Yet more evidence of large amounts of cut content as a result of tragic real world events.
Apparently the island turrets were going to be a more crucial part of the mission. There were even going to be repair crews that could repair the turrets if they got destroyed.
The only threats in this level are Sabaoth Fighters, Hex Bombers, Hex Missiles, and Hex Deployers. These lines suggest that Droid Starfighters and HAGs also were part of the mission. Additionally, Sol Sixxa would have landed speeder bikes to help take out the tanks.
At the end of the mission, Loreli Ro makes a comment that doesn't make sense in context - "The evacuation can proceed safely now, thank you". Evacuation was never part of this mission, however these cut lines show that protecting evacuation transport ships was an objective. Similar to the cut Suicide Droids, this phase and the Hex missiles' destructive ability were also cut due to the September 11th terrorist attack. Parts of this old mission structure still exist in the mission script, but in a disabled state, and unfortunately most of it no longer exists.
Something to note is that one of the demos that plays if you idle on the title screen for too long involves planetary combat on a planet that looks like the one from this mission, and it involves droid fighters, Sabaoth fighters, as well as Blockade Runners which don't show up in the story at all. These were very likely going to be used for the evacuation ships.
The Sabaoth Fighter pilots had a few more lines to say.
These two lines were part of the conversation between Lieutennant Bella and a Sabaoth Fighter pilot, but got cut, making Reti's question "Should we go after them?" seem more out of place.
Adi saying that Force Lightning doesn't work on the Hex Missiles. It does, so these lines were no longer needed.
These two lines were made obsolete by this mission's ending cutscene.
