Katuunko follows his conscience and secretly aids the Republic , which Jar Jar is able to keep secret from the snooping Trade Federation agents with his inimitable distractions . " Plot summary . Ryloth has been invaded and blockaded by the Separatists , and Jedi Master Ima - Gun Di , his troops and Twi ' lek Resistance leader Cham Syndulla are hardpressed to maintain their positions against the droid army as supplies run low . Master Di makes contact with the Republic relief supply fleet under Admiral Dao . In no position to deliver supplies himself , however , as he has fallen under attack himself by the Separatist blockade , Dao makes contact with the Jedi Temple , begging that reinforcements be dispatched , before his ship is destroyed . Since no other relief forces are close by , the Jedi Council ( represented by Yoda , Mace Windu , and Obi - Wan Kenobi ) asks Senator Organa , who has just finished a senate mission , to travel to nearby Toydaria and ask King Katuunko to use the planet as a supply staging base . Jar Jar Binks is dispatched to assist him . Organa and Jar Jar are granted an audience with the king and his council , but negotiations are rendered complicated by the arrival of Lott Dod , the Senate representative of the Trade Federation sent by Count Dooku , who has caught wind of Organa ' s mission . Organa and Binks stress their humanitarian intentions in the matter , but Dod points out that by agreeing to deliver supplies to Ryloth and the Republic troops , Toydaria , who had declared her strict neutrality in this war , would be taking sides and thus shatter her principles . After thorough consideration , Katuunko officially denies the Republic their rights to a base on Toydaria , but afterwards he secretly meets Organa and Binks and tells them that the humanitarian factor has actually gained his favor . He agrees to load Organa ' s ship with a preliminary supply of provisions if Organa can keep the involvement of Toydaria secret . Organa hits upon the plan to have Jar Jar distract Dod during a banquet , a task which the Gungan performs with extraordinary skill , while Organa supervises the loading of the relief supplies . Meanwhile , the situation on Ryloth is growing more desperate by the hour , and the Republic and Twi ' lek troops are forced to retreat to a safe position . Syndulla announces that his people cannot fight any longer , voicing doubts that the Republic will ever aid them . To cover their escape , Master Di uses a gunship loaded with explosives to cut off a mountain pass leading to their position , forcing the droids down another way , where they can be more easily held off . The droids arrive soon and overrun the remaining clone troopers , but just after Captain Keeli is gunned down and Di heavily wounded , he receives word that a load of supplies is on its way , and he dies content with the knowledge that the Twi ' leks will survive . The supplies are dropped in front of Syndulla ' s convoy , raising cheers and renewing hope . As Organa and Binks are bidden farewell by Katuunko , Dod steps in and protests that they have broken the agreement , a claim for which Organa cheekily demands proof . Unable to give any , Dod storms off , fuming , and Katuunko turns to the senators with the announcement that in the light of these events Toydaria may be reconsidering her stance of neutrality , a news that greatly gladdens Organa and Binks .
