Public Call for Operation Team Assembly
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:
"The 'Raven's Talon' a heavily modified 'D5-Mantis' was a regular returning Ship to the Pirate Coves of Rishi. Until we stole it, kidnapped its crew and put them under duress to learn their secrets. For rumours across known space state that the Ship is one of the fastest known to the Smugglers, able to break blockades and outrun even Imperial Mark VI Interceptors. The Pilot of the 'Raven's Talon' is simply known as 'Redrunner' by reputation and has since become a bumbling mess in the prison cells of the Horuset Spire.
The task before you is a simple one. The 'Raven's Talon' requires a crew of four to operate. Its navigation charts show hyperlane usage that is likely used by smugglers, pirates and other lowlifes to circumvent the more well know routes of the Alliance, Empire and Republic. You will board the 'Raven's Talon' from its place at the spaceport of Dromund Kaas in House Horuset's name, take the ship to Rishi and from there explore one of the hyperspace routes available on the navigational charts and see where they end up. Such routes are safe from navigational errors that would see the crew and ship obliterated but pirates, smugglers and the destination itself may prove problematic. Once the destination has been reached, begin returning to Dromund Kaas once more with your findings."
*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 'Raven's Talon' is currently in the spaceport of Dromund Kaas awaiting departure. From there, use the navigational computer to find your way to Rishi and then onwards to uncharted space.
((OOCly: The Operation can begin in the DK spaceport, with a Bounty Hunter class grouped so that the D-5 Mantis can be used later! The point of this Operation is to have an event that is near entirely based on space flight and exploration. That means the majority of the RP will be done aboard a starship, so have fun with some potentially new RP!))
The Ship: The Ship is an D5-Mantis. Nimble, quick and agile with enough cargo space to stow away enough supplies to aid in any blockade breaking, the reputation of the 'Raven's Talon' precedes it mostly in rumour and folklore. Most believed the ship to be culmination of many different ships all having their achievements attributed to a pinnacle of smuggling expertise.
Objectives: In this task there will be three primary objectives and no secondary objectives.
Primary Objective I: Board the Raven's Talon and make your way to Rishi.
Primary Objective II: Once at Rishi, use the navigational computers to travel to the 'Unknown' destination through the smuggler's hyperspace route.
Primary Objective III: Do not blow the cover that the 'Raven's Talon' is now in Imperial hands.
Time Frame: The team will have 18 days to complete the task and have the Ship returned from its journey to the spaceport of Dromund Kaas.
((The 20th of November 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 keep the chances of anonymity high. ((And only four can fit into a starship for the RP!))
