Public Call for Operation Team Assembly

The file brief was marked with the clearance of Lord Kelsa, Pentarch of Advancement  though the attached prerecorded holomessage bore the visage of Major Grice Tillie, now sporting a green army officers’ uniform. He had not been seen since he last interfaced with House Horuset at the conclusion of the Alsolun insurrection; where he wore the rank and uniform of a Captain within the Ministry of Logistics.

 Tillie stood with the shape and form of a seasoned officer; though his post was relatively new to him; his hands clasped in the small of his back, his piercing icy eyes looking at the recording device from beneath his black officer’s cap.

Major Tillie’s voice cuts in, low and deliberate; sharp as a scalpel.

“Imperial assets have been compromised. A shuttle transporting a cadre of engineers from Dromund Kaas to Birgis failed to arrive at its destination. Intelligence confirms interception en route by pirates, where they were subsequently taken to Ciutric IV— a rising pirate stronghold. 

Head to Ciutric IV's failing port district where we have traced increased pirate and slaver activity; it is anticipated that the engineers are being auctioned; if they have not been already. 

Your directive is clear: secure their release. The method — negotiation, ransom, subterfuge, or decisive force — is at your discretion. Their expertise is vital; their survival is not optional. Their work on focused plasma-coupling modules is… delicate, and would take years to replicate.

If they have already been sold; track them down and reinstate them as Imperial assets. Secondary to this, you will identify the individual responsible for the hijacking and neutralise them, to send a message that the Empire demands order.

For the Empire."

The hologram ceased, fading and allowing the rest of the provided information to flood their screens.

Reminder: Assets are not to be earned or taken in operations; they are not meant to be for accumulating stuff. Maybe some money and a few trophies might be gained, but never anything large.
