Rescue Operation

01 / MISSION INTELLIGENCE

Before deploying

Main objective: Reach and free the captured Republic intelligence officer before the four-turn approach timer; protect the officer during evacuation.

Squad roles: A mobile or Force-equipped operator to reach the prisoner quickly, support fire to clear blocking overwatch and reliable healing or protection to keep the officer alive.

Do not overlook: The prisoner must survive and all required squad members must enter the yellow extraction zone. Moving one fast operator alone to the exit is not sufficient.

02 / SOURCE-GROUNDED TACTICAL CHECKPOINTS

Complete the mission

Follow these 7 documented phases. Mark each step for your own reference while playing. Check the numbered destination link after each checkpoint.

1. CHECKPOINT 01 / 7Mark done

   Inspect both the tactical and Cycle deadlines

   This optional Dantooine mission has a three-Cycle HoloTable availability record. Once deployed, the encounter itself starts with a separate four-turn deadline to reach the captured officer. Do not mistake the three Cycles on the board for three turns in the battlefield.

2. CHECKPOINT 02 / 7Mark done

   Prioritize forward movement on turn one

   Move the fastest operator toward the target immediately and put remaining squad members on covered routes behind them. Shoot only outlaws that prevent the rescue party from getting through; trying to eliminate the whole map can cause the timer to expire.

3. CHECKPOINT 03 / 7Mark done

   Break blocking overwatch instead of taking the long fight

   The observed mission has Outlaw Marauders and Snipers covering the route. Use a suitable Force Pull or another displacement/control action when it opens a safe passage. Check the remaining AP of the operator who must reach the captive.

4. CHECKPOINT 04 / 7Mark done

   Move onto the captive's marked position

   Send the leading operator to the Republic Officer's interaction area within the four-turn window. The objective changes from approaching the target to freeing the intelligence officer. Interact or position the squad as the current HUD instructs.

5. CHECKPOINT 05 / 7Mark done

   Bring the officer with the squad toward the yellow evacuation area

   Once the rescue takes effect, follow the newly displayed evacuation marker. The officer is now protected; assign cover and medical support while each operator heads for the marked zone. Unnecessary firefights waste movement AP.

6. CHECKPOINT 06 / 7Mark done

   Respond to reinforcements only when they threaten the escort

   The published route reports a new outlaw wave during withdrawal. Do not stop to hunt it if the unit does not block the extraction path. Use available heals to protect the officer and control any attacker directly threatening the evac corridor.

   Next checkpoint →
7. CHECKPOINT 07 / 7Mark done

   Count every unit before confirming evacuation

   The mission expects the squad at the designated departure position. Check the location of the officer and each operator, then use Move to bring anyone still outside the yellow area into safety. A missing operator or dead protected target can turn a near-complete rescue into a failure.

04 / THE NEXT CYCLE

What to do after extraction

Check the result screen and any Influence or material rewards. Back at the Den, treat injuries, look for new conversations, and reopen the HoloTable for Critical story, Hero and Crisis deadlines before using the next Cycle. A different optional contract may already have expired during this deployment.
