This report is being written to detail the mission for the capture of the Raven's Talon and success resultant from said outing. A party was dispatched consisting of Apprentice Zutauha Ronith, Apprentice Tashha Vineac, Corporal Dorian, Specialist Noreli Cubric, Specialist Marcus McCarthy and Acolyte Cerberus Black.
The group began in the Horuset staging camp in the jungles of Rishi, completely disguised so as to avoid any risk to House Horuset's covert nature on the planet. We quickly moved out of the camp after making what preparations we needed to, almost immediately encountering the destitute nature of the planet's inhabitants once we had reached the city, being set upon by beggars who we quickly dispatched without drawing blood so as not to draw too large a scene. Continuing through the city we were greeted by three local thugs who disliked our presence upon their "turf." These malingerers were dispatched with mere threats alone.
We then encountered two of the crew we had been sent to capture, and quickly managed to do so with both of them without drawing a single weapon besides Specialist Cubric's rifle. The two, a Rattataki and a Human, were sent back to the camp with the Corporal and Acolyte in shackles. The rest of the journey was relatively peaceful until we neared the landing that the target was on, at which point we encountered the thugs from earlier, and learned that they had incited aggression towards us from the other locals. Our response was simple; a display of power without using the force or any noticeably Imperial weaponry that shook the leader of the mob, and dissolved most of the mobs motivation for being there. It was at this point that we engaged in a manipulation of the motley group, persuading them that the man who had drawn them here was, in fact, a vile criminal even by Rishi's standards. Angered by this, the mob set upon their former leader in a bloody display that allowed us to stealthily enter the ships docking by distracting all others.
Here, we left Specialist McCarthy behind as a rearguard and advanced. Specialist Cubric was set up as overwatch while myself and Apprentice Tashha advanced. The Specialist took down one of the crew with her sniper rifle set on stun, at which point I took his com device and drew another crew member out of the ship into an ambush. Immediately afterwards we boarded the ship in question, taking down the first crew member found within instantly and beginning a battle with a Mandalorian and a Zabrak using a light repeating blaster,at which point the ship took off and into the atmosphere. In order to create adequate time to take on the Mandalorian, I used telekinesis to defeat the Zabrak by pulling him from his perch and then attacking him in melee while Apprentice Tashha covered me with Shien and the Specialist covered me with fire. Apprentice Tashha then personally took on the Mandalorian and defeated him, after which I defeated a Gammorean using the force. Then, the pilot sealed the cockpit and depressurised the ship's main atrium, unfortunately losing the defeated Zabrak to the void of space. Apprentice Tashha managed to make it to a control terminal before the doors opened and I managed to make it to the engineering room. Together, using the Apprentice's slicing skills and my own knowledge of naval craft's engineering terminals we managed to seal the ship back up, after which I used my terminal to open the cockpit and deprive them of control of the ship.
While I did so, the Apprentice and Specialist engaged and defeated the Mirialan captain and the pilot, securing the whole crew and the ship with only superficial damage. It was then piloted back to the camp, and handed over along with its crew to Lord Kalkoran.
Specialist Marcus showed some talent for command on the mission, and also proved to be useful above the expectation in the manipulation and turning-to-our-advantage of the mob that we encountered while on the mission, positively sealing the deal himself.
Specialist Noreli is worthy of particular distinction. Her work as an overwatch sniper, and as a target-oriented sniper was of vital importance to the mission and was carried out with skill and consistency. The specialist also held her own in close combat, showing quick thinking and good teamwork with the two Sith there.
Apprentice Tashha was a force of sheer destruction in battle; defeating a Mandalorian in unarmed combat, demonstrating a high degree of skill in Shien as well as a keen understanding of how to use the environment around her correctly in combat. Her use of slicing and proficiency with it saved the mission from disaster aboard the ship, an effort that she showed superb teamwork with myself in. The Apprentice also used force skills such as Force Slow with an extremely high degree of effectiveness in various situations.
As for myself, I can only surmise that I was capable in the combat, that my tactical knowledge and ability to work in a team helped on the mission and that my knowledge of naval vessels was essential in ensuring that Tashha's slicing work. One would truly have to consult another member of the party to get an accurate gauge of my usefulness, however, as I am hardly objective.
All in all, only one of the ten man crew wasn't recovered, and even then he was a base level member who died and cannot cause future trouble. The ship was recovered with only damage to one of its internal doors and coolant pipes. The inhabitants were no wiser of our identity, and not too much of a stir was caused that will be planted upon our doorstep.
