STRATEGIC OPERATIONS EXECUTIVE (SOE) — AFTER-ACTION REPORT
Ref: HSS/OPS/NS-874-AAR-021
Classification: SECRET (Disclosable to HMD, RRN, OPR) // NOFORN // NOGA
Author/Unit: Capt. Lysa Arden, HSS Incident Review Cell, New Sterandel
Date of Report: Three Weeks Post-Coruscant Invasion
Incident Window: Coruscant Invasion
1) SUBJECT
Exfiltration of H.R.H. Princess Reima Vitalis and 178 civilians from central Coruscant during Imperial seizure; critical assistance rendered by civilian operator traveling under GA identity Jasa Corven. Event concluded with safe embarkation to a neutral transport and subsequent medical reception in New Sterandel in the Renascent Heirate.
2) SUMMARY (SHORT)
H.R.H. the Princess Royal traveled to Coruscant ahead of the Imperial invasion in order to effectuate her discharge and separation from the Galactic Alliance Defense Force (GADF). Imperial invasion commenced after this effort concluded. The Princess Royal attempted to evacuate using commercial transport, but the vessel crashed (circumstances unknown; suspected Imperial interference unconfirmed). Crash ruptured a top-level commuter tram tunnel, derailing the tram ferrying civilians seeking evacuation. Using metro undercity spurs and service corridors, the survivors of the crash moved from the Federal District to a freight embarkation point 13.4 km south-east. Movement windows were created/enhanced by infrastructure manipulation (signal re-timing, false congestion injection) executed by Jasa Corven. Opposition contact was limited to two enemy sweeps; no direct firefight occurred. One structural incident (ceiling fall) caused multiple injuries including to Corven. Final embarkation achieved under cover of a sanitation barge convoy.
3) CASUALTIES
- Evacuees: 2 KIA (succumbed to injuries sustained in initial crash); 6 WIA (non-life-threatening).
- Principals: Corven: injuries as above; H.R.H. the Princess Royal: minor contusions, no structural injury.
4A) MEDICAL: CORVEN, JASA (FIELD & RECEIVING FINDINGS)
Mechanism: Conduit/ceiling impact in tunnel K-221; subsequent shoulder traction while lifting debris; repeated low-oxygen exertion; slips/falls on flooded surface.
Field Observations (by H.R.H. the Princess Royal & ad-hoc medics):
- Respiratory pain with splinting; point tenderness left chest.
- Left shoulder deformity post-lift, consistent with anterior dislocation; reduced in the field using traction-countertraction technique; immediate pain relief reported.
- Right forearm deformity with crepitus, consistent with closed fracture (mid-shaft radius; ulna suspected); improvised vacuum splint applied with baton sheath and bandage.
- Multiple abrasions/contusions to forearms, scapular region, and right hip.
- Tinnitus (L>R) following nearby overpressure event.
Receiving Facility (NSRI) Initial Diagnostics:
- Ribs: Fractures, left ribs 6–8 (nondisplaced). No pneumothorax.
- Shoulder: Anterior dislocation, left, reduced prior to arrival, joint congruent on holo-XR; labral irritation suspected; placed in sling/immobilizer.
- Forearm: Closed mid-shaft radius fracture, right with greenstick of ulna; closed reduction and long-arm cast applied; neurovascular status intact pre-/post-reduction.
- Wrist: Dorsal sprain features secondary to forearm injury; no carpal fracture.
- Acoustic: Mild high-frequency sensorineural loss left ear; intermittent tinnitus.
- Other: Superficial lacerations/abrasions cleaned; tetanus/booster per protocol; dehydration corrected.
Prognosis: Favorable. Anticipated bone healing 6–8 weeks (forearm), 3–4 weeks (ribs). Shoulder to undergo physio to prevent recurrent instability.
4B) MENTAL HEALTH: BEHAVIOURAL ASSESSMENT (NSRI/HMD)
Screening & Instruments: HMD–CAPS (PTS cluster): moderate; GAD-7: 9 (mild–moderate); PHQ-9: 6 (mild); Insomnia Index: elevated; clinical interview corroborated by collateral.
Symptom Profile (post-incident):
- Re-experiencing (intrusive memories/trauma dreams 2–3×/week; triggers include curfew sirens, metallic dust smell, ventilation thumps).
- Hyperarousal (startle to overhead clatter; scan behavior in corridors/platforms; sleep onset difficulty).
- Avoidance (tunnel-like spaces; crowded lift banks without preplanned exits).
- Cognition/mood (survivor guilt; moral-injury features linked to GA abandonment orders; concentration fatigue under multitasking).
- Post-adrenaline somatic "crash" (tremor/nausea 60s after high-stress actions).
Diagnosis (provisional): Trauma- and stressor-related disorder; Acute Stress Reaction with high risk of progression to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Given persistent symptom load >2 weeks, flag for formal PTSD rule-in at ≥30 days post-incident.
Risk & Capacity: No suicidal or homicidal ideation; no psychosis; insight/judgment intact; decisional capacity present.
Operational Impact & Mitigations:
- Effective crisis functioning; vulnerability in the hour post-incident, schedule decompression/cover during this window.
- Noise-dampening/hearing protection for trigger environments; predictable route planning preferred.
- Pair with kinetic partner to handle force thresholds; maintain map discipline and predefined decision gates to reduce cognitive load.
Plan: Trauma-focused CBT/EMDR-equiv. weekly × 6–8 weeks; alpha-1 modulator qhs × 14 nights for nightmares; sleep-hygiene protocol; grounding strategies issued; follow-up with HMD Behavioral Medicine or equivalent within 7 days of redeployment.
5) DEVELOPMENTS SINCE ARRIVAL
H.R.H. the Princess Royal approached the Strategic Operations Executive three weeks following the party's reception in New Sterandel, and reported that Corven expressed anger and dissatisfaction with circumstances following the fall of the Core and the Deep Core, specifically with the public failure of the Galactic Alliance to retaliate or even make noises regarding recapturing the lost territory. The Princess Royal worried about Corven's state of mind in the context of her stated goal to leave the Galactic Alliance. Until this time, the assumption of Renascent Medical Services staff, including Capt. Arden, was that Corven would be delivered to Fondor following her convalescence and clearance for travel. As per the Princess Royal's request, SOE personnel approached Corven to debrief.
Corven was given unrestricted access to media and the holonet with restricted communications as per standard procedure. Orderlies in the facility reported that she followed the news obsessively, particularly attentive to coverage of Coruscant and the fall of the Core and Deep Core regions, as well as coverage of Galactic Alliance response. Corven became increasingly agitated at the apparent lack of urgency in recovering Coruscant and the Core and Deep Core regions. Corven expressed an immediate frustration with the Alliance and stated she wished to resign her commission. Corven, who was under medical supervision and heavily medicated at the time, was encouraged not to make any decisions in the immediate term. Meanwhile, SOE operatives set about to determine her official status with the SIA and the GA and, at the strong insistence of H.R.H. the Princess Royal, consulted with the Attorney General on what options, if any, the Heirate had in the disposition of Corven.
The SOE discovered through discreet inquiries through Senator Tolliver's office that Corven had been labeled as missing, presumed Killed in Action (KIA) during the Coruscant invasion. This information was kept from Corven until her condition stabilized, at which point she was offered consultation with an attorney. Eventually, Corven made the decision that she would remain legally dead and assume a new identity. The SOE agreed (again, at the Princess Royal's strong insistence) as a payment in kind for Corven's role in the safe return of H.R.H. the Princess Royal, to supply her with documentation in support of that identity. The Attorney General's office assured the Government and SOE that the Heirate incurred no legal liability in assisting Corven as there was no corrupt motive involved. However, information relating to Corven's escape from Coruscant and presence at Aegis has been otherwise scrubbed and records will be redacted and classified. This memo itself will be classified and marked appropriately for NOFORN and NOGA.
