In my opinion the operation was handled very well by all members; there was co-ordination, direct orders, quick execution. Master Wolfe tried his best to warn them and end this peacefully, but all I can say is that they were too stubborn, unfortunately.
As far as we go, we had the Force by our side, thankfully.

A very well coordinated briefing by Commander Py-Late from the Instrop Security Force.
Jedi Knight Xintr Wolfe has, despite his probably self-doubts, proven himself as an efficient Squadron Leader, dealing a massive blow against the opposing forces of the pirates.
Jedi Padawan Anya has done tremendously during the boarding, leaving little room for mistakes during her fight against the criminals.
Jedi Padawan Aren Kelpor turned out to be a very promising pilot, accounting for the destruction of the carrier's engines aswell as it's shields, it's surface cannons aswell as the takedown of two enemy starfighters.

Summary and Actions

In my opinion this operation was extremely well researched and executed. The Instrop security coordinator, Commander Py, was able to provide specific coordinates as well as the Pirate comm frequency.
All members of Crash flight performed admirably.

I suspect that the advent of the Sheb Ravagers in the Instrop sector may be related to the death of crime lord Meelo, due to the fact that the strikes by this group began very shortly after Meelo's death. It is possible that no connection exists, but it would be better to investigate and be certain.

My recommendations are as follows...
  • Request full access to captured computers and datalogs from the captured strike carrier.
  • Cross reference any possible information of the pirate roster to arrest lists and estimate remaining pirate forces.
  • Investigate possible links from the Sheb Ravagers to the systems and power structures surrounding former crime lord Meelo.
  • Investigate possibility of backing by a planetary government level economic patron (See report by Padawan Kelpor for details)

In my opinion the operation was coordinated extremely well. All five elements were able to meet the objectives set forth by Commander Py, to include precise locations of assets belonging to Sheb’s Ravagers. Master Wolfe gave the Ravagers several opportunities to surrender

It is also my opinion that Sheb’s Ravagers were being financed by a third party, most likely a planetary or sector government. The equipment, most noticeably the starfighters, were in fairly good condition as well as numerous even though they used several different models. If we were to assume that starfighters used were either stolen, or old surplus vessels, the maintenance cost per flight hour wouldn’t be something that Ravagers would be able to afford. We were able to identify twelve fighters in our engagement alone, with approximately four T-65 X-wings. The average cost per flight hour of the T-65 is approximately 1,000 credits. Given that several other of the strike groups encountered at least a squadron of fighters during their engagements, we can assume that they had at least three squadrons, potentially five. That would indicate about 12,000 credits per flight hour for each squadron, with three squadrons that is 36,000 credits for five it would be 60,000. Meaning that if they were to fly all their squadrons for one hour a week, they would need to spend approximately 144,000 - 240,000 credits a month, not to mention the cost of maintaining the carrier. The number of reports and sightings from the Ravagers over the last several years would seem to indicate that they were even more active than an hour a week. The amount of credits needed to maintain an operation of this size would require financing greater than what could be garnered from pirating and raiding alone.

My recommendations are as follows...
  • I believe it would be important to look into the possibility of a planet or sector government financing and funding of Sheb’s Ravagers.
  • Request access to the data recovered from the Carrier and other target sights
  • Confirm the leadership of the Ravagers was captured

408.27 ABY | Sheb Ravagers Strike
Name: Py-Late
Rank: Commander
Date(s): 408.27
Location: Excarga
Members of the Jedi Order present:
  • Jedi Knight Rhuacca
  • Jedi Knight Xintr Wolfe
  • Jedi Padawan Aren Kelpor
  • Jedi Padawan Anya

Public Information
The Sheb's Ravagers pirate organization has been plaguing over half-a-dozen star systems for cycles now. After much negotiation, the systems of the Instrop Sector have loosely banded together their respective planetary security forces into one organization to go on the offensive versus the menace.

With the leadership of Jedi advisors and pilots, the Instrop Sector Security Force was able to neutralize some pirates and arrest the others.

Level of Exposure: <Instrop Sector>
  • Jedi from the Rannon Branch led an operation to apprehend and arrest the criminal organization called the "Sheb's Ravagers"

Padawan Security Clearance
Information available to Padawans+
  • Instrop security forces acquired the dossier of an arms dealer located in Hutt Space.
  • It’s clear by this dossier that the Ravagers were being supplied by a third party who paid for the arms and equipment from this dealer on their behalf.
  • All Sheb's Ravagers leadership including one Captain Rate and Captain Shack were apprehended.

Knight Security Clearance
Information available to Knights+
  • This arms dealer did have connections to the late Crime Lord Meelo, though he was not exclusive.
  • This arms dealer's name is Telum Mangone, a Zabrak Male with white tattoos

Jedi Council Clearance
Information available to Council+ and mission attendees.
  • The dossier contains a ledger in which the Shebs Ravagers did not list any expenses to purchase ships and equipment, only to maintain them once acquired. Additionally, there is evidence of payments flowing to a separate, undisclosed, organization.
  • With the age of the ships, but also the quality of which they were retrofitted, it suggests that the Ravagers were gifted these ships by the third party of which they were giving kick-backs to.

Summary and Actions
Instrop Security Forces coordinated several hyperspace jumps with Jedi leadership to drop out of hyperspace at multiple identified locations in the Excarga sector where the pirate capital ship may have been located.

There were small pirate forces at multiple sights, but Crash Squadron from the Rannon Branch engaged with the central force of the Ravagers.

In my opinion..
Without the Jedi Order facilitating this strike, we would have been unsuccessful and the Ravagers would still be at large.

My recommendations are as follows...
  • If the Jedi Order were to help Instrop investigators and bounty hunters in the apprehension of this Telum Mangone, it would contribute to further reveal the source of this mystery crime organization which backed them.
