Battle of Lianna

The Battle of Lianna was a battle fought on Lianna during the Clone Wars. Victory on Lianna cost Jedi Master Cei Vookto his life.

When the call came for Jedi Knights and Masters to take command of elements of the Republic Army, Master Vookto returned immediately from his mission in the Outer Rim to become a Jedi General. He led his clone troopers into combat on Lianna, to protect a Sienar Fleet Systems starfighter facility from invading Separatist forces. With Raith Sienar's designers working on new starfighters for the Republic Navy, it was not a planet the Republic could afford to lose.

The battle raged across Lianna, with losses on both sides. Leading the campaign, Master Vookto used his powers of elemental summoning to cleanse the planet with twin pillars of water and fire. The toll this took on Cei Vookto cost him his life.

With victory assured, and the Sienar facility safe, a funeral was held for the fallen Master Vookto. He was cremated in a funeral temple on Lianna, and the remnants of his forces were handed over to Ki-Adi-Mundi.
