Probably a Live Event.
Or not.

You are correct. What happened was during act 3, rebels would eventually get a wp to Leia. these were static spawns on each of the high level planets (endor, lok, dant, yavin..etc). Leia will give you a mission to go and protect aresearch factory or something to that effect from waves of storm troopers that will try and destroy the factory. The factory is supposed to be where dr. vacca's (who in act 2 turned to help the rebels due to the rebels winning the act 2 story arc), research was being done to find a new ingredient to replace the alderaan flower (whichcan no longer be acquired due tothe planet alderaan beingblown up by the death star) which wasusedto make the rare stims that improves soldeirs accuracy during combat. these stims were only craftable by recieving a schematic with limited use (3), these schematics were acquired in either arc 2 or 3 of the three story arcs (I forget how or who to get them from, but you can no longer get them to my knowledge). I actually still have 2 uses left on my schematic which is still in my datapad...I haven't been able to find anymore alderaan flowers to make another stim and the story arc's got cancelled and they won't be doing anymore in the near future....so there was never an ingredient made to replace the alderaan flower. Of course the empire wanted the technology to produce better storm troopers and the rebels wanted to deny the empire this luxury. So Act 3 was the last part of the monthly story arc that was produced. actually it was called a monthly story arc, but each part of the story got published like every 3 months or so....I guess it was hard for the devs to maintain the current game, deal with JTL, player cities, mounts, vehicles, jedi revamp at the same time while keeping a monthly story arc up and going....so they cancelled it.
Plus it was a major disadvantage for the imperials to win the story arc at one point because it was based on how many members of each faction actually completed the missions. The faction that finished the most missions won the current story arc for their faction. The rebels won both act 1 and act 2 due to having more rebels on the servers than there were imperials. I beleive in act 3 is when the devs changed it so that the faction with the highest percentage of players in their faction that completed their respective quest would win the current story arc. The devs never announced who won the 3rd story arc to my knowledge...or maybe I just missed it.
So the leia spawns people see on different planets are left over from the act 3 monthly story arcs the devs put in the game back inthe last quarter of2003 and the first quarter of 2004 (so about 6 - 9 months or so the story arc's went on). They just never took the spawns out of the game. From my understanding, you can still do the act 3, but I"m not 100% sure on this.
So this is the story behind all those Leia sightings on different planets when she's obviously at the hidden rebel base on corellia.

The flora schem is bought from faction recruiters and could still be bought last I checked, the Rebels won the story arc(can be found partway down the page here, you can still do act 3, and you can get flora by doing more warehouse missions from one of the tactical officers, however I'm fairly sure that you can't use the flora to craft more Deadeye because it doesn't have a serial number.

hehe, yeah a lot of stuff....just for those that started playing the game after act 3 was done....they are the ones who ask about Leia the most. So thought I'd give them a little background on what they missed...(at least what I could remember off the top of my head 
)
Thanks for refreshing my memory though...it's been so long ago, I forgot a lot of stuff.....for instance I can't remember anything specific from act 2 except when I had to walk from one end of lok to the other end to talk to the commander there and go to a waypoint and kill 4 ST's and an imperial officer to get the key and get in the tower....other than that, I can't remember the rest.
