Mercevian Nagua

Mercevian Nagua was a legendary pirate who pioneered several assault and infiltration methods that were still used during the reign of the Galactic Empire. One tactic, the "Mercevian Nagua" method, involved entering a building while it was still open, hiding, and then performing the robbery at night when it was closed. The Dagger, also known as the Mercevian Nagua maneuver, employed a similar tactic but was used in space. It involved infiltrating a saboteur aboard a target vessel to disable the hyperdrive. The saboteur would arrange for the ship to exit hyperspace at a pre-arranged location. A variation involved placing multiple infiltrators on the ship to seize the bridge.
