Several kilometers away, the rogue 3-HAW droid’s base has been located at the base of a canyon. Far enough away to avoid any civilian casualties, the team venturing here is tasked with incapacitating and collecting the infected 3-HAW droids for Yula to study. Capture as many as you can, as the virus has been showing signs of mutating the longer it propagates.
