Bastion of Resistance
Separated by a relatively large stretch of space, the planets of Ord Mantell and Corsin find themselves very alike in one aspect above all others; they are very aware of their precarious position. Ord Mantell still bares the scars (under metric tons of scrapyards, of course) of ancient battles with the Sith and Corsin remembers well the actions of Neo-Crusaders from Mandalore landing upon their shores.
Neither wants to be absorbed by the Sith, the Mandalorians or the ineffective FWA - but both want more protection than they can offer their citizens on their own. The looser structure of the Jedi Resistance's web of defensive military alliances allows them the freedom of governance while giving them access to the Jedi and allies to back them in a fight if it comes to it.
They stand as two titans of industry and commerce along two of the most established trade routes in the Galaxy - they know a fight will come to them.
They ask the Jedi and their allies to ensure they are prepared for when it does.
Mission 1 - Ord Mantell Planetside - Beauty and the Beast
As most planets worth their salt do, Ord Mantell has a planetary shield generator strong enough to protect several of their major cities from all but the most sustained bombardments. What it also has is a pair of defence cannons nicknamed Beauty and Beast. "Beast" is a HVS-2 Hypervelocity Gun and "Beauty" is a V-150 Planet Defender, a planetary defence Ion Cannon.
They area, however, out of use at the moment as both sit within an area some distance from the capital city built into a mountain that overlooks said city. The area in question is contested land between the planetary government and a nomadic collection of raiders known as Ynx's Boys. As engineering crews from Ord Mantell's defence forces get the cannons, and their own anti-personnel autoturrets, up and running again, it is up to the Jedi and their allies to hold off Ynx's Boys and their attacks.

Mission 2 - Ord Mantell Space - Links in a Chain
Ord Mantell is situated at an intersection between two trade routes, the Celanon Spur and the Entralla Route. Because of this, during more overtly prosperous times, the system was heavily protected by both the Republic and the Empire. An investment was made into protecting Ord Mantell in the form of a defence grid made of twelve XQ-5 Platforms, all linked by communication satellites and manned by a mixture of droids and organics.
One of the stations in the chain, Platform E, has recently suffered something of a mutiny by the security droids who were stationed there to supplement a 'marine' detachment. The droids in question have taken hostages but appear to have gained some measure of sentience, hold the hostages comfortably and their demands are simple; pay equivalent to their organic counterparts and the right to choose to leave the role should they desire.
The local defence forces want this dealt with one way or another and a diplomatic envoy of Jedi are agreed to be sent to the station to agree terms. It is up to the Jedi in question whether or not this is Lightsaber-dipomacy or not.

Mission 3 - Corsin Planetside - Young Bloods
Corsin is, in comparison to Ord Mantell, something of a cultural and economic paradise. With clean cities and an economy in full bloom rather than slow decline, there isn't much that the people of Corsin actually want for. However, a gang of young swoop bikers have been causing havok over the last few weeks, diving and swooping across traffic routes used for the defence stockpiling of the planetary government.
They are too quick and too skilled as pilots to be caught by the regular police so the people of Corsin turn to the Jedi to speak to these teens, these kids, and impress upon them the need to change their ways or, at the very least, their choice of route. Perhaps they can be more but that is something for the Jedi on the ground to decide.

Mission 4 - Corsin Space - Merchant Naval Duties
Have you ever wondered how starship manufacturers get their products to their buyers? Capital ships, after all, are crew intensive and several of them in a delivery batch are even more so. Rather than crew all of the ships and have them make the jumps to lightspeed separately, their systems are instead slaved to a large freight hauler who 'tugs' them along with it to the destination. Corsin defence forces have placed an order with Starfeld Industries to buy several of their SC-32 "Screw" Frigates and Shogun-Class Carriers, but the convoy of unarmed Brayl-Class Bulk Freighters have reported resistance along the route.
Their escort ships have been whittled down by near constant pirate attacks as it seems that their travel route was cracked by a pirate gang looking to make a big score by ransoming the ships back to Corsin, obviously after keeping a few for themselves. Suit up, Jedi, you're going in hot and you're going in hard. Stop the pirate attack already in progress and escort those ships to their destination.
