(Sorry if I posted this in the wrong place, Valen.)
First off, I'd like to apologize for the lack of an official announcement post for the previous two sessions. I was rather busy those weeks and so scheduling and set-up for them was kinda messy.
Anyways, this is the next chapter of our ongoing campaign, now dubbed "The SIS Files". The event will take place on the Phantom Academy server (phantom.jk3.in), unless it's decided otherwise. It is a closed event but open to members and non-members alike. If you aren't part of our usual roleplay group nor an SO/PA admin, please contact me via Discord or forum PM if you wish to participate, and please read the rules before doing so.
This roleplay will feature the following maps:

Other maps may also be used depending on the events that unfold. You can find links to the maps we often use, as well as the link to our skin pack in the RP Downloads Thread.
The starting point:
This campaign is set in 3620 BBY. The galaxy is in a state of fear and shock after the Mandalorians unleashed a terrifying virus upon the galactic capitals of Coruscant and Dromund Kass. During this chaos, a team of Republic agents arrive on the frozen prison world of Belsavis to meet with a droid technician who may be able to extract important information about this plague locked deep inside their assassin droid.
[SPOILER="Recap of the story so far:"]
In the wake of a devastating invasion by the Sith Empire, the Republic's Strategic Information Service (SIS) assembled an elite team of agents tasked with sabotaging the Sith war effort any way they can. Their first mission involved investigating a mining corporation, which, while successful, resulted in the death of two teammates by Imperial Intelligence, who had been tipped off about their operation. However, they had acquired an HK-55 assassin droid along the way, which previously belonged to the currently Mandalorian-controlled Exchange syndicate.
After their team was replenished with two new members, they were sent on a much larger long-term assignment, to investigate and, if possible, destroy the Empire's latest weapon: the Infected. Vicious, intelligent genetically engineered reptilian monstrosities that can mutate their prey just as easily as they can outright kill it. Searching for answers, the team raided an Imperial research base, but, unfortunately, other than the arm of a victim, not many useful or relevant clues were found. However, while fighting one of the creatures, which had stuck aboard their starship, they discovered that the HK droid had encountered them before, but his old memories have been locked deep inside his core, and can only be accessed by his original programmers.
They then traveled to a small town on Tatooine ruled by the Exchange, hoping they would know where to find these programmers. Under the guise of freelance mercenaries for hire, they met with their leader, Lotto, and offered to deliver some cargo to Coruscant in exchange (pun intended) for the information. Before leaving, they also picked up a new passenger, a civilian seeking passage to Coruscant to deliver a message, and were attacked by some mutinous thugs for their cargo. After the scum and villainy were dealt with, the HK unit gave some ominous warnings about what our agents were bringing aboard. Despite this, they continued on to the Republic capital.
Upon arrival, they were menaced by assassins who were also interested in what they were carrying, as well as an agent of the Empire, who revealed the horrifying truth: those boxes contained the virus, and they just brought it right to the heart of the Republic. Utterly shocked and devastated over how they'd been manipulated, the team quickly escaped the planet and flew back to Tatooine to bring the civilian home and confront Lotto, who revealed he also brought the virus to the Sith capital of Dromund Kass, and that the Infection was already about to begin, so killing him would accomplish nothing. But luckily, he also kept to his end of the deal and gave the location of one of the programmers. Unfortunately, this person is locked up on Belsavis, the Republic's largest and most secure prison colony. However, the team still has the SIS on their side, who are willing to help them get in, and the civilian they've been helping works for a large data center, whose database she can access remotely, and has decided to join the crew.
