The Countess of Kytrand
PIRACY
With the fall of various factions, thousands of people, threatening to turn into millions a day are flocking to House Diplomats, begging for asylum and the means to seek vengeance on those who wronged them as well as wealth and power.
The House, all too pleased to take them in and convert more to their bizarre culture, have established a vetting process by having prospective citizens serve as Citizens-In-Training aboard older, less advanced vessels than what the House brings to an actual conflict. To that end the super old school Interdictor Class Cruiser, found in ready amounts as derelicts in space that can be repaired to full condition shockingly quickly, serves as an excellent testing ground. Surreptitiously, it allows the House Government to watch and judge who is a worthy candidate and who is a possible spy, as well as the occasional clandestine "Social Experiment."
The Interdictor Cruiser Whisper of Ursula is often the ship prospective citizens with a proclivity for aggression are sent to in order to gain first hand training in space way piracy, camping in space lanes and intercepting Military Grade vessels, often smaller than themselves, and sometimes even larger. Greatly is the Interdictor of the ancient Sith Empire under Malak often dismissed, to one's peril.
Countess Arianna Belasko, adoptive Mother of the Matriarch, has chosen to oversee one such act of piracy, in its attempt to catch and hold onto a Venator Freight Carrier, carrying rare, experimental technologies out of former SJC Territory. Agents aboard the vessel have sabotaged it's hyperspace arrestor so it will not detect the gravity well the interdictor throws up in time...
OBJECTIVE 1: STARFIGHTER COMBAT
Sub-Objective 1
Countess Belasko desires the Vessel to be as intact as possible. Even the weapons are to be taken whole. Attack with EMP/Ion weapons to disable the whole of its armament via coordinating the attacks of Nuetralizer TIE Bombers and assist in disabling point defense
Sub-Objective 2
This is complicated however by the unexpected arrival of a few squadrons of heavily armed X-Wings that were added to escort the vessel at the last second. Take flight in a TIE/Ret and destroy these squadrons by any means necessary
OBJECTIVE 2: ENEMY WITHIN
The Countess desires as few casualties as possible, promising one Bronzium Coin added to the pay of the House Interdictor crew for this particular assignment for every 7 crew members taken alive. To facilitate this, further acts of sabotage must commence to lower internal defense. Fight as one of the undercover House Agents sent aboard, and make sure they never see you coming, and do not kill unless left with no alternative. A crewman dead is coin not earned
OBJECTIVE 3: BOARDING PARTY
Fight as one of many heavily armed boarding teams equipped with both lethal and non lethal weapons. For every squadmate who comes back alive the boarding team members will be allowed one crate of sensitive cargo taken from the vessel.
Happy Hunting.

Countess Belasko awaited in her lavish personal quarters aboard the Gaze of Ursula, Multiple feeds showing her how the crew would react and how the battle would go. The House Navy, as it grew more sophisticated in its tactics, would have to prove it could do the job using inferior equipment. Both High and low ranks would be observing and guiding potential Navy oriented citizens into aggressive but controlled Piracy of its enemies.
The gorgeous blond Countess was tempted to order nothing but killing but the point was to teach self control. The person actually hiding under Arianna's flesh was, as ever, revolted by how tempted this persona was to start killing when an opportunity presented itself. But it had been having more trouble reigning her in since the death of Lancelot.
"Crew of the Whisper of Ursula, this is Countess Belasko speaking. The vessel is caught in our interdiction field and we are moving to cut off their escape. Launch fighters and boarding parties. Good Luck...may the Dark Side serve you..." The Countess said in an almost lustful purr of the voice
