UPDATE (4/20/12):  No new mission was added today, and as the complete Containment Officer gear set can be acquired through the previous days' quests, it appears that all of the missions associated with the event have been released as of 4/19/12

UPDATE (4/19/12):  A new mission [DAILY] Newly Infected was added today and awards a fifth piece of the Containment Officer set (chest OR belt).

UPDATE (4/18/12):  A new mission [DAILY] Pure Virus Sample was added today and awards a fourth piece of the Containment Officer set (helmet).

UPDATE (4/17/12):  BioWare reveals the end date of the Rakghoul Outbreak as April 24th at 2AM CDT (12AM PDT/3AM EDT/8AM BST/9AM CEST/5PM AEST).

UPDATE (4/17/12): A new mission [DAILY] Hybrid Strain was added today and awards a third piece of the Containment Officer set (legs). A small patch was also implemented to address the issue some players were having with the Urtagh world boss Codex entry, preventing them from receiving the event title:

BioWareAn issue that prevented players from receiving the final Codex entry for the event has been corrected. Players that previously defeated Urtagh but did not receive the Codex entry and associated title will need to defeat the boss again in order to obtain it.

UPDATE (4/16/12): A new mission [DAILY] Passenger List was added to the event today and awards a second piece of the Containment Officer orange gear set. The game files list a total of 6 pieces in this set and if the pattern of adding one additional quest per day with an additional piece of Containment gear as a reward continues, we can assume the Rakghoul Pandemic event will last through at least Friday, 4/20/12.

In case you missed the news, the first ever Star Wars: The Old Republic world event went live on servers yesterday and as of this writing, continues in full swing. A Rakghoul pandemic has erupted amongst the sands of Tatooine and threatens to spread rapidly throughout the galaxy, or at least your local faction fleet station. If you've noticed players standing in close proximity to one another exhausting toxic fumes and exploding in a violent green mess of gooey bio-contamination, you've had your first taste of this limited-run outbreak without ever having to leave the comforts of your sterile high-orbit social hub. But if you've yet to hop in your starship and make the run to Tatooine, now's the time before the curtains close on this most virulent occurence and all the fun goodies (and world PvP!) that come along with it. Oh, had I not yet mentioned the Black-Green color crystals, Rakghoul pets, title, Containment Officer gear and new infected companion customizations? Well, read on for everything you need to know while the getting's still good.
