Regarding: Operation Cobalt Thunder
General Madine:
Operation Cobalt Thunder is underway, as scheduled. The infiltrators, posing as scientists, will infiltrate the Imperial Intelligence Technical Services Branch outpost on the Planet Lotide, in the Mortex Sector. Their mission is too access the outpost’s computers for information concerning the Imperial Replenishment Fleet, with the secondary assignment to learn all you can about research at the outpost.
The Special Forces unit selected for this mission [unit code-name, Thunder Team] will be equipped with forged Identitags, describing them as a group of scientists newly posted to the Research Base, plus Imperial Regulation Scientist-style lab coats, pocket computers, and other suitable gear. One team member will be given the prototype of a new Computer Access Droid [code-name, QT-7]. Care was taken to inform the operatives to leave their weapons off planet, the security at the base is extreme.
The operatives will enter the planet openly, we have booked passage on a tramp freighter in the employ of the Empire. Once on planet the operatives will have to meet the repulsorlift transport from the spaceport to the outpost. The outpost is several hundred kilometers from the city. It is located in a dismal swamp, and the only way in or out is aboard the Imperial transport.
The operative’s cover is the following: The are posing as scientists transported from Dakot Seven [a small, academic-oriented planet on the other side of the Sector]. They have been thoroughly briefed on Dakot Seven and the Tech post there [ +1D to Con rolls when answering questions about background]. Once back into the city, they have the name and address of a Rebel sympathizer who will get them off-planet, plus an alternate contact, if the first one fails.
The Mission ends with the Operatives return to Rebel Alliance Sector HQ, located on the planet Fangol, on the very edge of the Mortex Sector. With the Force on our side, we will prevail.
With Respect,
Major Lawra Mers
Commander, Special Forces
In the grave of Alderaan,
In the night of Charenthoth,
In the sands of Tatooine,
And the bloody hell of Hoth.
We will meet the enemy;
We will sound the battle-cry.
With our comrades at our sides,
We will fight and we will die.
Though they hunt us across space;
Though they kill us by the scores,
Though they crush our blessed home;
Though the mighty Death Star roars.
We will meet the enemy;
We will sound the battle-cry.
With our comrades at our sides;
We will fight and they will die.
