From her secure terminal aboard the Carrier Bastet, Admiral Kaylee Staite starts an encrypted communique to serve as a live conference between the Corsair Elders and the Order High Command. Once all members have connected, she speaks...
"Greetings, honored Elders and members of the High Command. Apologies for taking your time with this conference, but we have an issue with a Corsair Captain that needs resolving. Yesterday at approximately 23:00-24:00 hours standard Sirius time, a vessel was encountered in orbit of Toledo bearing the designation DragonFly. The Captain, his crew, and his IFF transponder and Identification were all confirmed as Corsair; however, the craft was one of our valuable Light Carriers. How this craft was obtained is still unknown."
"I proceeded to question the Captain, who as of yet remains unnamed. I informed him that the craft he was commanding was permitted to Corsairs only when unified agreement between the Council of Elders and the High Command had been achieved, and that had not occured in his case. His repeated response was, and I quote 'I dont have to answer to anyone'; after stating this, he attempted to flee the system, and I ordered escorts and combat craft to engage his ship and disable it. Unfortunately the attempt was unsuccessful, and he escaped with heavy damage."
"Now, to the point... I'm calling this meeting to organize a strike operation against the DragonFly. Boarding teams of Corsair and Order Marines will need to be gathered, and we must decide on the ideal time and location to enter the craft and retake command from whoever has taken this ship. I feel this is the most efficient way of reclaiming the ship without dealing further damage to it, so that it may be repaired and repurposed for duty at Evora Shipyard once a new crew is selected."
"Several of our agents have been positioned on Yaren and Freeport 11, and will attempt to gain access to the ship if it docks at either of these locations in order to provide us detailed information on the crew and captain. Hopefully they are successful, as their information will improve the chances our boarding teams have of completing their mission. For now, we need to arrange those teams, and stage the operation, I look forward to hearing from you all, as I'm sure you have more experience in such operations than I do."

Greetings.
The Order HC is actually trying to "clean" the Omicrons from thiefs. And the captain of the "DragonFly" is one of them. The idea it to get our Geb back without destroying it. It's a costly ship to produce and we don't have infinite ressources... I'm sure the Elders of Crete want to keep good relations with the Order and will cooperate in this operation. The Corsairs Matadors are famous for being one of the best Space Marines in the Omicrons. We hope they will work under in cooperation with our Order Cover Ops to retake the Geb Light Carrier in one piece. The fate of the captain have to be discussed...
We will wait an official answer to resolve this annoying problem as soon as possible.

"I have spoken with my security officer, and developed a fairly simple entry plan. All Geb-Class carriers are designed in the same manner, with minor variations based on individual purpose, so the plans from my own ship should suffice as a 'map' of sorts for our entry teams. This operation will require cooperation among numerous craft in order to succeed, the briefing is as follows..."
"Several Order warships, and Corsair craft if available, will be re-outfitted with large numbers of Pulse-Turrets. Using these pulse weapons, our craft can temporarily disable both the DragonFly's shields, as well as it's weapon systems, without inflicting any noticable damage to it's superstructure."
"Once shields and weapons have been disabled, two Correo-Class freighters carrying our boarding teams - Team Alpha and Team Beta - will enter the DragonFly's hangars; specifically hangar bays one and two. Team Alpha will enter Hangar Bay two, on deck three of the DragonFly, and proceed directly to the engineering section at the aft of the carrier. From here, Team Alpha will be able to shut down shield, weapon, and engine systems aboard the craft."
"Team Beta will enter through Hangar one, deck two, and proceed to the two armories located at midship. Once these armories are secure, preventing any resistance from forming, Team Beta will take the stairwell to the bridge of the DragonFly on Deck one, subdue the command crew, and transport the ship back to Evora Shipyard where it will be shut down in drydock until repairs can be made."
"Below are the layout plans, derived from my own carrier - the Bastet - which will be used by entry teams in order to carry out this mission..."
"I look forward to comments on this arrangement from our Corsair Allies, as they will need to provide the freighters for the boarding teams, and have more experienced marines than we do. Each entry team will be composed primarily of Corsair Marines, accompanied by a pair of Order agents with the expertise to control ship systems and pilot the craft."
