K thanks. By themselves they were capable of doing a lot of damage.

Droid Control ships are of no concern. Seriously, they go down pretty easily.

I doubt they would be in the front lines anyway.

Don't they have to be in the system?

I'd assume the Supremacy would only attempt ground invasion if they secured the system first.

Regardless being in the system does not mean on the frontlines.

I don't think it matters where it sits, since its frontline is made out of toilet paper.

Unless of course, it is equipped with a stealth field generator.

OK, I think I might call this soon. So if anyone has any final arguments.

Just the basic lowdown really.

That, and, if the AE win the space/ground battles and begin the hunt for G0-T0, assassins become even less viable as Mothma would likely have Koon and IK, or even Koon and Kenobi guarding her.

That, and I think all of Aurbere's forces are simply far superior to the DS.

His fleet is easily more equipped for a war.

Her droids also have the large flaw of being entirely useless if a space battle is lost....
We all live or die as Krayt wills, Stryfe. At his word, I would cut out my own heart. Or yours.

I have not fully fleshed out the idea yet but I thought I might as well mention it.

It is likely that the DS could attack say, Anaxes with a decent sized force calling the attention of the AE and they may or may not send reinforcements. If they do send reinforcements I feel it would depend on what size of a force was attacking, if it was significant enough they might send the Executor to reinforce it. The DS using its underworld contacts could be keeping tabs on all AE movements would then be notified by their agents on Coruscant. Kind of hard to hide a ship that size no longer being in orbit. Once notified the DS could then initiate phase 2 now that the Executor is headed the opposite direction than where they are going to be. This is when they would send their remaining forces to strike at Kuat and then Corellia *they are fairly close together*. When the AE get reports that the DS are attacking their shipyards *if they were not jammed* then the Executor will have a long trip to strike at the invaders since it was already enroute to Anaxes. It then becomes a race of it the DS can disable and or capture the vessels at the shipyards. That may include any ships in construction that already have navigation systems installed. Those that they could not take with them they would sabotage or out right destroy. By the point they are working on Corellia it is likely that the Executor is about to arrive or arrives as the defending forces are only just defeated. It would then be the DS's main goal to simply pull back as their bombers/fighters finished crippling the ships in construction that they could not hijack. Their work done, if the Executor doesn't have the Immobilizer with it, they hyperspace out of system without engaging that monster. If it DOES have the Immobilizer they simply use their superior sub-light speed to create massive distance past the gravity shadow. *Note, if it is only the Executor that comes, it might be possible to wreak havok on it using fighters/bombers due to its low-focus on anti-fighter weaponry*

There are numerous things that can and likely would go wrong but due to concentration of forces and the distraction of the Executor it is likely that the DS would still come out ahead. They may be mostly droids, but large scheme things such as this are right up GO-TO's alley, and it does not matter the strategies used due to such severe out numbering at Kuat and Corellia.

Side Note: If the Executor changes courses away from Anaxes in a rush to get to Kuat and Corellia *which due to distance would take a while to reach still* then Anaxes is likely to have suffered heavy casualties. Smaller skirmishes serve the DS much more so than the AE it seems to me due to their abundance of anti-fighter weapons as well as the capability to still effectively combat larger ships.

Second Side Note: A similar plan could be executed should the first target that the AE goes after not be one that the DS requires for victory as a sacrificial lamb. Nar Shaddaa and Bothawui are such examples since neither would allow full domination by the AE due to their cultures. Kamino, Mon Calimari and Geonosis are another story due to their importance to different parts of the war. It also all depends on where Mon Mothma is last suspected of being when the attack comes. If she is still on Curuscant it would not surprise me if the DS made a mad rush to the core to achieve control over Coruscant. Though due to the strong ties that large parts of the planet has to the underworld it may be likely to lower the planetary shields or assassinate key members without the fleets help.

Question: Does Geonosis include its native inhabitants the Geonosions if it is attacked?

Second Question: Any ideas about what sort of vessels would be able to be purchased on the black market that they could use for things such as infiltration or sabotage?

Edit: In the more likely case that they send some of their ISD with the Executor *presumably from the same fleet as the Executor originated from* unless they include the Immobilizer then the escape strategy would be the same. Should they bring the Immobilizer with them *since they might want to stop the invaders at Anaxes from retreating* then it is possible that the DS could have its fighter craft disable the gravity field generators to allow them to escape, likely losing many fighter pilots in the process.

End Result if things according to plan *them variables*: Minimal casualties to the DS due to concentration of forces and the capture of vessels that they may then put to use, repair, or finish construction at their own shipyard at Mon Calimari.
