Bad Kitty / Legends The Bad Kitty was an LAAT / i gunship used by the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars between the Separatists and the Republic . The " Bad Kitty " had customized nose art painted on either of its sides , with a nexu riding a large bomb and the ship ' s name written in aurebesh on the bomb . In 21 BBY saw action during the Second Battle of Geonosis — when the Republic attacked the Separatist planet of Geonosis — serving as a troop transport during a Republic assault on a Geonosian foundry . However , while the " Bad Kitty " was carrying High Jedi General Obi - Wan Kenobi and several clone troopers to a Republic staging area , the gunship was shot down by Separatist flak gun s . The resulting crash - landing killed everyone onboard except for Kenobi and a trooper nicknamed Trapper , and the Separatist ground forces soon started to attack the downed gunship , leaving the two survivors trapped inside . As the Separatists neared the " Bad Kitty " , two clone troopers , nicknamed Waxer and Boil , managed to reach the gunship , pull the survivors out of the " Kitty " s wreckage , and carry them back the Republic ' s staging area . Characteristics . The " Bad Kitty " was a Low Altitude Assault Transport / infantry gunship , used by the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars between the Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems . Manufactured by Rothana Heavy Engineering , the " Kitty " had customized nose art painted on both sides , depicting of a nexu riding a bomb with the gunship ' s name written in aurebesh on the bomb . The " Bad Kitty " had a cockpit large enough to hold a clone pilot , a pair of anti - personnel laser turrets at the front of the vessel , two engines , and four composite - beam laser turrets , two of which were at either side of the " Kitty " and the other two built - into both of the gunship ' s wings . The " Kitty " had a passenger compartment in its center that was large enough to hold several grown Humans . Although the " Bad Kitty " was well armored , it could not withstand sustained enemy fire . History . Around 21 BBY , the Confederacy reactivated their battle droid foundries on the desert planet Geonosis , which the Republic had previously deactivated at the start of the war . In response , the Republic launched a full scale assault on Geonosis , sending a large Republic fleet — including the " Bad Kitty " — to conquer Geonosis and deactivate the factories . The Republic task force planned to launch a large , three - pronged aerial attack against the Separatists ' well defended primary factory , protected by a shield generator . In the assault , the " Bad Kitty " would transport High Jedi General Obi - Wan Kenobi — who would lead the Republic ' s northern push — and several Advanced Recon clone troopers , including a trooper nicknamed Trapper . During the battle , Kenobi and his troopers boarded the gunship , and the " Kitty " departed from a Republic Star Destroyer it had been stationed at , being one of the first gunships to launch . As the " Kitty " and the rest of Kenobi ' s gunships approached the Separatist perimeter line , they were met by a well prepared Confederate defense , including Geonosian proton and sonic cannons . Several of the Republic ' s gunships were destroyed by the Separatist anti - air fire , although the " Kitty " managed to evade the enemy ' s shot . However , as the " Kitty " neared the Republic ' s planned landing point — designated Point Rain — several Geonosian starfighters attacked the gunship , damaging its left engine , forcing the " Bad Kitty " into a crash - landing . The Republic vessel skidded across the desert ground , snapping off its left wing and killing everyone on board except General Kenobi and Trapper . The downed gunship settled five kilometers away from the Republic ' s landing point , near the Separatists ' defense lines , leaving Kenobi and Trapper trapped in the " Kitty " s wreckage . Meanwhile , the remainder of Kenobi ' s forces managed to arrive at Point Rain and set up a defense square around the landing point . Clone Commander Cody , who had taken command at the square , saw the downed gunship and , believing it to be the " Bad Kitty " , sent a pair of Advanced Recon troopers nicknamed Waxer and Boil to rescue any survivors . With the defense square giving covering fire , Waxer and Boil ran the five - kilometer distance , barely dodging Separatist artillery fire . The two recon troopers were able to reach the downed " Kitty " and pry off its right troop compartment door . Seeing the badly injured Kenobi and Trapper , Waxer and Boil helped the two out of the gunship ' s wreckage and walked the survivors back to the square , supporting Kenobi and Trapper with their shoulders . After getting back to the landing point , Kenobi and Trapper were given medical support . Crew . The " Bad Kitty " was flown by a clone pilot , and had a clone copilot who operated the ship ' s wing particle beam turrets . The " Kitty " also had a pair of clone gunners that operated both of vessel ' s side beam turrets . During the assault on Geonosis , the " Bad Kitty " transported several clone troopers , including a trooper nicknamed Trapper , and Jedi Master Obi - Wan Kenobi . After the gunship was shot down , all of the " Kitty " s passengers were killed , with the exception of Kenobi and Trapper , who were rescued by Waxer and Boil soon after . Behind the scenes . " Bad Kitty " made its first appearance in " Landing at Point Rain , " the fifth episode in of . In the episode , the gunship had its nexu nose art put in as an easter egg , as " Bad Kitty " was the nickname the ILM animation team gave the nexu in the Petranaki arena in . In " Landing at Point Rain , " a gunship with identical nose markings can be seen dropping off Master Ki - Adi - Mundi after the shield generator is destroyed . As the " Bad Kitty " was clearly not flight - worthy after crashing , with one of its wings having been snapped off , it is unclear if this was meant to be a sister gunship with identical markings , if " Bad Kitty " was somehow repaired and put back into action in that short period of time , or if the episode ' s design team made an error in using the " Kitty " ' s modeling skin later in the episode .
