The streets of Theed have become a war zone. Royal Security Force members
have appeared as if out of nowhere to attack the battle droids. In response, the battle
droids seem to have redoubled their efforts, attacking everything they see on sight.
You and your friends have been trying to stay out of trouble, but
its getting harder and harder to find a safe haven. After running from patrol after
patrol of battle droids, you turn a corner and find yourselves back in the main plaza. The
palace looms ahead, but your attention immediately shifts to the action in the street.
A terrible droid, larger than any youve seen so far, walks toward
the palace. Then you notice that it isnt an ordinary droid. Its a Trade
Federation starfighter droid, walking along the ground on wings that have rotated to
become legs! It fires mighty bursts from its twin blaster cannons, reducing whatever it
hits to slag.
The starfighter droid, accompanied by four battle droids, strides
purposely toward the palace, firing at unarmed citizens along the way. Two palace guards
work desperately to protect a group of civilians, but they dont have enough
firepower to take on the battle droids by themselves.
