On an isolated and frigid planet, one structure was active. Multiple combat and security droids patrolled the top of intimidatingly large duracrete walls. Uninsulated electric cable lined the exterior of the walls in neat rows, humming with lethal energy. Sunlight was fading rapidly, casting an ominous shadow over the landscape. And, on a hill overlooking the compound, a lone figure lay in the snow. This figure was Viper. As the Super Tactical Droid watched through his macrobinoculars, he ran through the files he had downloaded in his head. Private compound of Maevale Worscu, rich and influential Zabrak female. Worscu is a Czerka Corporation executive. And as the droid observed the fortress, he couldn't help but notice several security issues. Although the structure was intimidating, it was more of a power flex than a practical military compound. The landing bays were too low, meaning an infiltrator (like Viper) could use an ascension gun to access them. The defense weapons were heavy, military-class turbolaser batteries, good for handling large assaults and battlecruisers but not small targets.
Studying the patrolling droids, he couldn't help but think how fortunate he was. Viper spotted at least four BX-series commando droids and three KX-model security droids, as well as a few B2 SBDs. Viper was interested mainly in the first two types. Grimly, he reached down and pressed the button on the detonator remote. On the opposite side of the compound, several clouds of smoke went up, followed by the blasts of six thermal detonators. Immediately, most of the guard droids headed toward the explosions while the turbolasers began scouring the air for an attacker. Now, there was only one commando droid, one KX droid, and two SBDs on Viper's side. Lowering his binoculars and raising his DC-15A, he fired. Since the B2s were of relatively low intelligence, the Super Tactical Droid targeted the other guards first. The commando droid fell with two well-placed headshots, with the KX being racked by eight shots while it sought cover. The large security droid toppled, falling behind one of the turbolaser turrets.
By now, even the SBDs were on alert, furtively scanning the horizon to no avail. Rising from his cover, Viper sprinted with superhuman speed towards the fortress. Blaster fire struck the ground around him, but he evaded the shots, his bulky frame flying over the ground. Fortunately, one of the turbolaser turrets unwisely tried to join in the conflict, firing two green bolts that slammed into the snow. A cloud of smoke, steam, and dirt obscured Viper for a few moments, which was all he needed.
Arriving at the base of the compound, he aimed his DC-15 upwards and pulled the trigger, sending the grappling cable flying toward one of the landing bays. It caught, and after a quick tug to ensure the security of the attachment, Viper reeled it in. Running up the wall while holding the cable, he jumped into the bay and pulled his WESTAR pistol. Two security droids turned to face him, but Viper was faster and fired two shots from his blaster, destroying them. Quickly running over to a control panel, he grabbed his computer spike and pushed it into the socket. The device let out a small whirr, and then the cameras in the landing bay stopped updating and were replaced with a still image from a few hours ago: security droids at attention, one shuttle parked in the bay, and a maintenance droid frozen halfway through fixing a wall panel. To any observer, nothing was happening. Strapping the DC-15 to his back, he headed into the depths of the compound.
(Roll for there being the droid types Viper needed: 16)

(Roll for not getting shot: 13)

Viper moved as swiftly and silently down the hallway as his robust body allowed, not bothering to shut off any of the cameras. He doubted that whoever was manning the cameras checked on the identity of every droid that passed their screens. However, as he hounded a corner, he spotted two SBDs heading toward him. "Halt or be destroyed," one intoned as the two SBDs lowered their arms and started firing. Shots whizzed down the hall past Viper, barely missing him as he ducked back into cover. The shots stopped soon after, and the clanking of droid feet could be heard as Viper drew his knife and crouched. The two enemy droids came into the intersection, guns blazing, but their shots were aimed at chest level and missed. Coldly, the super tactical droid sprang, jabbing his knife into the knee joint of the first droid and using his momentum to kick out the legs of the second. Both droids toppled, and before they could get up, Viper was on them. He blasted one of the B2s at point-blank range, then grabbed the other by the leg and flung it into the high-tech-looking wall. The SBD crumpled, and for good measure, Viper blasted it in the head. Suddenly, an alarm blared and the blast doors immediately surrounding him slammed shut. He was trapped. There is an eighty-six percent chance that the plan I am about to attempt will succeed, he thought. Viper dropped a smoke grenade and let it fill the room with a concealing white fog. Suddenly, the door behind him opened, and two security droids that Viper could not identify because of the smoke walked in. Silently, Viper fired a single shot with his pistol and then immediately moved a few feet away. The choice turned out to be good, however, since the surprised security units fired on his last known spot, accidentally revealing their own positions. Viper fired another two shots, and the two foes fell.
