Some believe such an action will only invite war.

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.

Thousands of solar systems are defecting to the Separatists' Confederacy of Independent Systems, led by the charismatic fallen Jedi Master Count Dooku. But the threat to the Galactic Republic does not end there, for the malevolent Count answers to a shadowy Sith Lord - one who harbors his own sinister agenda.

The swamp planet Dagu, a remote place where the Confederacy has chosen to build a military base using prisoners of war, seethes with discontent. The slave laborers, including clone troopers, are determined to escape -- and the native reptilian Rybets have sworn to regain their freedom.

Count Dooku has learned that among the prisoners is a courier with information that could bring down the Republic. Dooku has selected Artel Darc, a most cunning and capable Dark Jedi, to apprehend the courier. But Artel Darc doesn't know that Shaak Ti, the legendary Jedi Master, is among the prisoners. Nor can he fathom how awesome a weapon the desire for liberty can be -- even against seemingly impossible odds.

Event: Unknown

Source: Republic Commando: Triple Zero

Author(s): Karen Traviss

Publication Date: Spring 2006

set a year after the battle of Geonosis, and follows the continuing missions of Omega Squad. As the Clone Wars casualties mount, the commandos find themselves deployed on increasingly dangerous missions that take them beyond the battlefield and further into sabotage and intelligence operations in the heart of Separatist territory. Newly-promoted Jedi Generals Etain Tur-Mukan and Bardan Jusik are also catapulted into front line combat roles and find themselves identifying strongly with the clone soldiers under their command, who turn out to be anything but predictable cannon fodder.

Omega Squad survives a close brush with disaster to end up in the most potentially dangerous hot spot in the galaxy - pursuing a Separatist terror group in the skylanes and underworld of Coruscant itself, known as Triple Zero in the Grand Army's slang because its galactic chart co-ordinates are 000. And, as any soldier knows, urban operations on your own turf can be the most deadly of all. So it's just as well that Omega Squad find themselves working with Delta Squad, and teamed up again with Etain and Jusik - as well as their legendary training sergeant Kal Skirata, and his secret military intelligence unit of "Null" ARC troopers, the black ops team that even the Kaminoans thought were too dangerous to unleash. It's a critical mission unlike anything any of them have ever tackled - and it tests their friendship and courage to the limit.

In the face of mounting casualties and shrinking resources, Obi-Wan leads what he hopes will be a crippling attack on the enemy.

Mutineers have taken hostages and are planning to turn over a fleet of Republic warships to the Separatists. Despite having a friend held captive aboard these vessels, Jedi Councilor Plo Koon believes the destruction of the fleet is the only way to keep these powerful vessels from being used against the Republic. Anakin Skywalker disagrees - he hatches a dangerous plan that relies on daredevil flying, split-second timing, and an untested weapon. Meanwhile, trapped on a derelict research ship carrying a menagerie of deadly animals, Obi-Wan must face his most hated enemy alone.

UNCONFIRMED TIMELINE ITEMS

The timeline placement of the following items is unknown at this time.

Author(s): Mary Jo Duffy, Carmine Infantino, Bob Wiacek, Petra Goldberg, and Rick Parker

Publication Date: June 1979, Reprinted July 2002

General Kenobi has to save a ship from attacking slavers while on the way to Alderaan.

Check out the Journey to Alderaan for more information.

Timeline note: Placement of this comic is conjectural. Phil Simon, editor of the collection, says that it occurred during peaceful times of the Republic (not during the Clone Wars.) Pablo Hidalgo says it was during the Clone Wars because Obi-Wan is referred to as a general. Obi-Wan's look in the comic suggests an older Alec Guinness Obi-Wan, rather than the younger Ewan McGregor Obi-Wan. The story is that Obi-Wan is on some kind of mission for Bail Organa. We know General Kenobi served him during the Clone Wars and it's likely that they still remained friends after the Jedi purge (that's obvious since Leia contacted him in Episode IV.) At any rate, we'll just stick this at the end of the timeline and let you make the call.

Legends of the region go back to the days when early hyperspace travelers lost their bearings and disappeared in the currents, eddies, and storms of the nebula. During the Clone Wars, two opposing combat fleets, at the height of battle, were swallowed up by the Dreighton Nebula, leaving it as the battle's only true victor.
