Clone Wars Chapter 5

"Chapter 5" was the fifth episode of the Star Wars: Clone Wars cartoon. It was part of Season 1/Volume 1, and aired on November 13th, 2003.

Synopsis
A voiceover from Yoda explains that the planet Mon Calamari has split between its two native species: the Mon Calamari who are loyal to the Republic, and the Quarren, who are loyal to the Separatists. The Quarren have formed a Separatist-friendly government, the Quarren Isolation League, and taken over the planet.

The voiceover is revealed to be a hologram of Yoda communicating to Jedi Master Kit Fisto on the bridge of his Acclamator cruiser. Yoda orders Kit to help the Calamari to retake their planet in the name of the Republic.

The Acclamator ships carrying Kit's army 'land' on Mon Calamari, floating on top of the world-spanning sea. The aquatic Kit leaps first into the water, with seveal divisions of Clone SCUBA troopers following behind him.

The Battle of Mon Calamari begins when the Republic forces come under attack by Manta droids, Sub Carriers, Mini-Subs, as well as Quarren and battle droid soldiers. The Republic army is reinforced by the Mon Calamari Knights.

The trouble begins for Kit when the Quarren unveil their Crab Cannon, using it to destroy several of his floating star cruisers. With the help of the Knights, as well as a use of the Force, the Cannon is first critically damaged, then pushed off the edge of a steep underwater ravine.

The tide of the battle turned in favor of the Republic, Kit flashes his Calamari allies his trademark smile.
