Summary
| Final mission in the liberation of Ryloth campaign. On the march to liberate Lessu, General Windu and Commander Ponds' forces came under attack by a group of AATs while exposed on a cliffside. The droids forced the Republic forces to halt briefly, but were overtaken by Windu's Lightning Squadron. Windu lost 32 men in the attack, including command crews of three walkers. Windu attended a hologram conference with Chancellor Palpatine, Senator Orn Free Taa of Ryloth, Grand Master Yoda, and Admiral Yularen. Anakin Skywalker also briefly joined, informing the group that his forces had the remains of the Separatist fleet in retreat. Windu lamented that his forces would be unable to capture Ryloth without reinforcements, leading him to seek out and recruit the resistance fighters led by Cham Syndulla. Palpatine and Taa warned Windu that Syndulla was a political radical and untrustworthy. Yularen reported that there were no Republic reinforcements available, wherein Windu insisted they could not win without Syndulla's help.In Lessu, Tambor and his tactical droid TA-175 observed as Windu and his forces moved towards Lessu. Despite TA-175's suggestion that they prepare for evacuation, Tambor refused, knowing full well that Windu lacked the troops to take Lessu. Tambor ordered his forces inside the city and to secure the bridge. Dooku learned from TA-175 of Tambor's "pitiful job" of protecting the Separatists' investment on Ryloth, though Tambor insisted that the droid exaggerated as he had not yet been defeated. Recognizing that Tambor was no match for Windu, Dooku ordered him to retreat with what valuables could be taken and to destroy everything else on Ryloth as a message demonstrating "the cost of a Republic victory". TA-175 prepared Hyena bombers for a fire-bombing campaign and Tambor's shuttle for evacuation. Tambor still refused to leave, sending the bombers to destroy every village within range. Ponds noticed how they destroyed the villages after the droids pulled out of them. The bombers completely incinerated at least two of Ryloth's villages. | ||
