Question: Why would someone launch a low impact chemical payload and then allow themselves to be captured? Also what damage did the laser fire do?
Speculation:
Incompetency on many levels OR
Patsies for another group OR
Diversion
Now the Khanid attack is more interesting, as it directly affects a military target. Destroying horses (a ceremonial target) is illogical, but wiping out clone stocks for an elite unit…
Perhaps the attack on the stables is to establish a red herring, a “horse terrorist cell”.
Thru out history, this tactic has been used to justify wars. You send some peeps dressed as the enemy, to attack your forces. After some exchange of fire you withdraw leaving some bodies behind that clearly belong to your enemy.
And presto you are now justified to attack your enemy, cause they attacked you. So now it’s in defence that your armed forces are entering the lands of your enemy.
I’d say this is clearly such an attempt to blame Matari, amarri will cry “outrage over such an unprovoked attack by terrorists” . Anyone whom falls for this is clearly lacking critical thought process, but then again. This is amarri we are talking about…
