Dark Times - Target VIII: Mark of the Red Hand

Thavlu Mékeesh had picked up another job, this time on the city planet of Coruscant.

 

The crime syndicate known as the Red Hand had hired a team of Bounty Hunters and the like to aid in the retrieval of valuable information concerning Imperial personnel, that was held in a secure data vault on Coruscant.

 

Recently, the Confederate Remnant initiated an attack on the planet Vanquo. Thavlu had seen Imperial troops heading out for weeks now, presumably heading to Vanquo to meet the Confederate Remnant.

However, there were still troopers patrolling Coruscant, though the number of troops around the vault were lessened greatly, and that was why Thavlu had been called in.

 

Thavlu's job was to cause a distraction in one of the lower levels of Coruscant, to draw Imperial forces away from the vault's location. Along with Jeldris Wavvirs, he figured a large explosion should do the trick to get the attention of Imperials—usually something Thavlu tried to avoid doing.

 

Working with Jeldris and the Red Hand member who had come to him about the job, Thavlu figured out a plan: After causing as much mayhem in the streets as they could, he and his companions would rush to a designated location, and hope Imperial troops were in chase. Then, they'd split up and all veer off, to grab more Imperial's attention, after which they'd all converge again. At this point, Thavlu would drop an electric charge off a predetermined balcony, and Jeldris and the Red Hand member would both shoot at it, causing a massive explosion, while not overly deadly, thus reducing the harm that could come to Thavlu, Jeldris, and the Red Hand member. However, the explosion would be large, hopefully large enough to be seen by Imperials all around.

 

All they had to do now was wait to hear from the rest of the Bounty Hunters if the raid on the data vault had been successful. . .
