Sometime during the war , the Galactic Republic built Glid Station on the planet to watch for any surprise Separatist invasion s around the Pantora system . Due to the amount of military activity on the planet , Orto Plutonia ' s only indigenous species , the Talz , attacked the base , killing the clone troopers stationed there , and also assaulted the nearby Confederate base . High Jedi General Obi - Wan Kenobi and Jedi General Anakin Skywalker were dispatched to investigate the loss of contact with the base , and they subsequently discovered the Talz , whose presence on the planet had not yet been recorded . After meeting with the Talz ' s leader , Thi - Sen , the Jedi sought to establish a peaceful agreement between the Republic and the Talz , but Chi Cho , Chairman of the Pantoran Assembly , instead declared war on the planet ' s natives in an attempt to remove them from the planet . While the two Jedi remained near Glid Station with Pantoran Senator Riyo Chuchi to speak with the Pantoran Assembly and officially resolve the conflict , Clone Captain Rex and a group of clone troopers were tasked with protecting Cho from the Talz . After the Talz ambushed Cho and the clones , Cho became injured when a Talz threw a spear at him . Despite this , Rex fled the area with the other clones , bringing the incapacitated Cho along on his BARC speeder . Thi - Sen and the Talz pursued Rex and his team and trapped the clone troopers at a dead - end cliff overlooking a canyon , but Kenobi , Skywalker , and Chuchi landed at the battle site and halted the Talz ' s attack . To settle the conflict between the Pantorans and the Talz , Chuchi met with Thi - Sen , establishing an agreement that allowed the Talz to live in peace on the planet . Prelude . In 22 BBY , the Galactic Republic built Glid Station on the Pantoran world of Orto Plutonia to halt invasion s around the Pantora system . Nearby , the Confederacy of Independent Systems maintained a base as well . As a result of the Republic and Confederate activity on the planet , the native Talz species became aggravated . The Talz attacked Glid Station and killed the clone cold assault troopers stationed there , though they did not only attack the Republic base ; the nearby Confederate base became abandoned after the Talz besieged it as well . After losing contact with Glid Station , the Jedi High Council dispatched Jedi Generals Obi - Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker , as well as a group of clone troopers , to Orto Plutonia to investigate the loss of communication within the base . The two Jedi were accompanied to the planet by two Pantoran politicians — Riyo Chuchi , a senator representing the Pantoran moon of Pantora , and Chi Cho , the Chairman of the Pantoran Assembly . Upon landing on the planet ' s surface aboard an LAAT / i gunship , Kenobi and Skywalker met with Cho and Chuchi near Glid Station . Entering the station , Kenobi and Cho noticed the frozen corpses of clone troopers scattered around the command center of the base , and though Cho concluded that the Confederacy had attacked the base , Kenobi denied this upon seeing that the clones ' helmets had been impaled upon spears driven into the floor . After Clone Captain CT - 7567 , nicknamed " Rex , " told Kenobi that his scouts had found a Confederate base nearby , Kenobi , Skywalker , Rex , and a group of clones went to the base , only to find it abandoned . Noticing destroyed battle droid heads on spears in a similar fashion to the clone helmets at Glid Station , Kenobi concluded that whoever had attacked the Republic base had assaulted the Separatist base as well . Inside the Separatist base , the two Jedi and Rex turned on a holoprojector to watch recorded logs to find out what had attacked the base . When one of the recorded logs revealed that a team of droids had been investigating the planet ' s southern canyon , Kenobi and Skywalker decided to investigate it and came across a Talz camp there . Meeting with Medcha Wanto , the scribe to the Talz ' s leader , Thi - Sen , the two Jedi were escorted into Thi - Sen ' s hut . Unable to communicate with the Talz , as the Talz could not speak or understand Basic , Skywalker drew a picture depicting two individuals shaking hands as a sign for peace . Thi - Sen understood what Skywalker was trying to say , and agreed to a meeting to discuss peace with the Republic . Returning to Glid Station , Kenobi and Skywalker told Cho and Chuchi of the Talz ' s presence on the planet , and that they wanted peace . While Cho insisted they should attack the Talz , the two Jedi told him they had organized a meeting with the leader of the Talz . Cho agreed to go with the two Jedi to the Talz , and soon the group left the station aboard Freeco bikes and BARC speeders to rendezvous with Thi - Sen near the abandoned Confederate base . Kenobi and Skywalker then entered the base with Cho and Chuchi and met with Thi - Sen . With the assistance of protocol droid C - 3PO , Cho spoke to Thi - Sen and declared war on the Talz in an attempt to oust them from Orto Plutonia , despite Thi - Sen ' s desire for peace . When Cho ordered Rex and his men to mount up and follow him , Rex questioned the Chairman ' s order to Skywalker , and the Jedi Knight told the Captain that he and his men had to protect the Chairman . As Cho , Rex , and his men boarded separate Freeco bikes and BARC speeders , Kenobi and Skywalker remained with Chuchi . Upset about Cho ' s decision , both Jedi asked Chuchi if someone could override the Chairman ' s decision to fight the Talz . After Chuchi revealed that the Pantoran Assembly could do so , they boarded a gunship and returned to Glid Station to make contact with the Pantoran government . The battle . The group led by Cho rode on their separate vehicles until they came into contact with three Talz warriors riding on narglatch mounts in a canyon . When they were in range , Cho ordered Rex and the other clones to open fire , and though Rex cited that the clones were only there to protect him , they were forced into battle when more Talz warriors appeared out of the snow , ambushing the group . The Talz began to attack Cho ' s team and killed a few clones in the process . When Rex was forced to dismount from his Freeco bike after colliding with a narglatch - mounted Talz , Cho followed Rex ' s lead and alighted from his vehicle . On Rex ' s order , the clones parked their vehicles around Rex , forming a protective circle for them to fight the Talz . However , Thi - Sen and other Talz warriors began to throw spears at Cho ' s group from their positions along the canyon . Even though Cho was being protected by his two Pantoran Guard members , a Talz warrior soon jumped over the clones ' vehicle barricade and killed a guard with his spear . Before the warrior had the chance to kill Cho , however , the Chairman ' s other guard shot the Talz warrior . Thi - Sen ' s men continued to throw spears at the Republic group , and Thi - Sen soon sent a group of Talz warriors on narglatch mounts to finish off the struggling Republic group . Rex shot and killed a few ambushing Talz with his hand blaster , but he was unable to eliminate them all . He ordered Cho and his men to retreat , and although Cho denied the order , his last guard was soon killed , and the chairman himself was injured from a spear . A nearby Talz warrior attempted to toss another spear at the chairman , but the attack was stopped by Rex , who rammed the warrior with a BARC speeder . The clone captain placed the injured Cho on his speeder and departed the area , leading his men away from the battlefield . Noticing their retreat , Thi - Sen ordered his men to pursue the fleeing Republic group . Meanwhile , back at Glid Station , Kenobi , Skywalker , and Chuchi made contact with the Pantoran Assembly aboard an LAAT / i gunship . Through a hologram transmission , a representative of the Assembly told them that Cho ' s actions were out of order , and that Chuchi was to negotiate peace between the Talz and Pantorans . With the decision made , their gunship , along with three others , left the station to rendezvous with Cho and the clone troopers . As Rex and his clone group proceeded through the canyon , Thi - Sen ' s Talz warriors , who were riding their narglatch mounts , ambushed the Republic group , utilizing wooden clubs to knock various clones off their BARC speeders . Soon , the Republic group left the canyon and headed toward an ice bridge . The Talz continued to chase after Rex and his men and tossed spears at them from a distance . As both groups approached the ice bridge , the span itself collapsed , killing two clones and eliminating the Republic group ' s chance of escape . Rex and the remainder of his team immediately dismounted from their BARC speeders , and as the line of Talz on narglatch mounts approached the Republic group , Rex ordered his men to organize a defense of their position . The clones began to fire their blasters at the Talz and took out several of Thi - Sen ' s warriors . Before Thi - Sen and his men reached the clones , however , the Jedi ' s LAAT / i gunships approached the battle site and landed near Rex . Noticing the gunships , Thi - Sen ' s group halted their attack . Disembarking from their gunship , Kenobi , Skywalker , and Chuchi approached Rex , who reported their casualties to Skywalker : eleven of his men were dead and the rest had been injured , including Cho . After learning from Chuchi that she was to negotiate peace between the Talz and Pantorans , the disbelieving Cho died from his injuries . With C - 3PO , Chuchi walked up to the Talz , who remained on their mounts . Slamming a spear to the ground as a sign for peace , Chuchi , using 3PO as a translator , spoke with Thi - Sen , who agreed to settle the conflict and placed his spear on the ground as well . Before departing , Chuchi transferred to Thi - Sen and his people the rights to Orto Plutonia , where they could live in peace . Aftermath . Following the peaceful resolution of the battle , Thi - Sen and his Talz soldiers departed . Both Kenobi and Skywalker congratulated Chuchi on her success in ending the conflict between the Pantorans and the Talz . Along with the clones , they boarded the LAAT / i gunships and left the site of the battle . After the battle , Confederate forces wished to eliminate the Talz who had destroyed their original base . In order to stop the Confederacy , Skywalker led a squadron of starfighters to destroy the Confederate XT Beetle Transports on the planet . Sometime after his death , Cho ' s title of Chairman of the Pantoran Assembly was given to the Pantoran Baron Notluwiski Papanoida . Behind the scenes .
