Battle of Rhen Var (disambiguation)

The Battle of Rhen Var occured shortly after the Battle of Geonosis. Here Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker led the resistance effort to keep the Separatist forces from driving the Republic from the planet. The Republic presence there was overwhelmed and was forced into retreat. During the battle, Anakin piloted an LAAT Fighter and rescued a small Jedi detachment from an outpost located remotely from the Republic Base.

Months later, as the Separatists' Dark Reaper project was unfolding, Anakin and Obi-Wan returned to the planet with a much larger force and new types of strike mech walkers to drive off the Separatist force that had established a base there from which they were conducting a search for the Reaper. During the height of the battle, Anakin uncovered the tomb of Ulic Qel-Droma, an ancient and powerful Jedi Knight turned Sith Lord. When he came to the tomb the spirit of Ulic Qel-Droma appeared and shared with Anakin how he had found a way to resist the sinister power of the Dark Reaper, which would later lead to the weapon's demise.
