The month came faster then what most people would like. For Jack and the Mandalorians the day could not come fast enough. They had drawn up atlest a dozen plans if not more. Even though the the time line had been screwed planets that would be of high value still would not have changed much.With the knowledge that the jedi black ops teams provided it did not take long for Jack"s generals to find targets, but Jack would wait before he presented his plans. He wanted to see what the jedi would come up with maybe he would be surprised though he doubt it.
As Chancellor Valorum called the session into order. After the room quitted down the jedi senator moved his platform to the middle of the persuasion. "Fellow members of the Republic. I thank you for allowing us the opportunity to show why trusting the first strike of the war to the jedi order will help bring the war to a quick close." Taking a moment to organize the flies for his presentation. Jack visibly winced, he could tell from just his opening statement the jedi that had been in charge of this project were more than likely pompous fools.
Who more than likely would come up with the idea to throw jedi into all of the battle fields as well as place them in command. Even under abnormal conditions that would not even be a remotely solid plan. Still Jack would listen if anything he was patient. The jedi senator continued once his thoughts were in order.
"The Plan the we of the order have devised consistent of 6 major operational fronts. Major attacks on Geonosis, Cato Neimoidia, and Dathomir. These attacks will be for total control of the planet and the surrounding star systems. We will then move Major fleets to take control of shipping lanes around Tatooine and Hutt controlled s.p.a.ce. Once we lock down the core world we can move to take control of all of the outer rim worlds they have begun to show they are falling under control of Confederacy influence."
The Senate seem to approve of this plan as their were quite murmurs and nods of approval that could be seen and hear. Chancellor Valorum seemed almost pleased that is until he spotted the expression on the face of the New Mandalorian senator. He didnt have to be a jedi or a mind reader to know that this group was not remotely happy with the plan.

"The chair would like to recognize the members from New Mandalor, as it seems they have questions concerning these actions." Jack move his platform to replace the jedi. " Thank you Chancellor, I only have a few questions, one what are your rules of engagement, two who will lead this attack force, three what are your plans with gathering intelligence, and four what do you plan to do if you find out that a planets government sides with the CIS but it"s people do not."
The jedi seem visibly offended by being questioned. " The rules of engagement are simply defeat the enemy army spare the structures of the planet and take prisoners if they surrender. As for who will lead we will place Jedi commanders within every battalion and fleet we send out they will lead all operations. We have already gathered enough intelligence for the current operation and if we need more we will send more jedi ops teams to gather it, and for your final question if that happens we will send a detachment to said planet and help the locals fight their government."
The jedi felt he had answered these ridiculous questions in perfect fashion, however that was not going to cur it for Jack. " Yea you see that"s not going to work for me or for any other planets that specializes in warfare. First by trying to spare structures you are now limiting the fire power of your ground forces. That is a mistake for I can promise you the enemy will do no such thing. Two you jedi have been taught tactics and strategies by my people and they tell me you lot are far from ready when it comes to taking command.
Three taking prisoners sounds nice but if you have no system in place they just become a liability and a resource drain. Last but not lest helping a planet people fight the government just to install a Republic friendly government is just inviting trouble. The best course of action in those situations would be to help the people escape from the planet and gla.s.s it. Then when the war is over re terraform the planet and place the population back."
The Senate erupted with yelling and screaming, "Gla.s.s a planet what about of fire power would you need to do that!", and "That is madness you cant force a planet population to just move!" Jack had expected this out rage but he had notice a few keys players had not been surprised by his statement. Those coming from Naboo, Alderaan,Kashyyyk, and Kamino. Two of them he had expected the other two had surprised him but it was a welcome surprise.
"Oh and before I forget when it comes to Intel if you dont have a constant feed then you are already a step behind. Case in point you had intelligence that Your three major targets where in the process of building an army correct?" Chancellor Valorum grow worried by what may come out of the Mand"lor mouth next.
"Well I have had my teams station in those systems for the past month and I can tell you not only is the army complete but so is there fleet as well. We are dealing with droids not people so the creation time for the machines is hours not years like flesh and blood. So I move to dismisse the jedi plan and instead use my plan. We keep the planned attacks on Geonosis, Cato Neimoidia, and Dathomir but instead of jedi leading we let veteran generals take command.
They will be able to make the quick decision needed to win battles, second rules of engagement should be changed to the total defeat of all enemy forces on the planet at what every the costs. Civilian casualties should be keep to a minimum and the preservation of our forces keep at the highest priority. We can not afford to take ma.s.sive losses when our troops must be give atlest 18 years to mature.
Takings prisoners should be reserved for only high value targets, because we are fighting droids we can just take information from the fallen and sc.r.a.pe and armies that surrender. Oh and I was serious about glossing planets my people can do it and will, this is war if your are trying to play fair then you have already lost."
With that Jack moved his platform back to its normal position. while the Senate chambers were completely silent. The Mand"lor had just dropped one of the biggest bomb sh.e.l.ls that the Republic had ever heard. They had the ability to gla.s.s entire worlds and they were willing to do it. This was madness to some but to most it ment that if they crossed these New Mandalorians their was a good chance that after this war they could find their world gla.s.sed as well.
The jedi spoke first, " The fact that have planet destroying weapons is a clear violation of the planetary protection act as such it falls on this Senate to vote to remove you from the Republic and strip you of the technology, as.." Before the jedi could even finish Keith spoke before Jack even had the chance.
"Remove us and you will be on your own for this war which suits us just fine we can fight and win on our own, but try and take something that does not belong to you jedi and we will burn you and your temple to ash. It will make the Second Sacking of Coruscant look like a bonfire in comparison you jedi f.u.c.k!"
Utter disbelief was plastered arcoss the jedi"s face. It was not just his face either Chancellor Valorum had the same look as well. He knew if he did not do something he would likely lose the only true ally he had in the Senate.
"As the current Chancellor I believe only I have the ability to remove a respecting member of this body, and seeing how we are about to go to war I see nothing wrong with the New Mandalorians having and expanding a.r.s.enal. Especially if you consider how their planet was first take over by an invading force when they first entered the galactic stage. I move to vote on the Mand"lors plan.
Jack knew with this his plan was secured and began his exit from the chambers he would leave the rest to his Senator and his staff to finish any details. For now troops need to moved and his army on Kamino need to be activated. It would take weeks to get the Republic integrated with his own forces and his jedi order would need to show its face to the jedi on Coruscant.
But soon the are would be here and he had a feeling it would not be like anything in the movies.
