A worrying report has been received that Pro Consul Takagari "DarkHawk" KoyaRu has failed to return from a secret diplomatic mission for the Clan. The last recorded position of his unmarked shuttle was in an unknown system which scans record as having one planet with a breathable atmosphere. He is believed to have crashed and his current status is unknown. Intelligence is unable to determine any data regarding the environment or population of the planet and caution is advised.

Because of the sensitive nature of DarkHawk's mission it is not possible to conduct a full scale search of the area and the Shar Dakhan Quaestor has ordered a single House member to partake in a search and rescue mission to subtly retrieve the Pro Consul and any sensitive materials or data he was carrying. As the member selected you may take any NPC or Alts with you, and if necessary may use a small force of the House military so long as they do not draw attention.
