Attached to the file would be a prerecorded holomessage that when selected would play. Trakaton's form would blaze to life in the classic display of a holographic transmission, the electric blue tinge accenting some features while diminishing others. Trakaton would be stood with his arms folded across his armoured chest, the cloak hanging loosely from his shoulders and the custom-fit plates of the armour looking as comfortable as an embrace. The scar on the right side of his face would be barely visible, his head ever so slightly turned to the right and he'd speak with a tone of authority:

"Throughout my time within the Horuset Powerbase, there has been a time, many an occasion, when we have sought the knowledge of the ancestors of old. Times when we have delved tombs, temples and ruins in search of what was once lost during the times of war and conflict that has seen our culture both thrive and die.

It has come to my attention due to an infilitrator that a smuggling ring on Dromund Kaas itself has come into possession of a Sith holocron of immense age. The holocron is being transported off-world via the spaceport, where it will be outside of my vision. Through any means required, recover the holocron and see it placed directly into my hands before the smuggling ring sees it lost for good.

The infilitrator has reason to believe that other smugglers and gangs will intend to intervene and take the holocron for themselves during the transfer of the holocron from the smuggling ring to their buyer. Whether merely the paranoia of the infiltrator or truth, remains to be seen."

*With that the hologram would flicker and then fade from view. Leaving the viewer able to access the rest of the information provided.*

---

---

Location: The planet of Dromund Kaas, the capital of our great Empire. The spaceport shall be the place where you will find the holocron mid-transit on its journey.

((I heavily recommend using the Hanger on Corellia that involves the 'Tears of Taris'. That way you have access to a hanger that any number of people can attend and are not constricted by a max of four from an instanced hanger. Its also out of the way of the main flow of players, giving privacy.))

---

---

The Holocron: The exact age of the holocron itself is unknown, but it has been recorded that it at least dates back to the time of the Golden Age of the Sith. When such Dark Lords as Marka Ragnos and Ludo Kressh were supreme. A pyramid by shape, and intricately designed across its surface, it is unknown who the holocron's gatekeeper is.

---

---

Objectives: In this task there will be two primary objectives and no secondary objectives.

Primary Objective I: Recover the holocron, no matter the cost.

Primary Objective II: Bust the smuggling ring and ensure that they will not longer operate on Dromund Kaas.

---

---

Time Frame: The team will have 21 days to complete the task and see the holocron placed into the hands of Lord Kalkoran.

((The 15th of December will be the deadline!))

---

---

Estimated Party Size: The recommendation of Lord Kalkoran is that a party size of no more than four will be required to see the holocron recovered and the smuggling ring busted.

Mission Report: 'Knowledge of the Ancients'

The party had been summoned tot he bridge by Apprentice Annabelle, whom was corrected by Lord Kalkoran, Apprentice Siors and myself. Upon this correction the party instead gathered at hangar bay 2-A, where we discussed how to approach this operation. The party was quick to decide, we choose infiltration via disguise. Each and everyone of us was given ten minutes by Apprentice Siors to find ourselves the equipment needed before we leave.

Once the group was ready, we left the Th’Asidra on one of the commisioned imperial shuttles. During the flight towards the Dromund Kaas Spaceport, we went through our plans and cover story and a failsafe plan if the operation were to go as we didn’t plan. Unfortunatelly, Apprentice Siors and Specialist Srano needed several moments to get rid of any childish thoughts, as such this discussion took longer than desirable.

Upon arrival we left the hanger we arrived in, and spreaded out once we reached the central erea of the spaceport. We decided to split up to increase time efficiency. Specialist Srano had moved tot he second level to keep an eye out on the first floor from above, whilst the Apprentices and myself would gather the information. It appeared that quite a number of people were knowledgable regarding the smuggling ring, and even the artifact. All three of us were able to extract the required information from our chosen targets.

After the location of a smuggling ring was revealed to us we gathered at our previously decided rendezvous location. From there we entered a market, one that was filled with smugglers and the likes, selling a wide variety of artifacts, from a variety of cultures, including those of the Sith. Unfortunatelly, these weren’t the ones we were searching, instead we ‘persuaded’ them to reveal the location of the correct smuggling ring and the holocron.

We then proceeded to hangar bay 12-D, Apprentices Siors and Annabelle continued to move towards the smuggler’s cargo ship whilst Specialist Srano and I proceeded tot he hangary bay control room, in order to close the hangar doors and shut down all alarms. Both groups encountered hostile forces, all of which were quickly dealt with by the respective pairs. The control room was secured and the alarms were shut down. Apprentices Siors had entered the cargoship of the smugglers and recovered the information regarding the ‘ringleader’ and destroyed it all, apart from the information of the other rings dealing in Sith artifacts. Apprentice Annabelle had found the holocron in the same time period.

Everyone of us agreed to load the rest of the ship with the crates that the smuggler’s were previously loading unto the ship. We then proceeded to take the cargoship tot he location of the ringleader, and thanks tot he party’s dynamic and quick reaction, all present guards were taken out, leaving only the ringleader himself, we made an attempt to gather more information out of him, unfortunatelly e were unable to. In the end we were able to recover the holocron, destroy the smuggling ring, recover the stolen goods and gather information on the other rings.

6 crates of lightsaber crystals and 3 crates of artifacts from a variety of cultures have been delivered directly tot he Kalkoran Estate, while a single crate with weaonry and ammunition had been delivered to the Th’Asidra by Specialist Srano. With the permission granted by Lord Kalkoran we will continue to hunt down and destroy the remaining smuggling rings.
