Plot summary[]
Onboard an Acclamator-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, Kenobi goes to speak with Anakin Skywalker, who is working on his starfighter. Skywalker complains that the other Jedi are unwilling to acknowledge his skills; Kenobi retorts that his skills are never in question, but his willingness to follow orders and recognize his place are. Kenobi offers a terse "May the Force be with you," before leaving Skywalker 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 Skywalker leads the V-19 fighters against the Separatists; while thousands of gunships ferry Kenobi and his soldiers down to the surface. Kenobi gives the order for the ARC gunship 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…
