Public Call for Operation Team Assembly

*The image of a dark-haired pureblood woman flickers into view over the holo, blue hues doing little to lessen the unwavering stare presented to whomever was looking at the message. Her visage is but a calm face, with little else to be read from it. Her attire is expectedly maintained in dark colors, favoring lighter armoring though the tactical placing of armored plating and thicker armor weaves speaks of considerations. For observant eyes, her belt holds what appears to be anything from a medical kit to vials tucked on the hip opposite her lightsaber.*

 "A human male named Preune, belonging to a smuggling group named the Manitok, has recently cracked under interrorgation for their operations and revealing theimto be run out of a cantina on the outskirts of a smaller settlement on Plooma. Having held a position of outreach and communication his leaked information indicates the Manitoks are attempting to establish a foothold in the northern front's underground through alliances - one of which was thwarted already, indicating their rapid movement towards this goal". 

"One member of the team will assume the identity of Preune, while the remainder will act as happenstance patrons visiting the cantina or protection for 'him'". 
 

Location: Cantina on the outskirts of a smaller settlement on Plooma
OOC Location: Balmorra is recommended, though any planet of the same general look can work. A nar shaddaa stronghold can also function.
Added info: Preune's identification has been recovered to serve as false identification for the cover. The remainder of the team will have to improvise, potentially stealing an ID while on-site or through cunning to avoid situations where ID is needed.
Objectives: 
Primary Objectives:

• Obtain information on the Manitok gang's efforts towards making alliances with other gangs. The Manitok's primarily deal with tech and kolto.
  
• Identify the presence of other key members of the Manitok gang - capture them if possible. 
  

Secondary Objectives:

• Maintain the cover as Preune to ensure it can be reused at a later time. 
  
• If deemed viable, maintain all covers and leave the cantina
  

Time Frame: 1 month (25th of May)
Estimated Party Size: 3-5
Rewards: Acolytes can receive a lesson in a core force power. Apprentices and above will be able to request a lesson or perhaps a specific reward from Lord Sarias. Imperials will have potential rewards discussed upon its conclusion.

Spoiler: OOC Notes for the GM!

Once the group has found a GM amongst themselves, send me a DM and i'll provide you the information you'll need!.

Full Report:

Our team was briefed by Apprentice Lyrissa and it was chosen that I would be impersonating Preune Harolds, while not exactly matching a man in his thirties physically, I was able to mimic his accent and tone of his voice.  The other members of the team impersonate other patrons or members of Harolds's gang. Apprentice Vlorakaar Vipion took the identity of Harolds's bodyguard. Apprentice Lyrissa assumed the identity of Harolds's "gems", aka one of his temporary romantic interests.

The team arrived at Ploona and Cantina where we split, to talk to potential associates of Mr. Harolds. Apprentice Vlorakaar Vipion and Apprentice Lyrissa followed me, while Apprentice Veilak spoke to a rather large cybernetically enhanced Zabrak, and Apprentice Mayaz went to sit at the bar talking to an elderly man. We arrived to talk to the duo Rodians, twins more precisely. Attempts to talk with them were fruitless, however, as they dealt with Preune Harolds before and held a negative opinion of him. And we left to talk to an obese, wealthy man gambling near us. Apprentice Vlorakaar Vipion was forced to depart from the mission. The man turned out to be named Jerkin the son of a wealthy owner of a shipping company called Deneb Shipping (or that is what he claimed). He however was not related to Mr. Harolds's operations.

Other team members were more successful. Apprentice Veilak was able to get in contact with Zabrak called Big Red (the same man he initially talked to), right hand to a gang called "Crimson Emporium" and eventually met with a gang leader "The Red Emperor".  "The Red Emperor" is lethan and he offered the apprentice a position within his gang.

Apprentice Mayaz spoke with a scrap dealer (the same elderly man at the bar) and learned that Mr. Harolds was planning to merge "Crimson Emporium" gang with "Manitooks gang" (the gang Preune Harolds is currently leading). From the scrap dealer, she also acquired the GNK power droid.

The mission concluded with the team meeting outside of the cantina and eventually leaving.

Conclusion:

We successfully identified potential associates of Preune Harolds and learned of his plans. The cover was maintained during the entirety of the operation.

Status:

Injuries: 0
Casualties: 0
Loss of imperial equipment: 0
