Does Ciaran have any data on her? because the only problem I see with this plan is letting someone we are told to not let near anything we need secret by the head of the galactic conspiracy.

You've got a semi-colon instead of a bracket there on the right; the vote counter won't pick up that vote if you format it that way.
Why yes, she has a document on her at all times titled "Plan to Take Over the Galaxy."
But seriously, Ciaran wouldn't carry anything that sensitive on her at a time like this. Same goes for everyone else.

I don't think she would. Both because she knows what she's doing and because bringing anything containing critical intel into a battlefield is kind of stupid as hell.

•Ciaran, despite being good with her Lightfoil and blasters, is more of a info gatherer/hacker.
Boss can work with others, and is a solider. Where Ciaran has less experience, he'll cover her and via versa.
Abyss Watchers did "bug" this place before, so she is somewhat familiar with this tech....
•Subtlety with bombs... Gulan "knows what he's doing" and Scorch can be "muscle" so to speak
•Silencer earned Jango's respect, and to be honest, he can keep up with the best of Clone troopers.
•Thrawn is military strategist and now part of an "intelligence organisation" so he "can't" be outwitted by a "highly proficient slicer" that being said, they both are intelligent type so mutual respect will go long way.
•Long range fighter with close range combatant. Both know the value of stealth, both can utilise hit-and-run tactics, and can identify enemy "weaknesses". Soe Chaos on the battlefield, leave no one alive.

You haven't had the same QM's I've had.Well, duh. I just filed that detail under "common sense things" and didn't bother to mention it
Yeah, that's fair. I've read all but one of their books and the game. As well as their wiki pages semi-regularly.

I think I have enough of an idea of what you're talking about though, and let me make it perfectly clear that I hate shit like that and I will never ever do something like that to you guys.

@Dr. Snark: that update. was. perfect. Listening to Adele's 'Skyfall' made everything so much better, but seriously -- really well done.
That said... everyone is voting for 'Match made in Mandalore', and I don't understand why.
'Fixer' is Delta Squad's slicer, described as "straight-laced" and unable to keep a secret. The best fit for keeping him in check would be either Thrawn (also straight-laced, incredibly intelligent) or Gulan (our own intelligence chief). Why would we pair him with Ciaran? Personality conflict aside, Ciaran is probably the one most likely to be dealing with high-level information throughout the operation, so why would we risk exposing such intel to someone who cannot keep a secret?
'Sev' is Delta Squad's sniper, described as merciless and someone who works best at extreme range. The best fit for him would be a dedicated spotter or another long-range fighter. General Grievous is a close-range melee specialist -- pairing him with a sniper is the best way to keep him out of the fight. Our best bet would be to pair 'Sev' with someone we'd like to keep out of the direct fight, either Thrawn (who works best as a strategist and spotter, and is less impressive in personal combat) or Ciaran (keep the boss lady away from the front lines).
'Boss' is Delta Squad's leader, described as a non-specialist who's willing to cooperate with anyone. The best fit for him would probably be someone who would have trouble cooperating with anyone else. Thrawn is basically the same way -- highly intelligent, and willing to cooperate with whomever he needs to for the sake of the job. So why would we pair him with someone who gets along great with anyone? Frankly, the best paring here would probably be The Silencer, who is highly effective and has trouble 'playing nice' with others.
'Ordo' is the Delta Squad's best, described as "stubborn" and very reluctant to respect anyone who isn't a true Mandalore. While 'The Silencer' is a good soldier, I'm not sure he's the best person to reflect Mandalorian values. I'd be more inclined to pair 'Ordo' with General Grievous.
'Scorch' is the Delta Squad's demolition expert, described as 'childish' and 'sarcastic' but really good at his job. Why pair him with our intelligence chief, the fairly humorless Gulan? That makes no sense! I'd be much more inclined to pair Scorch with Ciaran (also a giant troll who we want to keep away from the firefight) or The Silencer (also has an appetite for destruction).
Wrapping it all up, here are the 'ideal' pairings listed above:
Ciaran: works with 'Sev' or 'Scorch'
Gulan: works with 'Fixer'
Silencer: works with 'Boss' or 'Scorch' or 'Ordo'
Thrawn: works with 'Fixer' or 'Sev'
Grievous: works with 'Ordo'
Given that 'Gulan-Fixer' and 'Grievous-Ordo' are locked in, process of elimination means Thrawn would be paired w/ 'Sev', which means Ciaran would be paired with 'Scorch', and Silencer paired with 'Boss'.
Fortunately, there's a separate plan that gives exactly that arrangement. Hat-tip to @NinjaMAster

Any intel Ciaran gets is likely to be related to this mission. Stuff we wouldn't want to be keeping secret from our allies. And it's already been said by the gm she won't be carrying any dangerous intel with her on this mission.

Personally I like to think either Gulan or Ciaran hacked their comms the moment we saw them. Because they may be the best clone commandos, but we're the best spies.

Smart man, Cat, thing.
In an op like this more likely than not we're gonna get some kind of juicy intel on the republic forces, or at least on the Kaminoans and their cloning tech.
Best to keep something like that close to our chests, for a rainy day and all that.
