Battle for the Galactic Republic information bunker

"An information bunker was too big a prize for an tactical droid to resist. We'll take this back to the cruiser and run a robolobotomy. Who knows what secrets it might hold?"

- Aayla Secura

This battle was fought around 22 BBY on an unidentified planet during the Clone Wars. Hoping to obtain information held in the memory banks of a Confederate tactical droid, Jedi General Aayla Secura, along with Commander CC-5052 and three other clone troopers, set a trap by fabricating an information bunker. A force of battle droids commanded by the tactical droid soon walked right into that trap, where they were attacked by the clone troopers. The clones quickly destroyed the tactical droid's escort and Secura beheaded the droid herself. The Jedi then took the droid's head in order to perform a robolobotomy and discover what secrets it held.

The battle
Around 22 BBY during the Clone Wars, Jedi General Aayla Secura and a squad of clone troopers led by Commander CC-5052 attempted to obtain information held in the memory banks of a Confederate tactical droid. In order to do this, Secura and the clones set a trap by fabricating an information bunker on a planet, which attracted the attention of the droid. Secura then hid inside the bunker, while the clones took position above the canyon leading to it.

Soon, a large force of Confederate battle droids commanded by the STAP-mounted tactical droid moved toward the fake bunker, hoping to obtain the Galactic Republic data files hidden there. The droids broke into the bunker, only to discover that the data banks were empty. At that moment, taking advantage of the droids' confusion, clone troopers launched an assault on the droid forces, using jetpacks to make a swift landing in the canyon.

Lieutenants CT-6734 and CT-41/14-0301 took out the B2 super battle droids while trooper Inc used EMP grenades on the remaining B1 battle droids. Meanwhile, the tactical droid attempted to retreat into the bunker, but was intercepted there by General Secura, who beheaded him with her lightsaber. Because the droid was surprised to see the Jedi and did not have time to trigger cyberostasis before being decapitated, his memory banks were left intact.

Once her team joined her in the bunker, Secura commended them on their efforts in successfully completing the mission. Secura then decided to perform a robolobotomy on the droid's head aboard her Venator-class Star Destroyer to discover what information it held.
