The Conquest of Raxus Prime was a battle initiated by the Galactic Republic during the War of the Ring, shortly after the First Battle of Isengard.
==Prelude==
Shortly after the Evacuation of Rhen Var, the Republic had scanned some unusual activity on Raxus Prime. The Republic decided to send a strike force led by the Hobbits, Frodo Baggins and Sam Gamgee to check out the activity. Once they arrived, Frodo and Sam went to the surface to scout the area. After they took out an enemy STAP party after a grueling chase through the wastelands, they had found an enemy excavation site and called their assault ship for reinforcements.
==The battle==
Frodo and Sam made an attack on some supply convoys to stall time for their strike force. Once the strike force landed, they fought a treacherous journey filled with traps and surprise attacks, with Frodo protecting a contingent of AT-TEs and Sam single-handedly clearing out a Separatist outpost. When they got to the excavation site, they had their beta forces waiting at the back shield so that they could destroy it. Once they destroyed the main generator to allow the beta forces to enter the battle field, both strike teams attacked and destroyed the remaining defense forces and the lines supplying fuel to the Separatists. However the attack turned out to be an ambush, an assault by a Protodeka destroyed the strike team except for Sam and Frodo.
As the battle weakened, Frodo spotted Saruman the White escaping in a Hardcell-class interstellar transport vehicle and followed him, but he was overpowered by Saruman and Cydon Prax, who incapacitated him. Once Saruman and Prax escaped, the Confederates released their deadly assault machine, the Protodeka. The Protodeka obliterated the strike force, and only Sam survived. Sam single-handedly destroyed the war machine, but Saruman's ship had already left the system with Frodo and his deadly machine as the Republic's reinforcements arrived.
With Prax guarding Frodo, Saruman planned to have the young Hobbit executed. However, his master, Darth Sauron, demanded to keep him alive, for he had "plans" for the Padawan. Saruman obeyed and sent Frodo to Sauron to be subjected to Sauron's agenda. However, Sauron planned for a strike force to rescue Frodo; Sauron allowed Frodo to escape for the sake of Sauron's plan and to keep his true identity unknown. Later, Palpatine had another "meeting" with the young Jedi, strengthening Frodo's suspicions about the Jedi.
