This will be the November mission chain that was detailed at CitCon. I have timestamped the video to the start of that segment:
55:15 Something Wicked This Way Comes

It shows the QV Services stations, the docked Polaris and the nearby asteroid bases where the action will take place. It's basically Onyx facilities in space/as a space station. But unlike Onyx which will eventually be implemented as a single facility when instancing goes in, I think they want to leave these as multiple stations spread throughout the system, which does make sense.
And then I think for December they plan to give us the TSG event, whatever its final name ends up being, which will be in the vein of Frontier Fighters Finale, Resource Drive, etc., and which is easier for them to implement because it doesn't require a new location.
That's their MO now: one month with a cinematic permanent mission chain/"sandbox activity" based in a new location, and the next month a more lightweight temporary event that is however heavy on grinding but gives FOMO web account rewards to compel you to complete them.
It's not a bad plan at all, and I can't wait to start playing Sworn Enemies which I am guessing will launch less than a month from now, on November 20 at the start of IAE 2955.
