Battle of Rishi (Clone Wars)

The Battle of Rishi was a conflict during the Clone Wars. It was fought by the Galactic Republic an the Rishi and the Geonosians.

Prelude
Around 22 BBY during the Clone Wars, in order to get the Exonium needed for sonic weapons, the Confederacy of Independent Systems invaded the planet Rishi and captured its Exonium mines. In response, the Galactic Republic Republic sent a taskforce of clone trooper to repel the Separatists and protect the native Rishii. However, since no Jedi General was able to lead the clones and the elite Geonosian warriors heavily entrenched in the mines, the clones were then ordered not to attempt any kind of attack until a Jedi arrived.

The battle
However, desperate to reclaim the Exonium&mdash;which Rishii used to prepare food&mdash;Chieftain Gwarrk ordered the Green Company to attack. During the attack, however, Jedi Master Kit Fisto finally arrived and recalled the clones.
