Windu whirls through the soldiers, slamming into one of the soldiers' staffs with the full force of his blade to send them flying across the room, jumping over another staff to kick its wielder away while deflecting another strike behind his back, lifting another fighter with the Force and throwing them through a line of three others...

Ten seconds should be enough for him to take out the entire group. He hasn't killed anyone, but there may be two or three hands separated from their owners.

Lom Pyke is now fully ready to surrender! For real this time!

Outside, his soldiers are mostly giving up too - not necessarily surrendering, they don't want to be arrested or anything, but trying to escape to their ships.

These ships contain several angry Wookiees!

And also very few working engines!  They seem to have been exploded recently!

Yes, Lom Pyke, you may surrender now.

Yay! They won! Daultay will get higher status and possibly pay even though he did approximately nothing!

Kolar directs the Wookiees and droids to round up pretty much all of the Pykes, and then reports back to Kina and the others. "We seem to have everything under control. Do we have anything else we need to get done, or do we just head back to Coruscant with the prisoners?"

"We are not taking all the prisoners back to Coruscant, no.

"We aren't taking all of them.

"We are certainly taking Lom Pyke, and high officers of the Syndicate, to face justice.  Those who organized, those who participated, in the Pyke Syndicate's atrocities.

"But a lot of these people have plausibly only done local crime, and they should face local justice, if so.  It would be disproportionate and high-handed to haul away to Coruscant's high court someone who does the Pykes' grocery runs simply because they're a Pyke.  Certainly they should face justice, but it must be proportionate to their crimes.

"Futthermore, taking so many people from the area will only make the remainder more desperate, and likely breed resentment.  There's a reason the Syndicate was able to operate so brazenly here in the first place, and it needs fixing.

"Dofine!

"You are in charge of finding community service opportunities, and securing the possibility of gainful employment for the resulting ex-gangsters.  Your performance will be measured.

"You should coordinate with the local government to arrange work opportunities, and liaise with other successful operations to mix the convict populations, to avoid keeping too many gang members in their previous centers of power; we're avoiding revolving-door cells."

She can't order him around!

GLARE.

He will get to work!

"All right, then. Master Kolar, stay and help supervise this process, along with as many soldiers as are needed."

As most of the remaining forces return to their ships, with a few prisoners in tow, Windu mentions to Kina that they're finally prepared to launch an attack on the Hutts - that is to say, investigation of the Hutts, which will only involve violence in the case that the Hutts turn out to have been continuing their practices of slavery and other major crimes.

They're going to simultaneously launch missions to each of the central bases of the Hutt Clan leaders - Nal Hutta, Nar Shaddaa, Teth... and, of course, Tatooine. Windu doubts Kina wants to return to Tatooine, but they could use her experience with the planet.

"If it's to finally stand up to the Hutts?  I'll go there gladly, Master Windu."

Windu nods, and they board the ship.

Kina spends some time in hyperspace in an airtight shield bubble, thinking about what went right and what went wrong, especially once the documentation of everything's come in.

The Good:

- Using Jedi as scouts, saboteurs, and deep strike forces worked very well.

- Gungan energy shields are very effective.

- She has experienced live combat before going into the most emotionally stressful possible place to experience live combat, avoiding those stressors compounding.

- Quite a lot of data was recovered from the Syndicate's computers, and copied to multiple redundant drives to be stored in various secure places; it'll be hard for all of them to disappear if somebody's invested in losing it.

The Bad:

- She has no idea why the best tactician in the room was her.  Surely the Republic has somebody.

- The battle droids...were not actually adaptable whatsoever.

- Local intelligence was a suns-blinded nil.   There were basically only building holocaps, and they were lucky to have even those.

- Translation issues could have crippled this mission from the start if it weren't for C3PO, and most teams won't have a souped-up protocol droid available.

- What the kriff was Daultay Dofine doing there, exactly?  They're very much implicated in the Naboo debacle!  What's the CIS leadership doing?

-- Now that she thinks about it, it's very possible that Dooku left the Trade Federation higher ups in place to give him leverage over them; he'd pull that trick.  She would if she was him, honestly, though she isn't.

- Why did she lead from the front?  No, the correct question is why didn't she consider leading from the back at all, even though the decision would've been obvious had she actually made it?

- Unilaterally declaring Dofine was going to do the diversion program was a stupid move that will likely breed resentment if it doesn't work out profitably.  Now, she's pretty confident it will, so this isn't a disaster, but she could've sold it much better than she did.  She needs to work on being polite even when exhausted and dealing with ambitious potential-backstabbers.  Perhaps especially then; backstabbers stab you more often if they sense weakness.

Yeah... Windu backed her up on Dofine, but in retrospect, that might not have been a good idea. Putting someone who really should have been put in prison but got out due to some legal tricks in charge of rehabilitating criminals in a situation where they're specifically trying to watch out for potential corruption... might not have been the greatest idea in the world?

Honestly, she thinks that that particular bomb comes pre-defused specifically because of Dofine's precarious reputation.  They can spin it as the Trade Federation's public service, at which point Dofine's ambition and appearance-consciousness would leave them no choice but to actually live up to the marketing.  Also, does Master Windu know anyone else who actually has management skills they could ask?

Well, the Council should be able to monitor that, and hopefully stop anything from going too wrong.

Once they've returned to Coruscant, and deposited the Pyke leaders for interrogation and trials, they can prepare their army and head back to Tatooine!
