The **Civil War of Mon Cala** (also known as the **Battle of Mon Cala**) was a huge battle/civil war from *Star Wars: The Clones Wars*. It deals with the Mon Calamari and the Quarren on the water planet, Mon Cala going to war with each other after the death of their King. The battle takes place in the Season 4 episodes, "Water World," "Gungan Attack," and "Prisoners."

## History

### Background

It all started after the ruler of Mon Cala, King Yos Kolina was secretly murdered by the Karkarodon Separatist commander, Riff Tamson without anyone knowing. As a result of the King's death, his son, Prince Lee-Char became the new ruler of Mon Cala. However, while his people the Mon Calamari accepted Lee-Char as their leader the Quarren did not claiming that he was too young to rule them and that a Quarren should be the new King. Anakin and Senator Padme were then sent to Mon Cala to settle the dispute for the Republic after receiving a call from Captain Akbar of the Mon Calamari but the Quarren called Riff Tamson as an Ambassador and observer for the Separatists to help them which allowed the Quarren led by Nossor Ri who was a friend of King Yos Kolina to declare war on the Mon Calamari.

### The Battle

As of result of the Civil War, Anakin, Padme, and Captain Akbar call the Jedi Council to help stop it so they send a Republic fleet consisting of Jedi Master, Kit Fisto, Ahsoka Tano, and their Clone Squads to come help them and support the Mon Calamari. They also tell Captain Akbar to gather up the Mon Calamari troops to prepare for a Quarren assault then he is ordered by the Mon Cala Senator Mena Tills to protect Prince Lee-Char so he can command the Mon Calamari military in the war. However, the Separatists send an army of Aqua Droids to support Commander Riff Tamson and the Quarren which arrive on Trident Assault Ships under orders from Count Dooku. Prince Lee-Char tries to call a meeting with the Mon Calamari to negotiate peace with the Quarren claiming that they will not attack but the Quarren do attack the Mon Calamari with the Aqua Droids led by Commander Tamson. To protect themselves, the Mon Calamari try fighting back with Prince Lee-Char reluctantly leading them so he orders the Mon Calamari to hold the line against the Quarren but Anakin insists that the Prince be protected until their reinforcements arrive. However, Lee-Char decides to stay with his people and has Captain Akbar press the attack against the Quarren. During which, both sides lose some soldiers with Riff Tamson attacking the Mon Calamari with his teeth then Prince Lee-Char comes up with a plan to get some Mon Calamari troops behind the Aqua Droids using a shortcut in the travel tubes. But before Lee-Char, Anakin, Padme, and the Mon Calamari troops can get through the travel tubes to the Aqua Droids, the travel tube leading to them gets destroyed which kills the Mon Calamari troops and forces Lee-Char, Anakin, and Padme to wait for their reinforcements. Soon the Republic fleet arrives on Mon Cala then Kit Fisto, Ashoka, and their Clone Squads all dive into the water from gunships and help the Mon Calamari fight off the Quarren and the Aqua Droids which allows the Mon Calamari to get the upper hand. Padme then leaves to find Senator Tills while Anakin stays to protect the Prince but during the fight, Anakin loses his helmet while fighting off some Quarren troops and is about to drown until Ahsoka helps him get it back. Padme then calls Anakin to help her and Senator Tills at the base of the palace so he leaves Ahsoka to protect Prince Lee-Char in his absence. Ahsoka then saves Lee-Char before Riff Tamson can get him then they try to escape with Tamson chasing after them so they go into the travel tubes with Tamson banging into them and Aqua Droids going after Ahsoka and Prince Lee-Char through the other way. Ahsoka manages to destroy the Aqua Droids but Tamson still bangs into the travel tubes and manages to get his head in. Some Mon Calamari Soldiers try to stop him but get killed by him in the process which allows Ahsoka and Prince Lee-Char to escape to safety. The Aqua Droids and the Quarren then escape back to ships to plan another attack but then the Aqua Droids head for the surface and Tamson has a Separatist fleet bring in some extra reinforcements from his home world, Karkaris in the form of Hydroid Medusas which are jellyfish-like creatures that are half machine and half monster. Meanwhile, Senator Tills thinks the Quarren will surrender but Prince Lee-Char knows that the Quarren won't with both Anakin and Captain Akbar believing that they will launch another assault. Then the Republic and the Mon Calamari find the Hydroid Medusas and fight them off with Prince Lee-Char leading them but they soon get outgunned by them and some Aqua Droids so the Republic and the Mon Calamari all retreat into the caves to plan their next move while some of their surviving troops get captured by both the Separatists and the Quarren.

With Prince Lee-Char's disappearance, the Separatists and the Quarren take control of Mon Cala, and Count Dooku orders Commander Riff Tamson and Nossor Ri to put all the Mon Calamari captured Clone Troopers into slave camps below the city to crush their hope so they don't fight back against them. Especially since they all believe that Prince Lee-Char is dead then Count Dooku sends in some more reinforcements for Tamson. Meanwhile, the Republic tries calling the Jedi Council for more reinforcements since both the Clone Troopers and Mon Calamari Soldiers were captured. However, they can't get a good signal from under the water but manage to tell them about their problem. Anakin then suggests that they all get to the surface and leave Mon Cala on their ship but Lee-Char doesn't want to leave his people to die. However, he eventually decides to go with Anakin's plan anyway after being convinced they if they all stay they will all die. Meanwhile on Coruscant, the Jedi Council thinks about sending in another Clone Squad to help out but it would take days for them to arrive so they decide to send in the Gungans from Naboo to help them which is close to Mon Cala. Back at Mon Cala, Kit Fisto tries to distract the Quarren troops and get a mini-sub for the Republic to reach the surface. When he does, he frees his captured Clone Squad, fights off the Quarren, and allows the rest of the group to move up to the surface but Tamson and Nossor Ri are reported about the group's plan by a Quarren Soldier so Tamson comes up with a trap to stop them. When the Republic reaches the surface and the ship, Tamson has the Quarren destroy it, and then the Aqua Droids arrive to attack them. While fighting off the Quarren and the Aquad Droid, the Republic grabs onto some of the ship debris to move below the water to safety. After reuniting with Kit Fisto, Captain Akbar decides that they all must split up to hide Prince Lee-Char's whereabouts who also agrees. With Ashoka, Prince Lee-Char, Kit Fisto, and his Clone Squad going one way, and Anakin, Padme, Captain Ackbar, and Senator Tills going the other way which allows them all to escape the Quarren and Aqua Droids. Meanwhile, Yoda calls the Gungans on Naboo to help the Republic on Mon Cala with Senator Jar Jar Binks convincing them all and their leader, Boss Lyonie to. Back on Mon Cala, Ahsoka's group retreats to a cave and has the Clone Troopers keep a look out but then they find the Quarren escorting both Mon Calamari and the other Clone Troopers to become slaves since Mon Cala is now under the Separatist and Count Dooku's rule. Meanwhile, Anakin's group tries to sabotage the Mon Cala's sensors so the Separatists won't detect their reinforcements when they come. Anakin uses the Force to take down a sensor building but the Aqua Droids find him and his group and attack them. As a result of it, Commander Riff Tamson gathers up some Quarren Guards to find Anakin's group and has the Hydroid Medusas surround them. Meanwhile, Prince Lee-Char leaves the cave hideout and blows a horn which alerts the Mon Calamari prisoners that he is alive and gives them hope but it also alerts the Aqua Droids. But then the Gungans led by Jar Jar arrive on Mon Cala on a Republic Cruiser and dive down into the water just in time to help them out where they fight off both the Quarran Soldiers and the Aqua Droids and even save Anakin's group from the Hydroid Medusas. Ahsoka's group also fights off the Quarren Soldiers and Aqua Droids to free the Mon Calamari prisoners but then Nossor Ri tells Tamson that Republic reinforcements have arrived and states that they must retreat. But an Aqua Droid reports to Tamson about the two groups' locations so Tamson sends the Trident Assault Ship reinforcements that Count Dooku sent to attack the groups and their Gungan reinforcements and to find Prince Lee-Char which are piloted by Battle Droids. During which, Tamson is able to find Lee-Char and tries to attack him but is held off by Ahsoka and Kit Fisto who protect Lee-Char from him and the Aqua Droids. During which, Prince Lee-Char manages to escape with Ahsoka but everyone else is defeated and captured by the Separatists.

Both groups and the Gungans are escorted with both the Mon Calamari and Clone Trooper prisoners into the slave camps with Anakin, Padme, Kit Kisto, and Jar Jar being escorted to Commander Riff Tamson. He has the Quarren put both Padme and Jar Jar in restraints while they put Anakin and Kit Fisto within cages of Mon Cala Eels so Tamson can interrogate them on the Prince's whereabouts but they refuse to answer so Tamson has the Quarren torture them by getting them shocked by the Mon Cala Eels. Meanwhile, Prince Lee-Char and Ahsoka come up with a plan to stop the Separatists and reunite the Mon Calamari and the Quarren. Which they decide to do by gathering up all the prisoners in the slave camps to help them fight off the Separatists with help from Captain Ackbar. Tamson and Nossor Ri then report to Count Dooku about the interrogation then Tamson's own Karkarodon Soldiers arrive to help find Prince Lee-Char, despite Nossor Ri's claims to Count Dooku that the Quarren have now already won the war. Ahsoka and Prince Lee-Char infiltrate the slave camps where they meet the prisoners and Lee-Char gives them hope then with help from Commander Monnk, they meet up with Captain Ackbar and Senator Mills. Lee-Char tells them of their plan to fight off the Separatists with help from all the prisoners and the Quarren but Captain Ackbar is against it since the Quarren betrayed the Mon Calamari and believe that they killed King Yos Kolina. But Prince Lee-Char and Ahsoka claim that Commander Riff Tamson killed King Yos Kolina and that he and Count Dooku are just using the Quarren then they plan to find Nossor Ri and convince him of Tamson's treachery. So Captain Ackbar, Senator Mills, and Commander Monnk will gather up all the prisoners to help them defeat the Separatists and Tamson with a Quarren attacking the Separatists first as the signal that they will all fight back against the Sepratists. However, the Prince is soon discovered by an Aqua Droid who calls others Aqua Droids in the slave camps to surround them. Ahsoka prepares to fight them off but Lee-Char requests the Aqua Droids to see their superiors so the Aqua Droids take both Lee-Char and Ahsoka prisoner and take them to Tamson. Meanwhile, Tamson still tries to get Anakin and Kit Fisto to tell them where Prince Lee-Char is but when they still refuse to, Tamson breaks Padme's helmet with his mouth which causes it to leak in water that will eventually drown her to to get them to talk. Then when Prince Lee-Char and Ahsoka's capture and Lee-Char's request are reported to Tamson, he orders them to be taken to the throne room to announce his rulership as the new King of Mon Cala to them, something that Nossor Ri wasn't aware of. After Tamson and Nossor Ri leave the room and Tamson leaves Padme to drown, Kit Fisto tells Anakin to use the Force to make an air bubble around Padme to save her. But soon loses his concentration after getting shocked by the electric eels so Jar Jar seals up the cracks on Padme's helmet with his mucus. When Prince Lee-Char and Ahsoka are brought before Tamson by his Karkarodon Soldiers, Lee-Char demands the freedom of his people but Tamson claims that all the people of Mon Cala are his slaves. Prince Lee-Char then states that Tamson's rule is not recognized and that the Quarren are his people too. Prince Lee-Char also claims that the Quarren are slaves too but they just don't see it. He also tries to get Nossor Ri to help him out and reveals to him about Tamson and Dooku's plot to exploit Mon Cala. Lee-Charr even claims that he gives the people of Mon Cala hope to fight as long as he lives so Tamson prepares to have Prince Lee-Char publicly executed and brings all the prisoners out to watch including Ahsoka, Anakin, Padme, Kit Fisto, and Jar Jar. But just when Lee-Char is about to be executed by the Karkarodon Soldiers, he is saved by Nossor Ri after being convinced by him and has the Quarren help the prisoners escape and fight off the Separatists alongside them for Prince Lee-Char. During which, Ahsoka regains her Lightsabers from an Aqua Droid and uses them to free Anakin, Padme, Kit Fitso, and Jar Jar but then Tamson sends out more Aqua Droids to stop them but the united fighting of everyone defeats them all and destroys the Trident Assault Ships along with the Battle Droids in them. But Tamson attacks them and uses Explosive Knives on some Mon Calamari, Quarren, and Gungens which kills them by blowing them up. Prince Lee-Char then confronts and fights off Commander Riff Tamson who admits to killing King Yos Kolina but Prince Lee-Char defeats and kills Tamson by using one of his own Explosive Knives against him. Thus, freeing both the Mon Calamari and the Quarren from the Separatists who all pledge their allegiance to him.

### Aftermath

With Commander Riff Tamson dead and the Separatists defeated, Mon Cala is now safe and Mon Calamari and the Quarren are reunited. Nossor Ri then crowns Prince Lee-Char as the new King of Mon Cala. Later on, Captain Ackbar would be promoted to Admiral and fight for the Rebellion after the Republic became the Empire then years later after the Empire was defeated, he would fight for the Resistance against the First Order.
