Unit: Rebel Alliance Special Missions Team #1062 Prototype Criminal/Special Operations Team
Colonel Samual Ironhide is hereby authorized to assemble a team of operatives for specialized operations against the Empire. These beings are to be drawn from the Rebel prison compound on Safeworld T45-A6, from the maximum security unit.
If at any time, a member of this team willfully and without good cause disobeys a lawful order from a commanding officer, fails to show loyalty to the Alliance or attempts to escape, all operatives will return to prison to complete their sentences. Those members of the unit who survive their term of service will be pardoned of their sentence when a formal cessation of hostilities is declared by the Rebel Council. Those who do not survive missions with Team #1062 will have all mention of their crimes removed form their public record.
All potential operatives must undergo a rigorous mental and medical examination, and are to be interrogated under truth serum by agents of Counter Intelligence once a week, unless operating. Operatives will be escorted by security forces during their training, and will not be allowed outside of their quarters without security escort. During field operations, they may at times be escorted by members of more conventional forces. Any who voluntarily leave Rebel service during a field operation will have bounty for no less than 5,000 credits posted on them. When captured, they will return to a prison complex or colony for the remainder of their natural days.
During field operations, they will be issued equipment based on availability, mission profile and personal preference. All property in their possession (except weapons and communications equipment) will be returned to them during training. Their personal weapons and vehicles (if available) will be returned to them if mission parameters indicate that the issue of these devices will be in the best interest of the mission. They are authorized to use what ever LEGAL means are available to complete their mission. Any unauthorized contact between the team members and criminals will result in termination of this project, with consequences as outlined above.
Col. Ironsides is a powerfully built, tall (187cm) human male with medium length grey hair and hard, black eyes. He is rarely seen unarmed, and in nearly all those situations, his sidearm and vest is within arm reach. He served the Old Republic as a member of the Military Police, often as part of anti-smuggler, -slaver and -organized crime strike forces. He entered Rebellion service 8 years ago, first as an instructor, then as field operative on an anti-piracy taskforce. While recovering from vacuum exposure, he proposed the formation of a unit of criminals for specialized operations.
He is a qualified marksbeing and an ex-sport parachutist. He grew up on the water ranches of Chad, and continues to maintain his skills with aquatic vessels and survival. He also plays a mean game of sabacc, and has been known to fund entire unofficial operations with a deck, much to his superiors' displeasure. He has often been called on the carpet for making his own missions and acquiring his own equipment without proper authorization. Many of his opponents consider him to be no better than the criminals he is now training.
He has received authorization to form his unit of thieves, smugglers, pirates, Imperial defectors, and murders. He appears to be a cold, indifferent slave driver, demanding 250% of his troops, but he actually wants to use his units to "recover reformable offenders". He or Sgt. Rarrlukka is always following his men during training, even when they can not be seen, and prefers to let his men sort out discipline problems amongst themselves. However, should the problem not become controlled, he has absolutely no difficulty with stunning the offending member, and shipping the entire team back to prison, then starting over.
Sgt. RarrlukkaSergeant Rarrlukka (Rarrl to his friends) is relatively young, having just celebrated his 130th birthday. He is of av
