Attack on Kamino

The **Attack on Kamino** (also known as the **Battle of Kamino**) was a huge battle-like attack from *Star Wars: The Clone Wars*. It deals with the Separatists fighting the Republic on the planet, Kamino which is where the Clone Army is made. The battle takes place in the Season 3 episode, "ARC Troopers."

## History

### Background

It all started when General Grievous and Asajj Ventress planned to attack Kamino to destroy the production of Clones for the Republic. To do that, they launched an attack on the Republic outpost on the Moon of the planet, Rishi where General Grievous had Commando Droids infiltrate the outpost and take out all the Clone Troopers there so the Republic wouldn't find out they were coming. Meanwhile, Asajj Ventress was on Kamino spying on the cloning factories to prepare the planet for the attack. However, Captain Rex, Commander Cody, and some new Clone Troopers named Echo, Fives, and Heavy were able to defeat the Commando Droids and take back the outpost. But then General Grievous sent Battle Droids and Super Battle Droids to attack the outpost so Heavy stopped them by blowing up the whole place with Liquid Tibanna at the cost of his own life. This prevented Grievous and Asajj from attacking Kamino then Anakin and Captain Rex recruited both Fives and Echo onto Rex's Clone Squad as a reward for their help. But sometime after that, Grievous and Asajj planned another attack on Kamino with Tipoca City being the main target with help from the information on the Clone DNA and Clone Trooper Barracks Asajj got from the place when she was on Kamino. They planned to attack it with General Grievous leading the attack from above in the sky with a Separatist fleet and Asajj leading the attack from below under the water in her Trident Assault Ship. But the Republic interceptive a transmission call between General Grievous and Asajj Ventress about the attack. Then when both Anakin and Obi-Wan reviewed it on their Republic Cruiser, the Republic found out about their attack on Kamino and prepared to defend it. Anakin and Obi-Wan then went to Kamino with their Clone Squads to protect it and warned the head Kaminoan scientist, Lama Su, and Jedi Master, Shaak Ti about the attack. However, Lama Su wasn't too worried about the attack because they had a huge Republic blockade around Kamino led by Admiral Yularen.

### The Battle

But then General Grievous' Separatist fleet arrives at Kamino and immediately starts attacking the Republic blockade but they are able to warn Tipoca City and everyone prepares to fight off the Separatist fleet. Anakin leads a Republic fleet to help the Republic Blockade fight off the Separatist fleet but General Grievous starts sacrificing some of the Separatist ships in his fleet to protect his own command ship which causes some debris to land in Kamino's ocean. Meanwhile, Asajj Ventress sends out some Aqua Droids from below Tipoca City to assemble some reinforcements which is the debris that the Aqua Droids use to build more Trident Assault Ships. Anakin and his fleet continue to fight off Grievous' fleet but Obi-Wan believes something isn't right and goes into the ocean in a submarine to check the debris and finds the Aqua Droids assembling the Trident Assault Ships for an underwater assault on Tipoca City. Obi-Wan tries to warn Anakin about it but he is attacked by the Aqua Droids who destroy his submarine. But Obi-Wan is able to swim up back to the surface with help from an Aiwha he called using the Force but then he discovers Trident Assault Ships coming out of the water and attacking Tipoca City. He warns Anakin about it who flies right back to Kamino to help while the Clone Troopers try to defend the city where Commander Havoc orders Fives and Echo to go up to the bridge for a sniper position. But the Trident Assault Ships break into Tipoca City and send out more Aqua Droids to swarm the place and attack the Clone Troopers with General Grievous arriving as well. The Clone Troopers try to fight them off but the Aqua Droids and the Trident Assault Ships have them all outnumbered and damage Tipoca City then Asajj Ventress arrives and Commander Havoc gets shot down. But during the fight, Obi-Wan realizes that the Aqua Droids are trying to distract them so he tells Anakin to go and protect the Clone DNA Chamber while he deals with General Grievous. As Fives and Echo fight off against the Aqua Droids from their sniper position, a deflective janitorial Clone named 99 tries to help them out by giving them some grenades which they use to destroy some Battle Droids who attack them. Then Fives, Echo, and 99 meet some Clone Cadets and take them to the Clone Barracks but as the Clone Troopers continue to fight off more Battle Droids throughout Tipoca City, Asajj attacks and kills Commander Colt. Then she and General Grievous head for the Clone DNA Chamber to steal the Clone DNA so the Separatists can use it to their advantage but Asajj decides to steal it herself. Meanwhile, Fives, Echo, 99, and the Clone Cadets make it to the Clone Barracks where they try to figure out what to do then they meet up with Captain Rex and Commander Cody who decide that they should all fight back against the Separatist Droid Army. While the Clone Cadets claim that their training isn't finished, Fives and Echo manage to rally them up to fight back then 99 decides to get the weapons they need to fight them off from the armory that is close by the Clone Barracks. Asajj then arrives at the Clone DNA Chamber and tries to steal the Clone DNA but is confronted by Anakin and they both fight each other. Later, General Grievous and some Battle Droids find the Clone Barracks but the Clone Troopers and Clone Cadets all fight them off after 99 gets them the weapons from the armory then Obi-Wan arrives to help out by fighting off Grievous. But during the fight, 99 gets shot down by the Battle Droids while trying to get more grenades from the armory and dies. However, Shakk Ti and all the Clone Troopers manage to get the upper hand by destroying all of the Aqua Droids, Battle Droids, and their Trident Assault Ships. During which, General Grievous escapes on a ship and Anakin gets back the Clone DNA from Asajj then when the Clone Troopers corner her, Asajj escapes too with General Grievous on his ship.

### Aftermath

Although the battle was won, Tipoca City was heavily damaged by the Separatists while 99 is honored by Captain Rex, Commander Cody, Fives, and Echo for his sacrifice and both Fives and Echo are officially promoted to ARC Troopers for their actions in defending Tipoca City which later gets fully repaired. But during the early days of the Empire, Kamino fell under Imperial control where they started to recruit and train non-Clone Troopers from other worlds. Then the Empire attacked and destroyed Tipoca City and all the cloning factories on it as a way to control cloning.
