Bao-Dur was running a diagnostics on the secret weapon hidden on the planet's surface. He wanted to make sure it was function for when the time was right.

Malachor V was a rocky and arid planet, one of mountain ranges, canyons, caverns, few rivers and few settlements. Few things lived on this planet, but during the Great Sith War it was one of the Sith controlled planets. After the war it was left to its own devices, but it was still considered Republic space. Because it had few settlements the Supreme Commander chose it to set up his trap, so there wouldn't be civilians caught in the crossfire.

On the deck of his Hammerhead-class cruiser, the Supreme Commander and his strikeforce waited on the bridge.

With Ben was his close friend Alek along with a collection of other Jedi, including Rossnath Grili and Murr Chabat.

Ben's plan was quite simple, he left ground forces on the planet with his secret weapon and leaked the information to the Mandalorians through the Hutt Cartel that only a part of the 3rd Support Fleet was guarding the planet. No doubt a vulnerable secret weapon would prove a enticing target for the Mandalorians, especially since the system was considered taboo to the Mandalorians. If not for a military reason, they would strike out of spite.

However Ben had two full fleets in hidding elsewhere in the system. The Malachor system had numerous anomalies in orbit around its sun. Mass spacial shadows covered the system so the Republic ships could easily avoid detection by enemy long-ranged scanners.

"The damned barbarians won't know what hit them." Rossnath said with a smirk as he looked at the hologram of the system, detailing all the Republic ships. "This system is perfect for an ambush."

Alek approached his friend. "Do you think they took the bait?"

Ben nodded. "I have faith that they did, we need only wait."
