Not so.. there was one guy who did it but the sith didnt like him much.. think these were his gems actually

Well you listen here... you go blow yourself up with an experamental lightsaber and don't expect me to mourn for you!

Gah stop moaning woman!

*Focuses on the crystal then kicks a switch on the kiln which switches it off*

Well if thats the way you feel Ambasador,

*bows smartly takes a step backwards then turns before leaving the room*

*Ignores her and focuses all his anger and hatred in to the three crystals as they begin to form. The razor edge crystal become with bitterness and rage and they turn black yet with a deep red glow*

*Ma'rol pulls a glove on and removes the crystals. Places two into his sabre and take the other too anoon*

*Ma'rol enters and the castellans stand to attention*

Right we've got two weeks before we need to have one million men trained and ready to use swords like you lot can.. take a thousand each day and train them. Have them train others and so on. You should be able to get through 500,000 in a few days. If we had longer you'd have it but we simply dont. Kaminos on 24 hours production at the moment and the first 500,000 grunts should be done within a week. Questions

CASTELLAN: Only 700,000? Surely more?

Your right theres more. roughly 200,000 terror troops will be deployed before the battle begins and buried in Hoths surface. Im having another 100,000 mounted on swoop bikes and gunships to punch through the lines and break them up. Thats all surplus though. Theres still the million strong force under neath us that the republic dont know about. If all else fails they'll fight there way to Bespin or Arras and prepare it for a last stand. You have your orders, be ready when the troops arrive

CASTELLAN: What about us? In the battle i mean

It depends.. that whole isnt being punched for no reason. In theory we should be riding through it but im unsure as to whether the dewbacks could survive the cold.. Im going up to the Hammerhead to train the honor guard.. if need be we'll attack from drop ships and gun ships.. either way they wont be ready for the close quarter fighting. And thats the only place where we can beat them

CASTELLANS: But Hoth has no cover.. with just sabres we'd be gunned down before we got to there lines never mind punched a hole

Leave that detail to me castellan..

*Ma'rol leaves*

CASTELLAN: What about us? In the battle i mean

We will be following the swoop bikes in.. im going up to the Hammerhead to train the Honor guard up to your status. We havent got time to get the armour though so they'll have to just make do. We'll break the lines, the infantry push up and join us. If they move how i think they will then we should be able to pin them down. Good luck, we need it

*Ma'rol Leaves*

*The half a million clones spread out into various training rooms lead by a castellan each*

*They await supplies*

*Od'sseus summons the castellans to him and they gather in the main room*

O: My father is dead.. grab your gear... we go to collect the corpse

*They all armour up, full robes and armour. Od'sseus paints his armour in black and dons a hooded robe over the heavy armour. They march off to the landing pads*

*The castellans enter and lay ma'rols body down. The castellans surround it and Ch'kov runs off with Ma'rols head to put it in statis*

*Od'sseus enters then stops. He thinks for a second, then soundlessly Ma'rols sabre flies to his hand and he runs off to Ma'rols chambers. Two castellans follow*

*Od'sseus re-enters, goes over to the comms, writes a message, then retires to a back room*

*Od'sseus gets up and runs to ma'rols quarters*
