and his troops make a horrifying discovery: the
entire population of Gungan settlers has been wiped
out in a genocidal chemical attack by a power-mad
Separatist commander. Worse, Anakin discovers that

RAID ON QUEYTA
An all-Jedi taskforce
including Obi-Wan Kenobi is on a secret mission to
infiltrate a Skakoan Techno Union base supporting
the Separatists. Kenobi finds himself overshadowed
by legendary Jedi Masters, but a surprise turnaround
puts him in command. Surrounded by so many powerful
individuals, Obi-Wan feels there is little he can
bring to the mission. Now he leads the fight for
survival against deadly traps and a shocking
confrontation.

of Geonosis.
- Jedi :
Shaak Ti - Catspaw
THE BATTLE OF BRENTAAL IV
The Clone Wars have
transformed Brentaal IV into a chaotic battlezone,
and the Republic is overwhelmed by Separatist
firepower. An immense Magna-gun emplacement cuts
down the clone infantry and swats the Republic
attack gunships out of the smoke-filled skies.
Jedi Generals plan a counter-assault, and it falls
to Shaak Ti to lead a dangerous insertion mission
that will silence the Separatist cannons. Usually
known as a serene peacemaker and calm voice of
reason, Shaak Ti is prepared for the worst the
Confederacy throws at her. But a surprise lurks
within the Separatist compound: escaped prisoners
who may prove to be useful allies, including a
dangerous young killer convicted of murdering Ti's
Padawan.
Occurs during the fifth month after the Battle of
Geonosis.
