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.
