"With the success of the 147th and their attack on the Separatist fleet orbitting Mataou, we now have access to the Ison Corridor, a dangerous, yet vital trade route that will allow us to reinforce our listening outpost at Indellian. It will also allow us to get to Hoth without alerting any Seperatist patrols. Hoth may be a backwater planet of no monetary value, but it is within striking distance of both Sullust and Bespin." the Clone finished as he looked around the room of Generals.

"I will take the Mud Jumpers to Bespin, we will need Jetpack troopers to get into the cities to take care of the heavy Anti-air presence before we can send in an Invasion force." Kiana said, stepping forward. It was also good because the trip would take almost a week. A week of downtime with Scraper was always appreciated. But, she backed down when Plo-Koon raised his hand

"No... Our fighters will require expert leadership in order to destroy the anti-aircraft guns without damaging the civilian populace." He said. "I will make a joint attack on Bespin with the assistance of Master Tiin and his men." It was undeniable that Plo-Koon and Tiin were the greatest pilots in the order, it made sense that they lead the attack on the planet. They were also good enough to easily avoid Droid Anti-Aircraft guns.

The rest of the meeting was planning the invasion process, Masters Varrel and Fredur had been assigned to lead the Sullust attack. As soon as they finished, she began walking out, when she was approached by Plo-Koon. "I apologize for not allowing you to accompany us on this mission, my Padawan." he said.

"You haven't called me that in over a century." she frowned at him.

"I apologize for that too. But you are needed here... I sense a disturbance in the force, a disturbance that tells me not to allow you to accompany us." he said. "There are very few people I would rather have on this mission, but your duty is-"

"First and foremost to the Force." she finished. "Thank you, Master."

The Barracks were a swarm of activity as most of the clones were strapping up to be deployed. "I bet we're going to be taking the fight straight to Neimoida." laughed one of the troopers as he pulled his armour over his head.

"Of course, they know that the Mud Jumpers are the ones to call when you need a dictatorship overthrown." As Kiana entered, the men quickly finished what they were doing and stood to attention.

"At ease, soldiers... Don't bother kitting up, we haven't been deployed." there was a chorus of groans from the men. "They haven't deployed us because they see us as their +-5 in the Pazaak deck... Now, where is Captain Scraper, I have urgent matters to discuss."
