Battle of Muunilinst

The Battle of Muunilinst is a battle that takes place four months after the Battle of Geonosis. It was first shown in the first episode of the cartoon microseries Star Wars: Clone Wars.

The battle was arranged when Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Yoda and Chancellor Palpatine were in a meeting. 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. Anakin bade farewell to Padme Amidala and the Jedi headed off.

The Republic fleet, 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 were deployed on a special mission within the city, but their ship was shot down behind enemy lines.

The ARC troopers, 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 a tricky urban battle zone.

The Separatist leader, San Hill, panicked as the Republic Army advanced. But Count Dooku had sent his bounty hunter, Durge, to Muunilinst as reinforcement. This vicious bounty hunter led a band of IG lancer droids toward the heart of the Republic's forces. The Republic Army faced a challenge greater than ever imagined against this tenacious villain and his forces.

Suddenly, Durge's mercenaries were turning the tide in favor of the Droid Army on Muunilinst. Obi-Wan led a team of Lancer troopers out to deal with them.

Obi-Wan and the ARC troopers raided the Intergalactic Banking Clan's Command Center, taking San Hill into custody and bringing the Droid ground assault to its knees.

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

The Republic won the battle, San Hill was captured, and Anakin tracked Asajj Ventress down to the fourth moon of Yavin. There, Ventress disposed all of the clone troopers and destroyed Anakin's 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, but not killed in combat.
