Iessa's personal transport reminded Kyran of some of the modified luxury speeders he'd seen in use by both high-ranking imperials and corporate executives, as well as those of diplomats and senators from rich and wealthy imperial worlds. After giving it a quick glance Kyran turned his attention...
Kyran merely offered Codary a quick glance as his brother in arms spoke for the two of them. Whether the employer liked it or not they would eventually have to disclose some information, lest Row and Racksen find themselves geared up for a vastly different assignment in unknown terrain within...
"Understood," replied Iessa, nodding. This better be worth it.

Kyran chuckled in response to Row's statement. "I'll keep that in mind, I do so much prefer sober Codary." Racksen grinned. "Better decision-making skills."
As the Pantoran woman seated herself and ordered something to drink...
Racksen was about to respond to the message when another patron stepped through the door. Dressed in expensive-looking winter wear with knee-high boots and a lavender face-scarf was a slender Pantoran woman. As she stepped inside she undid the scarf, revealing what could only be described as...
5 ABY - Kashyyk
After a crushing defeat at Endor followed by dozens of other engagements of varying scope and scale the Empire is crumbling down piece by piece. With each engagement the New Republic grows bolder and bolder whereas the Imperial Navy and Imperial Army continue to suffer...
Stingray remained silent for a moment before locking his eyes onto Vance and only Vance. "Look, agent, you might have done things differently in your time but here we follow orders. If there's a rogue SSOID unit supposedly skulking around as part of some grand plot I'm sure it'll come to light-...
Modus Operandi
In orbit above Freeport
16:23 PM (Local Time)
All was quiet inside the briefing room except for the faint humming of the ship's engines. Stingray was seated at one end of the table with his chair slightly rotated to the left, making him face the two empty seats reserved for...
The dropship shook lightly as Duchess accelerated faster and faster. Wraith stared blankly at the captive and then at Vance, sighing. Nathalie shook her head and buried her face in the palms of her hands.
"Come again, Walker? Repeat last?" Said Stingray over the comms. "Captive is KIA, sir. I...
"Mhm," said Nathalie nodding while looking at the captive whom was seated next to Vance.
Wraith glanced between Nathalie and Vance with the former now turning to look directly at Vance; "SSOID. Strikeforce by the look of their gear, though I hope I'm wrong." Nathalie continued after a brief...
Just as Vance boarded the craft one of the killer bots started to emerge through the roof access hatch- only to have their robotic skull pierced by a well-placed shot from Nathalie, causing its blue eyes to flicker and shut down before vanishing out of view entirely as the bot collapsed down the...
As Vance called for evac there were sounds of commotion on the streets below. Local security had cordoned off the building while automated fire fighting drones were moving in to contain the inferno within the hangar. Several smaller explosions shook the building once more, most likely fire...
"Your next headache," replied the woman underneath the helmet right before kicking Vance with stronger-than-average force which was enough for Vance to stumble briefly. Using this brief window to her advantage the leader looked at her wrist but soon realized that the sheer force from Vance's...
The soldiers watched closely as Vance holstered his weapon and raised his arms. All of their weapons were trained on him, no doubt able to riddle him with holes should he try something.
Outside the hangar Nathalie had regrouped with Duchess and Wraith while Slam and Wipe were already standing by...
The odds had clearly not been in the favor of this unknown assailant and as they collapsed a part of visor cracked open, revealing a presumably Human face covered by some high-tech balaclava donning circuitry on its textile surface- most likely to interface with the helmet and its onboard...
"Our intel is never 'off'", replied Stingray. "If Goblin said its actionable then its actionable."
"Stranger things have happened. We're in enemy territory and actionable or not it could be bogus," said Nathalie.
The rest of the team was silent and were either listening to Vance as he...
From her vantage point in the adjacent alleyway Nathalie watched silently as Vance slowly made his way up. Watching him jump from roof to roof was impressive, a feat which only certain SSOID special forces or automated killbots could hope to compete with as Vance's sheer momentum and force...
Vance mentioning the stratosphere made Nathalie grunt. "They still do. Supersonic reconnaissance drones can snapshot an entire region in detail without detection at that altitude. In this case though I don't think Freeport's flight control is going to notice the Modus amidst the existing...
"You're right," said Nathalie nodding. "This place looks more well-defended than a military depot. If we breach like planned there's a good chance there'll be automated systems ready to gun us down."
She looked at Vance. "Whomever owns this place really don't want visitors. If I find a way to...
"Neither do I," replied Nathalie as the two of them continued to walk down the street. Ahead another patrol comprised of corporate gunmen and mercenary-looking types laughed at loud and exchanged jokes in front of a stall covered in holographic projectors and monitors. Meanwhile two different...
