Mission Report 3948 BBY Q4
Mission 1 (Kador, Atton Rand, Bao-Dur, and Zez, The Core)
-Councilor Atton Rand-
So, we found some coordinates for something that looks an awful lot like a Czerka weaons cache that they haven't popped open for some reason. Now, Bao-Dur wasn't wrong when he said probably weren't going to find more intelligence on Czerka here, but hell with it-- we might, and more importantly I could use a new blaster.
What? Yes, Kador, I am aware bolts can be blocked back at people, but let me tell you-- they're still a pretty good distraction, and it helps when we go undercover.

Mission 2 (Juhani, Visas Marr, and Brianna, Mid-Rim)
- Councilor Brianna-
More bounty hunters. A clan of wookiees, trying to get back their people still enslaved. Czerka has promised them their people's absolute freedom, in return for helping fight this war for them. We need to stop them, but there are alternatives to fighting.

Mission 3 (Bastila, Mira, and Breda, Outer Rim)
-Councilor Mira-
We dropped Breda off on Telos, to be taken care of by Mical-- who didn't say a single damn word to us when we did. I can't tell if he's madder at us for letting his Padawan get hurt, or at Czerka, for daring to hurt his student.
The good news is we have a few leads on a different credit warehouse that Czerka's been laundering its money in. The bad news is we have to go-- now-- before they manage to evacuate this one, too.

Mission 1 (Kador, Atton Rand, Bao-Dur, and Zez, The Core)
-Councilor Atton Rand-
Well, no blasters, but we found a few other things that might be helpful. There was a small datacore left when we got here-- it's just an asteroid mining facility, pretty rare in this part of the galaxy.
It still doesn't tell us a lot-- we aren't that fortunate-- but it looks like it might have a few funny little things for us to learn; honestly, I'm mostly hoping we crack it open before the Republic gets here for the look on their faces.

Mission 2 (Juhani, Visas Marr, and Brianna, Mid-Rim)
- Councilor Brianna-
I have contacted the Wookiees, and for the moment they have agreed to a ceasfire. They have given us a week to find some other method of freeing their enslaves kin-- and no, Czerka will not simply allow the bounty hunters to buy them back. It is for cruelty's sake alone that they have done this thing, I think, whatever absurd explanation they have offered to the wookiees.
It will be difficult, but I feel that perhaps our Order's heart will rest on proving that we can do all the things Jedi can do, negotiations included, not simply cutting down the foe.

Mission 3 (Bastila and Mira, Outer Rim)
-Councilor Mira-
Again! They knew we were coming again! We managed to arrive early enough that they haven't left yet, but two Jedi isn't exactly the sort of thing that can manage to blockade a whole damn starport-- I can literally see them sticking the credits into ships-- Bastila and I are doing all we can, but these fu--
Wait a second, what is that?

Mission 1 (Kador, Atton Rand, Bao-Dur, and Zez, The Core)
-Councilor Atton Rand-
So, we still couldn't tell you exactly what Czerka's plan is, but it apparently involves a lot of companies, because according to this they've been investing in just about every exploratory mission they can get their hands on. Outward Vision? Few billion--yes, that's with a B-- credits. Varnal and Sons trade co? Few hundred thousands, mostly in raw goods rather than traceable currencies of any sort. West Unknown Corp? Sithspit, they're the biggest investor there, if "only" a plurality.
Now, I like colonies as much as the next guy-- but I sure don't trust anything Czerka might be inolved in, I'll tell you that.

Mission 2 (Juhani, Visas Marr, and Brianna, Mid-Rim)
-Councilor Brianna-
We have come up with something, yes, and all we had to do was stop and listen for a moment. If one calms their mind, and truly listens, you can hear many things in the Force-- the fall of rain on a newly born world precipitating a new horizon, new life and new adventures; the song of the ocean as it carves out new niches, new lands to explore, new countries to find; and, most importantly, the sorrow of a son ripped from his mother.
And one can follow that string from its resting point...to its source.
We arrived at the starport just as the Burden was landing, about to disembark its captives; about four hundred wookiee slaves.
We fought our way on to the vessel and claimed it, and found exactly what we needed-- a navicomputer. It should map out all the routes which these Czerka slavers follow, where they meet, where they congregate, in their filth and in their cruelty-- and of course, not a one will expect that the Burden has been claimed by the wookiees until it is much too late for them.
As promised, the wookiees have left-- they have a job to do, and Czerka is about to have the worst few months of their lives.

Mission 3 (Bastila, Mira, Mical, Outer Rim)
-Councilor Mira-
Kreia respected maybe two people on the Ebon Hawke-- the Exile, and maybe Mical, and I'm starting to see why.
When he found out what these men had done to Breda, he reacted about the same way she would have if someone hurt Meetra.
Namely, absolute and utter violence. His first move was a stasis field that damn well got everyone in the warehouse without a lightsaber, and then the next thing I know, he's tossing crates like candy. Credits and blood are mingling as they shatter, whole squads just evaporating-- I realize me and Bastila have that whole "Silent Knife" thing going on in a fight, but there are days I sort of wish I could just fight people with my brain like he does.
Right, anyway! At this point the two of us were no longer frozen in place-- so we started getting to work, and so did he, tuning on his lightsaber and helping us cut through them.
In the end, we managed to destroy the warehouse-- we gave the credits to the planetary government, always a good way to make friends, and then contacted Admiral Onasi to let him know where some weapons he might like could be located.
Mical claimed the yacht, supposedly so he could help his Padawan the next time she needs aid, rather than being forced to sit, helplessly, on another world.
