Rakghoul Event on Tatooine

Those of us who logged into the fleet this morning were surprised with some super secret stealth news bulletin about a Rakgoul outbreak on Tatooine.  Translation: surprise new daily area!

It seems that there's two groups of quests for Rakghoul DNA Samples, one batch of quests in the northeast of the Dune Sea followed by another set at the far east of the planet.  The DNA samples which are used as currency for a vendor that can be found a little north of the Dune Sea event area (open your map and click the vendor dot on the left if you can't find it).

The main quests seem to give ~15 Rakghoul DNA Samples, but there appear to be other ways to get them.  There's an additional quest to infect 10 players, but it's not clear how exactly you go about doing this.  You also reportedly get 5 DNA Samples when your infection progresses to the point where you explode, but it's also not clear how this works.

But most importantly, the vendor has Black-Green color crystals!  Gotsta get that shit asap.  The samples aren't BoP and are possibly tradeable, so I'm gonna run 'em on several of my alts.

Update 1: Main quests give 10.  It seems you get 5 samples every time you die while with the Feverish debuff?  Which seems to progress from Lightheaded after a certain amount of time?

Update 2: There's three world bosses you can reportedly kill for a title, we're working on the one by the Sarlacc pit.  The normal world boss is reportedly replaced with a level 50 infected version.

Update 3: Confirming the observations in Update 1; you can receive the infection from either an infected enemy or an infected player that blows up.  You start with Lightheaded and after some time it progresses to Feverish.  At Feverish you can either die or wait longer and you'll blow up and get 5 Rakghoul DNA Samples.  The debuffs seem to bug out sometimes (it seems to for sure if you log out) and doesn't progress, in which case you can correct it by using the vaccine (which you can buy from the event vendor).

There's also another mini-quest line that starts at the news screens just outside the airport.  From there you need to head north to find a crashed escape pod buried in the wall along the road running up the west side.  Then go to a box of medical supplies at the north-middle-ish of Mos Ila.  Then go to the kiosk near the speeder north of Mos Ila to start the quest to find 12 Stardream Wreckage pieces.

Update 4: The quest above ultimately rewards a Crimson Rakling pet (which is different from the Pale Rackling available from the event vendor).

Update 5: The color crystals are, sadly, not RE-able for a recipe.
