The Anaxes Deployment

[Riddick]

We're going to be on Anaxes for a while, so I figured now was a good time to lay out the plans for Anaxes, and the way it's going to be changing over time.

As you guys participate in passive events and major operations, I'm going to be updating the map. This is something I'm pretty excited about, and have successfully stuck with so far, so the future's looking bright for this.

Here are some examples of new locations and factions that have already begun to spring up:
The Worksite

As time progresses, contractors hired by the Republic will continue to handle the damage dealt throughout the base, starting with the scrapyard that lies just beyond the outer gate. Workers have already begun to clear out a space to gather up gravel and debris left over from the mission to retake the stronghold. Throughout the area you may find that some of these workers could use some extra help, and will reward you for it!
Rogue Scrappers

If you've spoken to Ensign Patch in the hangar, you may already be aware of the ever-increasing threat posed by these scavengers who have laid claim to the scrap left by the initial assault. Initially, the Scrappers Guild had mistakenly begun an operation believing the area to be sanctioned for salvaging, but quickly relocated once the matter was settled through official channels.

However, dissatisfied with this outcome, a splinter faction of scrappers have taken up arms, and even gone so far as to attack a prison transport vessel to pull extra forces willing to join their cause. They have begun to use scrap from the battlefield to forge an army of impromptu assault droids and hotwired astromechs, further entrenching their position and causing significant strain to our operations in the area.

As it stands, they won't be pleased until we're offworld and the scrap is theirs for the taking. Because of this, Republic Command has designated these individuals as active combatants. Be advised that non-combatants may be amongst those left behind by the Scrappers Guild. Ensure that you identify your targets before engaging.
The Wargames

Long-abandoned facilities throughout the area are slowly being reconfigured for use as grounds for Republic Wargames, a simulated environment in which troopers may test their mettle against one another to ensure that their skills remain sharp while stationed on Anaxes. There have been scarce reports of both Separatist and Pirate activity in some of these facilities, but these reports have been few and far between.

The wargames are a heavy work in progress. It's going to take time to iron out a fun, balanced set of PVP arenas for us to use, so if you have any issues with the maps please let me know. Over time, I want to add more game types and rewards to the Wargames to make it an even more engaging experience.
