CLONE WARS BATTLES
Month 11 after the Battle of Geonosis

Battle of Ando | Battle of Atraken | Mission to Delrian

Key Characters

Po Nudo, Gorothin Vagger

Setting the Stage

Breaking down their own longstanding weapons restrictions against the Andoan people, the Republic has armed Aqualish loyalists against the Andoan natives that have separated from the Republic. When the world of Ando seceded last year, the outlaying Andoan Free Colonies, represented by Senator Gorothin Vagger, remained part of the Republic. Represented by Senator Po Nudo, the Andoan natives immediately overturned Republic demilitarization efforts and were finally able to protect themselves with armaments supplied by the Confederacy.

The Battle

Mercenary vessels hired by Andoan loyalists–in direct violation of the Treaty of Raquish–began harassing Andoan natives. Examination of the mercenary craft wreckage indicates it belongs to the Ualaq Pride, a loyalist-aligned extremist group. Experts found modern Republic technologies modified for their unique four-eyed vision, suggesting direct complicity on the part of the government. Of course, Senator Vagger has not commented on the accusations of treaty violation, nor has the Republic or Andoan Colonial media reported the breach.

Confederacy strategists theorize that nearby Rodia is the leading supplier of the Andoan colonist weaponry and is likely to be drawn into the escalating civil war.

Outcome

The Andoan natives are armed by the CIS. The Andoan loyalists violate the Treaty of Raquish. Rodia is suspected of supplying the Andoan colonists with weapons.

The Battle of Atraken

Key Characters

CIS and Republic forces, Kaysil Verwood

Setting the Stage

The Refugee Relief Movement has declared the planet Atraken–the site of a prolonged battle between Republic and Separatists forces–an "unsalvageable disaster" unfit for humanoid habitation.

The World, once a rich source of doonium, became a battleground when CIS protectionist forces refused to relinquish control of the mining operation there.

The Battle

Entrenched in the planet’s crust, the Separatists unleashed biochemical agents to deter the Republic’s clone troopers. This resulted in thousands of civilian casualties as the toxins seeped into much of the planet’s water tables and ecosystems.

As one of the early fronts of the current conflict, Atraken has been plagued by warfare for almost a year now. Its distant location from the Corellian Trade Spine hampered Republic resupply efforts for the clone troopers stationed there, but the recent push of Operation Katabatic has turned the tide, allowing for the conquering of the Separatists droid armies.

Though a tactical victory in denying the Separatists access to the valuable shipbuilding ore, the Battle of Atraken has spelled tragedy for the one million inhabitants of the colony world. An estimated 90 percent of the planet’s population has been poisoned, displaced, or killed in the fighting. Those who can afford to have fled to neighboring worlds, while others are believed to have sought refuge on Trilos, the only Atraken moon with a breathable atmosphere.

"Sadly, Atraken will never be rebuilt. But the lives of those families torn apart by the brutality of war can still be salvaged," said Kaysil Verwood, RRM Spokesbeing.

RRM transport craft are currently awaiting the clearing of an orbital minefield to examine refugee settlements on the Trilos moon.

Outcome

The Confederacy is denied access to the doonium ore. Atraken is all but destroyed.

The Mission to Delrian

Key Characters

Wat Tambor, 2 Skakoan legal deputies, an unnamed Clawdite

Setting the Stage

Anakin Skywalker captures Wat Tambor on Metalorn and brings him to Coruscant one month earlier. Tambor is then relocated to a detainment center on Delrian.

The Mission

Tambor was permitted a visit by his staff, which consisted of two Skakoan legal deputies and an unnamed Clawdite accomplice. Once within the facility, the Skakoans heroically decompressed their pressure shells, resulting in an explosion that incapacitated the squad of eight clone troopers assigned to escort Foreman Tambor. The Clawdite was then able to bypass the automated defenses of the compound with as yet undisclosed devices supplied by the Techno Union.

Outcome

Wat Tambor is rescued from Republic custody.
