Public Call for Operation Team Assembly

*An image of a Twi'lek flickers into view, in an Imperial Uniform. The bars denote her as a Sergeant, the Marks denote her as well-decorated for her rank, and the reputation, perhaps, precedes her. She's standing with her hands behind her back, chin up, proud, despite her stature. Twin blaster pistols rest on her legs, and a modified Scatterblaster can be seen over her shoulder, as well as her Lekku behind her, tattoo'd.*

"Intelligence forms the cornerstone of the Empire. Knowledge is Power, always, and of late, there are always new reports to file through. One such report is of shuttles going to a certain planet, and investigating scans show a secret base in Hutt Space; specifically, on the planet of Nal Yeshu. A scout was sent in, and barely made it out intact with sliced data for browsing - the Cartel secures its facilities well."
"Conflicts between the Empire and the Republic have taken place in the area before, including the reported destruction of a listening post. Currently, this small facility is dedicated to experimental plans and research, but there is something specific we are after: miniaturized power cell technology. There are many applications to this in the field, most important of which is powering the finer devices for our soldiers for longer, and with more stability."
"As such, a team is to take a shuttle to the planet, and infiltrate this base of operations. There are unknown security measures, and an amount of unknown tech inside, untested. Caution is necessary, as always, especially with going into Hutt Territory."
"For Acolytes participating, I will authorize a piece of Armor for use, or an allowance on a class of Vibroblade Modification, should you wish to invest in your future - do contact me about more upon a success. For Apprentices and Neophytes, I will offer a Favor or Lesson of your choice within reason, and should it be within my power to do so, along with the aforementioned Modification, should you be utilizing a Vibroblade or feel sentimental, with aforementioned contact if you have interest. For my own men wishing to attend, I will authorize one Blaster Modification class upon a successful completion, or authorize a Cybernetic Enhancement, should you have allowances open for one and one is open for your chosen Specialization."
"Glory to the Empire, glory to Horuset."

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


Location: Nal Yeshu, in the Y'toub System (which contains Nar Shaddaa)
OOC Location (which in-game location to use): Anywhere with a complex and a terrestrial component outside, likely jungle.
Added info: A transport shuttle will take them a distance away, so they will need to walk a bit to get close. Authorizations for equipment may be available depending on a plan.

Objectives:
Primary Objective: Secure the plans, or a prototype, of the experimental energy cell.
Secondary Objective: Acquire further plans or prototypes.
Optional Objective: Sabotage the base, if possible.

Time Frame: Four weeks (December 18th)
Estimated Party Size: 3-4 Participants, at least one of which should be an Imperial OR above an Acolyte
Reminder: Assets are NOT to be earned or taken in these, they are not meant to be for accumulating stuff. Maybe some money and little trophies might be gained but never anything large.

Spoiler: OOC Notes for the GM!

Once the group has found a GM amongst themselves (or a trusted GM), send me a DM and I'll work out the information with you.

Report:

Before we embarked on the mission in question, our operation group met up to discuss tactics. Corporal Naveil claimed leadership at first, but after a short discussion he agreed that I would lead the mission. We landed on a beach-side and approached the facility. As we got closer we detected enemies, and upon approach we saw two men playing a game, an auto-turret nearby and a droid as well.

Corporal Naveil opened the engagement by taking out one of the guards and damaging the turret, which caused the droid to activate and further guards to be alerted. Syndathik provided cover from blasters while I disable the droid. Advancing, we systematically took out each of the guards save one, who we interrogated for necessary access codes, got to draw his own men into an ambush and Corporal Naveil then executed without order to do so.

The next wave were simply two guards who were easily taken out, and the rest were only scared scientists panic-firing. Corporal Naveil stunned them, and we followed a last one to the research facility proper. They were deleting files, but upon being spoken to they agreed to stop the process and save the majority of the information, even removing the databanks for us. We do not know the exact contents, but the scientist said that if we got the information on it 'we wouldn't need her', so I guess there is value in there. There were no prototypes present, the Hutts having taken them only recently.

We escaped with no casualties on our side, and four captive scientists of whom one followed of her own will. I suggest she is given the opportunity to keep working, such an intellect may be invaluable to the Empire in the long term. I cannot vouch for the rest of her team.

Objectives:
Primary Objective: Secure the plans, or a prototype, of the experimental energy cell.
Though we cannot confirm we completed this objective until the databanks are properly scanned through, the scientist leading the project has been captured and appears willing to share her information.
Secondary Objective: Acquire further plans or prototypes.
The recovered databanks, not to mention the minds of the scientists, may contain further data.
Optional Objective: Sabotage the base.
We left none alive, took all the scientists and did considerable damage to infrastructure and machinery.

We must await the contents of the Database, but I am reasonably sure this Operation can be counted as a success.

*Message: "This mission has been marked a success - all scientists and data have been taken for processing, and plans secured for reproduction. If any participants wish to further aid in acquisitions, there's still another Operation: Doom and Plooma that can use your talents. All of this aids the production and bottom line of the Kalkoran Powerbase, which produces items directly for the Imperials and Sith of Horuset."*
