Clone Wars - Volume 6: On the Fields of Battle
GRAPHIC NOVEL (2005)
Jon Ostrander et al.
Dark Horse Comics
Also published as Comic Book series
Synopsis:
This book collects together the following stories from the
Star Wars: Republic comic series:
  • Issues 65 & 66 : Show of Force
    MISSION TO THE RIG
    In the aftermath of one of the battles of the Clone Wars, a new threat arises: the Jedi discover that someone has placed a bounty on Jedi - the deader, the better. Rather than have his Jedi be targets on and off the battlefield, Mace Windu assembles a team of the toughest Jedi available. Their mission? Explain to the Bounty Hunters Guild, in no uncertain terms, that attacking Jedi is a very, very bad idea.
    Occurs during the eighteenth month after the Battle of Geonosis.
  • Issue 67 : Forever Young
    BATTLE OF ZAADJA
    General Kenobi’s clone army is sent on a diversionary mission to distract a massive Separatist army long enough for newly knighted Jedi Tohno to infiltrate a droid factory and destroy it. The key to the mission is to attract the Separatist’s attention without actually engaging them in combat. But Anakin feels that he witnessed the sacrifice of enough young Jedi during the disastrous mission to Jabiim, and he can’t stand the prospect of another one.
    Can Anakin learn to put the Republic’s objectives ahead of his own feelings, or will his misguided heroism jeopardize the lives of thousands in order to save one? And what about Master Tohno? Doesn’t she have a say about her own part of the mission?
    Occurs during the nineteenth month after the Battle of Geonosis.
  • Issue 68 : Armor
    BATTLE OF HONOGHR
    It was bound to happen sooner or later. Pursuing the lost plans for a Separatist secret weapon, Jedi Aayla Secura has a showdown with her former Master and friend turned dark Jedi-Quinlan Vos.
    Clone Commander Bly, accompanying his Jedi General Aayla Secura, understands the purpose and function of the armor he wears. But as he experiences the confrontation between Aayla and Quin, he witnesses the strengths and weaknesses of the mental, emotional, and spiritual "armor" worn by each of the combatants.
    In this special issue, told from Bly's point of view, the mysteries of the Jedi are seen from a human perspective. And when the turmoil wrought upon the Jedi by the Clone Wars and the seething power of the dark side threatens them all, Bly, Aayla, and Quin must each make a life-or-death decision.
    Occurs during the twenty-fifth month after the Battle of Geonosis.
  • Issue 69, 70 & 71 : Dreadnoughts of Rendili
    BATTLE OF RENDILI
    While Jedi Masters Saesee Tiin and Plo Koon fight to prevent a fleet of ships from falling into Separatist hands, Obi-Wan Kenobi discovers that the Separatists are not without dissension in their own ranks! On board the drifting hulk of a massive research ship, Obi-Wan finds himself taking sides with dark Jedi Quinlan Vos-who is wanted for the murder of a Senator-against another foe.
    Vos was once his friend, and the other enemy is one with whom Obi-Wan has crossed swords before. But has Obi-Wan been too hasty in deciding the lesser of two evils? Has Quin become the heartless killer everyone believes him to be? And will he help Obi-Wan escape the apparent death trap into which they fall, or abandon him to save his own skin?
    Occurs during the thirty-first month after the Battle of Geonosis.
Chronology:
These stories occur  between 17 and 30 months after the Battle of Geonosis, nearly 19 and a half years before the Battle of Yavin.
