Directorate Officer
Union-class Assault Carrier Ocean Tide, somewhere in deep space
Gir walked down the carrier's corridors, noting an unusually motley array of peoples plying its corridors. He could see the familiar green-blue suits of the Directorate marines mixed with the armors and uniforms of Republic soldiers and mercenaries. Gir eyed a pair of Republic troopers as they parted ways for a bulky battle droid to pass through him. Gir followed suit, pressing himself against the glowing corridors to let the behemoth amble towards one of the ship's countless hangars. He felt a brief draft of warm air around him as a shadowy figure came up alongside him. He turned his eyes onto the defel.
"Have you acquired any new tidbits of information?" asked Gir.
The information broker shook his head, "Not anything worth mentioning. Only some rumors about a street gang fight on the north sector of Taxon City."
"Nothing that we can use to our advantage?"
"Not likely," replied Tibbs.
Gir nodded. While Gir still felt uneasy about the defel, the information broker hadn't lead them astray yet. Yet he couldn't help but feel that Tibbs was hiding something from them. He know that was almost the nature of information brokers, yet Tibbs did a poor job of concealing that to him. Gir had contented himself into knowing that Tibbs would likely reveal it to them sooner or later, whether he meant to or not. After all, the man's own people were keeping on eye on not only Tibb's personal actions, but his electronic ones on his ship as well. The two figures passed into a large conference room into which a large number of soldiers were gathered around a holo-projector. Gir parted from the defel's company, letting the alien step up to the holo-projector.
"Greetings...soldiers," started Tibbs, "we will begin discussing the Taxon City operation, with which we will hopefully be able to capture some wanted criminals to bring back to Republic court. I trust that you all have read the datafile that has some of the basic information on this case? While it would be ideal to take all suspects into custody, it is vital that Tessk, Julia Sal-Horn, and Mon Glomis are captured. If we have them, we can track down their followers eventually. Captain Quee?"
Gir stepped forward towards the holo-projector, which flared to life to display a green and blue moon that orbited a large, amber gas giant. The projector quickly zoomed in on the moon to show a city built out of metallic spires that rose up a lush grassland. At a quick glance, Taxon City appeared to be in the height of its splendor, but a closer glance revealed rusting buildings and trash-littered streets.
"This is Taxon City," stated Gir, "the Ocean Tide will move in to hover overhead the city. We hope that in doing so, we can achieve the necessary air superiority which will allow your peoples to do their part on the ground. ships and droppods from the Ocean Tide can then take you to the ground to complete our main objectives. The biggest question is how do your peoples want to accomplish that task. So what approach do your peoples intend to take?"
Gir turned his eyes from [member="Valkren Calderon"], one of the Republic's more elite ground soldiers, to [member="Face"], a mandalorian mercenary, and then to Major Goins, a relatively seasoned Directorate marine officer. The trifecta of forces that they were represented showed a variety of motives and capabilities, yet he had no doubt that they could turn those attributes into an effective team.
and hopefully
