"I wonder how many they'll send. We've got so much firepower in here, these walls are ray-shielded. They can't take this fort. It'll probably be, uh, fifty Jedi. They'll need at least that many. Huh, maybe a hundred Jedi! They'll never take this base with less. Ha, they'll need an army of Jedi!"

The Battle of Bomis Koori IV was a battle that took place on Bomis Koori IV, the headquarters of Separatist Koorivar forces fighting on the planet's surrounding worlds of the Clone Wars.

Anticipating a massive Jedi force storming on his fortresses, Koorivar General Oro Dassyne built up a gigantic network of defensive guns, covering much of the structure facing the open plains, as well as establishing a ray shield around these defenses. He envisioned a total slaughter of any Jedi forces advancing on the fortress-city.

[edit] The battle

"I have a visual."
"Jedi?"
"I think so."
"How many? A thousand?"
"No."
"Eighty?"
"No, sir."
"What, fifty?"
"Less."
"Forty? Come on, how many?"
"Two."
"What!? Gimme those!"

Republic forces attack.

Despite all preparations, the General was surprised to find that two Jedi Knights, leading a small army of clone troopers, had gotten past his defense-network. Prior to their attack, Jedi Knights Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker had infiltrated the fortress and disabled the defensive shield, leaving the Separatist forces vulnerable to both starfighter strikes and orbital bombardment.

As the Jedi destroyed the General's forces, Venator-class Star Destroyers and ARC-170 starfighters devastated Dassyne's defensive guns, shattering his vision of a prolonged engagement—and him.
