Re: Slivers in Coruscant .
The thousand or so Jedi in Coruscant alone could probably deal with the threat if it was found soon enough.
And then there are the billions of clone troopers that are just waiting in Kamino; plus the trillions of droids.
Even if Coruscant was overrun before they could muster their troops; that's as far as the Slivers could get. A good amount of stardestroyer-like ships can reduce a city-planet to rubble in short order.
Any attempt to leave through starship would be easily neutralized via other star ships or throwing the mass of clone troopers/droids at the isolated 'mini-hives' until they are all wiped out.
Re: Slivers in Coruscant .
Yeah, Coruscant is not the best choice. Not in that period at least.
Make the same contest somewhere more crucial to the jedi\sith, like a sanctuary planet, like ossus or ilum or dantooine. They couldn't wipe them out from above for fear of destroying the artifacts and they must act quickly to deal with the threat, lest they want the planet to be swarming with insectoids. I doubt the sith would jus ally with the jedi. They'd probably just disguise as jedis, and join forces with them, while trying to get some more insight on who's who i the temple and if they can save a specimen of sliver for wiser use. Just change your LS crystal and get a blade which is not red, and get a bathing robe, and you're jedi 110%....
