Czerka, re: Salvage After-Action

CZERKA REPORT
AFTER ACTION, UNCLASS
ATTN VELES STARPORT

CC: Althea, Sandra Mana, Mart Webber

BODY:

Sir or madam,

I am composing this message to report that the salvage operation you hired me for did not go very well, and to send you my apologies and condolences.

Unfortunately, to my knowledge, your chartered transport was also lost along with all hands aboard. The ship in question was, I think, somehow affected by Sith sorceries that turned it’s former crew into zombies. It seems that the ship suffered some sort of disaster and the crew died or succumbed to it, as there was a hull breech we found in the first deck portside cargo bay. I was not able to check that and did not have much time in the pilots cabin. We did not find anyone alive on the vessel and it appeared to be transporting weaponry, but could have been brought to mobility again, once the zombies were cleared out and the disaster ascertained.

I feel it is my duty to report to you that the salvage operation you requested was interrupted, subsumed, and terminated by Kho Khan, head of Khan Corporation in Veles, who drew his ship alongside prior to our docking and ultimately blew up both the salvage vessel and our original transport, after an effort to claim the salvage for himself and changing his mind once he discovered there were zombies inside. I assure you that to my knowledge none of those you hired had this sort of duplicity in mind or at least voiced no such plans to me.

I am very sorry for your losses during salvage. I tried my very best to ascertain what the problem with the ship was and to convince those with me to assist, but failed. I realize that this is probably very cold comfort for anyone who has suffered the loss of their kin to this adventure but, I sincerely tried my best and am available to give further testimony or account as wished for or required.

Because this seems to have involved some sort of Sith alchemy or something like that, I have also informed the Jedi Council and Knights Sandra and Althea of this happening and will be available by holocomm planetside for the next few days, should it be required by your contract with me.

R,
Ashi Tevarl
