An opportunity had presented itself to the Jedi, an opportunity that could not be passed up. Thanks to intelligence gathered by a confidential informant of Jedi Councillor Murielle Oe, the Jedi had been made aware of the details regarding the gathering up and forced recruitment of a large group of force-sensitive youths within Imperial space.
Rather than allow these younglings to be corrupted and brainwashed by the Sith, the Jedi would act to intercept the operation at a lonely asteroid base known as Exodus 2-1-2.
Known by most simply as the Waystation, Exodus 2-1-2's only redeeming quality in life was that it happened to be located at the perfect intersection of several local hyperspace routes. Thus, the Imperium had deemed it worthy of creating a small outpost to serve as a rest and refueling station. In the case of the capture and re-education of the youths in question, several small groups of younglings would be gathered temporarily at the station before being sent together on a larger transport to Korriban.
The Jedi Council had given command of the operation to newly-appointed Councillor Hal Farstrider. Accompanying him would be Jedi Knight Nakoma Gwenelda, as well as Masters Tytos and Guhoo Armstrong, just to make sure things went smoothly.
The situation itself was rather straight forward. Thanks to docking codes provided by the informant, the Jedi strike team would pose as a straggling transport loaded with younglings to join the rest. Once they had docked and gained entrance to the station, they would have to move not only to secure the children but also to cut off the base communications so as to prevent word of the attack reaching any possible reinforcements too soon.
The only bad news about the whole situation was that the details were a bit...hazy, in terms of what sort of resistance the Jedi were likely to meet. At the very least there would be a score of basic troopers, but the informant couldn't rule out the possibility of Sith presence as well. The Empress and her flunkies had been behaving increasingly erratic and paranoid, recently, so there was no telling where the security measures would have been beefed up.
Hence why this particular team had been assembled. They were the best...well, sort of. At the moment their craft had just exited hyperspace, Farstrider and Gwenelda at the controls while the "old folks" sat on two jumpseats placed just outside the open cockpit doorway. There would be time for a few last words or actions before they were within range of the station. At that point, it was go time.
