Siege of Saleucami/Legends


 * For the Star Wars: Republic story arc, see Star Wars Republic: The Siege of Saleucami

One of the last great battles of the Clone Wars, the Battle of Saleucami (also known as the Siege of Saleucami) was fought between the Grand Army of the Republic and thousands of specially bred Morgukai clones trained for the Confederacy of Independent Systems by Anzati assassins.

The Siege
Having besieged the main city of Saleucami for five months, the Republic Army made several attempts at reaching the perimeter shield generator, so it could be deactivated and subject the underground clone factories to orbital bombardement.

Establishing strongholds on the rim of the caldera, the armies were subjected to a massive attack by Confederate forces. This was but a diversion, as the real target was Jedi General Oppo Rancisis, who conducted his forces with the help of battle meditation and was thus a primary factor in their successes.

Sending Anzati assassins to kill him, Sora Bulq ended his threat, as Rancisis let his guard down after killing all the Anzati, thus enabling Bulq to stab him from behind. Following his death, the double-agent Quinlan Vos, his second-in-command at the time, took over his role. As the final battle raged, the Republic successfully destroyed an orbital-range ion cannon which had long held the Republic warships from supporting any ground assaults. With the route to the power generator cleared, Republic forces moved in and a team of Jedi infiltrators successfully blew it up.

While the siege and battle had lasted for months, Jedi Master Tholme had been busy subverting the Separatist cloning efforts by sabotaging facilities and destroying unfinished clones. At the climax of the battle, both he and General Secura helped his former student, Master Vos, escape the cluthes of the Dark Side and end the terror wrought by Sora Bulq. Vos killed the Dark Jedi and escaped with his collegues, just as the Separatist headquarters was razed by Republic orbital bombardement.

With the clone facilities destroyed and the Confederate dominance of the planet ended, the main battle was over.

Mopping Up


After the end of hostilities, most of the Jedi Generals moved on to other battlegrounds, leaving the remaining Separatist forces to be scoured from the planet by Stass Allie.

During the final days of the Clone Wars, Allie was in command of a small force of clone troopers, led by Clone Commander Neyo, which had stayed behind following the Republic's recent victory on the world. The desert plains were strewn with battle debris, and carrion birds feasted on the fallen bodies of clone troopers.

Order 66
When Order 66 was enacted, the command identified Stass Allie as an enemy of the Republic. Carrying out the order, Neyo hit the brakes his speeder bike, falling in behind the Jedi. He and his wingman opened fire with their speeder-mounted laser cannons, killing Stass Allie and destroying her speeder bike.
