Battle of Muunilinst

The Battle of Muunilinst was a battle that took place four months after the Battle of Geonosis.

The Battle
The battle was arranged in a meeting between Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Yoda and Chancellor Palpatine. Anakin and Obi-Wan were enlisted by Palpatine to lead an assault on Muunilinst, home of the Intergalactic Banking Clan. The Intergalactic Banking Clan was a heavy monetary and battle droid contributor to the Separatists.

The Republic fleet (consisting of about a dozen Acclamator-I class cruisers) led by Anakin and Obi-Wan, encountered resistance as it entered the orbit of the planet Muunilinst. The Republic's attack gunships managed to land on the planet, where they encountered the Droid Army of the Separatists. ARC troopers of Muunilinst 10 were deployed on a special mission within the city of Harnaidan, but their ship was shot down behind enemy lines.

The ARC troopers led by Captain Fordo, who had cut off from their original drop zone, made their way to an enemy command center. Along the way, they faced off against the Droid Army in this urban battleground.

The Republic's initial success panicked San Hill, the CIS commander. The CIS army's fortunes were improved when Count Dooku's bounty hunter, Durge, arrived on Muunilinst with reinforcements. Durge led a band of IG lancer droids toward the heart of the Republic's forces, causing huge casualties in the Republic ranks and destroying nearly all the SPHA-M walkers. General Kenobi led a team of Lancer troopers out to meet Durge's forces. After defeating Durge, he proceeded to join the ARC troopers. Meanwhile, Voolvif Monn and the Third Army battled through the Droid Army in Harnaidan.

Obi-Wan and the ARC troopers raided the InterGalactic Banking Clan's Command Center, taking San Hill into custody, which broke the CIS army.

Anakin Skywalker was leading the clone army in a fierce space battle above Muunilinst when a mysterious ship engaged him. When the pilot, a mysterious Force-sensitive protege of Dooku called Asajj Ventress, jumped into hyperspace, the impetuous young Jedi followed, disobeying a direct order from Obi-Wan.

Aftermath
The Republic won the battle, San Hill was captured, and Anakin tracked Asajj Ventress down to the fourth moon of Yavin. There, Ventress killed the clone troopers accompanying Skywalker and destroyed his ship. Anakin and Ventress engaged in a lightsaber duel through the jungles and on top of the Massassi temple. In the end, Ventress was defeated, though not killed.
