The secret about the Maldive system? [SPOILERS]

[Vorkaal]

I'm convince this place has some kind of secret to it.
First off, it's very unique being a neutral world within the borders of the Inner Sphere. It's completely surrounded by either Liao or Davion territory.
Second, the reputation requirements for these missions are outrageous.

I'm full allied with both Davion and Liao, and 900 Merc rep, and both of them have rep blocked missions. Just how much rep do I need for these missions???

I hope there is some super secret here, and it's not just a bug...

This planet is the setting of the new kickstarter reward Stackpole novel. Maybe the missions will unlock after the last part of the novel is released?

According to the Sarna wiki, the system disappeared off the maps after the Third Succession War, essentially the last big Inner Sphere War before the game starts. That and it being related to that novel could be signs that the system is gonna feature in some kind of future additional campaign. Knowing nothing about the novel, I'm hoping that it will become a home base of sorts for our mercenary company in the future, as I and I'm sure others would like to be able to lead our mercenary companies to that kind of level of success.

Maldive will be in the final novella by Stackpole right ?
Guess there is something big there eh

Still trying to get enough rep for the locked mission here...
I wonder if the planet has information in the game files that might shed light on why it's so special.
