Battle of Christophsis

"I told you this victory was too easy. We never should have sent the ship back for supplies.''" "It wasn't my idea to send the ship back." "All right, men, second wave incoming." "Rex, you and your men follow me." "''Cody, battle positions!"

- Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker argue while preparing for battle

The Battle of Christophsis took place for control of the planet Christophsis during the Clone Wars.

Prelude
Following the Battle of Geonosis, Count Dooku and his Confederacy sent their Droid Army under General Whorm Loathsom and assassin Asajj Ventress to capture Christophsis while Admiral Trench blockaded the planet. During this time the Republic had sent a relief force under Senator Bail Organa to aid the people of Christophsis.

The battle
"Help us, General Kenobi. You're our only hope."

- Senator Organa, asking for help on Christophsis The Republic then sent Jedi General Anakin Skywalker, Admiral Wullf Yularen, and their fleet to break through the blockade to rescue Senator Organa.

The Blockade
However, Skywalker and Yularen were unable to break through Trench's blockade line. As Skywalker prepared to ram his flagship, the Resolute, into the Trench's command ship, the Invincible, Jedi General Kenobi and Commander Cody arrived to assist them with a secret weapon. Skywalker's fleet then fell back behind moon. Trench then had his fleet recharge their weapons, knowing they would attack again.Aboard the Negotiator, Kenobi then showed Skywalker the Stealth ship. Despite being small, Skywalker believed he could take out the blockade. However, Kenobi wanted him to drop off supplies at Organa's camp. During this time, Admiral Yularen deduced that the flagship and the blockade were under the command of Admiral Trench, who was believed to have been vaporized at Malastare Narrows. Knowing this, he accompanied Skywalker on his supply mission as a consultant. Skywalker, along with Yularen, Commander Blackout, and their crew then left the negotiator.

As the stealth ship made their way through the blockade line with success, Trench grew impatient and decided to put pressure on the Republic fleet. Trench and TI-99 thus sent in the Hyena bombers to bomb Organa's camp. When Skywalker's ship detected the bombers take off, he stopped and shut down the ship's systems. After they passed the stealth ship, the bombers attacked Organa's camp. Organa then contacted Kenobi for help. Kenobi then told Skywalker to continue his supply mission while he dealt with Trench. However, Skywalker and Yularen objected to tactic, knowing Trench wanted them to attack. Thus Skywalker decided to attack Trench with the stealth ship. Trench then sensed something odd happening. Skywalker then targeted the Invincible. As Skywalker de-cloaked, Trench spotted it and raised his thermal shield in time. Trench then fired torpedoes at the stealth ship. However, Skywalker was able to evade them and re-cloak. Trench then fired a volley of lasers, but they missed. Despite this, Trench was able to deduce that the pilot was a Jedi. Trench then sent a message to the stealth ship, telling them that he has dealt with cloaked ships, to turn back while they could, and that he was their doom. Skywalker was then informed by Kenobi that Trench fought engagements against cloaked ships, but nothing as small as the stealth ship.

Thus Skywalker decided to attack again. Trench confident that his tactic would work and the jedi would attack again prepared. Skywalker then attacked, still unable to get through Trench's shields. Trench, despite having to lower his shields, fired tracking torpedoes that homed in on the stealth ship's magnetic signature. Despite the torpedoes coming fast at them, Skywalker then moved towards the ''Invincible. ''Trench, seeing his mistake, tried to raise his shields, but was unable too. Thus, as Skywalker scraped the Invincible 's hull, the torpedoes destroyed the Invincible, along with Trench. Trench survived, despite losing his left eye and three arms.

Skywalker then dropped off the supplies at Organa's camp. Following the blockade, Kenobi and Skywalker continued to fight the Separatists. They then set up a base for their artillery, gunships and AT-TEs.

Traitor in the ranks
Kenobi, Skywalker, Cody, Rex and their men then planned an ambush on column of battle droids and AATs from two towers. However, Kenobi's men then saw the droids splitting up. Kenobi, Cody and his men were then ambushed in the south tower by droids. Skywalker called then in Hawk's gunship for an evacuation. Skywalker, Rex, and their men then left the north tower using their ascension cables. Despite taking fire from the battle droids, Skywalker, Rex, and their men were then able to help Kenobi, Cody and their men escape to the roof. As they waited for Hawk's gunship, TJ-55 and it's battle droids then attacked as the clones boarded the gunship. However, trooper Gus was able to TJ-55's head with him.

At the base, Rex and Cody then performed a robolobotomy on the tactical droid's head, which revealed that they had all the intel on their position. Along with Skywalker and Kenobi, suspected that their was a spy in their midst. Skywalker and Kenobi then decided to investigate the Separatist headquarters while Cody and Rex tracked down the spy. Kenobi also told them to not tell anyone about their mission, knowing the spy could be anyone. As Kenobi and Skywalker left, Cody then saw that someone had left their comlink on and was listening to their conversation. Rex and Cody then spotted someone in the hallway. However, when they tried to chase them down, they lost him at mess hall. They then discovered that the spy was one of their clone troopers. Cody the tried to contact Kenobi and Skywalker to no avail.

Kenobi and Skywalker then sensed their opponent was informed of their arrival. They then arrived the Separatist headquarters. There they were confronted by Ventress, who told them that her spy informed her that they were coming. Kenobi and Skywalker then fought Ventress until they realized that she was distracting them while she brought in reinforcements under General Loathsom. However, they were then to escape Ventress's forces by jumping on a Octuptarra droid and then stealing a pair STAPs to make their escape back to their base.

Back at the republic base, Rex, Cody, and R2-D2 discovered that unauthorized transmissions were coming from Cody's Sergeant, Slick's barracks. Despite Slick's objections, Cody and Rex interrogated his men; Jester, Gus, Punch, Sketch and Chopper. All them had clean alibis except Chopper, who admitted that he was making a necklace out of battle droid fingers. Everyone believed he was the spy, until Slick admitted that he knew that jedi were gone. Slick then escaped towards the gunships and tanks. Cody and Rex then tried to find him, but was too late from setting of explosion that destroyed the gunships and tanks. Cody and Rex were then able to catch Slick in the base's command center. Slick then admitted that to the jedi he did it for his brothers to free them. Despite the damage Slick inflicted, Skywalker's and Kenobi's forces were able to save the cannons.

Ventress then left General Loathsom and a tactical droid to continue their attack while she carried out the next part of her master's plan. Kenobi and Skywalker then sent Yularen's fleet back to republic space for supplies.

Loathsom's assault
Kenobi's and Cody's men then held their lines against the battle droids, keeping them at bay with the cannons. Skywalker's and Rex's men then took on the Octuptarra droids. Seeing no other choices, Loathsom pulled back his forces in order to set up a deflector shield. Kenobi and Skywalker were then joined by Padawan learner, Ahsoka Tano who brought a message from Yoda that they must return to the Jedi Temple. They then transmitted a message to Yoda requesting reinforcements.
