|
| rdfs:comment | - After the successes of the Operation to date, Admiral Ackbar ordered what he knew to be a gamble-- a large-scale raid on an Imperial supply depot in the vicinity of Dathomir. This promised to be the largest and boldest raid of Operation Scatterswipe, and intended to continue the operation's intent of determining Imperial response to the revived Alliance-era tactics. Ackbar realized that an action of this scale carried a geometrically larger chance of being discovered in advance than those previously launched, but believed the information gleaned from attempting to define an upper boundary for future raiding would justify those risks.

| Synopsis | - -90.0
- The New Republic success in their raids has left them confident enough to raid a larger station. Unfortunately, the Empire has gained information on their mission and is prepared for their raid this time. A few surprises lie in wait for the attackers.
- The Inquisitor returns for their people, recovering all those that have survived. Upon arriving back aboard ship they are greeted to a hero's return.
- The Republican and Imperial survivors' camps send scouts to investigate signs of life, not knowing the other side is also en route.
- In the days before the Imperial ambush at Dathomir, Marshal Krieg Inrokana briefs his commanders of the attack plan. It is a simple plan of baiting the enemy and then enveloping them. No rebel except for one is to escape; it is meant to strike fear into their enemy.
- A tech recovered on one of the recent sweeps for survivors helps boost the power to the juryrigged transmitter set up in camp, just in time to spot a dozen contacts arriving in orbit.
- A mixed group of scouts sight three more escape pods - two the Republic's, one the Empire's. While the Imperial scouts make their report to Marshall Inrokana, one of the Republic's reports to Lieutenant Ipex, and some choices are made.
- Stranded on planet, sharing a survival camp, and ordered to behave. Talk about a challenge.
- After bailing out of his A-Wing following the unsuccessful Dathomir Raid, a New Republic pilot gets his first exposure to the planet's flora... and fauna.
- In the wake of the Dathomir Raid, a New Republic marine shuttle crashes on Dathomir and take stock of their situation.
- A busy morning for Dathomir's wildlife leads to nervous marines as they jump out of the proverbial frying pan and right into the fire as another stranded pilot is found.

| abstract | - After the successes of the Operation to date, Admiral Ackbar ordered what he knew to be a gamble-- a large-scale raid on an Imperial supply depot in the vicinity of Dathomir. This promised to be the largest and boldest raid of Operation Scatterswipe, and intended to continue the operation's intent of determining Imperial response to the revived Alliance-era tactics. Ackbar realized that an action of this scale carried a geometrically larger chance of being discovered in advance than those previously launched, but believed the information gleaned from attempting to define an upper boundary for future raiding would justify those risks. The strike force assembled to raid the depot consisted of some of the finest units of the front-line New Republic Second Fleet: the 27th "Warspite" and 214th "Lancet" Frigate Squadrons formed the lead element of the force, along with the four CR90 Corvette/Corellian Gunship mixed squadrons that formed the frigates' normal screening elements. The NRF Warspite's CO, Captain Eochim Racknar, was chosen as leader of the strike force, for his excellent record of ability and long history with the Republic and the Alliance before it. In addition, Marines from the 224th "Raider" Battalion and troops from Vigilance Security Corporation, escorted by one flight each from Ghost and Falcon squadrons would conduct board and capture operations on a CR90 Corvette known to be defending the depot. While this occurred, the Nebulon-B Frigates were to destroy two Escort Carriers also defending, with their corvette and fighter screens in support. Once the operational theater was felt secure enough, eight unarmed transports would then micro-jump in from a staging area to apprehend the depot's cargo under the cover of the frigates. To offset the risks of launching such an ambitious raid, Ackbar further ordered the 24th Cruiser Squadron and its support craft to stage a distracting 'raid' on Churba, believing that an appearance there by the much larger force would pull Imperial units away from the actual target area. The cruisers were ordered to make only a convincing show, and then withdraw with at most, superficial damage. Between this gambit and the veteran units chosen, he felt the operation stood the best chances of success he could give.
