As a note, I'm going to use this talk page to begin building the article, because the plot hasn't yet been exposed to the playerbase. However, once exposed, I'll simply copy it into the main article. Yay prep-work! -- SW1 Kyle 03:31, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Header summary

History
Coruscant had fallen into the Empire's grasp once more. The Imperial Military was now prepared to make their next move. It needed to be a decisive move, for victory could not come with such losses as were incurred during the battle at Coruscant.

In secrecy, the leaders of Task Force Inquisitor began to devise an operation geared ultimately at uprooting the planet of Dac from New Republic control. A complex operation, titled Operation Squid Lake, was developed. The first, and arguably most critical phase of the operation, was to be personally directed by ISB Sector Director Korynn Fleming.

Infiltration
Fleming's plan involved a lengthy infiltration operation, geared at inserting ISB field agents into the Quarren and Mon Calamari societies. These agents were directed to assimilate themselves into their respective territories, keeping a watchful eye on locals who might be swayed through subtle manipulations to do each agent's will. Fleming decided to take a risk that is often unheard of amongst top Imperial leaders; he would go among the field agents, taking his own disguise and running the operation hands-on from within the Quarren society.

Before departing for Dac, the Sector Director held a briefing with Vextin Mandor, the Imperial Naval Commander who devised the original campaign. During this meeting, he gave the naval tactician a vague briefing on how the operation would commence, and when jurisdiction would be handed off from ISB to the Imperial Military.
