USH'S STAR WARS GAME- CAMPAIGN II EPISODE IV (RENEGADES)- Battlefield

They have landing craft, which they used on Naboo.

But the defence system here is extremely good. As soon as the landing craft fly through the shield, they'll be torn to pieces by the ground defences.

And you cannot bombard the ground defences... because of the shield.

"It doesn't sound... likely," says the Colonel.

"I know it doesn't, but you have to trust me," Xeth says. "The Union is extremely apt at keeping its immoral motives hidden, but they have made one mistake. I'm still around."

The Colonel receives a message at this point, and excuses himself for a few moments, giving you guys a little while to discuss amongst yourselves.

Vlad twirls his lightsaber between his fingers slightly, before tightening it back onto his belt.

"How exactly is the Techno Union planning on invading this planet? Perhaps not with force, but with politics and lies?"

They didn't go through all the hassle of using the Cult to help assemble an invasion force in a way the authorities would not notice... for nothing, you think.

That is a good point... Then they must have someone in the inside of the planet, a spy or sabotager of some sort to shut off atleast part of the defenses.
Since the shield generator is, I guess, on the surface of the planet it would be pretty much impossible for bombardment to succeed.

You've never heard of a shield generator that can cover a planet.

"We should suggest to the Colonel to go through the records of everyone who works on the defense network," Lance suggests. "If he finds a saboteur then we have helped and he would then believe our story. If he is unable to find anyone, well...Alura would be no worse off. It's better safe than sorry."

Multiple shield generators in use, then, Ush?

Must be! And even then it is pretty impressive.

You can have overlapping shields but not one single shield generator.

Hmmm, thinking along the lines of saboteur. What if it's less one person and more one nation, these people are divided and I assume each nation has at least one generator. The Union may have offered one nation something in return for shutting off their generator.

I'd also like to know why he was scanning our ships.

Though off topic Wentar will let Xeth know about Calhoun and Nostrum too. Might be useful for him to know a few of us ticked off the Serpent.

He returns.

"We are picking up some unusual readings on the edge of the system. That being the case, I would like to take you to the city's strategic command centre."

"Okay. I'd like ask something though, what were your people scanning our ships for when we arrived?"

"A security precaution."

"What were you looking for, if you don't mind my asking?"

"Anything at all of note."

Sorry about the freakishly late reply. Real life can be distracting.

"What do you consider 'note' worthy?"

Not advancing the plot I know but after last times gun jumping I might wait for more people to be on before leaping into the next stage.

I think they were just making sure we weren't carrying any dangerous or suspicious in our ships... Even perhaps contraband.

Vlad nods at the Colonel "Then lets get going, Colonel"

Indeed, he was just checxking if you were carrying anything dangerous.
