Synopsis
Onboard an Acclamator I-class assault ship, Obi-Wan Kenobi informs his squad of ARC troopers of their mission: to secure the InterGalactic Banking Clan headquarters as soon as possible, in order to quickly end the battle.

Afterwards, Obi-Wan goes to speak with Anakin Skywalker, who is working on his starfighter. Anakin complains that the other Jedi are unwilling to acknowledge his skills; Obi-Wan retorts that his skills are never in question, but it is his willingness to follow orders and recognize his place are. Obi-Wan offers a terse "May the Force be with you", before leaving Anakin to his ship.



As the Republic fleet drops out of hyperspace above Muunilinst, it immediately comes under attack from orbiting defense platforms and squadrons of Geonosian starfighters. The Battle of Muunilinst has begun.

As Anakin leads the V-19 fighters against the Separatists, thousands of gunships ferry Obi-Wan and his soldiers down to the surface. Obi-Wan gives the order for the ARC ship to veer off towards the Banking Clan headquarters. Before it can reach there, however, it is shot down by a battle droid. This strands the ARC troopers in an unfamiliar area of the city of Harnaidan...
