Siege of Saleucami / Legends One of the last campaigns of the Clone Wars , the Siege of Saleucami , also known as the Battle of Saleucami , was a series of battles fought between the Grand Army of the Republic and thousands of specially bred Morgukai clones , trained for the Confederacy of Independent Systems by Anzati assassins . The siege . Attack on the Cloning Complex . Having besieged the main citadel and shield generator citadel of Saleucami for five months , the Republic Army made several attempts at reaching the perimeter shield generator , so that it could be deactivated and the underground clone factories could be subjected to orbital bombardment . However , all attacks were met with fierce resistance from the Morgukai clone army and the droid army aiding them . The Clone Army dug a massive trench around the droid positions . Finally establishing strongholds on the rim of the caldera , the armies were subjected to a massive attack by Confederate forces . This was but a diversion , as the real target was Jedi General Oppo Rancisis , who conducted his forces with the help of battle meditation and was thus a primary factor in their successes . Sending Anzati assassins to kill Rancisis , Sora Bulq ended his threat , as the Jedi Master let his guard down after killing all the assassins , thus enabling Bulq to stab him from behind . Following his death , the double - agent Quinlan Vos , Rancisis ' second - in - command at the time , took over his duties . The Clone Army led a final charge on the droid positions . AT - TEs successfully destroyed the AA cannons , allowing LAAT gunships to advance with the clones . Speeder bikes and LAATs hammered the droids , and before the droids could organize properly , the LAATs went back for another pass , this time accompanied by clones . As the forces raged on , ARC - 170 starfighters fired missiles on a massive separatist supply dump , creating a massive explosion , destroying a section of the citadel ' s walls . Using this advantage , the clones trapped a droid army and easily destroyed them . The clones continued up to the second level , destroying droids as they went . Very soon , the citadel was captured , and a team of Jedi infiltrators blew up the shield generator . Capturing the citadel proved vital , for clone snipers could easily pick apart the separatists . The Hailfire tanks and Spider walkers were also easy to gun down , due to clone heavy troopers finding ideal rocket - launching positions in wall - cracks . As the clones advanced to the remainder of the droid army , the concentrated fire of AT - TEs and LAATs successfully destroyed an orbital - range ion cannon which had long held the Republic warships from supporting any ground assaults . While the siege had lasted for months , Jedi Master Tholme had been busy subverting the Separatist cloning efforts by sabotaging facilities and destroying unfinished clones . At the climax of the battle , both he and General Secura helped Vos , his former student , escape the clutches of the dark side of the Force and end the terror wrought by Sora Bulq . Quinlan killed the Dark Jedi and escaped with his colleagues , just as the Separatist citadel was razed by Republic orbital bombardment . With the clone facilities destroyed and the Confederate dominance of the planet ended , the main battle was over . The Reports of Saleucami ' s fall came in shortly after the Battle of Coruscant . Mopping up . After the end of hostilities , most of the Jedi Generals moved on to other battlegrounds , leaving the remaining Separatist forces to be scoured from the planet by Stass Allie . During the final days of the Clone Wars , Allie was in command of a small force of clone troopers , led by Clone Commander Neyo , which had stayed behind following the Republic ' s recent victory on the world . The desert plains were strewn with battle debris , and carrion birds feasted on the fallen bodies of clone troopers . When Order 66 was enacted , Stass Allie was identified as an enemy of the Republic . Carrying out the order , Neyo hit the brakes on his BARC speeder , falling in behind the Jedi . He and his wingman opened fire with their speeder - mounted laser cannons , killing Stass Allie and destroying her speeder bike .
