Alarmed at the presentation they’ve just witnessed, the ASSEMBLY buzzes with quiet conversation. The HOLOGRAPHIC DISPLAY is now an overview of the Imperial operations on Kessel, the surrounding terrain, and the protecting deflector shield. ADMIRAL ACKBAR moves center stage.
ACKBAR: The cruisers will come out of hyperspace close to the Kessel system. The presence of our fleet above the planet will act as a distraction, while a small squadron of fighters will fly down and attempt to knock out the factory. We will have the element of surprise in our favor, but time is of the essence. General Madine?
GENERAL MADINE steps forward and points to the factory.
MADINE: Time is of the essence. The Imperial facilities are located here, in this valley. As you can see, there is a shield several kilometers in diameter protecting the entire area from bombardment and aerial assault. This impenetrable barrier is generated by hidden projector modules that are embedded in the ground at regular intervals around the perimeter. However, as General Solo discovered, there is a vulnerability - a small point of entry right here...
MADINE points to the area where the shield and the canyon meet.
MADINE: (cont.) ...there is an unshielded area in the bottom of this narrow canyon big enough for a squadron of fighters to pass through.
The assembly begins to mumble among themselves.
