Thread: Lady Valarian vs. Jabba the Hutt
She runs a large criminal operation that revolves around gambling and smuggling. Being Jabba the Hutt's biggest competitor on Tatooine, going on this quest will gain you the slightest bit of trust from Lady Valarian, hoping to gain an edge against Jabba. As you dodge and parry your way through the streets and desserts of Tatooine, you will find yourself in between two of Lady Valarian's henchmen: Ind and Kavas.
Kavas is in charge of Valarian's smuggling operation. She is very good at her job but she is suspected of working with a minor street gang that is up to no good. Valarian has started to wonder about some missing shipments and about complaints of sub-standard goods.
Ind doesn't like Kavas and they have been squabbling. Ind has been making threats against Kavas and is just looking for a reason to get into a scrap with him. Lady Valarian has had enough of this in-fighting and she is looking for someone to help her get to the bottom of things.
To get Valarian's attention elsewhere Kavas has decided to frame Ind. Ind has an inclining of this threat and wants to get the dirt on Kavas before Kavas can poison Valarian against her.
I'm in the Validian freelancer training. and I tried to get a mission from her goons. The one sent me to Kavas, who tells me I need more of a reputation before they give me anything to do. UGH. Maybe they will SOON give me something to do.. prehaps smuggle something?? hmm??? Devs???? anyone?? All knowing, All powerful force??? Smuggling pleeeeeease??!!

Hehe, the Valarian quests... those are another example of SOE's "We'll remove it from the game while we're working on fixing it, but it will be back soon, promise" style of content improvement (battlefields and FRS also come to mind, although I couldn't care less about the latter one).
FWIW, it was announced in early July or so that the Valarian quests would be disabled and be brought back in a few weeks (I think they mentioned either Publish 22 or Publish 23 as target date). They were finally switched off (or were they? Haven't checked myself) and haven't been heard of since...
If we ever see them again at all, I'd be surprised if they return before the end of the year.
