Battle of Metalorn (Clone Wars)

"Uh, Master Hett! I heard that you were on the front lines on Metalorn&hellip;"

- Anakin Skywalker

The Battle of Metalorn was a battle fought during the Clone Wars. The Confederacy of Independent Systems attempted to re-take Metalorn, but the droid forces were repulsed by elements of the Grand Army of the Republic led by A'Sharad Hett and his Padawan, Bhat Jul over a week after the culmination of the Second Battle of Jabiim. Two Lucrehulk Class Battleships orbited over the planet, and the droids sent numerous dropships to the attack. However, the clones had dug trenches to defend their position. Their AA cannons prevented the CIS from a starfighter attack. Bazooka troopers in the front lines provided good anti tank fire, and their tank advance was critically destroyed. The CIS believed their attack was good, so they sent their entire force to the Republic's dug-in positions. The attack was a failure, and the clones capitalized. The CIS retreated, and the Republic drove them back to their dropships. A Venator Star Destroyer and two Acclaimator Star Destroyers, led by Bhat Jul severely crippled their blockade and the Separatist offensive was foiled.
