Cato Neimoidia (Last mission, Main story)

The council has asked you to meet them at the communication centre. They claim this is going to be your final mission during the war. As all the masters gather, either by holo or personally, the meeting begins. A careful plan is devised, detailing all the currently known or suggested locations of the CIS leaders, who have fled to their respective strongholds before they are transported to a new, safe location by Grievous. The plan is to kidnap or, if not possible, terminate them. All targets will be assigned a group of two Jedi. Each group would consist of a Jedi master and a knight, as the available resources of the order are scarce at the moment, the masters would bring their assigned legions, naturally, but stealth rather than strength is strongly advised to be the main element of the operations. The list goes as follows:

1. General Grievous (Supreme Leader of the CIS): {if Obi-Wan = true}Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, Utapau. (Claiming the mission to be too dangerous for Jedi knights, he goes alone with his legion of clones){endif}{if Obi-Wan = false}Master Yoda, Utapau. (Claiming the mission to be too dangerous for Jedi knights, he goes alone, without any clone support){endif}
2. San Hill (Chairman of the Intergalactic Banking Clan): Master Ki-Adi-Mundi and Nari, Mygeeto.
3. Poogle the Lesser (Archduke and Leader of the Geonosian Industries): Master Mace Windu and Taron Malicos, Geonosis.
4. Wat Tambor (Foreman of the Techno Union): Master (although not officially) Anakin Skywalker, Skako Minor. (He insisted on going alone with clone **** 99 and his squad of 501st clones, especially Captain Rex)
5. Tikkes (Leader of the Quarren Isolation League): Master Kit Fisto and Eekar Oki, Dac.
6. Nute Gunray (Viceroy of the Trade Federation): Master Plo Koon and Lana Ordo, Cato Neimoidia.
7. Shu Mai (Presidente of the Commerce Guild): Master Aayla Secura and Ranvi, Felucia.
8. Passel Argente (Magistrate of the Corporate Alliance): Master Saesee Tiin and Drek, Kooriva.
9. Po Nudo (Chairman of the Hyper-Communications Cartel): Master Depa Billaba and Caleb Dume, Kaller.

Yoda finishes the session by wishing you all the best and the **** to be with you. You will need it. When the orders are given, you say goodbye and wish the best to Drek and Ranvi, before you approach Master Plo.

Lana (bowing in respect): Master Plo, it will be ah honour to fight by your side!

Plo (bowing similarly): The honour will be all mine, Lana, being on a mission with someone from the JSF is always an honour on its own. Your reputation precedes you, I look forward to seeing your exploits myself. Come, let us depart and figure out the details of our infiltration of Gunray's headquarters.

You both depart the temple with your own starfighters and land on Plo's capital ship. It jumps to lightspeed, and you discuss your plan onboard. You will both fly your ships into the city at first daylight, in stealth mode, which won't hide you from eyesight, only the radar and scanners. His clone forces will remain hidden behind the moon and wait for his signal to attack the city if needed. Once you land nearby, you'll infiltrate the building on foot and capture the viceroy. As agreed upon previously, you hop in your fighters and take off to the city when the time is right.

Cato Neimoidia is most famous for being the Trade Federation's headquarters. It is home to the Neimoidian species, being their most prosperous planet. Among the numerous strongholds of the many Trade Federation barons, the planet is unique because it has bridge cities, unlike any other planet in the known galaxy.

The reason for this unorthodox building method is the acidic oceans and the stormy, foggy and geyserous lands below. From these uninhabitable areas rose huge rock arches, which were connected by the bridge cities, providing a livable area to colonise.

All goes well, you fly into orbit with Master Plo and close the distance to the city, seemingly undetected.

Upon getting closer and closer, you spot some of the Trade Federation's capital ships guarding the area. This wasn't part of the plan at all, you can't just fly past them without being seen. You try to fly around and see if you could get close from an other direction.

The quarter, which has Gunray's stronghold in it, is surrounded from all sides by his ships. You can't infiltrate it unseen. Hence, you come up with an unconventional idea. How about you fly close to one of the cargo ships flying into the city and magnetically lock yourselves onto its back, then leave the ships in the cargo area and go on foot from then on.

Plo: I see, so this is the innovativeness of the JSF. I am truly impressed Lana. Let us go and realize your plan.

You do just as you said, find a transport ship and lock yourselves onto its back, avoiding detection. All goes according to plan, you pass the first capital ship with ease, only a few more until you land safely. That is, of course, had somebody not opened fire on you, from a fighter.

Plo (detaching his fighter): Ambush!

Lana (detaching your fighter): Damn, it was a pretty good plan!

Plo: We cannot fight the whole fleet on our own, we must pull back!

Lana: I concur master, let's retreat and signal the fleet to start the attack!

With the firefight drawing attention, the deactivated vulture droids are reactivated, and then they swarm out of the hangars. You have ample time to fly past the ships before they can shoot you down, the droids are still far away, the escape route is secure. As the fighter is firing on your fighter from behind, you have a strange feeling, you can't ignore though. Trying to shake it off, it keeps firing and hits you multiple times, had you not had your shield, you would be fried by now. You can't help but wonder, how can a droid pilot a fighter so well? Until, you are struck by a sudden realization.

Lana (to yourself): That pilot... They must be using the ****... But if they do, then... I must check something!

You reach out to the fighter while attempting to dodge their sweeping gunfire. Then, you are shocked to sense your own presence in that ship.

Lana (loudly): That's her! That's my clone firing on me! That daughter of a...! I won't let her root me like that!

You turn your ship around and return the fire. Plo is stunned by your sudden turn and contacts you.

Plo: Lana! Stop fighting, there is no time for that! Come, we are almost out of the range of their capital ships!

Lana: Just a minute Master Plo, I have to handle her!

Plo (surprised): Her? What do you mean?

Lana: That ship is piloted by...!

Then, your transmission is jammed, you can't talk to him any longer. Nevertheless, you keep duelling that fighter.

Plo: Lana! Lana, do you read me?! Damn, we are being jammed! This is a lost fight, we must retreat! Lana! Ah, I have **** but to leave her and come back for her...

Lana (fighting the fighter): Come here, you little...! I'll show you how a real pilot flies a ship! Take this!

You manage to land a barrage of shots on the ship, but its shield absorbs your laser. Turning the chase around, now you are the hunter and they are the hunted. But the hunt is cut short because your ship is stopped mid air in a matter of seconds, almost sending you out through the frontal window.

Lana (angrily): What the...?! Oh no, tractor beam! No, no, no!

You attempt to break free of the beam, but it is futile. Your ship is slowly dragged onto one of the ships.
