*Talz language translated to basic*

Narration: ”Plot! Now that the disposal of Lux Bonteri, has been accomplished, Count Dooku awaits further orders from Lord Sidious, always unaware of what his next assignment could be!”

Count Dooku sits bored in his palace on Serenno, anxiously awaiting his next orders from his Master, Darth Sidious. Just as Dooku decides it might be time to turn in for the night, Sidious appears in a hologram beside him. Dooku immediately drops to his knees and says “My lord?” and Sidious replies “I have a new task that needs doing” and Dooku replies “What task might this be?” and Sidious says “The Talz species. Eliminate them!” and Dooku says “But, my lord, they are a powerful warrior, they could sweep the snow with our battle droids!” and Sidious replies “Then it is time to test our new Droid model”… Dooku, stunned says “The Snow Droids, my lord? They have not been tested, what if they are not ready?” and Sidious simply says “See to it that they are” before vanishing…

Count Dooku walks along the hangar of the Separatist frigate heading toward Orto Plutonia. He stops walking in front of a squad of Battle Droids and says “OOM-12, is my ship ready?” and OOM-12 replies “Roger, roger!” and Dooku says “Excellent, prepare the tanks and fighters for ground assault” before heading off to where the final checks are being made on the Snow Droids. Dooku stops in front of the Snow Droids “You have been specifically designed for this cold climate, which gives you an advantage other forces won’t have, and if necessary, you can turn up the heat”. Dooku points to the razor sharp blades equipped to the Snow Droids arms. Dooku asks “Are you ready for your first test?” and the Snow Droids reply “Roger, roger!”. Dooku says “Let’s begin then!” as he climbs into his Solar Sailor. Separatist Landing Craft’s, Vulture Droids and Droid Tri-Fighters follow him to the planet’s surface.

The Separatist Landing Craft’s deploy out AAT’s and Snow Droids. The Snow Droid’s assemble as Dooku sets up his Command Post. Tactical Droid TA-175 comes up to him and says “The army is assembled, Count Dooku” and Dooku calls out “It is time, to begin!”. OOM-12, sitting in an AAT, calls out “You heard him, fire!” and the AAT’s begin raining fire on the Talz homes below them. Several Talz, including Thi-Sen, immediately rush out. Thi-Sen calls out *Form up, and repel our trespassers!”. Several Talz try to rush the AAT’s, but are crudely blown out of the way by the tanks, creating a hole in the snow, which more Talz fall into. Thi-Sen calls out to his friend, Lacu Seka, *Take some other Talz and create a diversion, I’ll delay them here!* and Lacu replies *Yes, my friend!*. Up above, Dooku says to TA-175 “Deploy the Snow Droids, let’s see how the Talz like them!”. TA-175 calls out “Deploy the Snow Droids, attack formation!”. The Snow Droids deploy and head off to attack the Talz. Thi-Sen calls out *Stand firm, fellow brave Talz!*. Thi-Sen and twenty other Talz charge the oncoming Snow Droids. The numbers are well not in Thi-Sen’s favour, but the Talz braveness makes up for that. One Talz proving worth at least five Snow Droids. The Talz throw their spears at the Snow Droids, knocking some aside, destroying others, and some missing their target altogether. Several times, Thi-Sen is almost killed by those sharp blades, and a horrible noise catches his attention, and he sees a Talz head on the ground, separated from it’s body. Too late, Thi-Sen doesn’t see another Snow Droid coming and the razor sharp blade cuts Thi-Sen across the arm, knocking Thi-Sen to the ground. But before the Snow Droid can finish him, a explosion distracts the Separatists, and Thi-Sen seizes his chance, grabbing the Snow Droid before using it’s own blade against it, cutting off the droid head. Thi-Sen calls out *Retreat! Retreat! To the Mountains, so we can recover and regroup!” and the Talz rush off away from the fight.

Once in the Mountains, Thi-Sen finds Lacu Seka, and says *It is good to see you are alive* and Lacu replies *Same to you*. Lacu then adds *What should we do now?* and Thi-Sen replies *Contact the JedI Council, and our friend Foul Moudama, for help*. Thi-Sen activates a hologram and contacts the Jedi Council, Yoda answers and says “Chieftain Thi-Sen, what may I do for you?” and Thi-Sen replies *We need support, the Separatists have attacked our colony, and vastly outnumber us. We will be slaughtered without your assistance!*. Yoda simply says “Send reinforcements, we will, fear not, we shall help you in this terrible conflict!* as the story ends!
