Battle of unidentified planet (Skywalker and Tano)

This battle took place around 22 BBY during the Clone Wars. Jedi General Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan, Jedi Commander Ahsoka Tano, engaged enemy forces on a planet with Clone Captain CC-7567, a squad of clone troopers, and several AV-7 Antivehicle Cannons. After receiving word of the capture of Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray on Rodia, Skywalker sent his Padawan to assist in the transfer of Gunray to Coruscant.

The battle
"Ahsoka, listen to me. I would go myself, but I'm needed here.''" "Oh, and I'm not?''"

- Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano

Around 22 BBY during the Clone Wars, Galactic Republic forces under the command of Jedi General Anakin Skywalker, his Padawan, Jedi Commander Ahsoka Tano, and Clone Captain CC-7567 arrived on a planet and engaged enemy forces stationed there. Setting up a base, the Republic forces employed AV-7 Antivehicle Cannons against the enemy's artillery.

While Skywalker and CC-7567 stayed outside to keep a lookout and command the cannons, Tano took refuge inside the base and took the opportunity to use the viewscreens and study data. A clone sergeant was able to make contact with Rodia, and Skywalker left CC-7567 to keep up the heavy artillery bombardment while the Jedi went to talk with his secret wife, Senator Padmé Amidala. Conferring through a hololink, Skywalker learned that Amidala had been involved in the capture of Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray on Rodia; the viceroy was to be transported to Coruscant to stand trial for his war crimes. However, interference from enemy artillery caused the connection to be severed.

Unable to leave because he was needed to command the Republic forces, Skywalker instead sent his Padawan to oversee the transfer of Gunray to Coruscant and protect the senator. Skywalker himself remained on the planet to finish the battle.

Aftermath
"With all due respect, I am only three parsecs from Rodia now. I feel I should&hellip;I should continue to carry out the orders given to me by my master.''" "''Hmm&hellip; A Padawan's place it is to follow her master. Very well, Ahsoka. Proceed you may."

- Ahsoka Tano and Master Yoda

Three parsecs away from Rodia, Tano's shuttle was contacted by Jedi Masters Yoda and Mace Windu of the Jedi High Council. As Jedi Master Luminara Unduli was already overseeing the transfer of Gunray, Yoda and Windu believed that Skywalker should have consulted them first before assigning his Padawan to the mission. However, Tano reasoned that she was only a short distance away from Rodia, and felt that she should continue with her master's assignment. Yoda agreed, and Tano was given clearance to proceed.

On Rodia, Gunray was taken in a Consular-class cruiser by Unduli, Tano, and Clone Commander CC-1004 to the Venator-class Star Destroyer Tranquility. Once the Jedi had transferred Gunray to the Republic Star Destroyer, Dark Acolyte Asajj Ventress launched a mission to rescue the viceroy, as the Neimoidian would not last long under Jedi interrogation and would soon reveal Confederate secrets.
