The event is now LIVE!

  
UPDATE: The event is not yet live as of August 13th 2012. at 11AM PST.
  
We have just learned that the Chevin are making their move and that their presence will soon be felt on the Smuggler’s Moon, Nar Shaddaa. The only hint we have is this Imperial News Network clip.

  
From the data-mined information we presume that there will be a race you can participate in. You will be able to choose whether you will run the race for Chevin, Empire or the Republic and based on which faction you represent you will get an appropriate title as well as an achievement unlock for participating in the event and probably completing something along the way. Here are the links to Codex unlocks datamined from the event:
  

• The Chevin Conglomerate: The Grand Acquisitions Race
• SIS Freelancer (title)
• Imperial Loyalist (title)
• Capable Sentient (title)

  
Here’s the official word on the event released along with the above teaser video:

For a short time only, The Chevin Conglomerate is offering great riches to anyone who brings them rare and unique items. Scattered across all parts of the galaxy, these items must be retrieved before the Chevin return to their home in the furthest reaches of the Outer Rim! Be cautious as some within both the Republic and Imperial governments wonder if there is something more sinister driving the Chevin and their quest to acquire these goods…
