CLONE WARS TIMELINE
Month 2 after the Battle of Geonosis - HoloNet News Time 13:7

Event: Recruitment on Rattatak

Source: Clone Wars Micro-Series - Chapter 6, 7

Author(s): Cartoon Network, produced by Genndy Tartakovsky

Publication Date: November 2003

Count Dooku seeks a new ally with the power to defeat the Jedi. On the planet Rattatak, he encounters a mysterious fighter who dominates every opponent in the combat ring. She introduces herself to him as Asajj Ventress, a Sith warrior. After denouncing her claims to be a Sith, Dooku challenges Asajj in combat and defeats her. But he is so impressed with her skills that he gives her an important assignment - to assassinate Anakin Skywalker.

*Note: The official placement for these episodes is "mere weeks" after the Battle of Geonosis. This vague term could be anything from 2 weeks to several weeks. For the sake of this timeline, I have it in Month 2 because I believe it takes place 6 weeks after the Battle of Geonosis. My reasoning is that Dooku would wait to recruit Asajj until after the death of Sev'rance Tann.

However, Leland Chee said that, "Her discovery has nothing to do with the demise of Sev'Rance Tann or any of Dooku's other minions." I'm still going to keep it here for now, but anyone is welcome to interpret "mere weeks" however they want.

Young Fett may be alone in the galaxy, but he has two important assets: he is the heir to a fortune belonging to Jango Fett, and he alone knows the secret of Count Dooku's double-identity. Now, Fett must navigate the labyrinthine interiors of Aargau's largest banking centers to claim what is rightfully his, while avoiding double-crosses, hardened security, and a vengeful Aurra Sing.

Young Boba Fett is alone on Tatooine, surrounded by criminals, mercenaries and thieves. He is determined to follow in his late father's footsteps and become the best bounty hunter in the galaxy. To do so, he must find the greatest crime lord of all: Jabba the Hutt.

The mighty Hutt isn't easily impressed. When Boba tracks down the gangster, Jabba has an offer for the young boy: one assignment, one chance. He must capture a deadly bounty... or else.

Event: The First Battle of Kamino

Author(s): Milton Freewater, Jr., Adriana Melo, and Fabio Laguna, cover by Pat Lee

Publication Date: December 2002

Timeline note: This item is placed here because it was probably a preliminary strike to find out how strong Kamino's defenses were. Also, the Separatists likely planned to eliminate as many clone troopers before they made their final attack on Kamino that occurred shortly thereafter as seen in REPUBLIC #50.

A biological saboteur has tainted the sterile labs of the Kamino cloning facilities. Jedi Generals Kit Fisto and Aayla Secura investigate this deadly threat to the Republic's clone army.

Publication Date: January 2003

It is two months since the Clone Wars began on Geonosis. After a series of indecisive skirmishes, the Separatists rally for a bold charge against the cloning facilities on Kamino, the source of the Republic's army. To defend this vital asset, the Republic has dispatched a squadron of Jedi Starfighters and a battalion of Clone Troopers under the command of the Jedi. The result is a battle that blazes through space, through the cities, and through the crashing waves of Kamino.
