Mission Log Episode VIII: Raid Date: 37:6:16 - 37:6:20
Kethan and Major Saxs both received a message from Alliance command requesting that they concentrated their efforts on the Probe droid supply chain. On informing the command staff it was suggested that they should raid a manufacturing facility and cripple the supply chain at its very root. After some intensive research by Samic, it was decided that they would hit Danth Artifice's factory on Woor. The factory is responsible for the production and assembly of the control boards and hardware interface equipment for all Probe droids. The Hammer landed at twilight on Woor a few days later. Chaide and Kal, dressed in Imperial Officer uniforms, smuggled the rest of the team out in cargo containers onboard two Imperial Skiffs. The team members concealed in the containers were Kethan, JD, Samic, Krib and Zulah. Once they were about half way to the factory the team pulled into a nearby wood and hid the containers and one of the skiffs. They then proceeded to a cliff that over looked the factory from behind and spent a night and a day observing the activities in the fenced compound. Amongst their observations they noticed that, in addition to Danth's own security personnel, the compound also housed an Imperial rapid deployment base, which was support by at least a squad of stormtroopers. During this time Zulah also managed to decrypt the comm signal that they where using and determined that there were at least fifteen different voices over the channel. Happy with the odds, Chaide decided on the best point of entry into the compound and selected his team - Kethan, JD and Krib. Whilst Chaide and his team sneaked into the compound, Samic would provide fire support in the role of a sniper with Kal spotting for him, and Zulah would monitor communications and provide additional fire support for those left on the cliff. Around 3.00am local time, Chaide and his team abseiled down the cliff face and sneaked towards the centre of the rear fence. On close inspection they found that the steel wire fence was not electrified. Thankful for their good fortune, they proceeded to cut a hole in the fence. With the help of Samic, Chaide and his team managed to dispatch the first three perimeter guards as they circled the rear of the factory. Chaide and his team then sneaked across to the back of the factory and bypassed the security fenced compound at the back of the factory. Whilst Chaide was trying to break in to the factory via a fire door, the remaining perimeter sentry was drawing near to his fallen comrades when Samic, Kethan and Krib brought him and his two dogs down in a hail of silenced weapon's fire. Within moments Chaide had the fire door open and all four perimeter guards where down and not an alarm had been raised. As Chaide stepped into the brightly lit room, a man dressed in a white jacket looked up from his control panel with a quizzical look on his face. Chaide very nearly shot him, but his morals took over and he just tied him up and left him in the corner. The rest of the team soon followed him into the room, which looked to be the power plant for the factory. Kal, on seeing the team enter the factory, commed them and asked how they planned to empty the building. It was Chaide who answered, "We'll set off the fire alarm". As the fire alarm rang, the team hid in the power plant whilst the factory personnel evacuated the building. On hearing the alarm go off, the two Stormtroopers guarding their base started to head towards the factory to see what was going on. That idea was soon put to a stop by Samic and Zulah. As the two Stormtroopers fell, the door to the base opened and Kal fired a missile in through the door gutting the base and the remaining Stormtroopers. Meanwhile, the team inside the factory started planting charges on various manufacturing machines, structural pillars and warehouse goods under JD's guidance. They encountered a few security personnel, but they were quickly dealt with. Once the charges were set, the team evacuated the building taking the tied up power plant operator with them. They then dumped him off outside the compound and proceeded to climb up the cliff to meet up with the others. Once they reached the top of the cliff they turned just in time to see the factory explode and collapse in on itself. The team then headed off back to the Hammer the same way they arrived.
