The Ashern strike team represented a carefully assembled unit. Their mission, initiated in 7 ABY, involved penetrating the defenses of the Dlarit estate and carrying out the assassination of General Aerin Dlarit of the Thyferran Home Defense Corps. Elscol Loro commanded this group, which included Iella Wessiri, Sixtus Quin, a trio of ex-Imperial Naval Special Forces operatives, a pair of Vratix, and a quartet of refugees from the Zaltin Corporation.
