The Republic on the Rise
A missive to the Jedi Order, issued by the restored Jedi High Council based on Jedha:
Since its inception, the Republic and the Jedi Order have been natural allies in the Core Worlds.
The Republic's commitment to freedom and democracy best represents Jedi ideals, but since the end of the Hundred-Year Darkness, it has retreated from galactic affairs to repair the infrastructure damaged during the war.
With the recent political turmoil on Alderaan and our dark brethren increasingly becoming more organized, the anxious Republic Senate has reached out to us and called for our aid once again.
If the Jedi Order is to survive the inevitable resumption of conflict, we need a strong Republic at our side. We must do everything within our power to ensure stability in the Republic so that we may resume the diplomatic ties we enjoyed during the war.
This operation is paramount and the mission of all Jedi in the Order: help the Republic in whatever way you can. The time is soon coming when we will need their help again...
— Grand Master Cadef Sige
Balmorra on the Brink
Some say the war never ended on Balmorra. A critical world, which developed much of the Republic wartime technology during the early phases of the war, it quickly became the target of Exile and Hutt activities, both of whom sought to paint the planet their colors in order to gain access to their weapon facilities.
But there are no political back dealings taking place here; the Republic is fighting a two-front war as both a cell of Exiles, led by the Warlord Ryras Nur, and a mercenary paramilitary force led by Balla Desijilic Tiure, bombard cities and Republic military bases (and, occasionally, each other) in their struggle for supremacy over the planet. As a result, the Republic has been forced behind the citywide shield network protecting Sobrik and a hidden military research facility called Bugtown.
It is the wish of the Jedi Council that Jedi wishing to help the Republic focus their efforts on retaking two critical positions on Balmorra: Base 11A, a massive and well-protected military bunker which the Exile cult is currently holed up in, and Bin Prime, the planet's capital city, which has fallen under the sway of the Hutts and is the central base of their mercenary army. Winning back these two critical positions should turn the tide of the battle there and ensure that the planet stays firmly within the Republic's fold. A warning, though, that any Jedi traveling into this warzone should expect heavy resistance and extreme danger.
An Influential Side Quest
Additionally, any other mission (thread or plot) undertaken to aid the Republic on its other worlds would go towards the Jedi Order's influence with the Republic. Succeed and aid the Republic and watch as the relations between the Order and the Republic blossom until their friendship returns. But beware: Fail or harm the Republic in some way, and the Order's influence with the Republic will drop and we will risk losing this critical friendship as we move closer and closer to war.
