Operation Starstruck

Operation Starstruck, stylized as "OPERATION: StarStruck !! -- Picaro ne Shitlord Gets An Asskicking He Won't Forget !!", is a high-profile crime committed in 4335 by the notorious pirate Sjora Starcatcher and her crew, the Starcatchers. It is noteworthy for being broadcast all across the internet and even a few hijacked radio stations -- and the crime went utterly ignored by law enforcement and governing bodies, as the victim was another pirate, equally notorious Picaro ne Valor of the Red Quasars. Bold and pugnacious Sjora announced her intentions to rob Picaro's Fallen Arm Station while carrying a camera on her person that would broadcast her location, actions, and even narrated thoughts as she hijacked the station. The declaration was so outrageous that it went ignored, and then Sjora single-handedly bursted down the door of Fallen Arm Station with an army of pirates. The stint was a roaring success just in terms of damaging the Red Quasars' reputation, and Fallen Arm Station has since been rigged with all sorts of traps and other security measures specifically to prevent copycats from doing exactly what Sjora did.
The exact losses that the Red Quasars suffered are not known. As Sjora herself was not the sole acting party in the robbery, all that is known for sure is her account of the situation, which could be greatly exaggerated; she claimed that her pirates had plundered "everything of value" in Fallen Arm Station, and then also "one worthless thing -- Picaro's dignity". However, that "violence-free" cuts of the broadcast were made after it concluded says a great deal of just how many people Sjora took on while arrogantly explaining to her international audience just where Picaro had gone wrong in designing his fortress and placing his security efforts.
