Battle of unidentified planet (shielded city)

"The siege goes well. With our continued barrage, their shield should be down in three months.''" "But we've been here a month already." "''Yes, sir. We're right on schedule."

- Commander Cody and Obi-Wan Kenobi

This battle was fought on an unidentified planet between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. Jedi Generals Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker led a force of clone troopers in an extended campaign on an unknown planet against the droid army of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, who were safely entrenched in a city protected by an energy shield. Using an underground tunnel, Skywalker and Kenobi were able to infiltrate the city and destroy the shield generator. Once the shield was down, Commander CC-2224, known as Cody, led the assault as clone troopers swarmed the city, leading to a Republic victory.

The battle
"So, I assume the plan is to crawl through the sewer, work our way to the shield generator, fight our way through the defenses, blow up the generator, knocking out the shield and all our troops swarm in and overwhelm the enemy.''" "''Yup, let's go!"

- Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker

High General Obi-Wan Kenobi and General Anakin Skywalker were in command of a force of clone troopers led by Commander Cody on an unidentified rainy planet in 19 BBY. The Republic forces were entrenched for a campaign expected to last for months, while their turbolaser bombardment wore down the energy shield covering a Separatist-held city.

One month into the siege, as Kenobi was resting in a ramshackle shelter, Commander Cody descended to the entrance using a jetpack and informed the general that under their continued bombardment of the city, the enemy shields would be overwhelmed in another three months. Kenobi was less than enthusiastic with the report, stating they had already been there a month. Unfazed, Cody replied that they were right on schedule. After Cody departed, Skywalker arrived with lunch, consisting of insects and worms. When asked where he obtained the "meal," Skywalker answered that he had obtained it from the enemy camp after discovering an underground entrance into the city, running beneath the protective shield through the sewers.

While their clone troopers continued their bombardment of the shield above ground, the two Jedi made their way through the sewers and into the underground levels of the city. From there, they made their way to the shield generator chamber and succeeded in destroying the generator with the use of explosives. With the shield down, Skywalker and Kenobi exited the city, leaving Commander Cody to lead a full scale attack. Clone jet troopers and troopers on All Terrain Recon Transports stormed the city while ARC-170 starfighters provided aerial support. The assault led to a Republic victory over the Separatist forces.

Aftermath
"Typical, the weather clears as soon as we're leaving."

- Obi-Wan Kenobi

As the Republic forces were preparing to depart aboard Acclamator-class assault ships and Venator-class Star Destroyers, Kenobi and Skywalker received an urgent HoloNet transmission from Jedi Master Mace Windu and Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. Intelligence had learned that the Confederate General Grievous had been making frequent trips to the planet Nelvaan, and the two Jedi were dispatched to ascertain what interest the Separatists had in the Outer Rim world.

Behind the scenes
This battle was shown in the twenty-second episode of the Star Wars: Clone Wars animated television series, and was originally aired on Cartoon Network on March 22, 2005. It was the second episode in the series' third season, and was released in the Volume II DVD.

Obi-Wan Kenobi says the line, "What an incredible smell you've discovered," as he and Anakin Skywalker are trudging through the sewers beneath the city. This is a nod to Han Solo saying the same line to Princess Leia upon entering Garbage Compactor 3263827 on the first Death Star in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.
