First appearance: The Clone Wars (TV Series)
	Happened during: Second Battle of Geonosis
	Relations: Geonosis

The Republic's capital ships descended upon Geonosis and began to disgorge squadrons of BTL-B Y-wing starfighters, LAAT/i gunships, and LAAT carriers ferrying All Terrain Tactical Enforcers to the surface in heavy numbers. While Clone Captain Breaker and a Jedi Knight led the Y-wing starfighter squadrons in repelling groups of Geonosian Nantex-class starfighters, Kenobi's assault force was the first to take flight, with Kenobi leading the way in his gunship. Kenobi and his gunships were met with heavy resistance from Geonosian J-1 semi-autonomous proton cannons and LR1K sonic cannon emplacements below, as well as the Nantex-class starfighters from above, but they were able to push through with covering fire from the Republic Y-wing starfighters, which also targeted the Separatist gunners on the ground. With Kenobi's forces underway, Skywalker's detachment - including Rex and Tano - departed shortly afterward, followed by the assault group led by Mundi and Jet from Yularen's flagship, the Resolute.[10][18] Once all three strike forces had launched, Yularen recalled his fighter squadrons to the Republic's command ship for new orders. The gunship carrying Skywalker, Tano, and Rex was one of the first to be shot down, but the group managed to break free from the wreckage and use the fallen craft as cover from the nearby Geonosian gunners and blaster cannons. Mundi, meanwhile, ordered Cody to land the AT-TE walkers shortly before Mundi's own gunship fell to heavy fire as well. Cody landed with his men and AT-TE walkers to be greeted by incoming Nantex-class fighters. Although Cody advised Kenobi not to land because of the danger posed by the Separatist fighters, Kenobi and his gunship were forced down when the craft was targeted by the Geonosians. The gunship hit the surface and skidded across the ground before coming to a stop, leaving only Kenobi and trooper Trapper alive. An injured Mundi and Jet pulled themselves out of the remains of their gunship, which was just one of many to have been shot down in the area. Jet reported that Kenobi's forces had been the only ones to reach the landing zone, while Skywalker's AT-TE walkers had been decimated in his ongoing firefight with the Geonosians; Jet noted that Skywalker would continue to press on to the rendezvous point to meet with Kenobi. Mundi ordered the injured men among his own special ops forces to be loaded onto the AT-TE walkers with the objective of pressing on to make for a nearby bridge and join the rest of the troops at the rendezvous site. As all of the Republic's main strike teams were dispatched to battle the Geonosians, Breaker and the Jedi Knight were tasked with another mission. They and an elite crew were to take an LAAT/i gunship behind enemy lines to destroy a key Separatist installation; in doing so, they would sever Geonosian communications in the area and help to ease Geonosian retaliation to the Republic's primary assault. The elite gunship battled through enemy droid forces - including DSD1 dwarf spider droids, Multi-Troop Transports, jetpack-equipped B2-RP battle droids, Vulture droid starfighters, Hyena-class bombers, and droid tri-fighters - before reaching and destroying the Geonosian communications facility. Elsewhere, while overseeing the battle against the Geonosians in the area alongside Skywalker and Tano, Rex contacted Cody to request reinforcements for Skywalker but found that Kenobi would be unable to give support, as Kenobi's gunship had been shot down. Left on their own, Skywalker and Tano provided cover for Rex and the rest of their troops to rush the Separatist blaster cannons. At Point Rain, meanwhile, Cody organized his LAAT/i gunships and AT-TE walkers in a circular defensive formation. In the midst of exchanging heavy fire with the attacking sonic blaster–wielding Geonosians and their Armored Assault Tanks, Cody ordered troopers Waxer and Boil to search Kenobi's gunship - which had been located five kilometers away - for survivors. The two Advanced Recon Force trooper scouts raced across the battlefield, finding and rescuing the wounded Kenobi and Trapper from the gunship's wreckage. While Waxer and Boil helped the injured Kenobi and Trapper back to the landing zone, Cody had his men and AT-TE walkers provide the group with covering fire from the advancing Separatist tanks and Flitknot speeder–mounted Geonosians. Upon his arrival, Kenobi was treated by a clone trooper medic and was updated on the situation by Cody. With his men surrounded by the Geonosians, Kenobi noted that they simply had to hold out until Skywalker and Mundi arrived for support. Mundi himself was in the process of cutting through a massive caltrop field so that his AT-TE walkers could move through the obstacles. Jet conferred with Admiral Yularen via comlink to request air support, but all of the starfighter forces were engaged in the planetary invasion elsewhere. Yularen was only able to offer his vantage point from the Resolute as a resource to locate Skywalker, whom he found pressing toward the eastern barrier - the site of the Geonosians' armored barricade. Skywalker, Tano, Rex, and their men arrived at the heavily entrenched fortress and were forced to take cover from the assailing B1 battle droids and B2 super battle droids high above. With the large amounts of incoming laser barrages, Skywalker and Tano each took a backpack filled with thermal detonators and ran toward the adjacent cliff, using grappling hooks to scale the face in order to set their charges to topple the wall. With the rest of the troops continuing to exchange fire with the battle droids, Rex joined Skywalker and Tano on the top of the barrier, helping them to sever a pair of droidekas that were soon deployed from hatches along the barrier. Once Skywalker and Tano had tossed their primed detonator–full backpacks into the hatches, they and Rex jumped off the wall shortly before it exploded. The Jedi used the Force to slow their fall and that of Rex before landing and employing the same method to hold back the rubble. With the wall destroyed, Skywalker, Tano, and their forces pressed toward Point Rain. Meanwhile, Mundi split up his own troops, sending his AT-TE walkers to take a longer route to the rendezvous point, while he took a squad to examine a shortcut through a clifftop cave. There, Mundi and his men were besieged by groups of winged Geonosian warriors who depleted the clones' numbers by attacking them and carrying them into the grotto's depths. Although his men sustained heavy casualties and losses from the Geonosians, Mundi was able to cut through the cave. At the other side, Mundi had his clone flame troopers fire their flamethrowers at the Geonosians, killing most of them and unblocking the path out of the cave. Read more...
