Say I have a dirty Heretek Fabricator type who's stolen a world and is hidden on said world...

When big bad Inquisition arrives > the idea is/was they make "target" move or leave system (aka fight another day type of deal)

So

In your opinion based on what ya know >

How would the players locate said target (i.e. Fab guy) for the kill?

(keep in mind the forces the Inquisitor is bringing is only being used to instigate a protracted exchange / i.e. take up the time and effort of said Fab's AdMech forces while "players" move in for the secret kill?

I had to rework critical parts of my adventure and am now stumped on how to present this "oppotunity" and or goal of the adventure (exterminatus is not an option today - sorry + by the time that happens said Fab target will be long gone aka muhahahahha)

Pls Advise

P.S. Players are behind enemy lines > able and awaiting how/when to strike...

While "reinforcements aka Inquisitor and Army" are on the outskirts of said system

Presumably their briefing included general layout and previous location of control centres? If so, have them "hack" into the datanet to find which location it's using, from there it's a standard infiltrate and eliminate mission...

No data on that > but it sounds like the course any agent would take...

What I'll do in that vein;

Have the acolytes be told of a former cell operative > go find their body > on their person is the info as to > clandestine previous location of control centres...

From that I can have the group hack the datanets > then target one of the hidden masters for the kill!

The foil being > you only get 1 shot - then they get away

Thanks Axe for the insight / idea!

Stay GAMING

Morbid

No problem. Hope you don't end up with TPK when they underestimate the defences!
