The Wookiee forces were bolstered by support from the Galactic Republic , the Confederacy ' s opponent in the war . Clone troopers and Jedi Masters arrived in Kachirho , and the joint forces established defensive positions on the city ' s beaches . The fighting began when Confederate assault vehicles crossed Kachirho ' s lagoon . Zittaasabba served as the pilot of an Oevvaor jet catamaran , an unarmed Wookiee aerial vehicle , during the fray .
