Whorm Loathsom / Legends Whorm Loathsom was a Kerkoiden male who hailed from the planet Kerkoidia and served both in his homeworld ' s planetary forces and as the general of the Retail Caucus ' s military forces in the Confederacy of Independent Systems . An accomplished commander , his numerous victories during the Clone Wars led him to infamy throughout the Inner Core . In 22 BBY , Loathsom captured the planet Christophsis , and the Galactic Republic dispatched Jedi - led clone trooper forces to liberate the planet . After being forced to retreat , Loathsom launched a counterattack , advancing his battle droid troops behind a deflector shield that rendered the Republic ' s artillery useless . High Jedi General Obi - Wan Kenobi pretended to surrender to the Kerkoiden in order to gain time for Jedi General Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan , Ahsoka Tano , to eliminate the shield generator . Loathsom eventually lost patience with discussing Kenobi ' s terms of surrender and threatened to kill the Jedi . After Skywalker and Tano destroyed the generator , however , Loathsom himself was captured . With his shameful defeat and capture on Christophsis , Loathsom was taken to Coruscant , where he was tried by the Republic and found guilty of treason , as his service in his Republic - aligned homeworld ' s planetary forces made him a member of the Republic Military . As of 19 BBY , he was still incarcerated within the Republic military base ' s high - level prison on Coruscant . Biography . Capturing Christophsis . The Kerkoiden male Whorm Loathsom came from the Expansion Region planet Kerkoidia and served in his homeworld ' s planetary forces . During the Clone Wars , he joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems as the general of the Retail Caucus ' s military forces and a leader within the Retail Caucus itself . His creative strategies won many victories for the Confederacy , including a string of military campaigns , leading him to become considered a legend throughout the Southern Core and winning himself the respect of Republic strategists based on the galactic capital , Coruscant . He proved his bravery while battling the Republic and was even seen by some as a hero on the Separatist side . In 22 BBY , in the seventh week of the war , the Confederacy set its sights on capturing the Outer Rim planet Christophsis . Loathsom ' s forces invaded the crystalline world and , via a massive planet - wide holotransmission , Loathsom told the planet ' s Christophsian inhabitants to submit to Separatist rule . As the Galactic Republic dispatched a contingent of the Grand Army of the Republic — under the command of High Jedi General Obi - Wan Kenobi and Jedi General Anakin Skywalker — to liberate Christophsis , the Dark Acolyte Asajj Ventress arrived on the planet and met with Loathsom . Ventress relayed intelligence to Loathsom on the Republic ' s plan to ambush the Separatist Droid Army from a double - towered business center , which had been collected and transmitted by her spy , Clone Sergeant Slick . Loathsom and Ventress used Slick ' s information to prepare an ambush against the Republic . Shortly thereafter , Skywalker and Kenobi went to the Confederacy base to conduct an investigation behind enemy lines . After engaging the Jedi in a lightsaber duel and forcing them to flee , Ventress relayed further orders to Loathsom through a tactical droid , telling Loathsom to delay the Jedi as long as possible while she left to execute a mission for her Master , Count Dooku . Battling the Republic . With an army of greater size than the Republic had expected , Loathsom launched an assault on the Jedi and their clone trooper forces . As the Republic established a base in the planet ' s capital , Crystal City , Loathsom set out to destroy the Republic ' s command center with his battle droid troops before the base could be completed . Loathsom deployed his forces at the Republic ' s landing zone , but after his B1 battle droids , BX - series droid commandos , droid - piloted Single Trooper Aerial Platforms , and NR - N99 " Persuader " - class tanks did not succeed in breaching the Republic defenses , he sent more powerful droidekas and OG - 9 homing spider droids to cut through the Republic ' s tower - mounted turret emplacements . When that , too , failed , he targeted a Republic refugee camp and besieged it with his forces just as the Republic was setting up a defense of the camp . Despite deploying droid starfighters and moving his ground troops forward under the protection of mobile super tank shield generator s , Loathsom was unable to destroy the refugee camp , but he did not relent in his campaign for Christophsis . With his army spread thin over the world , Loathosm dispatched his battle droids in two groups to meet up at a rendezvous point on the planet . When his two battle groups were ambushed by Republic forces , Loathsom pressed his attack and sent forward several large octuptarra magna tri - droid s . However , his forces were defeated by Clone Commander Cody and a Jedi Knight thanks to covering fire from the Republic " Venator " - class Star Destroyer " Dauntless " . After several days of fighting , the Kerkoiden was forced to retreat . Loathsom soon returned to attack the Republic ' s base in Crystal City , advancing B1 , B2 , and tri - droids in the front lines while he followed behind with a group of Armored Assault Tanks . However , the Republic ' s AV - 7 Antivehicle Cannon s forced the Confederate tanks to halt their progress . Learning of the enemy ' s artillery , Loathsom had an OOM command battle droid turn the troops around , and after his forces had pulled back , he set up a deflector shield in preparation for another attack on the Republic army . He then dispatched his forces in two groups from the south and the east to beleaguer Crystal City . Kenobi and Alpha Squad halted the south force ' s approach , but Bravo Squad was unable to stop the east force ' s advance . Loathsom then led his east battle group and advanced behind his expanding deflector shield , which effectively negated the Republic ' s long - ranged artillery . Loathsom sent his battle droids to destroy the Republic ' s cannons while he followed with lines of droid tanks . Because of the Confederacy ' s deflector shield , the Republic troops were unable to stop the advancing droids , and Kenobi had his troops protect the cannons while he gained time by stalling Loathsom . The Kerkoiden general cornered Kenobi with his Armored Assault Tank and a squad of super battle droids and DSD1 dwarf spider droids . Kenobi " surrendered " to Loathsom , forming some crystal rubble into a table with the Force , and the two seated themselves to discuss the " terms of surrender . " Over a cup of tarine tea , brought by Loathsom ' s LEP servant droid , LEP - 96M3 , the discussion of the Kenobi ' s surrender continued . Loathsom became increasingly impatient with Kenobi as he finally realized that Kenobi was stalling . Overturning the crystal table , Loathsom ordered his troops to seize the Jedi General . Loathsom demanded the Jedi ' s surrender and threatened to kill him . At that moment , however , Skywalker and his recently apprenticed Padawan , Ahsoka Tano , destroyed the deflector shield generator , causing the shield to recede and expose Loathsom ' s troops to long - range artillery . Kenobi broke free of the battle droids and captured Loathsom in a headlock . As the battle droids began to fire , LEP - 96M3 was destroyed , and the Kerkoiden ordered his droid squad to stand down . With its renewed artillery usage , the Republic was able to defeat the Confederate forces , and Loathsom was taken prisoner , bound by handcuffs . Republic reinforcements arrived on Christophsis , and Loathsom was shamed with his defeat in a battle that would have been a sure Separatist victory . Within custody . Following his capture , Loathsom was taken to Coruscant . There , he was tried and swiftly found guilty of treason , as Kerkoidia was still recognized as a member of the Republic , making him a member of the Republic Military for his service in his homeworld ' s planetary forces . After being interrogated by Republic Intelligence and having all useful information extracted from him , Loathsom was sent to solitary confinement , eventually ending up in the high - level prison of the Republic military base . As of circa 20 BBY , two years after his capture , he was still serving out a sentence in the prison alongside other captured Separatist comrades , including Techno Union Foreman Wat Tambor and Geonosian Archduke Poggle the Lesser . The clone troopers of the Coruscant Guard who oversaw prison security kept him under close surveillance in his solitary cell . Loathsom remained in Republic custody through 19 BBY , when the Republic became the first Galactic Empire . Personality and traits . Gruff and guttural , Whorm Loathsom was a cunning and accomplished commander who served the Confederacy of Independent Systems , proving his bravery in battle with the Republic on numerous counts . His strategies in battle led the Separatists to numerous victories , and he prided himself on his leadership skills . He saw nobility to war and believed that opponents should respect each other instead of behaving like savages , sometimes dismissing the losses to clone troopers and his own battle droids as expendable . Hailed as a hero by some on the Separatist side , Loathsom had faith in the Confederacy ' s causes , telling the people of Christophsis to submit to Confederate rule once his forces seized the world . He recognized the merits of a strategic retreat ; when he realized that his droids would be useless against the Republic ' s heavy cannons on Christophsis , he ordered his forces to retreat and set up a deflector shield . However , he often overestimated his abilities as a Separatist leader . He was considered a legend throughout the Inner Core , but his supreme vanity and ego sometimes got in the way of his role as a general , resulting in orders and decisions formed more out of arrogance than of strategy . Notorious for being equally cruel and vain , Loathsom was not impervious to flattery , as evidenced by his reactions to Obi - Wan Kenobi ' s comments on his abilities , and his overly prominent ego , as well as his good manners , allowed Kenobi to stall him while Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano destroyed the shield generator . Loathsom loathed the fact that some did not afford Kerkoidens the respect that they deserved and was influenced by remarks on his species , rising to the bait and civilly discussing Kenobi ' s surrender when the Human Jedi Master implied that Kerkoidens were less civilized than Humans . His eagerness to teach the Republic a lesson or two sometimes caused his comments to lack respect when addressing associates such as Asajj Ventress . When Loathsom finally realized that Kenobi was stalling for time , he acted on his anger and overturned the crystal table where they were seated . He was quick in attempting to force Kenobi to surrender , but was later shamed after he was defeated and captured . Loathsom formed an attachment to his LEP servant droid , LEP - 96M3 , who had learned to perform his duties exactly as the Kerkoiden liked . He was subsequently saddened when the droid was destroyed on Christophsis , missing his servant considerably . Standing 1 . 75 meters tall , Loathsom had red eyes and bluish gray skin . He was able to speak both Galactic Basic Standard and Kerkoidese . In battle , he wore the ceremonial uniform of a Kerkoiden cavalier and a fauld in honor of his victories during the war .
