The battle takes place in the Season 2 episodes, "Grievous Intrigue" and "The Deserter."

## History

### Background

It all started when General Grievous and the Separatist Droid Army attacked a Republic Cruiser that was commanded by Jedi Master, Eeth Koth. While Eeth Koth's Clone Squad tried their best to fight them off they were no match against General Grievous and the Droid Army so Eeth Koth ordered them to evacuate to the escape pods while he dealt with Grievous. But then General Grievous and the Droid Army got into the main bridge of the Republic Cruiser with some Commando Droids and fought off Eeth Koth and some of the Clone Troopers on the bridge. While the Clone Troopers got killed by the Commando Droids, Eeth Koth was able to defeat them all but then some Bodyguard Droids came to the bridge and surrounded Eeth Koth. He then fought off against General Grievous but was eventually defeated and captured by Grievous with help from the Bodyguard Droids. Afterwards, Grievous made a transmission call to the Jedi Council telling them that he had captured Eeth Koth and that he would continue to make him suffer. The Jedi all agreed to rescue him but they didn't know where Grievous was keeping him until Commander Wolffe discovered something in the transmission. Which was Eeth Koth sending out a message using hand signals while being tortured by Grievous and the Bodyguard Droids which were coordinates to where Grievous is keeping him which is in the Saleucami System. Afterwards, the Jedi send a Republic fleet to the Saleucami System to rescue Eeth Koth from the Separatists with Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Jedi Master, Adi Gallia volunteering to go and lead the fleet along with their Clone Squads.

### The Battle

When they head for the Saleucami System, Obi-Wan discusses his plan with Anakin, Gallia, and Captain Rex where he and his Clone Squad will engage the Separatist fleet then he will send Anakin, Gallia, and Captain Rex the coordinates for General Grievous' Separatist command ship. Obi-Wan also plans to get General Grievous aboard his Republic Cruiser by using their past battle history to lure him aboard so Obi-Wan can fight him off and try to capture him while Anakin, Gallia, Captain Rex, Rex's Clone Squad board Grievous' Separatist Command ship on a shuttle to rescue Eeth Koth. Meanwhile, General Grievous and his Separatist fleet arrive at the Saleucami System with Grievous ordering his Tactical Droid to prepare the fleet for landing on the planet, Saleucami. But then the Republic fleet arrives which was all part of Grievous' plan to lure them out so he can destroy them. Obi-Wan speaks to General Grievous through a video screen telling him that he is here to bring him in so General Grievous prepares his fleet to attack the Republic fleet with Grievous planning to draw in Obi-Wan so he can kill him. Back at the Republic fleet, Obi-Wan tells Admiral Yularen to keep the Separatist fleet occupied so Anakin, Gallia, and Captain Rex can arrive on Grievous' command ship undetected. The Republic fleet fights off the Separatist fleet just as Commander Cody gets the coordinates for Grievous' command ship which he sends to Obi-Wan who later sends them to Anakin, Gallia, and Captain Rex. During the battle, General Grievous orders the Battle Droids on board his command ship to bring in Obi-Wan's Republic Cruiser with a tracker beam and to prepare a boarding party for when they get onto it. After getting caught in the tracker beam, Obi-Wan tells his Clone Squad to allow the tracker beam to grab them in order to create a diversion for Anakin, Master Gallia, and Captain Rex. Who arrive at the battle and infiltrate General Grievous' command ship underneath it with the shuttle then when they get into the command ship, Anakin orders Rex and his Squad to guard the hallways while Gallia finds out that Eeth Koth is on the bridge of the command ship so she and Anakin both go there to get him. General Grievous then boards Obi-Wan's Republic Cruiser with some Commando Droids where Obi-Wan, Commander Cody, and Cody's Clone Squad fight them off. Obi-Wan then fights off General Grievous with two Bodyguard Droids surrounding them but Obi-Wan is able to destroy the Bodyguard Droids and prepares to face Grievous who is aware of Obi-Wan's plan. Back on Grievous' command ship, Anakin and Gallia fight off some Battle Droids and Super Battle Droid then make it to the bridge where they are confronted by Grievous' Tactical Droid and some Commando Droids. The Tactical Droid reveals that Grevious was aware of their plan then it tortures Eeth Koth and threatens Anakin and Gallia that if they come closer it will continue to torture Eeth Koth until he dies. But Anakin uses the Force to bring the Tactical Droid closer to him, cuts off its arm, and he and Gallia fight off the Commando Droids while the Tactical Droid tries to get its arm back. The Tactical Droid is able to get its arm back but it cannot use it to kill Eeth Koth which allows Anakin to destroy it and save Eeth Koth with Gallia. Meanwhile, Obi-Wan continues to fight off General Grievous but then Grievous tries to escape the Republic Cruiser and get back to his command ship. So Anakin decides to help Eeth Koth back to the shuttle while Gallia goes to stop General Grievous then Obi-Wan has Commander Cody and his Clone Squad try to detach the Republic Cruiser and hold General Grievous off so he can't return back to the command ship. But Grievous is able to evade the Clone Troopers and orders the Battle Droids on his command ship to attack Obi-Wan's Republic Cruiser starting with the engines. Even though it's still attached to his command ship, Grievous orders the Droid Army on it to evacuate and prepare for landing on Saleucami. Obi-Wan's Clone Squad still tries to stop General Grievous from escaping while Anakin and his Clone Squad leave his command ship with Eeth Koth on the shuttle. But Grievous makes it back to his command ship with Obi-Wan, Commander Cody, and Cody's Clone Squad following him but because of the damage done to the Republic Cruiser, General Grievous is able to escape back to the command ship. But then Gallia fights off Grievous until the docking tube connecting both Grevious' command ship and Obi-Wan's Republic Cruiser breaks which causes Gallia, Obi-Wan, and his clone Squad to be sucked into space. But Gallia is able to save Obi-Wan, Commander Cody, and one Clone Trooper by getting them onto the command ship while Grievous gets away. After they are saved, Obi-Wan still wants to go after Grievous but Gallia tells him that they all have to leave. So Obi-Wan calls Anakin about how they can escape the command ship with Anakin telling them that they all should get to a large hangar so he can pick them up with the shuttle. They are all able to escape on the shuttle but General Grievous and some of the Droid Army are able to escape into a landing craft but after Obi-Wan's Republic Cruisers gets destroyed some of the debris hits their landing craft causing it to lose control. This forces General Grievous and the Droid Army to get into escape pods of the landing craft which crash land on Saleucami. When Admiral Yularen reports it to Obi-Wan, he, Captain Rex, Commander Cody, and their Clone Sqauds will go to search for General Grievous on Saleucami with AT-TE Walkers. While Anakin and Gallia stay with the rest of the Republic fleet with Eeth Koth and the rest of the Clone Troopers.

The escape pod containing General Grievous and some Battle Droids lands safely on Saleucami with Grievous declaring that they must find another escape pod so they can get off Saleucami before the Republic could find them. While Obi-Wan leads a squad of Clone Troopers with AT-TE Walkers to hunt down General Grievous. Meanwhile, General Grievous is informed by one of the Battle Droids that their transmitter was destroyed so they can't contact the rest of the Separatist fleet and that there is only one escape pod that survived the crash while all the other escape pods were destroyed. So General Grievous leads the remaining Battle Droids to go find the other escape pod to use its transmitter to contact the Separatist fleet and get off Saleucami. With Grevious riding on a Reek and the Battle Droids using Eopies to carry their supplies but while they are walking, some of the Battle Droids start to get weak, and lose power. Meanwhile, Obi-Wan and the Clone Troopers find General Grievous' landing craft but all the Battle Droids that were still on board it are all destroyed and it's still warm. So Obi-Wan decides to split the Clone Troopers up into two teams to find General Grievous with Captain Rex, Jesse, Kix, and Hardcase searching the wetlands on Speeder Bikes while he, Commander Cody, and Crys will search the dry lands on foot. Obi-Wan also tells Captain Rex that if he gets a visual on Grievous then he is to contact him and his group before engaging. Obi-Wan and his group search the remains of the Battle Droids to get some intel and manage to find one that is still intact within one of the escape pods. They take the Battle Droid back to the AT-TE Walkers where they probe its mind and discover the location of one of the other escape pods. Meanwhile, Captain Rex and his group are attacked by two Commando Droids who injure Rex but Jesse and Hardcase are able to fight them off and beat them with their Speeder Bikes then go to get Rex some help after discovering that they are on farmland when noticing how the Eopies around them are domesticated. They are able to find a farmer who is a Twi'lek named Suu along with her children, Shaeeah and Jek who lets the Clone Troopers use her barn for Kix to heal up Rex for the night. Then Jesse, Kix, and Hardcase leave to continue to find General Grievous with Captain Rex leaving Jesse in command of them. Obi-Wan and his group then find the escape pod that had General Grievous but it's empty so they go to find the last one and contact Rex's squad about it so they can all meet up at it. While Grievous and the Battle Droids continue to make their way there to the escape pod at night but some of the Battle Droids keep losing power and shutting down. Back at Suu's farm, Rex meets Suu's husband, Cut who is a deserter Clone who decided to leave the Republic and the Clone Wars after the Battle of Geonosis. Eventually, General Grievous and the Battle Droids make it to the escape pod where Grievous orders the Battle Droids to send out a signal to the Separatist fleet but then finds out that both Clone Trooper groups are coming for them. Obi-Wan and his group arrive and then fight off General Grievous and the Battle Droids with the AT-TE-Tanks while Grievous waits for a shuttle to pick them up. When it does, Obi-Wan orders the Clone Troopers to try and shoot down the shuttle but they keep missing it. Then Jesse, Kix, and Hardcase arrive on their Speeder Bikes to help out Obi-Wan who later fights off against General Grievous but then Grievous attaches a grappling hook onto the shuttle and escapes while the other Battle Droids are defeated. Meanwhile, After Rex has dinner with Cut and his family and spends some time with them, Shaeeah and Jek go out into the fields and find another escape pod. When they go inside, they accidentally activate all of the Commando Droids that are in it which chase after them. The Commando Droids then attack the farmhouse but Cut and Rex fight them off and defeat them before they could hurt Cut's family.

### Aftermath

With General Grievous gone, Obi-Wan has the Clone Trooper call the Republic fleet for a pick up then Captain Rex leaves the farm on an Eopie to join up with Obi-Wan and the rest of the Clone Troopers after fully recovering but decides not to report Cut to the Republic.
