[x] "'This brutal and unprovoked attack was committed with a Separatist fleet, yes, but this was not a Separatist attack. We were warned by a high-level source within the CIS government, that Admiral Trench had gone rogue and was no longer responding to commands from the Separatist Council or Parliament. It was because of that warning that we were able to prepare for and defeat Trench's attack here on Kalee. It is not clear whose orders Trench was following, but we are confident they did not come from the Confederacy of Independent Systems.' We take a strong stand, laying no blame on the CIS and using our media outlets to tamp down on the calls for war, while we dangle bait in front of Palpatine by revealing that we have allies and assets within the Separatist government. That way, he'll have to commit some of his agents to investigate the leak, while we plant evidence and lead them by the nose to the wrong conclusion."

[X] "...Okay, hear me out..." (Write-in)
-[X] How were they able to peel this many ships from the battle lines to attack a none contributing planet without anyone being able to notice their movement of forces or us noticing their shift in attention. To me, it looks like there are agents and moles in both our intelligence agencies.
-[X] "'It's clear that with this attack that things can no longer continue the way they are, but the Council must come to a decision on what to do at this juncture.' We'll have to use bureaucracy to stall at this point. It means that there's going to be an answer expected sooner or later, but it'll also give me the most cover to work with."

[X] "'It may be true that we had to fend off an attack on Kalee, but the Council will find it hard to swallow that the Republic 'reinforcements' arrived well after the battle ended - how are we supposed to trust in protection and security like that? Let alone a military that loses track of one of its most dangerous enemies.' I'll try and turn the tables and have people focus on the Republic's 'incompetence,' which shouln't be too hard a sell with RI in chaos."
