Battle of Christophsis

*"If you are listening,* Jedi*, you've made a bold move and a grave mistake. I appreciate your decision to face me, ship to ship, to play this little game. It's been so long since I had a worthy opponent."*

## Battle of Christophsis

### Combatants

Galactic Republic vs Confederacy of Independent Systems

### Location

Christophsis

The **Battle of Christophsis** was a large scale battle that occurred in the Clone Wars on the planet Christophsis which held rich resources and a valuable location along the Corellian Run. The Separatists blockaded the planet, a blockade lead by Admiral Trench, while General Whorm Loathsom lead the ground assault capture of the capital city Chaleydonia. The Republic sent Jedi Generals Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi to recapture the planet and break the blockade. The battle saw the believed death of Admiral Trench, only for him to resurface again years later. Anakin was also introduced to his new apprentice; Ahsoka Tano.

## Prelude

#### Previous: Kidnapping of Rotta the Hutt

The Clone Wars had broken out across the galaxy, with both sides sending their forces across the galaxy to capture star systems and rally them to their side. They fought over resources and tactical locations throughout the galaxy. Admiral Yularen had been persuaded to rejoin the Republic Navy as as Admiral for the war effort by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, after over 10 years of retirement in which he joined the Senate Bureau of Intelligence after being haunted by the Battle of Malastare Narrows. Obi-Wan Kenobi had also given in a request for a new Padawan learner. Mace Windu and Master Yoda appointed the role to young Ahsoka Tano, however instead of assigning her to Master Kenobi, she was given specific instruction to become the apprentice of Master Skywalker.

With the Separatists having claimed most of the hyperspace lanes that lead to their control of passages out of the Core Worlds, lawlessness erupted in the Outer Rim. Dooku kidnapped the son of Jabba the Hutt, framing the guilt onto an opposing pirate gang. Dooku plotted to return Rotta to Jabba under the guise of Separatist good will and victory in finding the child, thus earning the Hutt's favor in the Outer Rim which would provide invaluable advantage in that region of space. Hutt gave out a call for aid that was heard also by the Republic. The Chancellor decided to send Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker on the mission to recover Jabba's son and secure the Outer Rim for the Republic. As Mace Windu and Master Yoda sent Ahsoka Tano to Christophsis where she would meet her new master Skywalker, she was also given information to give Obi-Wan and Anakin their new mission brief to rescue Rotta the Hutt.

##### Invasion of Christophsis

One such planet that became subject to warfare early in the war due to its valuable resources and a strategic position along the Corellian Run was Christophsis. Count Dooku sent General Whorm Loathsom to oversee an occupation of the planet, giving the Confederacy forces an edge in battle across the Corellian Run. Dooku also sent his acolyte Asajj Ventress to the planet to aid in the ground assault. The Separatists invaded the planet, fighting the Christophsian rebels that tried to protect their homeworld. The Separatists captured the capital city of Chaleydonia. Once the Separatists had occupied the planet, they set up a blockade that was lead by Admiral Trench, who was previously believed to be destroying during the Battle of Malastare Narrows.

In response to the Separatist invasion on Christophsis, the Republic sent relief efforts to the planet with Senator Bail Organa. As the invasion intensified the Republic forces became trapped and stranded in the eastern exurbs of the capital. Their supplies slowly depleted and the people of Christophsis formally requested aid from the Republic. The Republic dispatched Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker aboard the *Negotiator* to break the blockade and grant Bail Organa's relief team with further supplies.

## Recount

#### Open Battle

Skywalker and Admiral Yularen arrived above Christophsis just as Senator Bail Organa's position was overrun and his resources ran dry. The Jedi Knight made contact with the Senator, learning that his time runs short Skywalker engaged the Separatist defenses despite Obi-Wan Kenobi's orders not to. Skywalker commanded the Republic fleet from his ship the *Resolute,* facing against Trench's fleet consisting of at least twenty-three *Munificent*-class star frigates, at least six *Lucrehulk*-class Battleships, and Trench's *Providence*-class Dreadnought, the *Invincible.* The Confederacy ships quickly overpowered the Republic advance. Trench rushed forward in the *Invincible*, firing all forward cannons to separate the supply ships from their escorts. Several *Pelta*-class frigates, carrying supplies came under heavy fire. Anakin ordered to overfire the reactors in an attempt to combat the *Resolute*'s advance. At that moment, Jedi General Obi-Wan and Commander Cody entered the battle, exiting hyperspace aboard the *Negotiator* behind the moon Leesis. Obi-Wan was unsurprised to see his old apprentice had already engaged the enemy.

To combat the Republic's challenge, Trench increased power to the forward shields, enabling him to continue his charge with added protection. Obi-Wan contacted his old apprentice, ordering him to withdraw from his advance. He told Anakin that he had brought a new toy for them that could grant them the advantage. Anakin didn't like the idea of retreat, but he conceded once Admiral Yularen respectfully agreed with the tactics of Obi-Wan. Anakin broke his advance, covering the supply ships as they retreated to the back of the moon. Admiral Trench did not give chase, instead returning his ship to the blockade where he would remain ready for the Republic's second attack.

##### Stealth Run

Anakin took a *Nu*-class transport to the *Negotiator*, meeting with Obi-Wan to learn about what he had brought. Obi-Wan revealed to Anakin a IPV-2C Stealth Corvette prototype, a ship capable of cloaking itself from visibility and hiding from scanners, making it invisible. Obi-Wan gave Anakin a mercy mission to deliver supplies to the surface of Christophsis where Bail Organa was in desperate need of aid. Anakin was told strictly not to go on the offensive and use the ship to fight the Separatist fleet. Before Anakin's mission began, Admiral Yularen had been searching Republic databases for information after their initial attack run against the blockade had struck him as familiar. Yularen was able to spot the insignia of Admiral Trench. The symbol, combined with the familiar tactics pushed Yularen to believe that Trench had survived their battle at the Battle of Malastare Narrows. He informed Skywalker of his suspicions, allowing them to prepare how best to face the harch admiral. Yularen volunteered his services to General Skywalker as consultant, feeling that although their mission was to deliver supplies and not engage, Yularen was confident that Trench would come for them.

Clone CT-1284, "Spark" was a rookie clone that boarded the ship in the last moments before take off, reporting to Clone Commander "Blackout" to replace a clone who was at the last moment unable to make the lineup. Blackout and Spark made their way to their stations. Once settled Blackout reported to General Skywalker to inform him they were ready to make their run. General Skywalker initiated the mission. The Stealth Corvette took off from the hangar of the *Negotiator,* headed for the Separatist blockade. The cloaking systems of the ship were engaged as they came out from behind the moon. They were able to reach the blockade and fly close beside a *Munificent*-class frigate without detection. TI-99, Trench's tactical droid was unable to calculate why the Republic had not yet emerged from behind Leesis. To try and lure out the Republic from their hiding place behind the moon, Trench sent a platoon of *Hyena*-class bombers to the surface to bomb Senator Organa and put pressure on the rescue mission. General Skywalker had to shut down the Stealth Corvette systems to avoid detection as the bombers passed by overhead, unable to detect the secret stealth run being made. Obi-Wan was alerted to the bombing run made by the *Hyena*-bombers. He informed Anakin that he would use the remaining ships to engage Trench while Skywalker continued his supply run. Knowing that Obi-Wan's tactic would fail and he would be entering a trap, Skywalker ordered his men to prep their proton torpedoes. He knew that the Stealth Corvette provided them with the best opportunity to destroy Trench.

Anakin altered his course, going to face the *Invincible.* He prepared proton torpedoes to fire on the command center. He also prepped to reveal the ship to the Separatists. To fire weapons the Corvette would have to de-cloak.The Corvette lowered it's cloaking shields, revealing itself. It fired a series of torpedoes before immediately re-cloaking and vanishing, just as a return barrage almost hit the ship but was deflected by flares. The Republic attack was also ineffective against the *Invincible*'s thermo-shields. Trench ordered the ship to spray fire at the point the Corvette vanished. As the barrage ended all scans showed it was unsuccessful. Trench learnt from the attack that he was facing a skilled Jedi pilot. He hailed the Republic on an open channel communication to deliver them a warning that he had faced their kind of vessel before. He told them to retreat while they could or he would become their doom. Trench did not actually believe that the Jedi would retreat however, hoping to lure him into another attack in which he would reveal himself. Obi-Wan searched data on Trench, learning that he had indeed faced vessels capable of cloaking themselves before. Anakin determined that the Admiral must be using torpedoes that hunt a magnetic signature of the ship. Anakin was correct. On his second attack run, de-cloaking to fire a barrage of missiles that one again failed to penetrate the shields of the *Invincible*, Trench quickly scanned for the magnetic signature of the Corvette. The *Invincible* had to lower it's own shields to return fire with tracking torpedoes, taking the bait laid by the Jedi. Anakin abandoned the cloaking as the missiles locked onto the ship. He diverted all power to the engines, allowing him to outrun the missiles and lead them straight towards the *Invincible.* Anakin pulled up just in time to avoid charging into the flagship, but allowing the missiles to fly directly into the ship, blowing up the command center and peppering the entire length of the ship as the Corvette flew past on the far side. The *Invincible* was downed as a result of the damage. The Republic fleet was able to begin it's attack on the weakened Separatist blockade. Anakin was able to complete his mission, flying down to Chaleydonia where they landed and successfully gave the supplies carried aboard the Corvette to Senator Bail Organa.

##### Ground Assault

Obi-Wan and the Republic fleet was able to break the Separatist blockade and make their way to the surface where ground assaults began across the city Chaleydonia. Kenobi and Skywalker regrouped on the surface with Cody and Rex where they plotted their best strategic options. They began plans for an ambush on a battalion of droids lead by tactical droid TJ-55. Meanwhile, Admiral Yularen returned to the Republic Navy where he continued to fight against the remnant Separatist ships. The Republic set up a base on the planet outside the city Chaleydonia where they placed barracks for the clones and strategy war rooms for the Generals and Commanders. The Separatists had a similar set-up. A Clone Sergeant "Slick", who had seen the Jedi in action at the First Battle of Geonosis had become disillusioned with the war. He considered his clone allies his brothers and sought freedom for himself and his brothers from servitude in the name of the Clone War. In an attempt to bring about an end to the war quickly, Slick began feeding information to Asajj Ventress at the Separatist base on Christophsis. She offered Slick money for his allegiance to the Separatists, however he turned it down. Slick alerted Ventress to the plot by the Jedi to ambush TJ-55's droid battalion.

##### Ambush on an Ambush

Obi-Wan and Commander Cody positioned themselves in a south tower overlooking the ambush position while Skywalker and Rex were stationed with their men in the north tower opposite. Having had their plan compromised by Slick however, the battalion split up which confused the clones waiting in the towers. Suddenly, B1 battle droids arrived in a turbolift on the floor of the south tower where the Jedi and his clones waited to ambush. A blaster fight broke out in the building between the clones and the droids. As Obi-Wan ignited his saber and defended his men he called for a mission abort. Anakin Skywalker smashed the south facing windows of his tower allowing Captain Rex's men to fire cables that carried them to travel across to the other building and provide aid to Obi-Wan. Skywalker called upon Clone Pilot "Hawk" for an evacuation on the rooftop of the south tower. As General Skywalker's men crossed between the buildings, the droids on the ground fired upwards at them, knocking a clone and causing him to fall to his death. The Republic forces were able to fend off the ambush of the battle droids in an intense and claustrophobic fire fight as Anakin's troops support Kenobi's. Obi-Wan threw a Republic cannon at the droids, stalling their advance for only a moment, enough time to allow the surviving clones and the Jedi to escape into a turbolift.

The turbolift took them to the roof where they awaited for an evacuation from Hawk. The battle droids began flooding the rooftop, and the clones had to fight for their escape route. TJ-55 also emerged onto the rooftop firing on the clones. Hawk made it to the evac point, allowing the clones to escape onto the LAA/i gunship. In the final moments, clone trooper "Gus" ripped the head off TJ-55 and escaped onto the LAA/i craft to escape alongside the Jedi. Hawk pulled away from the tower, ending the skirmish in the building. As they escaped, Captain Rex took the head of the tactical droid from Gus with hopes that it would provide insight as to how the Separatists knew of their plans.

##### Spy in the Ranks

Within the clone barracks at the Republic base, Rex and Cody investigated the memory banks of TJ-55. They confirmed that the Separatists knew their plans, but the head self-destructed and shut down before they were able to pry deeper. Obi-Wan Kenobi became sure that there must be a spy who was able to access their plans. He ordered the beginning of a confidential mission to Rex and Cody to locate the spy within the Republic base while he and Anakin searched for answers behind enemy lines. As the Jedi Generals left, Cody noticed that a clone comlink had been left on and allowed the spy to listen to every word said in the meeting. As Rex left the war room he spotted a clone loitering in the hallway. Rex and Cody chased the mysterious clone to the mess hall where he effortlessly vanished into the crowd. Rex and Cody were able to confirm to their own horror that the traitorous spy was a brother clone. Cody attempted to warn the Jedi of their discovery however the droids across the city were jamming the communications to the Jedi as they navigated the streets on BARC Speeders. On their own, the Clone leaders used R2-D2 to uncover several external communications that were made from Slick's barracks. They decided that their next stage of the investigation would be interrogation of Slick's men.

The clones went to Slick's barracks and informed him of their suspicions that he denied profusely. As Slick's men entered, Cody lined them up. He told them that they suspected a spy was among them. One by one, the clones defended themselves and their brothers. The clone known as "Chopper" made himself victim to suspicion as he fought to not divulge the information that during the time of a external communication to the Separatists he was putting stolen battle droid fingers on a chain as a war trophy. Stealing the forbidden battlefield items was illegal, which brought Chopper's entire character into question. Chopper turned the questioning toward Slick himself, having seen the Sergeant enter the command center after the ambush. Slick commented that after the Jedi return he would ensure Chopper got a proper investigation. Cody picked up that Slick shouldn't have known that the Jedi were gone unless he had heard them leaving. When he questioned Slick, Slick revealed himself, striking Cody and making an escape. Cody and Rex chased after the traitor into the yards that held the Republic vessels of war. As they searched for him, Slick detonated several fail safe explosives he had hidden across the base, destroying vehicles such as the LAA/i gunships and AT-TEs. He also destroyed the clone weapons depot.

The Jedi were able to notice as they navigated the city on their speeders that they were being watched by droid battalions. They noted that the fact they had not been attacked suggested they were getting closer to the Separatist base where a trap awaited them. Eventually the reached the Separatist headquarters temporary base, parking their speeders outside. They were able to enter easily as the base had been left unguarded and un-barricaded. They searched the grounds until they were found by Asajj Ventress who loitered in the shadows. She revealed herself to the Jedi, igniting her sabers and preparing to kill them. The Jedi ignited their own sabers and entered into a duel with the dark acolyte. Ventress fled from the Jedi, managing to vanish for a moment. She waited for the Jedi to catch up to her as she was sat down on the floor. As the Jedi approached she ignited her sabers into the floor, causing it to shatter and allow the Jedi to fall through into the level below. She told the Jedi that by being away from the Republic base for so long they had already served their purpose. The Jedi leapt back up, chasing Ventress out onto a balcony where they were able to see a full scale Separatist invasion force, equipped with numerous C-9979 landing crafts. Ventress leapt onto the head of an Octuptarra tri-droid which had scaled the outside of the building. The Jedi chased after the dark assassin, leaping onto the Octuptarra and severing it's legs attached to the building causing it to fall. The Jedi leapt from the falling droid onto passing by STAPs, taking them back to the Republic base.

Cody and Rex were informed by clones that they had witnessed Slick entering the command center. They chased him to the location, entering on high alert. They noticed that Slick was hiding in the vents above the central terminal. They silently plotted with one another to lure Slick out of the vents, luring him into attacking Cody and thus revealing himself. Cody left his blaster empty on the central terminal with his back turned while Rex pretended to leave. As Slick emerged from the vents and stole Cody's weapon, Rex returned and arrested the Sergeant. As the Jedi returned from the Separatist base they were presented with the traitor in handcuffs. As Slick was taken away to lockup, Cody revealed that all they could save from the weapons depot was the heavy cannons.

##### Battle in Chaleydonia

Soon after the Republic had recovered what they could from Slick's betrayal, General Loathsom launched his attack in the city on Chaleydonia, met by the might of the Republic. The Separatist army consisted of B1 and B2 battle droids and three Octuptarra tri-droids on the front lines, with AATs following behind in large numbers. The Jedi lead their clones into battle, where their victory seemed all too easy. Seconds into a moment of reprieve, Anakin spotted more Separatist forces advancing their position. Obi-Wan Kenobi and his forces with Cody lead a head-on assault against the Separatist army on the ground while Anakin and his group followed him to a rooftop from which he could leap down onto an advancing Octuptarra droids. Rex and company used jetpacks to flower onto the ground, firing at the Octuptarra droids and flank the battle droids that were now facing a charge by Obi-Wan and his clones. The Jedi unleashed an intense assault on the droid army, thinning their numbers quickly. From atop the Octuptarra droid, Anakin goaded the others to fire at one another, leaping from one to another. Eventually, all Octuptarra droids were felled. The heavy cannons turned their fire to the AAT tanks that approached behind as the clones finished off the remnants of the droid army. The heavy cannon fire caused the tanks to cease their advance. General Loathsom called for an end to their attack and a deployment of their shields, entering a next stage of battle. The droids entered a retreat away. The Jedi had defeated the next wave of the battle.

##### A New Apprentice

As the Jedi celebrated their small victory and the clones began to recover and prepare for the next engagement, Ahsoka Tano approached the battlefront in a *Nu*-class transport. Her ship lowered into the rubble. As she disembarked she was immediately met by Anakin and Obi-Wan. She informed them of her orders from Master Yoda to inform them of their call to return to the Jedi Temple to face the emergency of the kidnapping of Rotta the Hutt. Anakin and Obi-Wan rebutted that they were needed on Christophsis. Ahsoka told them they may be able to tell Yoda that they were in need to reinforcements by sending a signal through the cruiser that had just transported her. The Jedi did so, alerting a communications officer aboard the cruiser in the atmosphere above Christophsis that they must speak with the Jedi Council. They were successfully patched through to Yoda, alerting him that they were desperately overrun. Obi-Wan told him that neither he nor Anakin were in a position to abandon the battlefront. Yoda informed Obi-Wan that he would send reinforcements before the transmission cut out as the shuttle was forced to leave the Christophsis orbit to avoid destruction. Knowing they would need to hold out for a while longer, Obi-Wan made proper introductions between himself, Anakin and Ahsoka. Ahsoka revealed to the Jedi that she had been assigned to Anakin Skywalker. Anakin protested, much to Obi-Wan's amusement. Anakin left to check on the battlements, taking his new apprentice with him. Anakin went to check with Rex on the situation of the Separatist movements, learning that they were gearing up for another assault. Rex was surprised to see Anakin with a youngling. Ahsoka introduced herself to the clone captain, defending herself against the "Skyguy's" protests that she wasn't his apprentice. Anakin left his apprentice with Rex, who discussed war ranks and experience. Ahsoka spotted the advancing Separatists covered by a shield dome.

##### Final Wave

The Jedi held a strategic meeting with Captain Rex a means of breaking through the shield to combat the battle droid army effectively. Ahsoka Tano observed the wartime conversation. Captain Rex noted that their heavy cannons would be useless against the Separatist shield. Obi-Wan suggested luring the droids inside the buildings of the city where they could reach the droids to fight back. Ahsoka asked why they wouldn't just try to disarm the shield. Anakin for once agreed with her. Obi-Wan allowed Anakin and his new apprentice to venture beyond enemy lines to reach and destroy the shield generator before the droid army reach the Republic heavy cannons and destroy them. On Coruscant, General Wurtz was called upon by Mace Windu with a fleet of three star destroyers to aid Obi-Wan in the hopes that his aid would speed along the Republic victory and allow the Jedi to investigate the kidnapping of Rotta the Hutt. Yoda went with the fleet to Christophsis. Ahsoka tried with excitement to come up with a plan to help her and Anakin get past enemy lines, all of which Anakin shut down. She took her first lesson from Anakin as to sit in silence while he made the plan. Within a second, Anakin had made said plan.

Obi-Wan and Captain Rex began their assault on the advancing droid army, using their heavy cannons to pepper fire across the shield, without much affect. Seeing that it was useless, Obi-Wan called off the attack. Anakin and Ahsoka meanwhile had hidden themselves underneath a rubble box in the road, allowing the shield and droid army to pass over and past them. So too did Obi-Wan and his forces of clones. They held their position and allowed the shield to pass over them. Once inside the shield they launched an attack on the army. Obi-Wan leapt into the droid platoons, cutting down the B2 Super Battle Droids. Clones had given themselves the high ground position, waiting in buildings that surrounded the street overlooking skirmish. They used zip-lines to travel down to the battle area, firing down from above. Kenobi's clones were forced into retreating into the buildings for cover. Anakin and Ahsoka successfully flanked the Separatist droid army, distanced enough to safely drop their cover. They immediately hover bumped into a droideka. They dealt with the threat together.

The Separatist droid army had decimated most of Captain Rex's forces who were unable to stall the droid army advance. Obi-Wan called for Rex and his men to retreat to the heavy cannons and defend them while he fought off the droids. Very quickly Obi-Wan found himself overrun and surrounded by B2 Battle Droids. He surrendered to General Loathsom, wanting to buy time for Anakin and Ahsoka who at the same time had successfully located the shield generator. Obi-Wan invited Loathsom to meet with him at a table he fashioned out of rubble to discuss the terms of his surrender. Above the planet, Yoda arrived with General Wurtz's fleet. When approaching the shield generator, Ahsoka ran forward without a thought of danger, accidentally triggering a trap releasing hidden LR-57 combat/retail droids from the ground. Anakin dealt with the droids while Ahsoka planted the charges. Ahsoka did so, then saving her master from advancing droids by dropping the remains of a wall on them as they surrounded Anakin. Meanwhile, General Loathsom called out Obi-Wan for stalling and had his droids seize the Jedi. He demanded Obi-Wan call off his clones or face destruction. Ahsoka detonated her charges on the shield generator, bringing down the Separatist shield. Obi-Wan leapt into action, escaping the droids that held him and capturing Loathsom in a headlock, forcing him to call for a ceasefire or risk being shot himself. The clones used their heavy cannons to fire on the Separatist tanks, destroying their forces and turning the tide of the battle.

Above Christophsis, Yularen lead Wurtz's fleet to victory, breaking through the blockade and sending the armada into a retreat. Yularen sent a transmission to Obi-Wan to inform him that his reinforcements were inbound. Moments later Yoda arrived before Obi-Wan aboard a LAA/i gunship to find Obi-Wan having taken General Loathsom prisoner. With the Separatist General in Republic confinement and the new numbers of reinforcements, Republic victory was all but inevitable on Christophsis. Anakin spoke with Ahsoka, saying her recklessness would have cost her her apprenticeship to Obi-Wan, however she might make it as Anakin's apprentice. Together they were picked up by an LAA/i gunship and taken to where Obi-Wan and Yoda oversaw distribution of Republic forces through Chaleydonia. Obi-Wan had informed Yoda of Anakin's displeasure at being assigned a Padawan. Yoda told Anakin that if he was unhappy, perhaps it was possible to transition Ahsoka to Obi-Wan. Anakin protested, saying that with training Ahsoka may amount to something. Pleased, Yoda sent Anakin to Teth to try and recover Jabba the Hutt's kidnapped son while Ob-Wan traveled to Tatooine to negotiate a peace treaty for the Republic with Jabba that would aid their war effort in the Outer Rim.

## Aftermath

#### Next: Battle of Teth

The Republic High Command was able to to use the victory at Christophsis as part of their propaganda to illustrate the power of a Jedi partnered with the clones. The Separatists knew that they were outmatched and thus began developing more biological weaponry to use against the Jedi. The Confederacy was also able to use Obi-Wan's deceptive surrender to General Loathsom as part of their propaganda to turn people against the Jedi, labeling them as liars. All knowledge of Slick's betrayal was covered by the Republic High Command. He was kept in prison for the remaining years of the war. Admiral Trench managed to escape the destruction of his flagship, though he was forced to undergo cybernetic reconstruction to replace several limbs and a part of his head. Loathsom was held in the prison of the Republic Center for Military Operations.
