- "The siege goes well. With our continued energy barrage, their shields should be down in three months."
"But we've been here a month, already."
"Yes, sir. We're right on schedule." - ―Cmdr. Cody and Obi-Wan Kenobi[src]
This battle on an unidentified planet was fought between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems near the end of the Clone Wars.
[edit] The battle
- "So, I assume the plan is to crawl through the sewer, work our way to the shield generator, fight our way through the defenses, blow up the generator, knocking out the shield and all our troops swarm in and overwhelm the enemy."
"Yup, let's go!" - ―Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker[src]
Generals Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker were in command of a force of clone troopers led by Commander Cody. The Republic forces were entrenched for a campaign expected to last for months.
One month into the siege, Commander Cody informed General Kenobi that under their constant bombardment of the city, the enemy shields would be overwhelmed in another 3 months, right on schedule. Anakin Skywalker arrived with lunch, consisting of insects and worms. When asked where he obtained the "meal," Anakin replied that it had come from the enemy camp after he discovered an underground entrance into the city through the sewers.
While their clone troopers continued their bombardment of the shields, the two Jedi made their way through the sewers and into the under levels of the city. From there they made their way to the shield generator chamber and succeeded in destroying the generator which allowed the Republic forces to enter the city and obtain victory over the Separatist forces.
[edit] Aftermath
- "Typical, the weather clears as soon as we're leaving."
- ―Obi-Wan Kenobi[src]
After leaving their clone troops to continue the battle, Anakin and Obi-Wan received a holonet transmission from Mace Windu and Supreme Chancellor Palpatine informing them of General Grievous's frequent trips to the planet Nelvaan. The two Jedi were dispatched to ascertain what interest the Separatists had in the Outer Rim world.
