Bandomeer
Given the chaos caused by the assassination of the board of a prominent guild in the Hydian Trade League, the Hydian Way was now vulnerable. The situation was there to be exploited and Thel’s eyes fell upon Bandomeer. More specifically, the mineral mines on the planet. Calling upon his Xexto syndicate allies, he put together a strike force. He utilised his mercenary contacts, obtained through his connections with the Hutt daimyo Skelgok, to gather additional transport ships and weapons. Those ships would bring the strike force to Bandomeer. He would lead the attack, along with a fellow Sith he had worked with on Skako. The attack would be directed against the largest of the planet’s mines, belonging to the Bandomeer mining guild. The aim was to wipe out the mine’s security force and gain control of the mining facility. It wouldn’t be too difficult to bring the other mines to heel, after that. Once all were under his control, he would install new leadership that was answerable to him. If anything leaked to the press, it could be explained away as the Xexto syndicate being given consent by the mining guild’s leaders to move in and ensure the operations continued security in response to the risk of pirates and other raiders. Those killed could retrospectively be branded as criminals and spies belonging to rival operations.
Arriving at the planet, in his transport ship, the strike force’s ships surrounded his. He signalled to them and the Sith champion. “Remember, I want any resistance dealt with swiftly and decisively. Show them no mercy.” There was one thing that would make it slightly more difficult for him and the other Sith. He instructed them to not use their lightsaber and to instead use a blaster. He didn’t want Sith involvement being leaked to the press. Thel wouldn’t be using his saber either, though he would keep it clipped to his belt and concealed. He instead chose a pistol.
Thel boarded his scout ship and flew from the hangar of his transport. Descending through the atmosphere and towards the facility, he was followed by the strike force. The mining facility had no anti-air defences, so there wasn’t anything to stop them from landing. The security would only have time to hastily get into defensive positions.
The ships landed and Xextos poured out. A hail of blaster fire from the Xextos was directed at security personnel and retreating mine workers. Thel leapt from his ship and opened fire. Utilising his force-enhanced reflexes he quickly shot down two security personnel. Thel had chosen to dress in his usual robes. The Xextos quickly forced the security to retreat. “Advance,” he called out to his allies.
