Captain Untouchable

Figured I'd post all of this in a new thread, since new threads generally make people giddy and excited.
After a great deal of brain racking, I've got an outline for a pretty simple mission for Dorn Force. Its a straight-forward op (though with pleanty of potential to go wrong and add some interest), but it should tie in nicely with some other stuff that is going on around the forums, and will have pleanty of potential for us to follow on and continue down the same story route.
The Premise
Empress Tarkin has managed to engineer the election of an Imperial as the new leader of the Corporate Sector. Under the leadership of Moff Delgado Xaanan, arrangements have been made to provide the Sector with a (moderate) force of Imperial vessels, to aid in their defense against the Rebellion, piracy, and other parties.
The influx of Imperial ships has displaced some of the existing military that the Corporate Sector had for defense. As part of their new agreement with the Empire, those ships have been redeployed to help police the Hydian Way - where Rebel ships have recently been conducting a series of effective hit-and-run raids against CorpSec supply convoys. Arrangements are being made to establish safepoints in the space around the trade route: fortified systems that convoys can aim for, so that the likelihood of the rebels being able to mount a successful ambush when they drop out of Hyperspace is slim.
The Mission
One of these fortified worlds is Ruuria. Our mission is simple: infiltrate the Imperial facility on the planet, and steal the communications protocols. This will allow the Alliance to access the secure frequencies being used by the Corporate Sector and their Imperial friends: we'll be able to find out their deployment, convoy schedules, and all manner of similar things, which will help the hit-and-run missions to continue to be effective.
Maxx Elgrin will travel to Ruuria first, and will scout around; gather the sort of local intelligence we will need. He's our "man on the ground" for when the rest of us arrive, and will help direct and coordinate the mission when we attempt to infiltrate the Imperial base. When the rest of us arrive, he will be joined by Oran Jsorra, who will be providing technical support.
The Infiltration Team will be led by John Glayde. As per the original roles we chatted about way back when, Charlotte Tur'enne will be in charge of getting us into the facility; Kyran O'Hurn will be in charge of large guns and explosions, while Serasai Onashi will be there to flirt inappropriately with anyone who is even remotely attractive. ;)
The Thread
Since we got bogged down with the preparations and getting to know each other stuff on our last mission, I'd like to jump straight in with the Infiltration Team arriving at the planet, meeting up with Maxx, and then getting on with the job at hand.
I'll give you guys an opportunity to weigh in with comments, complaints and criticisms for a little while before I throw up the first post. Chime in with your like or dislike; if I get a full set of thumbs up, I'll post then... if anyone doesn't pipe up by then, but no one has any problems, then I'll kick start things come Friday regardless.
Sound like a plan?
