Mission to Coruscant (Clone Wars)

The Mission to Coruscant was a Republic operation to route out terrorist cells that had been plagueing the GAR. The mission involved a strike team made up of two clone commando teams, Delta and Omega, Null ARCs Captain N-11 "Ordo" and Lieutenant N-7 "Mereel", generals Bardan Jusik and Etain Tur-Mukan, and security advisor sergeant Kal Skirata and mercenary and ex-commando instructor Walon Vau.

The strike team, led by Skirata, worked closely with Coruscant Security Force captain Jaller Obrim. Skirata came up with an ingenious idea to keep the rather obvious commandos under cover by arranging to get an element of theclone personnel of the 41st Elite Legion an extended leave on Coruscant, which would allow the commandos to look like ordinary troopers and therefore blend in a little better, as well as give the battle-hardened troops a much-needed break.

The team layed up in Qibbu's Hut, an establishment run, ironically, by Qibbu, a Hutt who owed Skirata some credits and would allow the team to stay for free in exchange for not having to pay Skirata his money.

The team layed-up in the top suite and Skirata deployed two-man teams to watch and scan the skylanes for bogies. One team, made up of Fi, Sev, and Bardan Jusik, spotted a GAR logistics employee, Vinna Jiss, who was secretly working with a Falleen Separatist terrorist, delivering him explosives. to bomb Republic targets. The team apprehended her and Jiss was interrogated by Walon Vau, who later killed her once she had given them all the information they needed. Ordo determined that they had a mole in GAR logistics and switched places with Trooper Corr, a clone trooper also working in the logistics department due to the loss of both his hands in active duty.

Meanwhile, Kal Skirata had set up a fake gunrunning business at Qibbu's Hut, hoping that the terrorists would attempt to pick up more explosives, since their main supplier had been routed out by a TIOPS mission executed by Omega Squad. The terrorists took the bait, and using Verpine sniper rifles and a special micro-sensor tagging material nicknamed "Dust", the team managed to tag the terrorist leader, Perrive.

Meanwhile as he was undercover as Corr, Ordo spotted the already-dead Vinna Jiss return to work, and the next day, with the help of Jedi knight Tur-Mukan, attempted to apprehend her. During the attempt, Ordo and Etain managed--barely--to apprehend the resurrected Jiss, but also apprehended Besany Wennen, one of the Supervisors at GAR logistics. Once the two got back to their de facto base, they discovered that Wennen had been assigned to tail Jiss, who, apparently, was not a reliable employee. The "resurrected" Jiss turned out to be Jinart, a shape-shifting Gurlanin who had assisted Omega Squad during a mission to Qiilura. Jinart demanded that the Republic withdraw from her planet, and in exchange she would provide information on the mole in the GAR. With this new information, plus the location of the terrorists' hideout (thanks to Dust), Skirata decided that it was time to bust-up the Separatists' operation. Skirata set up a date with Perrive to deliver the much-needed ordinance to the terrorists. Following the delivery of the explosives the strike team would move in with for the kill.

All was going well. Ordo and Mereel assassinated the two moles in the GAR, and the team was all set and ready to go. But the mission was forced to be executed earlier then expected when CSF personnel arrested on of Perrive's men, causing the terrorists to panic. Perrive requested that Skirata make his delivery 24 hours early, which the wrily old Mandalorian mercenary agreed to. Before ending his conversation with Skirata, Perrive informed him that he would not be present for the delivery. After the conversation (via commlink) ended, Skirata informed the team that their mission was a go.

While Skirata, Ordo, Mereel, and the two commando squads got into position, Etain and Walon Vau, along with Vau's pet Strill Lord Mirdalan, were sent to assassinate Perrive. Using one of Skirata's Verpine sniper rifles, Vau quickly and silently disposed of the Jabiimi terrorist.

Meanwhile, Skirata had made his delivery without incident and the commandos had attacked, disabling the lights with two PLX-1 missile launchers. The team killed fifteen out of twenty-six of the terrorists almost immediately, while the survivors retreated to a warehouse. During the insuing firefight one of terrorists escaped back to his apartment. The surviving Separatists made a last, final gambit and attempted to trick the commandos into thinking that they were surrendering. One of the commandos, Darman, was nearly killed in their attempt by a flame projector, but his armor managed to protect him against the blast. During the firefight all of the terrorists were killed.

Meanwhile Vau and Etain had dealt with the last terrorist who had escaped back to his apartment, and the CSF began rounding up around ninety suspected terrorists. The commandos, all relatively unharmed, retreated back to their "base", where they celebrated. The Separatist terror net would never recover from the blow that the commandos dealt them.
