Destroying the strike force that attempted to attack the base, the Republic continued constant construction of their stronghold. The Jedi and his turreteers defended the uncompleted base from several heavy droids, such as the Homing Spider Droid. This required the Jedi and Cody to use their defensive parameters that had been set up. As the Republic base was constructed, General Whorm Loathsom led an attack on the installation in order to stymie the Republic's attempt to gain a foothold. The Jedi had engineers develop a line of defense turrets, using this as an opportunity to deploy several new turret designs. With the base being constructed, the Jedi and Clone Commander Cody were assigned to set up defensive measures for the base and surrounding area. As the planet was besieged, plans were made to establish a Republic base of operations. As attacks raged on, the Republic stepped in to defend the planet, deploying the Jedi along with them. One of the systems they focused their assault on was the system containing the crystalline planet Christophsis. The Confederacy of Independent Systems, a few months into the war, initiated several attacks on systems, focusing on key hyperspace routes in the Outer Rim. Since there was a need for more aerial units, the Jedi was assigned to pilot a Republic Gunship in order to assist with the aerial foothold. The fleet attacked until enough enemy ships had been destroyed for the fleet, and they then proceeded to land their transports on the surface and deploy troops to support the Jedi survivors in battle. Yoda was needed on the surface, leaving the young Jedi to command the fleet of warships against the Confederate fleet they were severely outgunned. Once the army and the fleet was assembled, they traveled to Geonosis. Once arriving on Kamino, Adi Gallia went ahead in a smaller cruiser, while Yoda and the Jedi prepared the larger-scale army for action. The Jedi, not having enough hands-on experience with battles, went with Master Yoda and Adi Gallia to retrieve the clone army from Kamino. Approximately 212 Jedi voluntaries composed the rescue crew, including this Jedi. Jedi Padawan Anakin Skywalker, along with Senator Padmé Amidala and Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi, were being held hostage on the planet of Geonosis, requiring a Jedi support group to rescue them. The Jedi had advanced skills for their age, and therefore was accepted into a lightsaber throwing class taught by Luminara Unduli.Ĭlone Wars First Battle of Geonosis
The Jedi also was taught how to use a blaster, develop and plan battle strategies, hack and slice into computers, and fly a Jedi Starfighter via simulation programs. This individual participated in a lightsaber dueling class, taught by Obi-Wan Kenobi, and dueled opponents such as the Padawan Ahsoka Tano and Barriss Offee while they were still in their Jedi training. This Jedi trained early on at the Jedi Temple, often visiting the Jedi Temple training room to practice their skills.
įighting in many early battles such as the campaign on Iceberg III, the conflict on Umbara, the battle for Ryloth, the skirmish on Carlac and the second battle of Geonosis, the Padawan was made a Jedi Knight by the Jedi High Council and given the rank of General. They welcomed the Padawan formally into the Jedi Order, and Windu presented them their first lightsaber.
In the war room of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, the Padawan convened with famed Jedi Yoda, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Mace Windu, Plo Koon and Ahsoka Tano, along with clone marshal commander CC-2224 and astromech droid R2-D2. Īt about this time the Confederacy of Independent Systems (CIS) had united against the Republic, and the Jedi had no choice but to fight in the conflict, and like all apprentices the Padawan was given the rank of Jedi Commander. The apprentice gained the attention of a Master and was selected as a Padawan student. The Initiate, who had earned distinction as a promising student, proved their comprehension of the Jedi Code, self-discipline via meditation and lightsaber combat, and their strong attunement to the flow of the Force, passing the Initiate Trials. A Force-sensitive, this individual was discovered by the Jedi Order sometime prior to 22 BBY and was trained in the ways of the Force.
