Count Dooku, I am pleased to tell you that we have secured a number of Bespin refinery platforms and isolated the majority of the Clone Troopers to Cloud City. While we are still taking out isolated pockets of Republic loyalists throughout areas of our control, the Republic threat is negligible. We have also apprehended the saboteurs; it appears to be a group of Duros who have been posing as Trade Federation Engineers. We are working on extracting their secrets.

We did have difficulty getting our own fighters down to the planet, with Republic defensive emplacements damaging them during atmospheric descent. Our engineering droids were able to make last-minute repairs, but at first the battle went somewhat poorly; our initial thrust into the largest of the platforms progressed well, but clone gunships were able to move behind our lines and seize platforms behind us.

Luckily, we were able to slice into some Republic protocols during their retreat from Rhen Var, and some of our droid pilots were able break the security locks on a squadron of V-Wings found at a botched Republic landing zone. While our droid pilots could easily identify these vehicles as compatriots, the Clone pilots were confused by their own ships being used against them, and we soon found the battle turned in our favor.

Bespin is not under our complete control yet, but it would take an outside assault by Republic forces, or significant luck on the part of the Cloud City Holdouts, to remove our grasp. I await the orders of yourself or the council on how to proceed further!
