OPERATION: ASCLEPIUS 

[The rasp of Lord Vipion's voice is heard.]

“Outpost Theta, located in the lower urban ruins of Taris, recently ceased all communication following a series of distress signals reporting. Initial reports suggest the attackers displayed signs of Rakghoul infection, including erratic behavior, severe physical mutations, and hyper-aggression. Rakghouls are known to spread their infection through bites, rapidly transforming victims into more of their kind.”

[A common artistic rendition of Rakghouls is displayed.]

“Contacts in Scientific Advancement know me from earlier days, where I helped to repel a Rakghoul infection from a Czerka facility. I am one of the few Imperial producers of the old version of Rakghoul vaccines, and currently they do not work. This makes the threat extremely grave to any who attend this, but those who risk their lives will be rewarded.”


“I require a single, dedicated leader, whether it be Imperial or Sith. The number of Sith who attend will depend on how many Imperials wish to attend. “

"If you find Rakghouls, -leave-. This is a scouting mission, not a rescue mission."

THREAT ASSESSMENT

• Rakghoul Infection: Highly contagious via bite or scratch. Victims transform within hours, depending on their immunity and exposure level. The Rakghoul plague is one of the most virulent threats in the galaxy. Exercise extreme caution. WE DO NOT CURRENTLY POSSESS EFFECTIVE VACCINES. BITES ARE FATAL, ALWAYS.
  
• Environmental Risks: Taris’ lower levels are hazardous, with unstable structures, poor visibility, and potentially hostile wildlife.
  
• Survivors: Panicked or wounded personnel may act unpredictably, requiring careful handling.
  
• Infected Individuals: Must be considered hostile. Lethal force is authorized to prevent further transmission.
  
• Uninfected Survivors: Isolate and provide them with supplies for survival where possible.
  

---

Primary Objective:

• Investigate and confirm the presence of Rakghoul infection at Outpost Theta, a medical installation on the planet Taris. If confirmed, extract immediately.
  

Secondary Objectives:

• IF CONFIRMED: Leave.
  
• IF DENIED: Contain and neutralize any threats encountered.
  

Tertiary Objectives:
TO BE DISCUSSED WITH LORD VIPION PRIVATELY.
