"Empyrion Citadel is vulnerable"
Valioth the Bitter had assembled a war council of the mightiest renegades of the Oculus Sector, leveraging favors, threats, and blackmail to get everyone in the same room without killing each other. Kargath the Slaughterer of the Bloody Daggers, mostly looking like he was ready to butcher everyone in the room if it wasn't for the fact that he'd be killed first. Silveron the Longshot of the Black Sabre Pirates, who is no less threatening for his lesser height than the Astartes in the room, mostly due to the heavy rifle being fiddled with before him. There was Altron the Doomseer, master of the Althrian Cabal--and finally, Atem--Sorcerer of the Thousand Sons, who had recovered from his wounds and damage, and was arguably the scariest thing in the room.
Favor Check: 2,500 < 2,700, Success!
And finally, you. Medea Altheos, the Witch of Indagus. You didn't quite have a choice in accepting this mission--it was too critical to be ignored, but you gained something in return--the official acknowledgement and recognition of the Raider Lord of the Oculus Sector as a power to be respected and curried, rather than simply a stripling that got lucky.
He nods towards Atem, who steps to the forefront. "As we all know, Empyrion Citadel is the center of the Imperium's power in this Sector. Situated in the only safe route through the Nervos Passage, anyone who wishes to enter or leave this section of space needs to deal with it. It allows them to fuel in reinforcements from abroad, and deny anyone who isn't suicidal enough to brave the Pluton Rift access to the rest of the galaxy. Between myself and Altron's cabal, we have been successful in drawing away most of Battlefleet Oculus' defenders, and churning up the Pluton Rift sufficiently to delay their return long enough for a campaign."
Valioth nods respectfully to the Sorcerer, everyone politely ignoring Kargath's growl as Silveron looks up. "Aye, I've been workin' at this for a while" He drawls, placing a hand to steady his rifle. "I've got my boys ready to finish sabotaging the Citadel's sensors. Shouldn't have any problems slipping a force through their net and boarding in good order. Long as the Fleet's busy elsewhere."
"Excellent" Valioth turns to the rest of the council. "As you can see, we have prepared a rare opportunity. A small, elite strike force should be capable of exploiting this opportunity, decapitating the leadership, and crippling the base. We can effectively blockade the Sector from the rest of the Imperium, and leave the Battlefleet to choke on the vine, granting us as much time as we wish to seize what we please from it's worlds. We have the strength, we have the numbers, all that we require is to seize this opportunity that the Gods have created for us!"
The council isn't one to cheer--there's no need to rally these powerful leaders--but there is a sense of anticipation that fills the air, a promise of slaughter and glory to be had.
You personally thought it was all a bit daft, but your acknowledgment was contingent upon your full participation in this campaign. It seemed solidly executed enough at least, and it's not like they were intending to actually Keep the Citadel, just cripple it in a lightning attack by elite troops.
"That red guy seemed mad about somethin' " Lilith commented as you stepped out of the room--of course she'd have listened in--it's not as though anyone could have stopped her.

"He's Khornate, they're always mad about something" You roll your eyes. "How are you adjusting?"
Lilith grins and poses in her new armour. "Just fine Ma'am! I always wondered how you got around so easy in that big thing, but it really is pretty easy once you get the hang of it, ain't it?"
"Isn't it" You absently correct to a toothy grin, as you walk down the corridor. "We'll be busy soon enough I imagine."
"Yeah, about that..." Lilith asks as she takes her place at your side. "Have you figured out how we're gonna do this thing yet?"

Our main factor here is surprise; First boarding might be pretty safe, actually.

We're basically a scrub tier Chapter Master with shitty gear, this shouldn't be too dangerous provided we don't run into a cell of Grey Knights/our allies backstab us.

Less safe, yes, but this is what precognition was made for: being awesome by knowing what to do. The fact that we'll have a lot of inadvertent guards cancels out a good bit of the risk, and the large favor reward indicates that FUN things will happen.

Isn't necessarily "FUN", just that the Chaos Gods scorn people who prioritize their own personal safety over Doing Things.

Higher chance of "Is that a female Space Marine???". Although I imagine most would just chalk it up to some Slaanesh twisted Space Marine.
I wonder if we are going to find a proper chauvinist Inquisitor and/or Space Marine rival?
