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:

"As the influence of the Horuset Powerbase and its affiliates grow, so to does our gaze fall across vaster swathes of the Empire. The planet of Nez Peron is an agricultural world of farming collectives and small estates that oversee vast fields near the centre of our Empire. The planet has become key since the Eternal Empire's conquests in preventing widespread famine across our Empire and as such any effort to undermine the world is a strike at the very heart, the very foundation, of the Sith Empire.

As of recently, several farming collectives have begun reporting severe, crippling, raids. Entire fields razed with months if not years worth of food gone within a matter of weeks. Near all of the reports that have found their way to myself have one thing in common. The raiders are not seen. Farmers have watched their fields be set alight, their crops burn and the only trace the raiders have ever left is footsteps in the mud and the ash from the fields they've scorched. One farmstead managed to kill a single raider when a farmer shot at a shimmer in the air. The raiders are using Stealth Field Generators to remain hidden from all but the most keen of eye.

The stability of the food production is of a priority to the Empire. Wipe out the raiders. All of them. Recover the Stealth Field Generators they use to terrorise the farmsteads and return them to me.

Any who complete this operation, will earn my favour."

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

---

Location: Nez Peron, an agricultural world within the Sith Empire controlled since the opening weeks of the Great Galactic War. 

((OOCly, I strongly suggest using Alderaan as it has the perfect rolling plains and small (reinforced) farming estates vibe.))

Stealth Field Generators : A Stealth Field Generator is a belt mounted device that that projects a field around the user, rendering them near invisible. At long and medium ranges, a Stealth Field Generator even in a clumsy users hands can render the user unable to be seen. In close quarters is when a Stealth Field Generator can potentially be noticed through air oscillations alike what fire gives off and a very faint silhouette of the user may be able to be seen as a result. A Stealth Field Generator does not typically dampen ones sound and the Generator will overload and shut down to prevent damage to itself if the user breaks out into a run or is moved too quickly for the technology to keep up with it.

---

---

Objectives: In this task there will be three primary objectives and one secondary objectives.

Primary Objective I: Question the Farmstead that managed to kill one of the raiders and find out what direction the raiders may have come from to locate their camp.

Primary Objective II: Eliminate the raiders. All of them.

Primary Objective III: Recover the Stealth Field Generators as proof of the raiders demise and hand them over to Lord Kalkoran personally.

Secondary Objective I: Find out if an outside faction such as the Republic, Hutts or Eternal Alliance are behind the armed raids on Nez Peron.

---

---

Time Frame: The team will have many weeks to complete the task before Nez Peron's food production is irreparably damaged.

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

---

---

Estimated Party Size: The recommendation of Lord Kalkoran is that a party size of no more than five will be required to locate and eliminate the raiders while recovering the Stealth Field Generators.

Mission Report: Shadow Over Nez Peron

((Accessible IC Only by Lord Trakaton Kalkoran))

The following report details the events that occurred on the agricultural hub world Nez Peron, as per the instructions of Lord Kalkoran for the Operation titled: “Shadow Over Nez Peron”. Agents present for this mission: Apprentice Vaenra, Acolytes Uldrinn and Nedhorroc and Sergeant Hectio Srano.

The climate and nature of the attacks allowed the team to approach in proper imperial dress as to not alert the local farmers. Upon arriving on the edge of the site, Apprentice Vaenra, myself and Acolyte Nedhorroc began our approach to the farmstead with the Sergeant maintain his position overlooking the fields to make full use of his sniper training. The area was largely dense crop field surrounding the central structures thus making immediate vision difficult.

Upon arrival at the main site, we discovered it to be immediately under siege by the raider group, several of them making use of the stealth technology in question. Combat ensued. Apprentice Vaenra lead the charge as the field of battle was littered with burning crops bellowing smoke and ash into the air, making it even more difficult to see the enemy. After a time we managed to rout the enemy away from the farmstead, however using their stealth technology they managed to split up rather effectively. However thanks to Apprentice Vaenra and Sergeant Hectio, a couple of these raiders were captured and brought to the shuttle for further questioning. One raider attempted to speak out of line, without respect for the Apprentice's superiority and was punished. He may have difficulty speaking due to a tearing on the roof of his mouth from the Apprentice's gauntlet. From the corpses that remained we recovered the damaged stealth technology to be returned to the hands of House Horuset and the Empire.

We made contact briefly with the farmsteaders kept held up by the attack. They seemed amicable enough although Apprentice Vaenra was quick to assert an aggressive demeanor towards one who approached her. The subject in question was a Rutian Twi'lek, apparently an engineer for the group. She had set up a ring of sensor pylons around the farmstead which allowed us to pick up the trail, upon which Apprentice Vaenra and myself attempted to pursue. I could not keep up with the Apprentice although she returned to the farmland a while later carrying several stealth generators with her, these ones in particular looked in far better condition, as if new. She reported she had found the location set into the high hills a couple of miles away from the farmstead and placed a tracker inside one of the raider's transport crates. According to the Apprentice their numbers were rather significant, more than expected after a raid of around a maximum of 20 raiders. We expected their numbers to dwindle and as such the Apprentice could not outright engage or call for support, counting in approximation of 40 more of these criminals, whilst the others at the shuttle were preoccupied with containment of prisoners. It seemed also that the camp was preparing to move, as such the settlement of Arborstead no longer remains under immediate threat.

With this we were unable to complete the objective of outright destruction of this group, however my Lord we now maintain the capacity to monitor this group as they move should any follow up action by House Horuset take place. Finally although we did not find any evidence yet of collusion with outsider forces, the group maintained their own sigil according to Apprentice Vaenra, appearing as a clenched fist set aflame, a white crest on a dark red background. I will personally endeavor to research this symbol my lord and see what connections it may have elsewhere.

In total we recovered:

-8 Damaged stealth units.
-5 Units in pristine condition.

I hope this report is satisfactory my Lord given the circumstances. We have managed to recover a good portion of their stealth technology although it seems they may be carrying a large amount more of these tools. Apprentice Vaenra will deliver these to you personally as ordered my Lord. Force Serve you my Lord.
