"Blasters. I'm familiar with those. And as for cloaking devices, I have my ways to get around them. I wouldn't need to see a Fallen soldier to know it's there, what it's doing, and react." Ben's pretty sure that Force-sensitives don't exist in the Fallen home universe, so their cloaking devices wouldn't be designed with his skillset in mind. "I agree there are almost certainly things in their base they don't want you to know. Their chain of command, construction work, the locations of those servitors. Things we could use against them. I used to be a warlord myself, so let's just say I know the type."
Not a one-for-one, but it's a term that Saint may recognize. Ben's trying to put himself in Pelsor's shoes at this point. Her organization, if it can be called one, is small, scrappy, and desperate, very different from the First Order. In some ways the Fallen are underdogs against the better-armed and organized Guardians. But there are basic rules that apply to aggressive groups like this. He speaks slowly.
"If I was the Baroness, I wouldn't want to fight you head-on. You could probably wipe out her Fallen if you Guardians got together and made a big enough push, even without outside help. That's why we're being used to stop you from getting a burst of courage. Pelsor's smart. She wants to survive more than she wants to fight you. So she's playing defensively for now. Using the truce to appease us and restrain you." Ben grudgingly respects Pelsor's tactical skill and ability to improvise. "But it's not a toothless threat, either. While I wouldn't say it's her goal, I think she'd follow through with attacking the Nexus as a punishment if you pushed her. She wouldn't win, but she'd do as much damage as she could first."
