Sassk chuckled at the HEX's attempt at attacking the planet. Geonosis' sentient inhabitants were stationed away in massive underground hives, with only tall spires to provide a way out. These spires were shielded as well, and the biological missiles had no effect. Of course, most everything on the planet was barren, leaving nothing for the toxin to take effect on.
Back in space, meanwhile, the Vengeance fired again, its Superlaser slamming into the Intimidator. Repeating the process that had crippled the Reaper, it fired a second time, tracing the green beam across the ship's wide hull, cutting huge rifts and following it up with torpedoes and laserfire, which melted through decks like tissue paper. The rest of the fleet let the Vengeance take care of the flagship, while they focused on the smaller ships, Brawlers obliterating anything smaller than them in only a few seconds. Buzz Droids, yet again, attacked the Torpedo Spheres, disabling them and rendering them useless. More nukes detonated in the asteroid belt, taking out ships farther away from Sassk's fleet and completely vaporizing most of the TIE squadrons. Anything else that survived was shot down by accurate point-defense lasers that took out a TIE with every shot. The planetary turbolasers and missile launchers fired, taking out many HEX ships, and kept going, slamming into some of the larger ships in the Imperial fleet. "Surely this is a joke!" laughed Sassk. "They don't even know anything about Geonosis!"
"Heroes have morals. Villains have work ethic."
