History: Zastiga was a tumbledown trade world near the edge of the Outer Rim, on the fringes of the galaxy, and rarely visited by the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. But the Ashlon Empire grew desperate for raw materials and selected this system due to its proximity to Terminus and its abundance of Zersium, an ore critical for the creation of durasteel.

Zastiga’s heyday had come and gone when the Republic was young. The planet was covered with eroded ruins, interrupted here and there by patches of modern construction. As Ashlon forces settled into an old Rebel safe house, a splinter group of Maul’s former Mandalorian fanatics ambushed the survey team, marking the beginning of the battle for Zastiga.

Having tracked down Maximilian Veers in hiding on a backwater world in the Outer Rim, Emperor Ashlon offered the disgraced general a high-ranking position in his army, recognizing his true worth. As Grand General, Veers would help crush the Mandalorians and secure the resources the Ashlon Empire desperately needed.

Objective: Extract Zersium and eliminate the Mandalorian threat.
