Sith Marauder is going to be required in platoons before he is even released.

Issue appears to have been addressed and rectified. Closing thread - if further discussion is necessary about SM's specific functionality during this event, please PM me for reopening the thread.

Thanks @scuba for bringing attention to this issue! I'm sure you saved a lot of people (staff, players, forum members, etc.) a lot of energy and headaches by bringing this awareness!
