The Mission to Ord Mantell was a mission undertaken by Republic commandos of the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars.

[edit] The mission

The mission's objective was to obtain an artifact which was to be delivered to Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. An ARC trooper planned the battle, and the assault force consisted of eight Republic Commandos divided into Blue Squad and White Squad. The artifact was, at the time, in the hands of Trandoshan bounty hunters en-route to meet a Separatist contact.

[edit] Ambush

At midday on Ord Mantell, the Republic Commandos set up in rooftop positions on nearby buildings in order to ambush the bounty hunters. The Trandoshans arrived in three speeders, each carrying three of the reptilian hunters. The leader of the Trandoshans was riding in the second speeder and was identified as the carrier of the package. The clones on the rooftops aimed and shot down the first speeder. One of the commandos identified himself and ordered the bounty hunters to hand over the object, but was quickly gunned down. Another one of the speeders was quickly destroyed, but the third, containing the Trandoshan leader, escaped to a nearby industrial park.

The commandos tracked the remaining bounty hunters through the complex, and engaged the last few Trandoshans, who were being assisted by battle droids. The speeder pilot was shot down easily. The leader of the commandos thew a bomb that electrified the droids. They went into the room and finished the droids. They breached another door. The room inside contained the Trandoshands. The Green Weapon Commando was shot down by a one-eyed Trandoshan. He was then shot down by another commando. RC-1013 threw a bomb to a Trandoshan with glasses.

The leader Trandoshan appeared and shot down the Blue Weapon Commando. RC-1013 attacked the Trandoshan and killed him. RC-1013 then took the package and left the four bodies on the ground.
