Considering most of Geonosis was barren wasteland, the orbital attack was pointless. Sassk, however, started to get rather frustrated. Another planetary attack was launched, slamming into the Imperial fleet with devastating affect. "Alright, launch them now!" the Trandoshan barked.
Suddenly, some of the asteroids seemed to move, jets opened from them and they rocketed towards the Imperial ships in every direction. Before they even got close, each one disappeared in a gigantic, blinding white flash. As the disguised nukes detonated, they immolated some ships completely, as well as disable most of the ships' shields from the EMP affect. The explosions vaporized the probes and many of the Torpedo Spheres as well. They also made a momentary gap in the asteroid field, and the fleet finally opened fire, shredding many of the vulnerable Imperial ships in seconds. This was closely followed by another planetary attack, which crippled the first wave even more thoroughly. Of course, Sassk didn't grin in triumph just yet. If he had learned anything about the Empire, it was that they never sent every ship in at once. He still had some surprises for the rest of the fleet, should they be foolish enough to try and attack again.
As the shuttle lifted off, Grievous said, "Exactly what ships are you sending to assist me, General?"
