A Shield of Beskar
Arthos Vizsla has returned from self-imposed exile. Instead of only dwelling on past mistakes working as a bounty hunter, he had resolved to form a Covert in the same tradition as the Mandalorian Coverts of old - though he does not swear to The Way.
Not content to merely found a settlement on a planet, Arthos has turned his attention to the stars instead. Mandalorians have conquered planets across the Galaxy but whenever they reach for the stars they are burned; he has decided that to found a Covert in the depths of space is a challenge worthy of a Mandalorian.
Intending to form a defensive ring of smaller stations around a central, larger, station, he has decided that what is required for this to be successful is a XQ5 Platform protected by a small circle comprised of three K0-10 Defence Stations.

THREAD #1 — THE IRON PRICE - ONGOING THREAD
XQ5 Platforms are not the most expensive space stations in the Galaxy, but they are still expensive enough that a large amount of funds is require for their purchase. These funds are only part of the problem, however, as this station is to be the site of a Covert - the very name of which denotes that it must be hidden. As such, even the funds used to purchase the station must not be able to give even the slightest hint as to the station's owners or location.
Thankfully, private military groups based in the Core and Mid Rim run missions almost exclusively in the Outer Rim and they need to ensure that their men get paid. Raid their armoured payroll ship and take the credits required to make the purchase - the seller won't ask questions so long as the blood on the credits is mostly metaphorical.

THREAD #2 — TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES - ONGOING THREAD
One of the required K0-10 Defence Stations has been located in a very strange location - the literal middle of nowhere. A station had been bought and paid for by a third party and transport arranged but the delivery was never made as the station and its delivery tug disappeared almost without a trace. Now, months after the initial sale, a random trader has confirmed a sighting of the delivery tug, with the station still firmly attached.
As Blackwell prepares to reclaim their lost stock, there is a window of opportunity. Board the delivery tug ship and dispatch any of the malfunctioning droids that caused the delivery issue in the first place - then escape from the area with the cargo before Blackwell's reclamation teams arrive.

THREAD #3 — STEALING FROM PIRATES IS LEGAL, RIGHT? - ONGOING THREAD
The second and third of the required K0-10 Defence Stations is currently being operated by a very ballsy group of pirates that have set themselves up on the outskirts of the Mandalore system. They seem to think that the Mandalorian people are weak enough that they will do nothing about pirates on the edge of their home system so long as they limit themselves to some light raiding of non-affiliated traders.
They'd probably be right, honestly, if it wasn't for the fact that Arthos believes their stations could be better repurposed as a part of the shield. The downside is that they are fully stocked with starfighters; take out the starfighters and disable the stations with barrages of ion weaponry.
