...Huh. Wow, I'd have thought people would've known considering that if I was a major player(Whether politician or whatever) in Star Wars, I'd have kept close tabs on the only major supplier of bacta in the galaxy in case something happened, not necessarily like this.
So as I write, my words will free me!

Mate I'm pretty sure Canon Asajj could hold off both Anakin and Obi Wan at the same time(not win sure, but 2v1).
And I'm pretty sure both of the, are at least equal to Jedi Masters by this point, not a Yoda or Windu sure, but the rest of the mooks sure.

So we have two Master equivalents. In other words, we have the equivalent of two pre-Sair BX teams. We'll just send in two BX teams, then. Or three. Or four. Or as many as we need to. Point is, we don't need to send in anything but a sufficient amount of BX teams. BXs are awesome.

Ok where are you getting the understanding that a team of BX droids can beat a master?
One master unprepared against a squad of them when they were a new weapon that hadn't been used before maybe, but consistently beating masters?
These things lost against Rex and Cody alone for crying out loud At this point I thin you're exaggerating one incident to stupid high proportions.
And again Exar Kun one of the most powerful force users ever and incorporeal phantom really droids are super useful against force using phantoms right.

I think you may have a point. But why wouldn't droids be useful against phantoms? Can't they just shoot the phantoms with their blasters?
...they're ghosts.

The incorporeal phantoms yeah great plan... ok I know I'm being snarky, but seriously think about it, if a phantom cannot interact with the world save through the force and the material world can't do the same with them to the point that Vevectivus can walk through solid metal walls and needs to hire no 2 to do physical interactions for him I don't think shooting them with a blaster will do shit.

In short, no. Not unless I'm seriously misunderstanding how they work.
...Y'know, I wonder of Palps is having palpitations over the fact that Thyferra removed their application and that Wat Tambor has disappeared along with Metalorn going up in flames and the factories too*?
Eh? Eh?
*I'd mention the dinner with Dooku too, but we have no idea just how bad it may be for them
Well, Palpatine might be slightly annoyed that a bunch of Republic Commandos performed an daring operation without his approval, I dare to say he'll be pinning medals on a bunch of confused clones. Palpatine might be a Sith Lord, but he recongises the threat a bunch of lightsaber-proof B2s pose. Sure they might help against the Jedi, but he's got plans to deal with them, so the only threat they pose is if Dooku turns on him with them at his back.
As for Wat Tambor, I have a theory on that. Due to all the explosions that were being thrown around it's possible they think he's dead. For those more in the know they think he's gone into hiding (for the Republic they think it's for safety reasons. For the Separatists they think it's because Tambor ended up causing another Ryloth [money and resources sunk into a project that never gave any real returns] and he's terrified what Count Dooku will do to him).
Speaking of Dooku I'm looking forward with glee to see what comes out of it. From the title it appears we're going to show him how a true Sith Lord operates.

Iunno if he'll be pinning medals on the clones and shit. After all, no one know about what the Techno Union was making other than the Techno Union and now us. Plus, I'm sure that Palps has plans to deal with Dookueven with these droids. Your theories on Tambor seem pretty likely though, I'm forced to admit.
And yes, I too, am looking forward to the Dooku interlude with great anticipation.
For what to do with Wat, I don't see any reason for him to survive past giving up every piece of information that can be dragged out of him.
As for after, well, doesn't Ciaran have Force Sensitive shapeshifters on staff? God only knows how valuable it'd be to have an agent placed that highly, the only trouble will be training the agent to be able to fool Dooku's senses.

thats why he mentionsed groups of them, maby groups.
That was because Grievous decided to ignore the immortal zombies and just go straight to the source of the problem to solve with lightsabers.

Zombies are not ghosts and Grevious giving Talzin an emergency lobotomy would do that.

Well, unless those shapeshifters you mentioned can trick Dooku, we could put him back in his old spot and make him report to us using blackmail and/or having Cheris implant bombs or some kind of device to make him loyal to us. Maybe use him to put some more Agents into his organization(s) so we can covertly take over or get more information or whatever. Or we can just kill him and collect the bounty. I'm sure there's one out there somewhere.

I certainly hope, given that the squishy bits of the Jedi Order have been evacuated to Tython, that there isn't an...
ATTACK ON TYTHON
And on that day, the Jedi received a grim reminder...
Other notes, now that the horrible reference is out of the way:
Taris as the new home of a large part of Incom makes it safer because they probably keep the local defense force in stock and up to date on fighters.
Foundry Assault Mini-Turn will likely result in a Riphath Omake. "Oh Sithspit, why us, why here?"
Speaking of Riphath omakes, I'm planning on putting one together later tonight for getting better at Blazing Chains, on the following premise: "A low-power-required high-skill-ceiling Force ability only limited by creativity? Guess where all my disposable time is going."
Jedi Sentinel support is good.
Hopefully no Attack On Tython.
Free action to contact one Force Order per turn = learning more stuff = more fuel for Riphath omakes. Yes, I have a certain lens I view these things through, but also contacting Force Orders is good.
Baobabs...yes, Mungo is probably a cousin.
Fry: worth the bother, absolutely.
Oh good, now we can start picking off members of Palpatine's Inner Circle so that he starts having a Bad Time.
Well, that limits the numbers for order 66. It also gives us an angle on X1 and X2 and gave us info on the Spaarti cylinders.
WAT. Also, Sair Frame'd Droidekas. No, you're drooling.
Black Market Bacta. Brilliant.
Yavin 4 is scary. Bring Heroes.
Super blasters. To go along with the blazing chains shenanigans.
YSALAMIRI. When you absolutely positively NEED to muffle the Force in an area.
Shields are good.
Sair Frames. Yes. We now have something we could legitimately throw at the Foundry turn in and turn out.
Soresu. It's a thing. It's a long, slow, difficult thing that is philosophically opposed to pretty much everything else we do. It's the Obi-Wan form, the "The Force is for Knowledge and Defense" form. Now, if we pick up some Djem So from Anakin starting next turn we can go from "the defense form" to "the counterattack form", which all pairs nicely with the Makashi Duelist style and the whole concept of turning defense into offense. (I'm fond of the counterattack as a thing, if you must know.)
Dooku. Dinner. D-exciting!
Sister Ventress. Also, Holy Miraluka Buffs, Batman.
Sair Frames? Sair Frames. We're starting to reach semantic saturation here, but making droids broken-good is worth it.
Ambassador Ventress. Because increased probability of tiering up Agents means increased probability of Abyss Walker Riphath. (Which would itself be omake fuel) Also, extra intel on Force Orders is nice--increased numbers or thorough dossiers.
Cuy'val Dar. I'm a fan.
3 watcher teams vanished. Probably all retired after the Dooku Dinner because that was hazard pay and a half?

the title is kinda confusing, whos the sith and whos the noble?
I'm sure Kal had to explain the unauthorised mission to Metalorn (if only as an alibi encase anyone discovers the sabotage on Kamino) and destroying a new anti-Jedi weapon before it's deployed on the battlefield is a good reason to launch one. Besides it's not as though he took anything else, just levelled everything involved in their construction and made sure it couldn't be restarted.
Remember Palpatine still needs the Republic to win the Clone Wars and super tough battle droids pose a threat to the Jedi that he needs spread across the galaxy so he can have Anakin and the Clones waltz into the Jedi Temple and take it intact with all its knowledge and secrets.

Ciaran would call Ventress her younger sister, if just to constantly remind her that Ciaran is the older one to drive her crazy.
Last I checked Ciaran wasn't a noble.
