The Banker, as he is known on Sentinel is a high net worth criminal operating in the undercity of Coruscant. Our client, a holding company operating out of Chandrila, has recently come to understand that the Banker (a Mr. Ersnt Carilla) has eloped with just shy of seventeen billion Galactic Credits, formerly used by the Central Bank of the Core under the Republic, funds which fell of the radar and into his pocket under the Sith Regime.
Politics aside, the Banker is plotting to make a move on the SoroShip Transit Collective a small time shipping company that acts as one of the logistical contractors to the Kuat Drive Yards. The client would prefer it if he was unable to make the deal come to fruition, and has contracted Sentinel Users to ensure he doesn’t make it to the stockholders meeting later on today.
However, nothing is ever that simple, and we have reason to believe that he is currently residing in the old 500 Republica Building, home to many of the Imperial Elite, including the Grand Moff of the Sector. Security will be tight, and if any disturbance is noted, the local Garrison will evacuate the area, and our client will be unable to take over the Banker’s target company themselves.

Naturally we are not in the habit of sending anyone in without support. A safehouse has been established should you chose to use it (password and keycode attached), containing medical supplies and a few standard issue firearms. Additionally, we have managed to secure access to the internal camera network, accessible via a monitor on the 240th floor of the Republica building.

A member of the Imperial Ruling Elite, we suspect a General or Mofff, is due to inspect the Garrison at midday as part of a weeklong Imperial Celebration marking the fall of Coruscant five years back. During this time we anticipate reaction times to the tower block will be slowed, as the Imperial Forces will focus their attentions toward the security of their own officers.

Your Sentinel approved contacts come in the form of a Local Cab Driver, he name and details are attached. Whilst he cannot provide assistance during the mission, he is reachable via the usual Taxi Booking apps on your commlink, and will gladly serve as an escape method if needed.

The 500 Republica building is one of the most prestigious addresses in the Core, holding apartments and event venues for the Galactic Elite. Within this building, security is tight, and only building staff are allowed into the Corridors in which residents live. Many floors are locked down by the Residents themselves, and only their personal staff are granted access.
Security comes in the form of a blend of Droid and Imperial Troops, Droids guarding the main tower block whilst Imperial Troops Guard outside. An exception to this normality is floor 240, in which Imperial Troops can be found in considerable numbers due to the Moff who lives there.
The top floor is currently booked out for the stockholders meeting your target is set to attend.

[fancybox2].....The social elites - the white-collar types who had loads and loads of credits. The first was the common type of rich folks: they made six to eight figures, wore nice clothes, drove nice speeders, and they padded their surroundings with a layer of credits so thick that you couldn't even hear the ringing of the bell from the soup kitchen down the way. The other type was the type of person who Rina-Jan interacted with the most often - regardless of which side the blaster that was on. They had absurd amounts of money to the point they could spend it like it was nothing but air, they fancied themselves masters of subterfuge and wet-work, and were always willing to pay out absurd amounts of money to ensure they had a plethora of assets who could make that fantasy come true. It didn't matter if it was a stock market, property rights, or something else entirely because so long as they wanted it they would be willing to pay for it, and Rina-Jan was more than willing to accommodate them.
.....The safehouse that had been provided for the operation was rather comfortable and luxurious. If a bit spartan and unlived in. But soft carpeting throughout most all of it except the bedroom led to a rarity for the bounty hunter: stepping about her apartment with nothing to conceal the sleek metal of her lower legs. Or much else since she'd stripped down to undergarments and made herself comfortable. She had arrived early in the morning and had spent a short part of her day carrying the heavier equipment for delivery to the safehouse in the agreed upon dead-drop site for the driver. After that she had spent the rest of her day doing what she could to case the perimeter of the fairly infamous 500 Republica building. She hadn't been able to get too close with the step-up in the Imperial military security from the expected visit by high-ranking officers but she had still been able to get decent eyes on the site to begin formulating a plan. It was short-notice but she mad managed to secure a few things for her plan.
....."What's on your mind?"
.....She blinked, caught off-guard, "Hm? What?" She turned to the HoloNet terminal.
.....Coc'vulo was quick to repeat herself, "I asked: what's on your mind? You seem distracted."
.....The bounty hunter rubbed at the bridge of her nose and sat on the couch, "Yeah, yeah. Just got a job tomorrow."
....."This one have anything to do with Mi or Grohl?"
....."Not this time. But I'm keeping my ear to the ground for them. How are things back home?"
....."Well enough. Some of the neighbors say hi, Morin says hey and wonders when you'll come by for a visit."
.....The bounty hunter chuffed, almost laughing, "Tell that love-sick puppy that I'll stop by when I have time from work."
.....She heard a laugh on the other end, "Okay, I'll be sure to tell him. Until then you stay safe, okay?"
.....Rina-Jan settled back in the couch and kicked her legs up onto the nearby coffee table, "Will do, Cee. Take care."
.....With a tone the call was disconnected and Rina-Jan was free to enjoy some modest privacy the rest of the evening.

Some time later . . .
.....The cigarra smoldered slowly between her fingers as she squeezed the controls of the speeder with her other gloved hand. The relatively nondescript speeder drifted through sky-lanes with the rest of traffic: on its sides was a fairly standard logo of a local maintenance and technical support company while in back there was a collection of ladders, kits for slicing, and other tools that wouldn't look out of place in any technician's vehicle. At the wheel Rina-Jan was in simplistic heavy work-boots, grungy coveralls, a pair of gloves, and a ball-cap that were all a disgustingly bland shade of off-green. Of course under the coveralls and t-shirt she wore was a stripped down vest designed to take a rifle shot or perhaps a few shots from a pistol and under one sleeve was her shield gauntlet, but neither of those things stood out enough to mark her out as out of the ordinary or worth any particular attention. Some people didn't realize that it didn't take some high-grade stealth suit to sneak past the guards: half the time they were too busy or just too damn tired to bother with checking the help.
.....She took another long drag on her cigarra when she pulled out of traffic to enter the back lot of the 500 Republica. An initial drive-by of the place had revealed gate security only cordoned off the first fifty meters or so of the back lot to exclusive traffic. Vendors who ran food and supplies for the tenants and staff were allowed direct access to parking spaces only a few meters from the utility entrance. Meanwhile it wasn't a great leap to assume that third party contractors like, for instance, electricians and signal repairmen, parked out further in the more public lots. In theory it meant individuals not as thoroughly vetted and cleared as the routine vendors would have a harder time bringing in weaponry or illegal contraband that residents hadn't specifically requested. It wasn't a leap to assume she'd be wanded or patted down before being let through and so that meant a blaster or more conventional weapon was out of the question. That was likely enough to dissuade amateurs who didn't realize just how hard you could swing a spanner.
.....When Rina-Jan parked she quickly snubbed the cigarra into the ash-tray on the center console and slipped out from the speeder. She went around and popped open the back hatch so she could grab the toolbox that she had set up waiting for her: some screwdrivers, wrenches, spanners, some kit for splicing work, and things like that which looked perfectly normal for her attire. To the best of her knowledge it didn't have anything that might seem questionable or out of place for somebody purporting to be an electrician or computer technician. Of course if she was truly grilled for a good length of time she was sure eventually a chink would appear in the armor of her disguise, but she planned to be done and gone long before that came to pass. So with confidence in her appearance and cover-story she turned away from the speeder - one in all reality rented through a proxy account she'd first learned from her father to take time setting up - and to the door. Two Imperial soldieers in dress uniform with soft-caps stood guard at the door and eyed her as she approached.
.....She walked past the ungated perimeter fence and the sentries walking it who barely spared her a look before approaching the two guards at the door. She opted to throw a slight accent to her voice when she spoke, not from Coruscant but not from Concord Dawn either, "This the 500 Republica, right? I, uh, I got a few work tickets passed down from dispatch. Boss said some tenants were having trouble with the wiring and," she made a show of looking to a poorly scrawled paper in the toolbox "a security console on floor 240. Boss said to be quick so I'm not in your folks' way for the celebrations." Rina-Jan motioned to the entrance with her free hand, "So mind if I go in and get it taken care of?"
