SPECIAL CALL FOR MISSION LEADS


Attached to this file would be a prerecorded holomessage that, when selected, would begin to play. The top half of Sith Vipion is present, hands clasped into her sleeves. With little delay, she begins to speak.


”Orsus is a highly populated planet with vast resources and people available, and with its proximity and recent occupation by the Republic there are rebellious factors throughout the planet that must be eliminated if the Empire is to maintain its grasp upon the planet. Keeping any rebellion controlled remains paramount, along with gaining intelligence on the various external factors that may be influencing this rebellion.

This is a loose end that cannot be left untied. The Republic has been making gains in the Northern Territories, and we must maintain our grasp. To this end there will be missions posted in order to aid with these goals. Those who wish to show initiative in this matter may seek me out. They will be responsible for organizing these missions and determining the parameters. Gather the people and present a plan to me; if acceptable, I will grant the mission to you.

Once these missions are complete, we will be able to determine our next course of action.”

The image fades at that.


MISSION 1: Mos Kaleehi

One of the more egregious examples is an individual known only as "Harvia", having evaded us by refusing to meet with outside parties repeatedly. Reclusive and indirect, they are related to bombings, sabotage, and they also seem to be collecting intelligence against us. We have finally found a lead in the form of the tunnel system under the metropolis and acquired an access point through a civilian home.

This mission is as follows: when we catch word that this access point has been used, you are to follow, enter these tunnels and hunt down this leader and bring them to the powerbase. They must be brought back alive, so prepare accordingly. While you are down there, you are to acquire as much data as possible, and save it from destruction too.

Objectives:
The following objectives are required for success:

OBJECTIVE 1: Enter the tunnels. Silence the family that lives above it in whatever matter you deem necessary- ensure they cannot call for help or alert the rebels.

OBJECTIVE 2: Follow the trail and capture Harvia.

OBJECTIVE 3: Gather as much information as you can.


MISSION 2: Vayek Vipion

The tram system of Orsus holds multiple weak points, and both intelligence and common sense suggest that it is an important strategic target for rebels. Evris Ila, an architect that has constructed similar systems in other locations, has been receiving messages from a rebel-aligned frequency that have been intercepted by us. He currently resides on the 17th floor of a skyscraper building that has been relatively undamaged; this building is considered a more seedy location, and there are potential links to local gangs in the floor below.

The mission is as follows: infiltrate this building, extricate Evris Ila, and discern the truth of the matter.
Objectives:
The following objectives are required for success:

OBJECTIVE 1: Find Evris Ila without him setting off any alarms.

OBJECTIVE 2: Determine his allegiances by whatever means necessary.

OBJECTIVE 3: If he is on our side, establish contact with him. If he has turned traitor, capture him and bring him in alive.


MISSION 3: Esme Roi

A gala is happening on the surface of Orsus, and we have caught word of an attempted assassination on Vari Garin, who is an influential and popular businesswoman, native to Orsus, with known Imperial sympathies. Rather than alert her, we have decided to ensure that this attempt occurs unsuccessfully, and the would-be assassins are captured, preferably alive. After saving the day, the powerbase should be able to lean on her and her resources below, and the information from these would-be killers would be invaluable.

This is not meant to be a quiet action; the failure of this attempt, and the attempt itself, should be well-known.
Objectives:
The following objectives are required for success:

OBJECTIVE 1: Attend the gala and prevent Vari Garin’s assassination.

OBJECTIVE 2: Capture the assassins, preferably alive.

OBJECTIVE 3: Make a show of this prevention.


MISSION 4: Leviathan Squad

The location of a rebellion communications node was discovered by a pair of agents known as “Frali” and her partner “Aliur” in an area of allegedly abandoned warehouses, once more accessible through the underground tunnels. One week ago, Frali went missing, and her partner was handed a ransom note that demands his presence back in that warehouse along with a sum of credits. Frali is suspected to reside in this same building.

This is almost certainly a trap, but we are going to spring it with a significant amount of force behind it. Frali is a helpful resource if she isn’t dead, and so will be her captors.

Intelligence suggests that the leader of this attempt is one of the main rebellion leaders. All we know is that they are a twi’lek, so do not kill the twi’leks.
Objectives:
The following objectives are required for success:

OBJECTIVE 1: Rendezvous with Agent Aliur and work out a plan.

OBJECTIVE 2: Disrupt the proceedings decisively and capture whoever this “twi’lek leader” is; kill or capture whatever is left.

OBJECTIVE 3: Recover Agent Frali in whatever state she may be in.

UPDATE: VAYEK VIPION

Orsus Mission 2

Mission Objectives:

OBJECTIVE 1: Find Evris Ila without him setting off any alarms.

OBJECTIVE 2: Determine his allegiances by whatever means necessary.

OBJECTIVE 3: If he is on our side, establish contact with him. If he has turned traitor, capture him and bring him in alive.

Mission Leader:
Apprentice Vayek Vipion

Mission Participants:
Sith Zynn
Apprentice Rhave Vipion
Apprentice Tenacitious

Mission Progression:

For this mission to find and grab Evris Ila a team all with capability in stealth was chosen with intent. We already had the adress of the engineer Evris Ila. We landed further away and approached by tram getting a more first hand view of the believed target by the rebel terrorists. Tenacitious however donned a doctor's apparel, which proved quite useful. The apartment block of Ila's residence appeared mostly left alone by imperial authorities and infested with street thugs. Tenacitious distracted the lingering mob as they wished to mug him for medicine, and opportunity I exploited to get us into a side entrance and disable the nearby surveillance. With Rhave managing to have the mob leave we went for a quick entry before they might return in bigger numbers. Rather on Sith Zynns urging we took the stairways to the 17th floor to avoid any detection by elevator and it allowed us to remain unnoticed, spotting a substance abuser or two.

Lockpicking the engineer's apartment door we found him on the floor injured and in a state of drug use. Tenacitious kept up the role of a doctor to gain his trust, Rhave kept watch and I myself downloaded plans and schematics off the Tram system on his terminal. This did however trigger an alarm and two guards came looking. We quickly neutralized them and on Sith Zynn's urging I sliced in and trapped the elevator between floors as we took the guards and the engineer with us as prisoners. It's to be noted my master showed good judgement and leadership. With their reinforcements held up we managed to vacate the building until we were attacked by thugs out in the street. They were no match for us as we linked up with local imperial authorities. With a lockdown of the tram system we arranged for armed escort for our prisoners.

Addendum:

With the prisoners and the engineer secured Sith Zynn and I conducted an interrogation learning more of the rebel terrorists and their plans to target the tram system by targeting it's magnetics. Evris was hesitant but came around to our view of thinking as we saved his life and offered a chance to rebuild on Orsus in imperial reign, he was grateful but uneased by us. The prisoners divulged enough information for Sith Zynn and I to return to Orsus and ambush a meeting of these rebels. We learned their tactic will include placing bombs at night in various tram stations along the system. After having neutralized them we had them arrested but some of the imperials ran away as well. It could be they are in league with the rebels. The Rebel's ID papers noted them as residents of that same apartment building we had gone to previously. I managed to trace and save their comms call history and slice into their comms. Notably it was mostly silent with a series of numbers repeating. 729575. I also managed to sense an psychometric echo from one of the rebels. I have heard and felt the name of a Jedi Master Arach behind this. It may be far more insidious a plot than we first believed merely finding smuggled goods months ago.

Mission Report – Orsus I - Leviathan Assignment

Mission Team:

Sergeant Trisdane (Jumptrooper) - Squad Lead
Specialist Mays (CQC)
Specialist Rennab (Demolitions)
Specialist Kienix (Imperial Coordinator)
Private Drak'Far (Specialist Trial - Marksman)

Mission brief:

Liaise with Agent Aliur on Orsus and formulate a plan to rescue Agent Frali from the rebels that had captured her. Intelligence suggested 10-15 hostiles with Frali kept on the upper floor, the leader of the rebels was an unknown Twi'lek, so all Twi'lek were to be taken alive. Private Drak'Far's objective was to identify Twi'lek and subdue them with non-lethal shots.

A plan was formulated to fake a negotiation, getting the Strike team close to the warehouse where Frali was held. Rennab, Kienix and Drak'Far would breach from the lower level whilst myself and Mays breached through the skylight to secure the target.

Detailed Report:

We approached the warehouse without resistance but we came under sniper fire the moment Rennab activated his breach charges. Grenades were thrown into the opening on both the ground floor and skylight but the first grenades were disrupted by an unknown element, which will be discussed at the end of this report. See - Additional Observations.

The second grenades were deployed without interference and both teams inserted with force. The hostiles on the upper balcony were quickly dispatched by myself and Specialist Mays whilst Rennab's team encountered some resistance.

With the balcony cleared, and the objective sighted in the upper room, we focused fire on hostiles below to ease the insertion on the ground floor level.

A smoke was deployed in the room with Agent Frali so, using thermals, all three individuals within the room were stunned as identification of each was made significantly harder.

Specialist Rennab's team cleared the ground floor, moving towards the ramp. Unfortunately, a rebel had concealed themselves out of view of us all and emerged with their scatterblaster. The following shot dealt significant damage to Specialist Rennab and left him in a critical condition.

With the warehouse cleared we gathered all Twi'lek captives and moved to the room where Agent Frali was held, revealing a displaced table and sewer entrance. Specialist Mays and Private Drak'far helped with the extraction of all Twi'lek prisoners and the two agents whilst myself and Specialist Kienix investigated the anomaly mentioned earlier.

Additional Observations:

Two devices were recovered and turned into the Quartermaster. It was a small, magnetic, device protected by a small personal shield. It contains four motion sensors and one small turret that enabled it to rapidly identify projectiles and disable them. A highly viscous liquid was fired at the grenades, entirely enveloping them, and rendering them ineffective. The device needed to recharge, allowing secondary grenades to pass through.



Injuries:

Specialist Rennab - Close quarter scattershot fire. Two days recovery.

Commendations:

Private Drak'far received my written commendation as an NCO and was thusly promoted to Specialist.

Specialist Rennab - Purple Heart I - I recommend that Specialist Rennab is issued with the Purple Heart medal for receiving injuries, a partially collapsed lung, in the field of duty.

Mission Report – Orsus I - Supply Raid

Mission Team:

Sergeant Trisdane (Jumptrooper) - Squad Lead, Fireteam Aurek Lead
Private Chalare (Specialist Trial - CQC) - Fireteam Aurek
Private Sixtus - Fireteam Aurek

Specialist Mays (CQC) - Fireteam Besh, Leadership Trial
Specialist Kienix (Coordinator)
Specialist Drak'Far (Marksman)

Mission brief:

Intel was provided by Agents Aliur and Frali of a rebel supply convoy moving between compounds. The intel was provided as a thanks for Leviathan's assistance, allowing us to seize whatever the convoy carried for the Horuset Powerbase.

The abandoned settlement provided the perfect setting for an ambush, a road moving between two elevated positions on either side with buildings and ample cover. Fireteams Aurek and Besh set up on either side of the road.

Detailed Report:

With the Fireteams divided and deployed we waited until given the mark to initiate the ambush. Specialist Kienix showed good initiative in deploying his mouse droid to provide advanced intel on the convoy. Three hover loaders, two loaded with crates and the first covered in a tarp - a troop transport.

The order to fire was given once all three transports entered the designated 'kill zone'. Specialist Drak'Far utilised his marksman rifle to pick off the front drivers whilst I rapidly deployed via jetpack to eliminate the rear driver and passenger. Specialists Mays and Kienix deployed from the flank, suppressing the centre of the column and Privates Chalare and Sixtus deployed from the opposite flank. Trapping the convoy in a pincer movement.

The convoy was caught off-guard and the soldiers who deployed from the transport were rapidly eliminated, it was over in a matter of seconds.

Injuries:

No notable injuries were sustained, Private Sixtus received some minor damage to their cybernetic arm.

Assets Gained:

1x hover loader, troop transport configuration
1x hover loader, loaded with crates of weapons, munitions and ordnance
1x hover loader, loaded with crates of food, medical and stims supplies
15x recovered blaster rifles
15x recovered blaster pistols

All assets have been turned over to the Quartermaster Division for inspection and re-distribution.

Commendations:

Specialist Mays performed well as a Squad Lead, showing an ability to adapt in the field and an improvement from his last leadership Trial. I consider this Trial to be a success.

Private Chalare showed confidence and a willingness to engage in close quarters combat. I considered her Specialist Trial to be a success and promoted her to Specialist accordingly.

Commendation Recommendations:

Specialist Mays - Having already issued Mays with my own written commendation I recommend that Major Koren considers providing his own, if he finds my report to be sufficient, and promotes the soldier to the rank of Corporal if he deems him capable of the position and responsibility.

Specialist Kienix - Special Service Medal I - Specialist Kienix has, yet again, shown a good initiative as an Imperial Coordinator. Utilising his mouse droid to provide advanced intel in the field and improve the deployment's likelihood of success.

Sergeant Trisdane - Authoritative Commander Medal II - Tonight's mission was the third mission I have led with no disobedience or injuries. Ensign Rees, prior to her departure, wished to see multiple instances of this before awarding the medal as the missions have been of a smaller nature - as was tonight's.

For The Empire,

UPDATE: MOS KALEEHI

Orsus Mission 1

Mission Objectives:

OBJECTIVE 1: Enter the tunnels. Silence the family that lives above it in whatever matter you deem necessary - ensure they cannot call for help or alert the rebels.

OBJECTIVE 2: Follow the trail and capture Harvia.

OBJECTIVE 3: Gather as much information as you can.

Mission Leader:
Apprentice Mos Kaleehi

Mission Participants:
Apprentice Vayek Vipion
Apprentice Emlar Racta
Sergeant Trisdane
Specialist Dew

Mission Progression:

We landed at the designated Area on Orsus along with the Sons of Orsus Guard who I promptly ordered to circle the area and wait for further orders if needed. After approaching the building the intel suggested, we heard incoming speeders and hid in a nearby ditch as I ordered Apprentice Vipion to stay out with his stealth field generator and observe the incoming speeders. A group of about 10 insurgents arrived that quickly entered the building and after Apprentice Vipion made sure we are clear to approach we did. He inserted a dataspike to slice open the door and as we breached Sergeant Trisdane disabled the radar dish on the roof.
Inside we made quick work of the family on the upper level that turned out to be insurgents themselves armed with blasters, fulfilling Objective 1. We then followed the path downstairs into the tunnels. The actual entrance into the tunnels was sealed off and with the help of Specialist Dew and Sergeant Trisdane could be swiftly breached once more. As we moved inside the sound of an engine starting roared through the tunnels so we made haste neutralizing attacking rebels on the way as me and Apprentice Racta suspected our Target was wherever the ship was about to take off.
As the ship was in sight a suicide bomber approached us who was quickly dealt with without his vest exploding, Sergeant Trisdane in a valiant maneuver disabled the ship before it could take off and 2 insurgents stepped out surrendering. Apprentice Vipion and Racta interrogated them as I collected the belongings they had on them and together with Specialist Dew searched the ship. As the intel I have solely collected in the past suggested both of the insurgents turned out to be the target with the code name "Harvia" and we have taken the prisoners back fulfilling Objective 2. We have collected 2 encrypted datapads from them and their ships blackbox to be decrypted and information extracted, fulfilling Objective 3. The tunnels remain and if the decision is made to keep them intact are to be secured and their security supervised by Apprentice Racta.

Overall the Arbitrators and Leviathan have performed excellently to insure mission success.

UPDATE: ESME ROI

ORSUS MISSION 1


TO: Sith Vipion

FROM: Apprentice Esme Roi

SUBJECT: After Action Report, Orsus Mission 1 (3)

INTRODUCTION:

Neophyte Roi assumed command of this Operation. Our main intent was to await the assassination attempt, investigate the conspirators and reveal ourselves when necessary to seize all involved, ultimately making a public scene to show off the effectiveness of both the Sith and the Sons of Orsus Guard.

Summary:

The following is regarding the incident itself.

Deployed Location:
Orsus, Varin Garin's Gala.

Deployed Personnel:
-Apprentice Esme Roi
-Apprentice Vayek Vipion
-Apprentice Krassus
-Apprentice Emlar

Duration of Deployment: [XX/XX/XX] - [XX/XX/XX]


Details of Operation:

To achieve the goals outlined in the brief. We arrived at the gala undercover. Apprentice Krassus went in as a Sith, to force the assassins to only engage when he was leaving allowing us control over the time in which the attempt occured. Myself and Apprentice Vayek took positions on the roof, with me watching the entrance the Sons of Orsus Guard positioned in a truckspeeder outside, while Apprentice Vayek went inside. Apprentice Emlar played the part of a average guest. Together we intended coordinated to discover the Rebel plot and eliminate it.

During the course of Vayek's investigation he managed to get caught out and drugged by one of the assassins, after overpowering him, he passed out in the security room, with an application of Force Lightning on the kitchen staff to keep them silent as he was impaired and caught out during the time.

Meanwhile Apprentice Emlar and Apprentice Krassus investigated the main floor. They discovered several of the conspirators. There was a long delay before I was given enough information due to poor communications on the part of Apprentice Emlar to make any judgment on the moment to engage. Krassus withdrew and gave us the order to breach. We secured the potential criminals and searched the building finding Vayek within the communication room, with the operator unfortunately already dead.

We used Vayek as our scapegoat of a Jedi Assassin, knowing that the Kitchen staff would recover from their injuries.

In the final clean up, Varin Garin is now supporting the Orsus Infrastructure Project and it's reconstruction of Orsus. We captured several conspirators, Oris Anli was carrying poison that would react with Varin Garin's medication was captured by Vayek, a skilled operator if Vayek's testimonial is to be believed. He identified during interrogation a accomplice who was not among those we brought, a yellow Twi'lek, the description of whom we will publicize as a Bounty.

Additionally, several co-conspirators were seized, Mnia Eann, K'inich Tang, Anhel Ethi a few giving information on the Rebel activity, they will be interrogated further.

Comments:

Apprentice Vayek needs to stop 'licking the gizka', he got caught out and didn't at any time during his mission really report back in.

Apprentice Emlar did not use their comms enough to give anyone the required information to act, they should have known Apprentice Krassus was unavailable and should have responded when asked. This mission was a failure of communications.

In the public statements Apprentice Vayek was painted as a 'Jedi Assassin' this image should be maintained going forward to keep our story accurate to the truth of events I think. He wore a mask, so that shouldn't be an issue really.
