Assault on Seelos

The **Assault on Seelos** was a short battle from *Star Wars Rebels*. It deals with the Rebels fighting against the Empire on the planet, Seelos with help from their new Clone Trooper allies. The battle takes place in the Season 2 episode, "Relics of the Old Republic."

## History

### Background

It all started when the Rebellion needed more allies to help fight back against the Empire and to set up a new base to hide from them after the Attack on Phoenix Squadron. So Ahsoka decided to get help from an old friend of hers who had great military knowledge and vast knowledge of the outer rim. However, Ahsoka lost touch with him a while back and the transmissions she sent to him were unanswered, but the last place she heard from him was in the Seelos System so the Crew of the Ghost went to check the place out while Ahsoka went to find out about Darth Vader. However, when the Rebels arrived at Seelos System, the Ghost was facing some technical issues with the hyperdrive so Ezra, Kanan, Sabine, and Zeb went to the planet, Seelos in the Ghost's shuttle, the Phantom while Hera stayed in space to fix the hyperdrive with Chopper. With help from the head of an old Tactical Droid Ahsoka gave them, the Rebels were able to find the coordinates of Ahsoka's friend who was Captain Rex of the Clone Army who had been living on Seelos in an old modified AT-TE Walker with two other Clones, Commander Wolffe and Captain Gregor. Kanan was against trusting them because of the events of Order 66 but Ezra was convinced to trust them by orders of Ahsoka so he convinced the other Rebels to do the same. At first, Ezra tried asking Captain Rex to join the Rebellion but he refused, claiming that his days as a soldier were over so Ezra asked him about any potential base location in the outer rim that the Rebellion could use which Rex agreed to give to them. Eventually, the Rebels began to trust and bond with the Clones after helping them catch a Joopa to eat, and in return, the Clones were able to give the Rebels information on any possible base locations in the outer rim for the Rebellion. However, Commander Wolffe had trouble trusting the Jedi so he secretly contacted the Empire about the Rebels who later sent a Probe Droid to investigate Seelos. When it arrived and found the AT-TE Walker, the Probe Droid started stealing information from the Phantom to send to the Empire. During that time, Sabine found out about the contact with the Empire and discovered how Ahsoka sent messages to Captain Rex but never answered her. Commander Wolffe then admitted to Rex about contacting the Empire and withholding Ahsoka's messages to him to protect themselves from the Empire. Fearing that the Empire would've wiped the Clone Troopers out if they found out that they were helping Jedi. Soon Sabine discovered the Probe Droid in the Phantom and warned the others about but It shot one the Phantom's engines and tried to escape but Rex destroyed it with a blaster rifle. However, the Phantom was still damaged so the Rebels couldn't leave Seelos especially since the Empire was now coming for them. The next day, Rebels tried to get the Phantom fixed fast before the Empire arrived but a sandstorm was heading right for them and the Clone Troopers as well while Hera was also still up in space with Chopper in the Ghost fixing the hyperdrive.

### The Battle

But soon the Empire arrives over Seelos in a Star Destroyer and sends a search pattern of TIE Fighters to scout the planet so Hera turns off all the power in the Ghost so they don't detect her including Chopper. Agent Kallus then contacts Commander Wolffe on the AT-TF Walker who wants him to give the Clone Troopers' coordinates so Kallus can investigate the Jedi sightings Wolffe reported but Wolffe tries to play dumb about Jedi being of Seelos to make up for his mistake but Kallus isn't fooled because he has an image of the Phantom on the AT-TE Walker taken from the Probe Droid and orders the Clones to surrender the Rebels or be destroyed but they refuse to. But then one of the TIE Fighters finds both the Rebels and the Clones and attacks them so everyone fights back against it in the AT-TE Walker until Captain Gregor manages to shoot it down with a blaster rifle. However, the Empire soon finds the Rebels' location on the Star Destroyer so Admiral Konstantine suggests attacking them with an orbital bombardment but Agent Kallus decides to attack them with a ground assault using three AT-AT Walkers. When both the Rebels and the Clones notice them, they try to run away into the sandstorm on the At-TE Walker to scramble their scanners and drop the Joopa they caught but the At-AT Walkers fire at them until they eventually lose the Rebels and Clones in the sandstorm but follow them into it. While in the sandstorm, the Rebels and the Clones plan to stop the AT-AT Walkers by shooting them in their necks but the AT-AT Walkers are able to surround the At-TE Walker in the sandstorm, and due to the sandstorm, the Rebels and Clones can't see them. However, Kanan is able to direct them using the Force to avoid the AT-AT Walkers and Ezra is able to use the Force to shoot down one of the AT-AT Walkers in the sandstorm using one of the canons on the AT-TE Walker but in the process, the Rebels and Clones position was now revealed to the other AT-AT Walkers. Meanwhile, back at the Star Destroyer, Admiral Kostantine receives an order from Darth Vader to rendezvous with him at his shuttle so the Star Destroyer leaves Seelos. The AT-TE-Walker is able to get out of the sandstorm, where the Clones tell the Rebels to leave with the base location information now that Sabine has fixed the Phantom. But Ezra doesn't want to leave the Clones behind to fight the AT-AT Walker alone but the Rebels leave anyway so the Clones fight off the other two AT-AT Walkers but in the process, their AT-TE Walker gets destroyed. However, the Rebels come back after being convinced by Ezra and help the out Clones so they use the Phantom to attack and take control of one of the AT-AT Walkers then use it to fight off against the other AT-AT Walker that Agent Kallus is in. Which allows Captain Rex to deliver the final shot to it using the AT-TE Walker thus defeating Agent Kallus and sending him and some Vehicle Command Crewers on the run on a Speeder Bike.

### Aftermath

With their victory, Captain Rex officially joined the Rebellion and happily reunited with Ahsoka after Hera finished fixing the Ghost's hyperdrive for the Rebels to head back to Phoenix Squadron. While Commander Wolffe and Captain Gregor chose to remain on Seelos, took control of the surviving AT-AT Walker the Rebels took over, and made it into their new home after their AT-TE Walker was destroyed which became known as Joopa Base. Meanwhile, Admiral Konstantine met up at the rendezvous point where Darth Vader was supposed to meet him but an Inquisitor named the Fifth Brother arrived on his Star Destroyer in a shuttle instead after being sent by Vader in his place to hunt down the Rebels who would later do it by teaming up with another Inquisitor named the Seventh Sister.
