Battle
Shortly after entering the planet's atmosphere, the Republic forces were able to verify the presence of Separatists. The Jedi in charge of the mission, Bdaris Telnari, ordered reinforcements, but refused to wait for reinforcements. Instead, he ordered the LAAT pilots to land on a beach near the Separatist base. While the LAAT/c provided cover fire, the LAAT/i managed to land the clones on the beach. Within minutes, a battle was raging. Despite being outnumbered, the clones managed to cut down numerous droids with the aid of their Jedi and a sniper positioned in a high area. However, despite this, a number of clones were quickly cut down, and although they managed to claim the beach, all but four of them had been killed in the first battle. Telnari ordered two of the clones, Rook and Piccolo to join him in manning the tank, while he left Elix to tend to the wounded Dent.
