Tonight's heist brought to you by Pearl Jam.
The critical issue of travelling with a cloaking field was as follows: Hyperspace reversion is a schutta. No matter how prescient the pilot, how well-tuned the cloaking device, there always remains a gap of fractions of a second between reversion and the cloak engaging. The wise pilot with a good set of maps saves his reversion vulnerability window for circumstances like battlefield noise, the shadows of moons, and so forth, if he can swing a job that precise.
Most of the time, being the greatest living expert on the White Current off Pydyr and J't'p'tan meant that Je'gan had no real offensive Force powers to throw around. In that sense, he was indeed weak. But as any specialized Master will tell you, at Master levels weakness is a very unsettling thing to face. It tell the wise duellist that his or her enemy is very, very strong at something very, very specific.
When the Oneiromancer exited hyperspace over Chroma Zed, nothing happened. No system defenses blared alerts, no gravitic sensors picked up much of anything, no Templars awoke with 'a bad feeling about this.' The ship, for all intents and purposes, did not exist. Said nonexistent ship and its occupants, cloaked and then some by the meditating Master within, glided toward the space city that was its target. The city had once been called the Teferi-class Star Dreadnought Shepherd. Now it was the Dooku-class, apparently, with such minor modifications as to stamp the brand of the CIS upon it at the shallowest levels.
The man who designed it had provided each member of this heist crew with blueprints, many days earlier. They were as ready as they could ever be.
If the space city detected them, it would raise shields. Once they nestled up to the hull and began the plan, they would be noticed, and very quickly. Then it would be a race.
They all knew the plan. As soon as the hatch opened, they would be detectable, and he could get these crammed-in coconspirators off his ship. @[member="Cody Weadge"] was on virus duty, attempting to force a microjump. @[member="Triko"] and @[member="Cora Passek"] were tasked with making explosions, both as distractions and as fodder for Je'gan's mentalism. Jorus would remain as the getaway driver and the ship guard. Rosa Mazhar would be the healer. @[member="Mia Monroe"], @[member="Moira Skaldi"], @[member="Junko Ike"], @[member="Jared Ovmar"], and @[member="Lucien Cordel"] would annihilate whatever opposition came their way – and hopefully secure the bridge and main engineering.
Stage one, either by virus or by bridge control, microjump while spurring a mass evacuation. Je'gan would be filling the Shepherd with appropriate mentalism.
Stage two: Finish microjump, raise shields, finish evacuation while maintaining control.
Stage three: Jump for the asteroid field of Kira, which they'd painstakingly filled with traps. Lose or destroy all pursuers there.
Stage four: Make the final jump to meet the buyer.
OOC/ As agreed, folks, we've given CIS one week to get their ducks in order, and then an additional half-week to let their key people clear up some IRL stuff, plus 24 hours' notice. Let's keep this clean, limit the whining, and make no assumptions. This is a PVP thing, ideally. Respect posting order with the Confederacy when appropriate. We can keep at the other thread, setting up the asteroid field for if/when we get there, but this is the heist.
The ship crew is 85% droids.
Bonus points for all Ocean's-movies references.
