Mission Briefing 32 - Tropical Whale

Chosen Gravel Operation Order

(DC-01 Excerpt)

Situation/Mission

The Polar Thrash is an Action IV transport that has chartered a cargo of grain from Kinyen and is expected to depart Kinyen with it's full load of cargo on CD 7-20 with delivery to Imperial food processing centers intended for Imperial Military customers.

DC-01 is tasked with capturing the Polar Thrash before it departs the system and to redirect this ship and its valuable cargo to Rebel Alliance relief forces in orbit to Queyta. The Rebel Alliance wishes to use this food for its ongoing relief and aid efforts as the citizens of Queyta rebuild.

May the Force be with you! (Because you'll need it for this mission)!

Enemy and Terrain

Kinyen is the homeworld for the relatively peaceful Gran and the system has no system or planetary defenses for this agricultural exporter.

The Empire has a presence at Kinyen with two Imperial Star Destroyers, the ISD Vexation and the ISD Cold Hand with full complements of TIE Fighters with minimum quantity of 144 various TIE style Fighters.

In addition, the Empire has a ground side Logistics and Support base recently built in a Kinyen wilderness area. Intel indicates at least a Battalion of Storm Troopers and scores of transport and support ships, but no additional military assets. This base has been designated the Kinyen Intermediate Support Station (aka KISS) and this location should pose no affect for DC-01's current mission.

Due to the cooperation with the Empire, most Gran cities have very light Imperial Security Forces.

Friendly Forces (Including Supplies, Equipment, & Special Tasks)

DC-02 can assist DC-01 on this operation and it's recommended that DC-01 deliver them to the Polar Thrash. Following the capture and restoration of systems, DC-02 will transport the Polar Thrash to Queyta.

Kinyen (L15) [CLASSIFIED] DC-01 will be operating independently for Operation Tropical Whale at Kinyen.

Queyta (M19) is under the supervision of Commander Krish Strum aboard the CR-90 Fiery Hope. Commander Strum is supervising Phase Three of operation Chosen Gravel. DC-02 will report to Strum on the Fiery Hope at Queyta. If Operation Chosen Gravel has accellerated, then DC-02 will transport the Polar Thrash to Defiant Core on Kirdo III.
