Von Ricmore
40 ABY, 2 months before Operation Spyfall

The Force was erratic. Not a particularly new phenomena to Von Ricmore, the Force always seemed to pulse with emotion prior to some great conflict. It seemed that another one would be upon them soon. His meditations had been plagued by visions, dreams of a secretive cult of Force users that would face off against the Brotherhood. The future was ever changing and the Kiffar knew that there was no guarantee of conflict. But the Force thrived on conflict. The Force was life; and life interacted in many positive and negative ways when conflict stirred. The Sith scrawled the details of his visions on whatever he could get his hands on, stacks of flimsiplast and various data pads littered his room.

He couldn’t account for everything, no single individual could. But he would do his utmost to ensure Clan Vizsla would not be caught unaware; not like last time with the Seer and her damnable crystal creatures. Von spent many days at the Brotherhood’s collegium, brainstorming countermeasures to the crystal creatures that wreaked havoc.

All forms of blaster and laser weaponry appeared to do nothing to the crystal remains the Brotherhood had. Even lightsabers were resisted by the carapace of some of the creatures. But with the new upgrades to equipment and vehicles from the crystals provided by the Dark Council and proper tactics to use them, Von was certain Clan Vizsla would prosper in the conflict to come.

Pendroh I, Pendroh System
The Inner Rim
40 ABY
Sith Infiltrator Mairan

The Mairan dropped out of hyperspace outside of Pendroh I. Piloting the ship was the Kiffar Von Ricmore who kept the ship cloaked and maintained his Force Concealment.

The mission was a simple one as long as he did not draw any attention to himself. The Brotherhood had a spy within the ranks of a group of Force users who called themselves the Children of Mortis. To avoid attracting attention to themselves the spy left the information in a scheduled location. Von was to make his way to the dead drop and retrieve the information, a simple enough task with the right preparation.

If he had to actually break into any secure areas the task would have been more difficult. But retrieving information from a dead drop? Even a clumsy gungan could pull that off.

The Sith reminded himself not to be overconfident, triple checking the ship was still cloaked and his concealment was in place.

The Sith took his time landing the Mairan. Landing near enough to reach the mountains by foot without being detected took time and careful maneuvering. But it was achieved with enough patience.

Continuing to maintain his concealment the Sith swiftly retrieved the information from the drop before returning to his ship.

He was confident he was undetected but he would not risk bringing an enemy to his Clan’s doorstep. A series of 5 randomized hyperspace jumps were made to deter pursuers before he returned to the Zsoldos System with the information.
