The lush world of Rodia had a proud history of support of the Galactic Republic in times long gone. It was a proud bastion of technological and scientific advancement, and it was from here that one of the most numerous species in the galaxy stemmed. Many people in the galaxy had taken to speaking Rodian as a second language, and it was not uncommon at all to see them filling the ranks of every nation and faction playing on the stage of galactic politics.
The jungles and swamps that blanketed the surface of Rodia were broken up only by the mighty domes that encased the many cities that the Rodians built. They were immense shield networks that helped protect their very safely guarded homeworld, and they were a fixture of the isolated protection that the Rodians clung to through most of their history.
But the Galactic Republic was no longer around, and its former supporters that were neither conquered or in a place to submit found themselves in an uneasy position. For the Empire was on the march. Once again the mighty Crimsons banners of the despotic Sith were being flown from one end of the galaxy to the other in order to bring peace and order to the lawless regions of space. It was they who determined who was lawless, or even sentient, and as that was determined they would do with the deviant worlds as they wished.
Rodia did pose a special problem to the Sith Empire however. Those powerful domes would never be breached as they an armed force that stood before them was wiped out. Something had to be done about them so that the Imperial war machine could bring order to the Rodian streets and bring them into the fold of the proper galactic governance.
Enter then a small team, a tiny strike force when compared to the mighty fleet breaking shields that encased much of the world. They had the intelligence they needed, and bore the munitions needed to carry out their charge.
Two Sith Acolytes, @Taalong Vorr and @Sarla Malvern, rising stars among the Sith ranks were teamed up once more to lead a charge. Matched with the assistance of @Arcturus Mars, a very skilled soldier of the Imperial Army they led a small strike force that would obliterate the source of power for those mighty shields, bringing them down and power to the Empire.
But it was not an easy task before them. The planetary generator complex was massive, a city in itself, and their team was not remotely large enough to take on even a fraction of its security. They needed cunning to endure their task.
And cunning was what they had, as a traitor lived among the Rodians. He had provided them with the access codes and a transport vessel. The vessel, while appearing to be loaded with supplies for the on duty crews, was in fact filled with thermite charges!
The thermite was actually a back up plan however, as it would be a reckless and wasteful way of bringing down the shields. Instead there was another way. By accessing the primary mainframe they could simply overload the generators, forcing repairs that would take nearly a month, more then enough time. But that would require accessing the primary control room, which was the true difficulty.
Taalong Vorr knew well their struggle, and while he was indifferent to the method they disabled the shield, he was eager to be the first to kill Rodian warriors in the battle for their planet.
As the transport they road in shook and rocked, they entered through the outer shield of the generator complex, and began their mission.
"Do we dare attempt domination of the control hub?" Taalong Vorr asked the others. "Or shall we separate to place charges strategically to bring the facility down?" Vorr merely presented the options as it was what they had. In either case... their duty was dangerous and would inevitably end in many deaths.
