Operation Eclipse

**Operation Eclipse** was the military operation in which the Alliance to Restore the Republic attempted to infiltrate the Iziz palace by using an Imperial Advisor on world. It resulted in military success and allowed the Rebellion to gain access to the Onderon Star Map.

## **Infiltration**

### **Prelude**

After the Rebellion managed to shoot down an Imperial *Carrack*-class light cruiser which was expected to contain intelligence, Onderon Command deployed Strike Team 42 to investigate. Managing to find intelligence on an Imperial convoy and recover a missing team of pathfinders, Strike Team 42 eventually ambushed the convoy and discovered that Viskif Soldera, a former Senator-turned-advisor, would be coming to Onderon on a gambling trip. Ordering them to rest, Raith Gensly planned out the operation and placed Calo Pliskin in charge, while Jonaa Duelian served as his second in command. They were to infiltrate the city of Iziz and gain access to the Unifar Temple by befriending Viskif, then attempt to capture whatever intelligence lie inside. Informed to meet with Yostar Keesta, the team began gathering their gear and team set out on an X-34 landspeeder towards Iziz.

### **The Rebel Gambler**

After arriving at the gate, they were stopped by stormtroopers, who had ordered they present identification. Domino presented an antiquated identification card, but the stormtroopers held onto it. The team, bluffing their way through the gate, purchased a city pass that would allow them access in and out of the city for a certain time. After making it in, the team traveled to the Drunken Drexel and met with Yostar, who had them put on more elegant clothing and rendezvous at his safe house. After some time had passed, Calo, Jonaa, Domino, and Kodrick Zusk made their way to the casino the advisor would be gambling at. While Kodrick played the valet and kept an eye outside, Calo, Jonaa, and Domino went into the casino and met Viskif in person at the main gambling table. Calo sat down while Jonaa and Domino watched closely, and the agent took his time befriending the advisor. After some time, Agent Foxtrot and Domino followed the advisor back to his personal booth and sat down with him, playing pazaak, while Jonaa played sabaac after noticing a shady individual. After losing the match, Jonaa quickly stole the earnings and ran out of the casino, chased by guards but managed to shake them. Meanwhile, Calo and Domino, who had played the advisor well, were invited back to drink with him in the Unifar Temple. After succeeding partially, they followed the Advisor back to the palace, stopped by shock stormtroopers along the way, but they were able to get inside.

Kodrick, who now wanted to make his way inside as well, attempted to climb the smooth stone walls, but ultimately slipped and fell, falling into the bushes and barely escaping a killing fall. Now badly unconscious, Jonaa came along and found Kodrick lying there. He quickly recovered the Bothan and returned them to the safe house with Marco's help. Inside the palace, Calo and Domino continued talking with the advisor until their comlinks went off, a message from Jonaa regarding Kodrick's status. Attempting to convince the advisor it was nothing, Viskif didn't believe them, and Calo lunched forward, smacking his skull into the floor and brutally killing him while Domino shut the door. Hiding his body inside a tub in the refresher, the two began sneaking their way through the palace until they came across the command room, but quickly hid as they noticed General Carrick walking outside, talking to a Lieutenant as he did so. After listening into their conversation, they snuck their way into the room after they made distance, and found the star map. Recovering the map, they scaled the side of the Unifar Temple down and retreated to the safe house.

### **Aftermath**

Due to the success of the operation, the Alliance was able to gain access to hidden smuggling routes used to get in and out of Onderon. This would later come in handy when the team attempted to return the Holocron of the Naddists back to its original location on Dxun after Ordol Bain ordered a blockade of Onderon.
