Report:
At the start of the mission, it was debated if we should go in disguise to broker the recruitment. It was decided against and we would go as we were, as this was a neutral system and there was the opportunity to present the Empire as a civilised society that it is to the engineers and populous with the intent to be diplomatic and clean.
Upon arrival, we ran into a group at the gate of the settlement for the shipyard. They questioned who we were and were confrontational to our arrival. After a brief back and forth they reacted negatively to a demonstration with the force made by some in the group and attempted to close the gates on our group. Apprentice Nivalis then killed the leader of the pack at the gate of probable gangster aligned 'workers' and blasters were quickly drawn. What followed was wild firing erupted from the fleeing group as we managed to get inside.
The settlement, to put it bluntly, was plunged into chaos. Attempts to calm citizens and workers alike were met with fear and distrust. Gaining good will with the general populous was lost.
Thus, we quickly proceeded to the main hall while we still had the chance. I managed to convince the shipyard's manager, Mr Ghut, to an audience with us under assurances for his life, offers for mutual benefit and for our leave to be swift after the talk.
After some back and forth with me, the terrified man eventually met with us but not without 'associates' being present. These were definitely gang members as what happened at the gate was already travelling fast and their anger and fear was palpable in them, along with their armaments.
After some more negotiation, I managed to convince the opposing party to allow myself to be broadcast to their engineers and workers. This was to quickly get control of the narrative to the those we desired to recruit, reframe what happened at the gate into our favour as much as possible and propose an offer to ensure their recruitment that played against the gang's objectives. The 'associates' attempted to attack our group after the broadcast, enraged as what was exposed to their workings and the much better offer I gave the protesting engineers in wages, security and their limitless potential under the Empire. They were swiftly dealt with. I ensured Mr Ghut gave over the necessary contracts for recruitment and we, with a decent sum of engineers, made our leave.
In short:
I would say the operation is a partial success.
We managed to convince and gather the necessary amount of engineers and their families into Imperial recruitment and the gang making the extorsion were dealt a serious blow. But the diplomatic damage based on the execution of the latter objective is not one easily to be forgotten by the neutral system and it won't do us any favours in the future, that goes without saying of the potential additional manpower we likely lost out on.
