"Certain acquaintances got me access to the staffing and security information around the Foundry. A week ago, Darth Acina mysteriously removed all of the ships that were stationed to guard the place and all but a single squad of Imperial soldiers from the Foundry itself. I presume she also arranged for that sudden lack of defenses to fall into the hands of certain Jedi."
She smiles wryly. "A trap for me and a trap for them, I think. She would know I would not allow the Foundry to remain in their hands. She stands to profit whoever is victorious. Heads I win, tails you lose."
She sighs. "It would be simpler if we didn't need the Foundry's manufacturing capabilities to keep up with the Republic. We haven't got anything approaching their industrial base or their population."
