The FINAL FANTASY XI development team created the "Assault" system to provide a means of casual enjoyment for high-level players--the main target audience of the Treasures of Aht Urhgan expansion disc. Assault allows for parties of three to six members to enjoy gameplay that does not last a long period of time and requires little recruitment effort. Players can choose the location, decide whether or not to impose a level restriction, and select the type of Assault mission to fit with their objectives and party organization.

Players who often participate in Assault missions will earn "Imperial Standing" credits, which can be traded for items in the various Assault locations. In addition, players who succeed in an Assault mission have the possibility of obtaining a mysterious item. After receiving an appraisal in town, the mysterious item will then be displayed as a normal item.

Repeat success in Assault will also raise your mercenary rank, which will even further increase the number and variety of available Assault missions!

This is sort of a new conquest system. And probably more manageable than the expenditionary force or garrison quests. If I had some time for this I would probably do it.

...holy crap, I don't even know what to make of this. It seems REALLY cool though. I can't wait to see what kinds of crazy-awesome items come out of this one... let alone what kinds of assualt missions they come up with. It has a lot of potential to be really freaking cool.
