[edit] Prelude
Shortly after the siege of Rhen Var, the Republic had scanned some unusual activity on Raxus Prime. The Republic decided to send a strike force led by the Jedi Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi to check out the activity.
Once they arrived, Anakin and Obi-Wan went to the surface to scout the area. After they took out an enemy STAP party after a grueling chase through the wastelands, they had found an enemy excavation site and called their assault ship for reinforcements.
[edit] The battle
Anakin and Obi-Wan made an attack on some supply convoys to stall time for their strike force. Once the strike force landed, they fought a treacherous journey filled with traps and surprise attacks, with Anakin protecting a contingent of AT-TEs and Obi-Wan single-handedly clearing out a Separatist outpost. When they finally got to the excavation site, they had their beta forces waiting at the back shield for them to knock it out. Once at the main crane site they destroyed the shield generator to allow the beta forces to enter the battle field. Both strike teams attacked and destroyed the remaining defense forces and the cranes fuel lines.
As the battle was winding down, Anakin spotted Count Dooku escaping in a Hardcell transport and followed him, but Dooku and Cydon Prax together incapacitated him. Once the starship lifted off, the Confederates released their deadly assault machine, the Protodeka. The Protodeka completely decimated the strike force and only Obi-Wan survived. Obi-Wan single-handedly destroyed the war machine, but Count Dooku's ship had already left the system with Anakin and his deadly machine as the Republic's reinforcements arrived.
With Prax guarding Anikan, Dooku planed to destroy the young jedi but his master darth sidious demanded to keep him alive, for he had plans for the padawan. Dooku obeyed and sent Anakin to sidious for his own intents and perposes. But Sidious planed for a strike force to rescue Anakin; sidious allowed Anakin to escape, for the sake of sidious's plan and his identity kept in safe. Later Palpatine had another "meeting" with the young jedi, stregnthening Anakins suspitions about the jedi.
