Second Battle of Geonosis

The Second Battle of Geonosis took place in 21 BBY during the Clone Wars on the Outer Rim planet of Geonosis, which also served as the site of the conflict's opening battle. The battle began when the Galactic Republic launched a full-scale planetary invasion of Geonosis in an attempt to cease the operation of several battle droid factories constructed by Geonosian Archduke Poggle the Lesser. Following a covert mission conducted by Senator Padmé Amidala of Naboo to the planet Cato Neimoidia, the Republic managed to discover that the Confederacy of Independent Systems had constructed a new series of droid factories on Geonosis, which led to the large dispatch of a large Jedi-led invasion force from the Grand Army of the Republic to retake the planet and hinder the production of more battle droids.
Upon their arrival, Jedi Generals Ki-Adi Mundi, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Anakin Skywalker — along with the latter two's apprentices, Jarik Shan and Ahsoka Tano respectively — launched a three pronged attack to form their staging area. After establishing the landing zone, the Republic forces recuperated and managed to destroy the deflector shield protecting the droid factories allowing clone reinforcements under the command of Jedi Master Luminara Unduli and her Padawan Barriss Offee to arrive.
