A deadly weapon unleashed. The Separatist battleship 'Malevolence' advances unopposed through Republic space, tearing apart any ship that stands in its path. After a daring rescue and narrow escape, Anakin Skywalker prepares a counterattack on the enemy ship and its diabolical droid commander, General Grievous.

(Republic Fleet)
Admiral Yularen stands beside Anakin as R2 projects a hologram while Admiral Yularen briefs the clone troopers.
Yularen: This strike force has been commissioned by the Senate to hunt down the enemy's new battleship.
Admiral Yularen continued his briefing as Master Plo, Ahsoka, and Alan walk over.
Yularen: As the bulk of our fleets are engaged on the front lines, we'll be on our own. General Skywalker has prepared our attack strategy.
He looks over at Anakin, who takes over the briefing.
Anakin: Thank you, Admiral. While our capital ships are vulnerable to the enemy's attack, I believe a squad of bombers can out-maneuver their ion weapon. Our target will be the bridge and General Grievous.
The clones begin talking amongst themselves.
Matchstick: (mutters to another clone) Ha, the head clanker. Skywalker's getting pretty ambitious.
Anakin: Our bombers will attack at high speed to evade the enemy's ion weapon. We'll concentrate our firepower on the bridge superstructure, here. We destroy General Grievous, and the ship will fall with him. Any questions?
Matchstick: (stands up) Just tell us where that metal-head is, sir
Clone 2: Yeah, we've been waiting for a chance to take him out.
The various clones cheer at this. While Anakin chuckles.
Anakin: (chuckles) All right, men. Settle down. (as the clones sit back down) This is an important mission. We destroy Grievous, we can bring the war to a quicker end. Pilots, prepare your bombers.
With the end of the briefing, the clones stand and walk toward their posts. Master Plo steps forwards while Ahsoka and Talion stay behind him, with Ahsoka displaying a concerned expression. Meanwhile, Talion seems to be rather intrigued by Anakin's plan.
Plo Koon: Skywalker, this is an aggressive plan. Are you sure your squadron can complete this mission?
Anakin: Let's ask them. Matchstick! (as the clone in question and two others turn to the Jedi) You think our boys can pull it off?
Matchstick: Yes, sir! There hasn't been a mission Shadow Squadron couldn't complete.
Clone 2: That's right. Minimal casualties, maximum effectiveness. That's us.
Plo Koon: (nods slightly) I admire your confidence, pilot. Even so, minimal casualties may be enough to prevent you from breaking Grievous' defenses.
Ahsoka: (steps forward, speaking up) Master Plo is right. With Grievous on that ship's bridge, it's bound to be well-protected.
Anakin: (smiles towards his Padawan) Don't worry, Ahsoka. We'll destroy that bridge and Grievous along with it.
Master Plo was lost in thought for a moment before he addresses Ahsoka and Talion.
Plo Koon: Master Skywalker seems to inspire great confidence in his men.
