Battle of Anaxes

The Battle of Anaxes was a prolonged engagement that took place on the planet Anaxes during the final year of the Clone Wars, and was considered to be part of the Outer Rim Sieges. Harch Separatist Admiral Trench led an attack on the planet’s shipyards that were instrumental to the Republic’s war effort. Jedi Generals Mace Windu and Anakin Skywalker coordinated the Republic’s counteroffensive. At one point in the Battle, Trench had overrun the shipyards and the Republic was serious danger of losing the planet, due to the use of a strategy algorithm created by Clone Captain Rex extracted from the captured ARC trooper Echo, who was presumed to be killed on Lola Sayu, moreover complicating Jedi Commander Jarik Shan's attempts at decrypting any intercepted transmissions, compelling Windu to call in Jedi Master Taron Malicos for strategic assistance.
Following Echo’s rescue from the Techno Union on Skako Minor, Trench and his forces became unaware of the loss of the asset they had been using to achieve victory, with Foreman and Minister Wat Tambor withholding the information to preserve the Techno Union’s profit margins. With the assistance of Clone Force 99, Echo was able to use Trench’s ignorance of his rescue to manipulate him into a situation where he could send a pulse to deactivate all the planetside battle droids, though Trench concealed explosives in the shipyards powerful enough to destroy most of the planet as a contingency. The swift actions of Echo, Windu, Shan, and Skywalker were able to prevent its detonation. With Trench’s death at Skywalker’s hand and the subsequent destruction of his fleet, the campaign ended in a Republic victory.
