History
Edit
Antamont was a world discovered between 5,000 and 3,000 BBY by the Galactic Republic. Conquered by the Mandalorians during the Mandalorian Wars, Antamont was taken by the Empire of Darth Revan at the outbreak of the Jedi Civil War. Remaining in contested territory until the New Sith Wars, Antamont was located in space fought over by the Republic and the Brotherhood of Darkness.[2]
Taken by the Republic following the Ruusan Reformation[2], Antamont became the site of a stronghold of the Republic during the Clone Wars. In an attempt to take the farming world, the Confederacy of Independent Systems launched an attack on the world using an army of B1 battle droids and B2 grapple droids to smash the Grand Army of the Republic. The most significant event during the battle was the "awakening" experienced by a single B1 droid after it was severely damaged following the detention of a mine. Cut off from the droid control program, the droid was free to activate its self-preservation software and defect from the Separatist Droid Army. One of the Grapple droids followed the rogue droid and attempted to take it back into the army. However, after a brief skirmish, both droids toppled off of a cliff. Damaged and cut off from its control program, the Grapple droid felt fear as it began to shut down. The B1 droid offered its condolences and stood beside the wrecked machine as its cogs slowed to a halt. The lone droid walked up onto a nearby hill and sat under a solitary tree as it ran out of power. The battle that raged on the world diminished, resulting in a Republic victory, and the droid was never recovered by either army.[3]
Several years later following the world's absorption into the Galactic Empire, a pair of farmers discovered the lone droid an took it back to their farmland to repair and repurpose as a service droid. Under the Empire, the world was reorganized into the Greater Maldrood following Emperor Palpatine's death at the Battle of Endor. Admiral Treuten Teradoc established the smaller empire to rival that of Warlord Zsinj but eventually became overstretched in defending his territories from the New Republic; thus Antamont was lost to Admiral Ackbar.[2]
Conquered during the Yuuzhan Vong War, Antamont remained isolated following the victory of the Galactic Alliance against the Yuuzhan Vong. As of 137 ABY, Antamont and surrounding space had joined Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire.[2]
Behind the scenesEdit
The planet Antamont was created for the Clone Wars Adventures story Pathways, published in 2007. While originally unnamed, it was first identified in The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia and was later given coordinates in the The Essential Atlas.
