The Confederacy of Independent Systems: a corrupted organization lead by a tyrant who doesn't care about the poor and ruined lives left in the wake of their merciless expansion. Starting on Y21D335, the CIS became the target of an asset acquisition mission by Umbradawn as part of the larger goal of redistributing the wealth of the corrupt and supporting the needy.

At various times over the course of Y21D335 and Y21D336, an Eclipse Templar Inquisitor was able to enter factory districts and storage areas on the planet Thesme. During that time he was able to secure and load a cargo valued at approximately 500 million credits--medical supplies and powered down droids--onto Eclipse Templar freighters. After, he left to assist in the primary heist in Mondress which would take place days later.

On Y21D339 at 11:45, the Modular Taskforce Cruiser Umbradawn, under the command of Grand Marshal Dain Thurith and Commander Varian Shroud, arrived in Mondress. They raided CIS' secure storage Brayls filled with approximately 6 billion credits worth of weapons, armor, tools, and medical supplies. The operation came together in very little time, in thanks to meticulous and on-the-fly planning from Dain Thurith and de Caito, which lead to excellent reconnaissance and intelligence gathering from the Inquisitor. Using the access granted to him freely, The Inquisitor was able to board and empty six different Brayls into the MTC Umbradawn--which had it's transponders changed to read as a CIS vessel. The rest of the team stood watch, prepared to cut the docking tube and enter hyperspace immediately if needed. Shortly after the over 9000 crates of varying sizes--one reportedly containing over 14000 CM Fragstorm Shotguns--were loaded, the strike team departed and went their separate ways. Commander Shroud was charged with securing the cargo and remaining in command of the Umbradawn during it's return trip to neutral space while the others moved into position for phase two.

Around 22:30, Grand Inquisitor de Caito signaled for the Inquisitor to disable the ships containing the primary targets:Supreme Commander Sion Plagueis; Alanna Kutol wife of Chairman Siejo Kutol; and all other Confederate Ships in orbit of both planets. A few minutes later, Plagueis and his security detail of three lower ranked members were apprehended along withfifteen unarmed builders and secured.

Shortly later at 22:45, the disabled ships above Zrak were secured within the EcT Apocalypse Colossal-class. Alanna Kutol and her security detail were apprehended by the strike force made up of Ord and Ghealach operatives led by Inquisitor Hanzo Thurith. This part of the operation went mostly without a hitch as all targets were asleep in their quarters aboard the BFF-1 Bulk Freighters orbiting the planet that they were idling inside of.

The hostages were only taken to ensure a smooth closure to the operation and fair treatment was provide. When negotiations with Taldar were opened, before any of the details were laid out, Taldar refused to negotiate and heartlessly said to just kill the hostages. Though the members of Umbradawn were aware of the CIS' treatment of their people as essentially expendable slaves, the magnitude of this disregard for their lives still came as a shock. Some of the hostages even expressed a desire to work alongside Umbradawn to get revenge on CIS. Thankfully not all within the CIS shared Taldar's desire to see the hostages killed and an agreement was reached.
