The next Invasion of the Sith's conquest of the Republic features CARIDA. It is the first part of a two Invasion series known as Operation: Downfall. Completion of the Invasion of Carida will put the One Sith in position to remove nearly all of the Republic's sphere of influence.
The initial focus in the Invasion will be in space in order to neutralize the new Supreme Chancellor of the Republic, POPO. Imperial Intelligence has discovered will goaded into participating in the battle. As the saying goes, "Cut off the serpent's head to kill it." I would like it if One Sith members commanding starships to only focus on their flagship rather than trying to play the numbers game. Also, attempting to board Republic ships is also a very valid tactic to defeat Popo - as personal confrontation is likely a situation the character would be ill-suited for.
Once the One Sith have dominated the Republic's fleet, focus will shift to the ground. As the attackers, we can take our time in neutralizing Popo as it is the defending Republic's duty to react to us. Getting to the ground is not an objective that needs to be rushed. The ground targets will be determined mid-Invasion.
If you have other plans with your character, you are free to act as you wish so long as it would benefit the One Sith. All I ask is for you to participate and enjoy the experience. Build the most convincing story you can of the One Sith's ferocious strength.
The Invasion of Carida begins Friday, June 20, at 7:00p ET.
