Mission Report 3947 BBY Q2
Mission 1 (Master Brianna, Master Juhani, and Knight Breda, 2 Padawans, The Core)
-Knight Breda Sunguard-
We have been contacted by a Bounty Hunter trying to turn on his Czerka employers, offering information to us in exchange for leniency and protection from his former bosses. He will only meet with Jedi, apparently the Republic's military is too corrupt to be trusted. We will be making first contact in the Deadly Den cantina-- an ominous premonition if I've ever heard one, and I have.
Masters Juhani and Brianna, meanwhile, will be prowling the nearby roofs, keeping watch for enemies-- assassins, that sort of thing, you know how it is.
Still, I have a bad feeling about this

Mission 2 (Grandmaster Bao-Dur, Master Atton Rand, Master Bastila Shan, 4 Padawans, and Knight Kador Shirot, The Mid-Rim)
-Councilor Atton Rand-
Well, now that the kid's done making goofy eyes at the Captain, maybe we can get some work done?
On Bothawui, General Kadans Vador, the man in charge of their anti-Czerka efforts, has been receiving flimsi messages in the usual vein-- you know, chopped up ads stuck on so there's no handwriting that can be traced back to whoever's writing the message, all of that. The real big problem, of course, is that it's in the same cipher as an old Serial Killer from the Exar Kun days who never got caught because everyone was distracted by the Sith Lord.
So of course, conveniently, he both did not bite it in the forty years between then and now--possible, if strange, considering how young that would make him in his first spree-- but also decided to come out of retirement just so he could threaten some general-- ballsy, considering his original targets were college students-- and of course, this just so happens to be at the exact moment when it is most convenient for Czerka to have it happen.
For some strange reason, I'm not buying that arc of a story. Call me cynical, but I'm thinking that perhaps the giant corporation has concoted some sort of fairy tale to justify the murder they're about to commit.
Either way, we have Jedi guarding the general day and night-- and I really mean it this time; like I said, Kador's not making goofy eyes at the captain anymore, or at least not right now, like, maybe in the grander scheme of things--
You know what, I'm just gonna stop talking and start looking.

Mission 3 (Mira, Visas, Padawan Ralec Varn, Outer Rim)
-Councilor Mira-
There is a sound in the rim, a wordless thing of agony, echoing and echoing, drowning out all else in its path. I do not know what it is, but I can sense the fury, the pain, behind it-- it is as if I am hearing souls die, as if I am knowing the wordless shriek of loss again, like Katarr shouted through a closed mouth. Czerka or no, whatever is causing this must be stopped, and it must be stopped soon.

Mission 1 (Master Brianna, Master Juhani, and Knight Breda, 2 Padawans, The Core)
-Knight Breda Sunguard-
So somebody tried to kill me today-- I'm getting way too used to that, I suppose.
We met the "Defector" in the cantina, the Padawans and I-- the Masters, of course, were watching from the roofs, ensuring no sniper attacks.
When we got there, we engaged with the defector in conversation-- until he ultimately revealed he had a number of explosives tied to him, that Czerka was threatening his mother. I pitied him, in truth.
But not enough to avoid cutting off his arm when he revealed the detonator. Before I could interrogate him further, he cracked his tooth and ate a cyanide pill-- but only after telling us where his mother might be found.
I have already notified the authorities-- they are moving to secure and protect her as we speak.

Mission 2 (Grandmaster Bao-Dur, Master Atton Rand, Master Bastila Shan, 4 Padawans, and Knight Kador Shirot, The Mid-Rim)
-Councilor Atton Rand-
More letters, more threats, more everything. The general is starting to lose his nerve. At the moment, he's "just" refusing to head out to physical HQ in favor of holos to present orders. The problem, of course, is that he's asking his soldiers to take a risk he won't.
The good news is, as this "killer" has been sending more notes, I've noticed something kind of important: it's a droid.
Time to save the day, I suppose.

-Councilor Visas Marr-
It was a thing so subtle I did not realize it at first. But as I've brought us closer and closer to it, I've realized what it was: a hutt slave center, where they are training new servants day by day, tormenting them, breaking them, then shipping them off to the flesh markets and to their hutt masters.
It cannot stand. I refuse to let it continue.

Mission 2 (Grandmaster Bao-Dur, Master Atton Rand, Master Bastila Shan, 4 Padawans, and Knight Kador Shirot, The Mid-Rim)
-Councilor Atton Rand-
We set a trap, and the washing machine set it off gloriously. "Supposedly", we grew so disgusted by the general's cowardice that we abandoned him to his fate for greener pastures and more important work. In truth, of course, the kid and I stuck around, just, you know, hiding, and waited in the general's study with him.
And soon enough, a rusty, battered, Sith War era droid wandered in. Oh it looked like a protocol droid, and it acted like a protocol droid-- but I don't know many protocol droids with integrated vibroblades, do you?
As it struck, we went to work-- I sprang from the shadows and chopped its head from its shoulder, sending it to the ground. A further examination of the remains revealed that a Czerka Exec way back when had been experimenting with the damn thing, trying to integrate assassin droid programming into a protocol droid frame so it could act as a body guard. It went berzerk with the two conflicting programming basis, and went on a killing spree-- until, finally, someone wiped the damn thing's memory.
Then Czerka unwiped it, and the rest is history.

Mission 3 (Mira, Visas, and Padawan Ralec Varn, Outer Rim)
-Councilor Visas Marr-
I destroyed it, and have freed the slaves from their bondage. Kordo the Hutt, master of this place, lies dead, strangled by his own dancer. The building itself has been destroyed in Turbolaser fire.
The hutts are less than thrilled with what we've done, but to hell with them. Those who would unleash suffering on this scale do not deserve to be happy. The military isn't happy either, nor the diplomatic corp, who both hoped to ally with the Hutts and use them to rebuild or against Czerka. But those who know the hutts are happy to see this done-- more importantly, the Supreme Chancellor has heard our report, and in no uncertain terms said if we had discovered what we discovered before the war with Czerka, the Hutts would be our foes. As is, she's still sorely tempted.
(Event...failure?)
was her name Leia? 
And did she have a twin brother?
