However , Skywalker was wounded in the rescue and their frigate was damaged . The frigate then entered hyperspace , but were about to collide with a star . Fortunately , Tano was able to steer the ship away from the star , but they were forced to crash land on Maridun . Once there , they then looked for aid , which they found at a village of Lurmen pacifists . Despite concern from their leader , Tee Watt Kaa , they sheltered the Jedi and his son , Wag Too , was able to save Skywalker ' s life . The Separatist ' s arrival . Sometime later , a Separatist ' s landing ship came . At first , Tee Watt Kaa believed the separatists were coming for the Jedi . However , Tano assured him that the separatists did not know they were there . Tee Watt Kaa then went to speak with the Separatist commander , General Lok Durd . Durd proclaimed that the planet and the village were under Separatist ' s protection . Durd ' s battle droids then searched the village just as the Jedi and the clones fled the village . The battle droids found no weapons or Republic contraband . Durd told Tee Watt Kaa that he would conduct more searches for security reasons . The Jedi then decided to steal a ship from the Separatist ' s outpost . However , they were then spotted by one of their recon droids . Luckily , Bly jammed it ' s signal and Secura destroyed the droid . From a tree , Secura , Tano , Skywalker , Rex and Bly spotted the outpost . There they spotted Durd and his technician bringing out a new weapon capable of destroying organic lifeforms but sparing droids . He then picked two droids As Bly and Rex took a closer look at the weapon , Durd contacted Count Dooku . He informed the Count that he had found a world perfect for the testing of the Defoliator . Durd and Dooku watched as Zignat fired the Defoliator Deployment Tank at the two droids . As the shell came crashing down at the droids , Rex and Bly ran . Bly tripped but was then saved by Secura . The two droids survived impact , while everything living was burned . Dooku was impressed by the results . However , Dooku wanted Durd to test it on living being . Durd explained that the colonist would be their test subjects . Durd then moved his battle droids and tanks toward the village . Stealing a shuttle . After Durd and his droids left , Skywalker and the others decided to take out the remaining droids at the outpost . Thus , Skywalker , Rex , and Bly distracted the droids outside while Secura and Tano infiltrated the outpost . Once inside and all the battle droids gone , they stole the shuttle and the shield generators and returned to the Lurmen ' s village . However , Tee Watt Kaa refused to allow them defend the village . Despite his objections , the Jedi and the clones erected a wall made of pods around the village . Defending the village . Durd then spotted the Jedi and clones building the wall as he approached . Durd then fired the defoliator . However , the shield generators were able to hold up against the defoliator ' s blast wave . Durd then sent in a squad to destroy the generators . However , the jedi and clones were able to destroy the first wave . Durd then sent in 2 squads , that overwhelmed the Jedi . Despite this , Skywalker decided to disable the weapon while Tano , Secura , Rex and Bly defended the village from the battle droids . However , the battle droids were overwhelming them . The colonists , despite Tee Watt Kaa ' s objections , decided to help the Jedi . Together , they were able to stop the droids . Skywalker then ran towards the AATs and the defoliator . He then destroyed the defoliator . Durd the then tried to run when the defoliator shell dropped , but was then captured by Skywalker , thus ending the battle . Aftermath . Wag Too then offered his thanks to the Jedi for their protection . As Durd and Zignat were being taken prisoner aboard the shuttle , the " Resolute " and two other cruisers arrived .
