"By ignoring Yularen's orders, freeing the slaves and inspiring them to fight the Separatists' battle droids, Anakin saved their lives. There was also a concomitant benefit of Anakin's insubordination: If the factory had been destroyed and the slaves killed, the Separatists would have used the brutal Republic attack as propaganda for recruiting neutral worlds to their cause."
Kitrin Braves, Skywalker: A Family at War[3]

The Galactic Republic initiated a mission to Kudo III during the Clone Wars, acting on intelligence of a droid factory on the planet.

Prelude[]

In the Clone Wars, following the Battle of Corvair, the Galactic Republic sent the Resolute to Kudo III based on intelligence about a droid factory on the moon. Admiral Wullf Yularen endorsed a plan to bomb the plant's reactor, although it would cause heavy civilian casualties while minimizing clone trooper losses. Jedi General Anakin Skywalker decided to land himself and investigate.[1]

The mission[]

Skywalker took his starfighter down to the factory. He infiltrated inside, and discovered that the Separatists had enslaved the Kudon; if the Republic had destroyed the factory it would have been a propaganda victory. Skywalker freed the slaves and they took up arms against the battle droids.[1]

Aftermath[]

"Do you think this will sway the Kudon to join the Republic? At the very least, I don't see them siding with the Separatists now."
―General Skywalker[1]

After the mission, Yularen and Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi understood the factory had been a Separatist ploy. If they had gone through with the admiral's plan, the deaths of the Kudon would have been used as a political weapon by the Confederacy to convince neutral systems to join. Now that they were free, Skywalker speculated that the Confederate slavery would push the Kudon to join the Republic.[1]
