Report: Operation Clear Skies

by Acolyte Agran

Following briefing at the CCP, the Horuset Forces departed towards Garrison 4, destination House Taril's own project within the Mountain that the rebels had been using for their hideout with the aid of her traitorous husband.

The forces were thus split and I was assigned to a strike group composed of Apprentice Nivalis, Apprentice Krassus, Acolyte Magdalene, and Superior Supervisor Harkan, led by Sith Kelsa.

Upon landing we were welcomed by a tunnel, at the end of which we took a repulsorlift, accessed through clearance cards given to use by Lady Taril, and promptly engaged an entrenched group of twenty rebel combatants stationed at the lift junction, who were neutralized swiftly and with minimal effort with no casualties were sustained on our side.

Upon entering the caldera interior, we identified three critical points of interest: a makeshift communications station to the left, a covered staging platform directly ahead, and active shuttle pads to the right. Sith Kelsa led us toward the shuttle zone with the objective of disrupting the rebel evacuation.

As we advanced, Sith Kelsa called in a strafing run from Supremacy-class fighters to eliminate the escaping transports. However, a rebel anti-air emplacement, previously dormant, was activated near the ridge and successfully forced our air support to break off.

Recognizing the necessity of restoring air superiority, I moved to address the threat. Retreating rebels attempted to delay our advance, though they were disposed of accordingly by our team.

While flanking the emplacement, I recovered a blaster ammo pack from a fallen rebel combatant I had slain, turning it into a makeshift explosive which I hurled towards the turret, destroyed in the explosion that ensued.

As I was doing such, a neutral shuttle, damaged by the blockade, entered the area and deployed a detachment of six Republic soldiers bearing the sigil of the Serapin Division, along with a confirmed Jedi presence donning dark robes who quickly engaged us, with the Jedi voicing out his desire to face Sith.

Alongside Apprentice Nivalis and Acolyte Magdalene the soldiers were dealt with, and I proceeded with the Apprentice to check the Shuttle they brought in to land in order to secure it, slaying the pilots and a soldier that remained within, all whilst Sith Kelsa and Apprentice Krassus fought the Jedi.

Our side was then reinforced by the joining of Sith Andnoa, an Imperial, Acolyte Sah'sha and Acolyte Veillion. Despite my attempts to bring their focus onto the remaining shuttle that needed to be secured, they all jumped to fight the Jedi like moths flocking to a flame. I and Apprentice Nivalis kept on executing Sith Kelsa's orders, and we thus proceeded to the next Shuttle in duo, delivering swift death to the soldiers and rebels that protected it, returning in time to witness Sith Kelsa and Sith Andnoa as they executed the Jedi, with the latter ultimately claiming its saber after a brief misshap by Acolyte Veillion.

With such, the day was won.

Personal Considerations:
Our strike force worked well, taking advantage of one another's strengths, openings and giving no quarter to our enemies. The neutral shuttle used by the Jedi and his squad could be acquired and used for similar infiltrations elsewhere.

In service,
Acolyte Agran.

Report: Investigating the Jedi

by Acolyte Agran

I must preface this report by stating that whilst I had made Apprentice Nivalis aware of what you have said, my lord, after approaching them in an attempt to communicate about this, the Apprentice left to speak with other Sith. As a result, I chose to act alone not to waste time.

My investigation began at the medical bay in Garrison 1, where I inquired with the medical staff about any wounded personnel transferred from Garrison 2. After receiving confirmation of no such arrivals, it became clear that I had to move towards Garrison 2 myself.

With permission granted by yourself, my lord, I thus boarded a shuttle accompanied by the escort you provided, comprising of:

Private Stek
Private Tezrak
Private Simmena
Sergeant Kilgore

Upon arrival, I made my way directly to the local medical bay, where I encountered Doctor Krave. She expressed open disdain, not only toward myself but also as proxy to House Horuset. According to her, our presence had introduced violence and suffering to Alsolun's population, given before she had only seen mining-related medical cases. Despite her hostility, she complied with my requests once I presented authorization granted, once more, by yourself, my lord.

With it, I acquired the patient logs where I spotted Sergeant Micah, a soldier I had personally rescued and saved during the recent droid battle. After reaffirming his loyalty, I showed him the drawing of our Spy. He immediately recognized in it Engineer Stephen, who he recounted was the split image of Private Kefa as well, both, according to him, Imperial transfers. The Sergeant also disclosed that the Engineers, in general, operated with a certain degree of independence that could've corroborated to the ease with which the Droids had been tampered with. NCO Tendar, tasked with overseeing them in Garrison 2 was killed during the attack, and was followed by Second Officer Jeff.

I thus proceeded towards the Communication Tower to meet the 2nd Officer and learn of Private Kefa's whereabouts, and on the way I sought to contact Private Bennu from the Alpine Committee, given they presented themselves as a communication officer to me. Alas such was a dead end for they had never interacted with the Private.

I walked into the Communication Tower undeterred, and promptly confronted Second Officer Jeff directly, applying deliberate dominance and clarity of purpose. They submitted without seeking further permission or clearance. Upon questioning about Private Kefa, they mentioned the Private had departed months ago, though their work was impeccable on the Tower, often working beyond usual shifts, voicing out displeasure when poked during that period of time. Such granted them also more free-time to use however they preferred.

I thus requested to see their work-station and to no surprise their terminal was damaged, though so were the others. Salvaging it required time that I did not have, so I requested to prioritize the recovery of communication logs, which gave out:

Private Kefa took on duties of communicating from time to time and relaying weather reports from different places.
Engineer Stephen taking over said duties in the last few weeks, providing and relaying official messages without any tampering, potentially a way not to draw suspicion and thus keep their cover.

With that, time had drawn short and I thus had to recollect my bearings and, with the provided imperial escort, boarded the shuttle to return to Garrison 1. As a result of the investigation, the culprit has been given a name and an associate of theirs has been exposed. As such, my suggestion on the matter would be to acquire the service records of them both, if possible, and the transfer records of Private Kefa in an effort to obtain a lead to follow.

My commendations go to Sergeant Micah, who has been of vital aid despite his state, bed-ridden, and Second Officer Jeff who has executed all that was asked of them without hostility shown.

In service,
Acolyte Agran.

Report: Incident at Garrison 2

by Acolyte Agran

I was deployed under Sith Andnoa's leadership alongside Apprentice Veilak, Apprentice Nivalis, and Acolyte Sah’sha, in the response operation at Garrison 2, which had fallen to chaos following the sudden and violent betrayal of its own droid complement. Upon arrival, we were met with death, debris, and live droid fire. We were forced to engage hostile units across the outer segments before reaching the main operational facility, where we located Imperial survivors under siege.

Field Observations:

The droids attacked without discrimination, wielding any and all weapons or improvised means to kill.
The outer garrison was nearly devoid of life; by the time we reached the main structure, most personnel were already dead or critically wounded.
Survivors were few- isolated, surrounded, and short on supplies with communications cut due to the ruinous weather Among them a technician*.

A wounded Imperial, Sergeant Micah, I assisted and spared from death stated that all was calm until the Droids suddenly went haywire and began shooting and attacking everyone present.

Salvage & Technical Review:

Following suppression of the droid threat, I took initiative to recover five of the least-damaged chassis, guided by my very basic training in Droid Engineering under Captain Tillie and Neophyte Kalkoran. These were later transported back to Garrison 1 with the assistance of several rescued soldiers.

Once back, I worked alongside Neophyte Kalkoran to inspect the recovered chassis in a controlled environment. Thanks to her deeper technical insight, we uncovered that:

This was no ordinary slicer job, nor a one man's job, but clearly a work of multiple figures.
The receivers were lodged within narrow hollowed-out segments inside the memory cores, designed to evade deep scans and less through physical inspection.
Every element of the sabotage showed a level of precision rarely seen and sign of a long time-span behind the job.
Notably, during the analysis, we discovered that all Memory Cores within these chassis, unlike the Unit TX-22 found previously, showed no obvious seams or signs of tampering. The receivers appeared thus fully integrated, matching the internal and external quality standards almost perfectly- as if prepared for direct mounting without arousing suspicion. This sharply contrasts with the TX-22 unit from Garrison 1, which bore the marks of a rushed and/or less skillful modification.

Identification of the Culprit:

Among the survivors was a technician*, located and escorted by Apprentice Nivalis. Though initially presenting as an Imperial, Specialist Vadre, it was later found out that this individual was, apparently, a Republic-aligned Jedi spy who escaped the escorting Apprentice through a leap from the Garrison 2 bridge before mounting a speeder, locations unknown. What is certain is that there were other infiltrators in the other outposts where Droids went haywire as well, signaling a coordinated escalation prepared months-prior.

Report: Droids Evaluation & Investigation

by Acolyte Agran

I must preface this report by stating my limited experience in droid mechanics and protocol interfacing. I lacked prior technical knowledge and approached Unit TX-22's review with little more than intuition and trial. Assistance from Neophyte Kalkoran proved moderately helpful, offering insight into terminology and interface basics. With time and cautious handling, I managed to extract the following diagnostic readout:

Unit Designation: TX-22
Assigned Post: 1st Central Garrison, Alsolun
Chassis Condition: Pristine
Firmware Status: Out of Date
Driver Status: Out of Date

Primary Operational Protocols:
- Anti-Personnel Engagement & Suppression (Crowd Control)
- Asset Denial
- Authority Relay Function

Secondary Operational Protocols:
- Passive Uplink Listening
- Code Fragment Analysis
- Uplink Node Scanning (Tier 2 Clearance Required)

Handler Designation: "A.L" (Full designation unknown at time of review)
Self-Diagnostics: Returned Unknown Error – Memory Core

Personal Considerations:
TX-22 appears combat-ready in terms of chassis condition, but both firmware and internal drivers are outdated, suggesting significant neglect or intentional stalling of maintenance. The Memory Core’s unknown error may indicate tampering, data suppression, or long-term corruption. Clearance level restrictions prevented deeper probing into uplink functions. Further technical support is recommended before reactivation under combat protocols.

Unit Designation: DA-SO
Assigned Post: Spaceport, Section 4D
Chassis Condition: Near Mint (Scratched)
Firmware Status: Up to Date
Driver Status: Up to Date

Primary Operational Protocols:
- Standard Guard
- Patrol Protocol

Handler Designation: Engineer Ulan (Last Logged)

Personal Considerations:
DA-SO appears combat-ready in terms of chassis condition, all drivers up to date and no error revealed through both external and internal diagnostics. No technical support is recommended before reactivation and re-deployement.

As tasked by Neophyte Kalkoran, I investigated possible tampering of Droid Unit TX-22.

The following summarizes the findings:

I requested from Private Bennu, attendee to Superior Supervisor Harkan, a full list of currently stationed Droid Handlers within the garrison. The names provided were:

Jea Mann (Imperial Transfer)
Zed (Imperial Transfer)
Lo Ki (Native)
Benevene (Native)
Bo Bo (Native)
Jeaa (Native)
Munjuk (Native)

The initials "A.L.", tied to the last access to TX-22, did not correspond to any of the listed personnel.

Further inquiry confirmed the presence of Engineer Ulan, a recent transfer assigned to an outpost. A broader review of the engineering roster revealed no individuals with matching initials.

When I asked whether any other personnel might be authorized to access droids, Private Bennu confirmed that only assigned Droid Handlers and Civil Engineers are permitted such access. No exceptions were noted.

TX-22 is currently held in storage, scheduled for a check by Neophyte Kalkoran.

Personal Considerations:
The initials “A.L.” may not belong to a real person but could be a fabricated marker or codename - possibly even a veiled reference to “Alsolun” itself. If so, this may imply intentional obfuscation by an infiltrator or insider, potentially exploiting procedural blind spots.

Report: Social Gathering at House Taril

by Acolyte Agran

To those whom it may concern,

As instructed, I attended the gathering at House Taril in silent observation, presenting myself as befitting an acolyte of minor standing. The event bore the usual trappings of noble decorum, though I found little of lasting substance exchanged beyond the expected pleasantries and hollow affirmations.

Of greater note was my encounter with Duchess Cornellia Vermont. She is a widow, related to House Taril through a deceased scion, with two children who were not present. The Duchess carries herself with some disdain for the social theater in which she is made to participate, although capable to hide her true feelings to some degree.

In private conversation, once assured I held no real political sway, she did not mask her slight irritation, especially to Lady Taril's speech, claiming that it was all "Politics. Alsolun doesn't need speeches pretending everything is alright. It needs action. I imagine that is why you are here." Implying that the Empire, and our Powerbase's presence is here to act and eliminate any lingering threat once and for all.

In summary, Duchess Cornellia Vermont may yet prove a significant voice among the various vassals to House Taril. I would advise keeping a watchful eye upon her movements, and perhaps a direct approach to ensure her desire for action is commended, her resources perhaps put to the Blazing's Sun use to further advance the Empire's progress on Alsolun. > Further personal investigation efforts upon the Houses of Alsolun brought forth that there was no House Vermont onto the planet, hinting at this Duchess Cornellia being a potential spy.

Additionally, during the latter part of the evening, I was alerted to the disruptive behavior of Kolar, a smuggler with ties to the Red Scar Coalition. Kolar has a history of working with House Taril, the Alpine Committee, and various minor houses across Alsolun, often contracted for both “special and fast deliveries” as well as limited bounty enforcement. At the gathering, he had taken it upon himself to stir the pot, directing pointed remarks and criticisms at Superior Supervisor Harkan, drawing unwanted attention and tension among several guests.

On direct command from Sith Andnoa, I moved to detain Kolar. His blaster, holocom, and an empty bandolierwere confiscated without resistance and turned over to Superior Supervisor Harkan for inspection and further handling. In the course of our brief exchange, he referenced the Boli incident, a past operation he claims was sabotaged by faulty intelligence originating from the Committee. Kolar holds a notable grudge against Supervisor Harkan, believing he was unjustly scapegoated for the mission’s failure despite having acted on provided data.

While Kolar maintains no formal standing, his network of contacts and present dissatisfaction pose a potential risk should rebel elements or rival interests seek to exploit him.

In service,
Acolyte Agran.

Brief:

After gathering the in the Atori's compound, Major Koren would have us move towards the Northern Cave where the Atori were set up, fighting for their lives against an incoming mass of countless pro-pub rebels. We were to hold them back, provide the Atori and The Herald alike with enough time to escape.

Objective(s):

Hold back the incoming invasion of pro-pub rebels to allow the Atori to escape
Protect The Herald from rocket fire

Report:

Gathered in the Atori's compound, members of said Atori dotted around practicing techniques and skills all of Leviathan had recently showed them, I would have received an alert on my data pad. This alert would have been the tripping of multiple sensors Leviathan had placed nights before. With this revelation, I issued for all members of Leviathan currently present to get combat ready, a maximum of one minute to do so. However, the voice of Major Koren ringed out to all Leviathan communication lines as he ordered us to the Northern Cave with the objectives of holding back the enemy long enough for the Atori and The Herald to escape. With our orders received, we began our move.

Taking the position of Squad Lead, due to no higher ranking member being present at the current time, and Saviour being my 2IC (Second In Command), I'd order for Leviathan to move on up. As we drew closer and closer to the Northern Cave, the sounds of ruthless blaster fire could very well be heard as clear as day, even the stray bolt also flying in our direction as we rushed over. Besh would arrive first, taking their positions with their heavier fire power by the tree line and with Killer sat upon the ridge close-by, overlooking the battle with the man's Marksman Rifle, and Aurek not a moment after as they too took their positions in the tree line. However, we weren't alone, members of the Atori were already there, already fighting. Though, they were losing.

With the battle ahead of us, I'd yell out for both fireteams, Aurek and Besh alike, to open fire but watch for friendlies due to the Atori being ahead of us also. This is roughly where the pro-pub rebels began spewing out of the Northern Cave like a swarm of rodents surfacing from a sewage facility. There was that many of them that random and un-aimed fire would almost be guaranteed to meet armour or flesh and burn through it. Killer would begin sniping away, picking at those heavily armed or armoured, keeping any would-be specialised units in their assault down for now. Specialist Rees would utilise her blaster cannon to great effect, blasting into groups of rebels, tearing away limb from their sockets and spewing blood and gore all over the battlefield.

Saviour would also lay down fire of her own, spraying into the oncoming masses to her heart's content, not relenting in her volleys of crimson death. The members of Aurek, myself, the Chiss and Warsik would begin spraying down those closest to the injured Atori per my order. Both Privates managing to land their shots, taking head, taking life, taking everything from the rebels as they charged forth. Myself however, would switch my rifle into a burst firing pattern, taking more precise shots and focusing on protecting the lives of the Atori rather than butchering the rebels like the rest of Leviathan save for Aurek. My Assault Droid was doing what it was designed to do, killing, killing and more killing. That mechanical marvel would show no remorse, no fear, in the face of an overwhelming enemy force as it shot into the masses.

The battle would rage on as more and more rebels pushed out of the Northern Cave, some even beginning a bayonet charge on the Atori. Spotting this, I'd yell out to Aurek for them to focus on protecting the Atori and for Besh to focus on the Cave and the vermin spewing out from it. Both fireteams would do as ordered and greatly even. The two Privates fired with great shots, landing their bolts to the flesh and make-shift armour of the rebels pushing the Atori. Myself and the Droid keeping it up too, burst rounds meeting countless, the Droid's automatic firing meeting more. Suddenly, heavy fire would rush towards me, lighting the tree I used as cover up entirely and sending said tree down crashing.

With my cover removed, resulting in myself now being exposed, I'd re-adjust my positioning and to another tree where'd I spot the rebels diving into the water as their push on the Atori, for the most part, failed. I'd yell out for Aurek to focus on the water, hoping to keep any from getting past us whilst Besh focused on the Northern Cave's entrance still. By this time, Sergeant Haldeen would arrive, with his medical gear present. He'd rush over towards Besh, focusing fire on the cave with his Marksman Rifle, doming multiple rebels, leaving a not so pleasant burn mark on their corpses. Killer would snipe at the heavy repeater that was situated inside the cave, said heavy repeater that riddled my tree with bolts just moments earlier, and killed them, giving us a little more breathing room.

The Atori present would be injured, beaten down and knocked down by the sea of rebels that swarmed over them. They'd begin to make their slow retreat, getting the worst of the injured back first as best they could. By this time, Major Koren alerted us that The Herald was almost done with supply recovery, roughly sixty percent of the way there even. Also, Ensign Rennab would arrive, the grenades firing from a under-slung grenade launcher signified this, if it could be heard of the battle however. The battle would continue on, rebel after rebel falling under the gun, the dead falling into the river and being swept away with it's current. Those that dove into the water would be eradicated thanks to Aurek's quick and deadly work.

The members of Besh, those daring three and now four with the Ensign's arrival, would focus fire on the cave once again, this time the swarm would lesser. Perhaps we were finally winning. Us, against such an overwhelming force. However, the Atori would begin to be mowed down, multiple of their members turning into a bright red mist as E-web fire could be seen and heard evaporating them. Killer would be the first to note down their position, relaying it to the other members of Leviathan present. I'd yell out for any to use their grenades as well as asking for any myself. Ensign Rennab would cook himself up a Cryo grenade and prepared to throw it.

As this bloody and messy jungle battle continued on, Sergeant Haldeen, after ever so kindly providing myself with a frag grenade, would stand himself up and begin to assist the injured back to the campsite, focusing on saving lives rather than taking them. Though, the man certainly had his fill of the latter, certainly. Aurek's fire, both flesh and metal, would yearn for the rebel's flesh and so did it meet it. Killer would, after stating so over the communication lines, throw himself a thermal detonator towards the E-web, now seen to be on wheels. However, this didn't come before Ensign Rennab's cryo grenade would soar across the skies, landing and exploding upon impact to the E-web and froze it in place, possibly even those inside too. However, this freezing didn't last for long as Killer threw his thermal, landing it rather skilfully too, as it exploded into a fiery haze. As a result, this would cause the frozen E-web to explode too, sending chunks of metal stained with flesh and blood flying out over the battlefield.

However, this is where the battle began to fall out of our favour. Republic Commandos, a rather large amount of them from what I could see had entered the battle. Re-grouping with Aurek's tight position, narrowly avoiding the deadly grip of a grenade launcher shell, I prepared to throw myself the frag grenade provided by Sergeant Haldeen earlier. I'd yell "Frag out!" as I threw said grenade across the corpse field and towards the Commandos, to which one of them jumped onto it, using their body as meat shield to protect their comrades. Still, the grenade throw was still beneficial.

Both of the Privates situated in Aurek began to focus their shots, steadying their aim and being more accurate now that the swarm had lessened greatly and a much larger threat was at play. Warsik sprayed out, managing to tag a Commando at what I believe was centre mass, taking them down. The Chiss would manage to dome one of the Commandos, taking them down in a single bolt before switching targets to another. This time however, she fired and her crimson bolt met it's target that somehow set off a grenade explosion, resulting in the death of three Commandos. The Droid would still be at it, firing mercilessly into the mixture of Commando and rebel, more so the rebels, making short work of them.

Saviour would open fire herself, thus spraying down a plethora of rebels, a plethora. No rebel could exit the Northern Cave without her bolts meeting their head. Killer himself, with his call-sign so fittingly suited for this scenario, would, like the Chiss Private, take out a Commando with a single bolt to their head. Specialist Rees, her brains and her cannon would prove to be of great use, firing into the remaining masses of rebels, sending bodies, both dead and alive, soaring into the air above before crashing back down into the sandy surface of Atorius.

The Droid and I, a match made in Kaas, would strike at rebel and Commando alike. I'd even manage to eradicate one Commando from the battle with a power shot to centre mass, causing me to reload. However, the firing from Aurek and Besh alike would provide all with the cover to enact a reload if they needed it. We'd receive an update from the Major, alerting us that The Herald was up in the air. However, multiple rockets would fire out, fire out and raced for The Herald itself, tracking it and smashing into the hull of this S-Class Light Cruiser. Well, that would have been the case if not for the ship's shields. With this information, I'd order for a fighting retreat.

Ensign Rennab, before the order for the retreat was issued, fired out gas grenades, the same grenades provided by the then Sith and now Lord Sarias. This caused rebels to choke, their eyes to bleed and their life... end. However, shrapnel would pierce into Saviour's armour, her head even if I saw correct. The Chiss received wounds to her right shoulder, resulting in quite the loss of blood. Ensign Rennab would then be struck by a grenade, sending him flying back but thankfully, without injury. Killer would retreat back from the ridge and re-grouped with Leviathan, providing covering fire and a grenade of his own as Specialist Rees took to helping the injured Ensign get away.

Saviour would run into a tree, perhaps due to her injuries causing her to not think or see all that straight. Spotting this, I'd rush over, getting her up on her feet, my back turned and covering her with my body as I'd push her on to the Chiss and Warsik, ordering for them both to help her get back to a shuttle that was landing. We'd hear the voice of Captain Zynn, alerting us to said shuttle and to hurry our arses up. We'd all make the final retreat back, myself lingering behind the rest to ensure none was left behind. The Commandos were still on our tail, they were unrelenting.

These Commandos would have almost certainly reached us, the injured Leviathan struggling to get back to safety. And for a moment, I thought they would have. However, my Assault Droid, the mechanical marvel that it was, took all the attention onto itself, firing into them all, not giving them the chance to follow us. However, like all real heroes of the Empire... it eventually fell, giving out it's last words of pure loyalty. "For the Empire, Leviathan." as it initiated a self destruct sequence. And, moments later, an explosion occurred, an explosion from the Droid that gave up it's own 'life' but saved imperial ones whilst also taking the enemy with it.

The Droid bought us the time to escape, to safety, as Leviathan boarded the shuttle and re-grouped with The Herald. The fighting wasn't yet over however, we could still hear and feel the vibrations of rockets pelting against the shields of the ship, but thankfully we'd exit the atmosphere and jumped into hyperspace, leaving Atorius behind... for now.

Key Notes:

Objectives complete; The Atori managed to escape and re-locate and The Herald was saved
Republic Commandos; These lot were present, yet Leviathan held their ground

End Report

Commendations:

Every single member of Leviathan acted with such strength, such fearlessness and passion that we'd of been unstoppable if we were to actually stay and fight. Every member, from Private to Ensign followed orders to the nail, shot with no remorse for the enemy. If these soldiers weren't present, the Atori would have been lost and worst of all, The Herald destroyed. And so, I believe all members present deserve rewards accordingly. First of all, Specialist Mamra Mot will be receiving a commendation from myself for his actions, removing large threats before they had a great chance to use them.

Recommendations for Medals and Marks:

The Medal of Sacrificial Defence I - Specialist Rees, Private Codri, Private Warsikarsini
The Medal of Sacrificial Defence II - Ensign Rennab, Sergeant Haldeen, Sergeant Kienix, Corporal Miriadas, Specialist Mot.
The Saviours Medal - Private Codri and Private Warsik.
The Specialist's Service Medal II - Sergeant Kienix.
The Purple Heart I - Private Codri.
Mark of the Skilled - Specialist Mot, Specialist Rees
Mark of the Commando - Private Codri, Sergeant Kienix.
Mark of the Efficient - Private Codri, Specialist Rees

Privates Codri and Warsik have been promoted to the rank of Specialist by myself, with the approval of Ensign Rennab.

A final note: If those present in the battle believe they qualify for something, contact me. I can't see everything. That is all...

Operation: Serpent Fang - Rock and Stone (Jedi Priority)

Attendees:

Major 'Bane' Koren (2IC)
Sergeant 'Honour' Kienix (SL)
Ensign Rennab
Corporal 'Saviour' Miriadas
Private Codri
Imperial Assault Droid (Controlled by Kienix)

Objective:
Reach the Eastern Cave and conduct a sampling of a specific type of ore.
Do not alert the Imperio Atori to this mission.

Brief:

Arriving to the small pier situated by the near entirely dried up lake, Leviathan were given the run down by Major Koren. We were to traverse through the nearby cave and to another to the East, to which our objective would come into play. Said objective was to identify, sample and scan ore without alerting the Imperio Atori to said objective.

Report:

With the briefing given, I took the position of Squad Lead with Bane's approval and, once Bane transferred Saviour the sampling equipment, had us all move out towards the Northen Cave, said cave that myself, Ensign Rennab and Sergeant Haldeen travelled through when we first arrived to Atorius, in a single file formation paired with five meter spacing until we reached the cave's entrance. Nearing the entrance to the cave, I issued a halt with a gesture, to which the entire Squad did, the Assault Droid too.

The reason for this halt would be so that I could check for, as best as I could, the potential threat of life, animal or otherwise before we entered so we were not caught off-guard. With the motion detector detecting nothing yet, save for wild-life behind us, I had us continue inside with myself and the Droid taking point. As we passed through the cave, passing the camera I had placed nights before, I would check the motion sensor once more, to which two blips would appear at the other end of the cave. Uncertain of if it's the Imperio Atori, enemies to the Empire or wild-life, I had the Squad prepare for combat.

Myself, the Droid and Bane would move up, taking cover by a series of rocks. I'd check the sensor once more, to which two more blips appeared from outside the cave and closing. By this point, we could hear voices, voices that gradually came closer and closer. Having Bane and the Droid hold position with myself up front and Saviour and the Chiss situated with firing positions on the small rocky bridge, I'd instruct them all to open fire on my mark. Letting the four come closer, attempting to see for any sort of identifiable marks to determine if they were FOF (Friend-or-Foe), I'd check the sensor a final time, to which I saw no more targets. With this information, we acted.

I'd target the first two, so did Bane, and then so did the Droid once bolts started flying, whilst Saviour and the Chiss targeted the back pairing. With confirmation from the entire Squad that they were indeed ready, I'd yell out for them all to open fire as I did myself, sending two rounds of burst towards the first two, one round to each. As soon as the order came, the rest opened fire themselves, each taking a kill for themselves save for the Droid that decided to shoot the dead. There'd be three corpses in the cave's passage now as the fourth fell into the river and drifted out, out to the outside world.

Bane would wisely suggest checking the bodies to attempt to identify who the four were, to which I agreed and had him do it while myself and the Droid moved up towards the cave's exit, holding there and watching for anymore possible targets. Saviour and the Chiss would hold by the rocky bridge, that is until Bane had Saviour move up to his position with the intent of helping him identify the bodies and their weapons. This is when Ensign Rennab arrived and held his position on the rocky bridge with the Chiss Private.

Saviour and Bane, along with a suggestion from the Ensign, would conclude that the four had military grade equipment paired with the fact that they were pro-pub. We also theorize the possibility of the S.I.S being involved, which caused me concern. The concern would lie in the Imperio Atori itself because, if the S.I.S are indeed involved, they could very well have spies placed inside, to monitor us. For this reason alone, we didn't warn the Imperio Atori to activity this close to their site. Ensign Rennab would hold by the cave, keeping it under watch whilst the rest of the Squad continued out on mine, the Droid's and Bane's lead.

Continuing on, I'd begin to check the motion sensor almost every five or so seconds as I'd receive constant blips from the nearby wild-life, keeping me on edge. However, I didn't bother concerning the Squad with this information as I deemed it unnecessary and of no use. Moving onwards, checking the vegetation, the waters, I heard a click. Said click would alert me to the sight of Bane and Saviour strung up in some primitive, yet effective trap as they dangled from a pair of trees. Before I even thought about helping the pair, I checked the area, expecting an ambush. However, none came.

Demanding the Droid to stay and defend the two dangling imperials, myself and the Chiss would move up to an elevated position, following Bane's order of checking the area and ensuring it is indeed secure. Once we arrived to said elevated position, I'd assume a prone position, looking out over the lands below, switching to IR as it drew on the borders of night as the Chiss checked our rear. Spotting nothing, nothing but animals hiding in thick areas of vegetation, I issued the all clear and sent the Chiss down to assist the dangling Major and Corporal whilst I held overwatch up top. With the freeing of the pair, I issued a regroup on my position.

With the group back together again, we'd move up on the cave that contained our objective, the ore. Stacking up behind Bane, I had the Droid hold a sentry position on the cave's exit, to watch and defend our flanks. We'd push in, I took point with Bane whilst Saviour and the Chiss were roughly five meters behind, parallel to each other. I'd check the motion sensor as we walked, to which it showed a "Ghost Blip." This blip would appear and disappear once, causing slight concern. A possible defection of the sensor? I'd alert the others to the possibility of something being in here as we'd then hear the sounds of old machinery somewhere deep, deep into the cave itself.

Switching pairs, Bane and Saviour, the ones with the knowledge and equipment to handle ore, to take point and find us the ore while myself and the Chiss act as a rear guard to them, I'd spot the blip again. By this time, Bane and Saviour found the ore we were after and they begun to sample it. I'd alert them all, issuing them all to prepare for close range fighting and for Bane and Saviour to hurry it up as this was certainly no defection of the sensor. I'd switch my rifle to a power shot bolt, in the case it's an animal of significant size as Bane and Saviour completed the ore sample. With that, myself and the Chiss led us out, speeding it up as we all checked our flanks.

We'd manage to reach the exit, to which I'd spot the blip again and so I had us hold by the exit and had the Droid take up a firing position, having the mechanical soldier prepare to open fire to it's circuit's content. Bane and Saviour would be up front, still in the cave slightly while myself and the Chiss were outside, aiming in with the Droid. We'd then hear a voice, a voice coming from inside the cave we just made our exit from. This voice would be feminine and young, most likely either a teenage girl or a young woman. This voice would order us to leave and that they "Fight for the Freedom of all." This immediately sparked my concern for a possible Jedi.

I'd have the Chiss prepare a flash grenade and to have her throw it on my mark. Saviour would engage with the voice in verbal combat of sorts. The woman from the inside would speak even more, speaking like how I imagined the Jedi cultists to do so. I'd check the sensor again, to which I spotted eight more targets and the Ghost Blip. I'd prepare for a retreat, having the Droid be the last one out to protect imperial lives when the time for the retreat came. However, into the cave, I could swear on the Emperor's grace itself, that a blue haze would shine through. A possible lightsaber. But suddenly, blaster wielding foes would rush out of the cave, firing towards us.

As soon as the first came into view, I released my power shot and had the Droid open fire, hoping to keep them suppressed as I yelled for the flash to be thrown. Bane would suggest collapsing the cave and to that I agreed. Saviour and Bane would attempt to close the cave off by throwing multiple grenades, to which it worked long enough for us to make our retreat back to the Northern Cave and to the 'safety', to which we met Ensign Rennab once more. We'd hold the by the Northern Cave, ensuring we weren't followed while we discussed what had just occurred. I'd advise that Saviour is given a solid and detailed explanation so she sees the Jedi threat for what they are as she believes we could've fought them, which would've no doubt ended in a botched mission and more importantly, the death of Leviathan personnel. Though, I do admire her courage and confidence.

Making our way back to the camp itself, Bane would order for sensors to be placed and to not mention the "J-Word" to any of the Imperio Atori. Leviathan are now to be on high alert, everyone is to be on the best of their game, every moment of every day and night on this planet. With the threat of Jedi and even S.I.S involvement, we cannot slack off, even by a little.

Key Notes:

-Objective Completed; Ore sample retrieved
-Possible S.I.S involvement; Military grade gear on the pro-pubs
-Jedi; possibly a Padawan due to their young age. This also could suggest a Master or a Knight nearby
-Traps; most likely more spread throughout the jungle, be it Imperio or not

Operation Sidestrike - Part II: Diplomatic Solutions

Intelligence Questions are answered at the end of this report.

Operation Sidestrike - Part II: Diplomatic Solutions

Attendees:

Apprentice Emlar Racta
Apprentice Mayaz
Sergeant Kienix 'Honour'
Corporal Rosetti 'Saviour' Miriadas

Brief:

The Squad consisting of Sith and Imperial alike were instructed to The Herald, Leviathan's S-Class Light Cruiser, for the upcoming diplomatic mission to Varos VI where they were to hail the planet's rumoured pro-Republic Pirate occupants with the intent of gaining as much information from -them- as they possibly could via diplomatic means.

Report:

The squad, once they boarded The Herald, were met by an Imperial issue Protocol Droid that referred to itself as 'Dexter' as it listed its functions. During this, the squad went over the mission's primary objective of information gathering as the ship entered Hyperspace. Apprentice Racta wisely stated that we want -them- to be the ones speaking. The more they talk, the more we know and the easier it'll be to finally wipe them off Varos VI for good.

The squad was then called to the Bridge, where we met Intelligence Agents, the current Commander and Bridge staff, as the stars finally returned to our view, The Herald had finally exited Hyperspace and the planet of Varos VI was in our sight. The ship's crew got to work attempting to hail the Pirates, even stating that we do indeed "Come in Peace." and was met with all but everlasting silence for a grand total of five or so minutes more. The crew would then gesture to the holo projector as they received an incoming transmission.

The holo projector would then come to life, the blue haze would show a figure, a clearly alien figure. Said figure would appear to be a male with rich turquoise skin tones with vibrant shades of regal purple. Their hair would be thick and rather lustrous, styled in elaborate braids adorned with different jewels, beads and feathers. The creature's eyes would be rather large and moved in nothing but peculiar ways.

The alien appeared to be wearing a Republic Senior Officer's uniform, yet it was heavily, heavily altered with various colours and... the alien's personnel expressions. For now, this stain of a breed is unknown to us. The alien would speak in the poorest excuse for Galactic Basic one could ever hear, though it was still understandable, to a degree.

Apprentice Racta, the diplomat of our squad, would primarily engage with the alien, stating our names, our allegiance and our purpose hailing them. The alien would seem off, like he was under the influence of substances judging by his odd mannerisms and his speech. However, the alien revealed himself to be Captain Riddimbeard, a most bizarre name for a bizarre creature.

This poor excuse for a Captain would toy with us, not taking anything seriously. We however, held our patience and sat through it, keeping to our "diplomacy." Corporal Saviour offered a piece of her mother's jerky to the Captain, clearly high Captain, where he'd simply laugh, withdrawing a slave collar and gesturing to put it on the Corporal for his entertainment. Thus proving to us once again that he doesn't care, he enjoys it.

The Intelligence Agents would call to myself and Saviour, gesturing us to them as to relay to us what they had found. The Agents seemingly found a shot down imperial drop ship, an old slave site with a dig that was filled with upwards of seventy corpses. We do not know who the dead belong too exactly, but by the Captain's rambling, we can safely conclude they are unfortunately imperial.

Then, Apprentice Racta went back and forth with questions with the Captain, ultimately keeping herself calm and composed while he grew slightly agitated, most likely due to his likely drug usage. The Captain would state, after stating a list of names, he has triumphed over the Empire multiple times, Apprentice Mayaz would have him prove it, to which he did.

The Captain would bring out a clearly imperial looking woman, she appeared to of been recently crying but her expression was neutral. She wore state issued plain clothes and was knelt down in front of the Captain, to which he brought out a blaster and waved it in front of the holo and then pointed it back at the woman. Apprentice Mayaz made the ultimately fatal mistake of questioning the logic of an inferior, illogical, rat of a being. The woman held hostage seemed to know her time had come as she yelled out in a proud tone: "Long Live the Empire!" The Captain shot her, executing her like that. The woman doing this might suggest he's executed more.

The Captain showed no remorse, even mocking the death as he stated: "Oops, slippery fingers." in his pathetic attempt at basic. This proved that there was no point even trying to come to any compromise with this creature. However, we stuck to our mission, attempting to let him talk and ramble on. We'd hear screams off camera, screams that sounded imperial, which indicates he has more hostages and was proven right as he showed four imperials in slave collars via his holo device.

More conversing continued, the Captain was toying, not caring. Apprentice Racta, after gathering more intel would have had enough, deciding to offer him a choice. Either surrender or face the wrath of the Empire. The Bridge of The Herald would flash red, Bridge crews relayed that we were being locked on to before everything seemingly calmed. The Captain and his crew would laugh, mock us even.

This display of their power suggests they do not fear the Empire, which is their biggest mistake. We'd then hear four blaster bolts off camera as he put a finger to his mouth, mocking us even more. We fear his followers have executed the four. After this, Apprentice Racta went on to ask about his allies, about who will protect him from us. He'd say the Republic, to which we don't entirely believe. These Pirates surely wouldn't be aligned with the Republic with their ways, but it is still possible and not out of the question.

Regarding the pirate's other allies, they have little to none. They seem to struggle making alliances with other crews. Their own crew seem to be made up of imperials, most likely forced into it, and the average hooligan. Racta would speak more about what he does with imperials, to which he didn't want to talk about it. I mentioned the mass grave site that was the dig to Racta, to which she relayed it to the Captain.

The Captain plainly replied with a pathetic excuse. They didn't want to peacefully accept his rule, he tried to enforce it, the imperials rightfully refused and he murdered all who would not submit. Apprentice Racta would this time give him a final chance to see the error he has done by explaining in great detail how fighting the Empire would be nothing but suicide for him. The Captain cut off the holo as she spoke.

The Herald would then be alerted to an incoming mass of twenty Star Fighters racing for The Herald, firing bolts, which too raced for The Herald and striking it's shields. We'd make our jump to Hyperspace as a message would transmitted to us. The message was from the Captain who made a threat. "If I catch any more off-world imperials, they will drop like flies, pussiclat." That is what was said, well, what I could make of it.

Their Captain will regret all he has done, he will not make it off Varos VI alive.
End Report

Intelligence Questions:

1) Key Personnel: The Captain Riddimbeard, Skankshot who is a cybernetic Human male with , Skaletta who is a female Zabrak that some among their "ranks" refer to as "Mommy," Rythmblast, a skinny Weeqay male with a cybernetic left arm and finally, Dubwunda. Dubwunda appears to look very Imperial and Intelligence Agents suggest he's forced into their "ranks" as a medic.

2) Motives: Their only motives appear to be amass wealth and control the region. That is all. They clearly don't fear anyone and seems like they will do anything to get what they desire.

3) Goals: Refer to Motives.

4) Funding: Unknown. Most likely theft from the imperials on planet, possible outside funding from the Republic, though these pirates seem too out of hand for the Republic to actively deal with. Still possible.

5) Territories and Reinforcements: They seem to only barley control Varos VI. Their reinforcements could very well be nothing or a ship load. It is unknown.

6) Resources and Assets: For now, we know they contain slaves. Imperial slaves and any soul who refuses them is likely too. They contain standard weaponry, rifles, pistols. Maybe the odd heavier weapon but I doubt it. They have upwards of twenty Star Fighters as well as a large Vessel which appears to be their hub. Possibly five hundred or more "soldiers" they could contain. They also have a shield generator. We have however, found the power behind said generator.

7) Structure and Formation: The Captain seems to be the head, the rest all blend together. The names above seem to be the only ones of importance. I wager that they all, minus Debwunda, are his seconds.

8) Alliances and Affiliations: They say the Republic, but I doubt it. Still possible however. With regards to any others, there seems to be none.

9) Weaknesses: The common "soldiery" appear to be nothing but than the average criminal, making them inferior in combat with imperials and especially Sith. The Captain appeared to be under the influence of a substance, perhaps the rest would too. Could find a way to poison the supply of whatever it is. They have slaves which we could possibly use to sabotage or take up arms against their oppressors.

10) Recruitment Methods: They appear to take on imperials which might suggest they'll take on anyone or anything, which could be to our advantage. Bribe, false promises etc. It is unknown how they actively do recruit however. Also, their involvement of imperials suggests they have little to no specialised "soldiers."

11) Treatment of Imperials: Executed one imperial miner for certain, showed no remorse and joked about it. Possibly executed another four off camera, once again showed no remorse. Safe to assume to not expect any mercy from them. They have also enslaved imperials and there is most likely a lot more of them.

12) Contact with Imperial Resistance: They engaged, when they first landed, with the imperials already on the planet. They refused the Captain's rule and he killed all who took arms against him when he tried to enforce his rule. Outside of that, we're unsure.

13) Negotiation Objectives: Unsure. They didn't request for anything other than toying with us and mocking us by requesting the Corporal to put on a slave collar.

14) Information Sharing: They can be easily goaded, at least the Captain is, into rambling on about what they have done and achieved. However, this proved fatal when we tried this.

15) Conflict Resolution: Uncertain.

16) Relations with the Sith Empire: Apart from what we know on Varos VI, enslaving, executing, murdering the imperials, it is mostly unknown. Though, we do speculate and mostly agree that they have most likely been in skirmishes with troops before.

17) Code of Conduct: Unsure. They seem to just want to amass wealth, probably get intoxicated or high as well as that. Safe to assume classic pirate stereotypes.

18) Reaction to Imperial Presence: Murdering, executing, enslaving, mocking, threatening. They seem to enjoy harassing imperials and obtain our attention.

19) Intelligence Gathering: Unsure. Most likely through torture or bribes.

20) Escalation and De-escalation: Executed non-soldier imperials for seemingly the fun of it. Seem to want a fight with us. De-escalation doesn't even seem possible.

That is all,

Longrock Overview

Situated north of Mos Anek and Two Arch, south of Outpost Salara, Longrock has laid in the hands of the republic for a lenghtly period of time. Tucked away from the open fields of the Rennar Outpost and Ridgeside, it none the less represents a key target for the empire to control - situated at the doorstep of ITEC's minning efforts in the west, and presenting a risk of the republic descending onto Two Arch and south onwards.

Formerly estimated to hold 300-600 men, evidence shows reinforcing since the battle, and bombing, of Outpost Rennar. It holds a primary entry point from a collasped gateway, spreading into a sizeable ravine before narrowing into a canyon leading straight into Outpost Salara, presently republic held.

Do not mistake the difficulty of this assault for an unlikely victory. As Sith, we possess power that the Republic have never truly faced at its full potential. We possess tools and abilities that they have never seen before We possess a significant amount of intelligence against them, and we possess the full might of the force.

Most of our enemy’s physical defenses rely upon the assumption that our tactic of overwhelming force will not change. In order to take this victory, we will be using tactics that the Republic have never seen before. We know their weaknesses. We know their strengths. We will intelligently and surgically strike at these strengths. We will intelligently and surgically take advantage of their weaknesses. We will do this until our victory is assured.

Before now, we were holding back…
