Mission to Murkhana (Resistance)

"Even the Resistance's recruiters ought to know the benefits of the casting couch. Perhaps especially the Resistance's recruiters, if the stories about your general are true...."

- Gloram Yobus

Hoping to gather information on suspected First Order collaborators in the New Republic and secure Visualist Shadowfeeds for Resistance broadcasts, General Leia Organa dispatched Zhenya Spacestrider and Narra Tynn on a mission to aggressively negotiate with Gloram Yobus and the Visualists on Murkhana.

Prelude
During the Clone Wars, the planet Murkhana was used by the Hyper-Communications Cartel as a center for Separatist Shadowfeed broadcasting. When it came to power, the Galactic Empire devastated Murkhana in retaliation, though Cartel equipment remained intact for those who knew how to use it. An underworld community of artists and slicers settled on Murkhana, naming themselves the Visualists and utilizing the Separatist equipment to shape the future by subversion in the media. The holofilm producer Gloram Yobus worked as cover for the Visualists' activities.

Leia Organa hoped to make contact with the Visualists in order to use both their sympathizers and their broadcast equipment to slice into the HoloNet and gather information on suspected First Order collaborators in the New Republic including Lady Carise Sindian and Erudo Ro-Kiintor. In return for the Visualists' assistance, Leia agreed to give the rights of her life story to Yobus, which she considered to be quite the price for her information. To this end, she dispatched Zhenya Spacestrider and Narra Tynn. Spacestrider had been part of Kanjiklub, born into the syndicate by a mother enslaved by the Hutts and liberated during the uprising on Nar Kanji; Tynn had met Leia in the Star Whores nightclub on Coruscant, where Leia recognized her business and legal acumen.

The mission
"We happy? Zhen? We happy?" "Yeah, we happy."

- Narra Tynn and Zhenya Spacestrider

Spacestrider and Tynn investigated the Visualists around the time of the Hosnian Cataclysm as part of the SABE Unit. They hunched over a holoscreen in a structure in Murkhana's blasted hellscape, and were happy with what they found on it. They used their particular set of Hutt-educated skills in aggressive negotiation with the Visualists in exchange for broadcasting Resistance Shadowfeeds across the galaxy and coordinating communication with allies in the Outer Rim Territories.

After Spacestrider and Tynn were dispatched on the Murkhana mission, General Organa dispatched Commanders Korr Sella and Poe Dameron, along with BB-8, to gain information on the location of Ahch-To from Blabba the Hutt on Berchest.

Following the Battle of Starkiller Base, BB-8 projected a brief snippet of his recording of the mission to General Organa, while attempting to access a holo-recording of a liaison on Ztdetelik. Organa watched her agents view a holoscreen before BB-8 shifted to another file. The agents remained on Murkhana as of the battle, continuing to aggressively negotiate until news came through of Han Solo's death. They approached Yobus about sending out notices of Solo's death, as well as anecdotes and scathing condemnations of his murder. Yobus agreed for the price of having the girls audition on his casting couch as starlets for new propaganda vids. Spacestrider briefly returned to her old ways to service Yobus alongside Tynn, and the girls offered up their bodies to him. Their special brand of aggressive negotiation won over Yobus, and thanks to the girls' persuasiveness, Visualist feeds were soon reconfigured to broadcast Resistance Shadowfeeds into the depths of the underworld, in order to combat First Order propaganda.
