Battle of Jabrax

The battle of Jabrax was a battle during the Clone Wars and was a minor Republic loss.

The Battle
When contact with republic agent Vy Kandrid was lost on the seperatist world Jabrax was lost, the Republic sent general Anakin Skywalker and his padawan Ahsoka Tano  along with Admiral Wilhuff Tarkin to check out the situation. They took a small transport modified with scanner jamming technology. when they entered the system there was only a single Munificent-class frigate in orbit which caused them no trouble thanks to their jamming tech. When they landed they took out a droid inspection party with no pain at all and then sent in ARC troopers led by Captain Fodro, they then started wreaking havoc across the city destroying CIS units looking for a possible clue as to Kandrid's whereabouts. They eventually found a lead in an infochant named Mikoe after a brief chase and defeating a sniper droideka and some battle droids which cost them two clones in the fighting. She revealed the seperatists recently made an arrest after confirming the suspect to be a republic spy. She then said they were keeping him in an abandoned apartment complex. They then tracked down Kandrid to the Apartment complex and killed all the droids including their commander TS-49 gaurding him losing only one clone in the process.

Escaping The Surface
"you all right Kandrid."

"Ha ha ha ha haaa, I missed you to Patty."

"I knew you would do something like that."

After rescuing Kandrid, Skywalker and Tano led their squad through the city avoiding droids in order to keep Kandrid safe. But they were eventually caught by some B2 super droids which alerted every other droid in the city before they were destroyed. Kandrid then pulled out a pistol and destroyed a surveillence camera. Skywalker then nagged him about having a pistol the entire time and not using it. He simply replied that if he used his pistol, the droids would have destroyed his sense of humor. They then continued to sneak through the city and returned to their transport but they were quickly assaulted by rounds of battle droids the engines of the transport needed to be warmed up so Ahsoka and Captain Fodro along with five other clones gave the ship cover fire while they got it operational. The squad took out several OG-9 homing spider droids with rockets and CT-3266 aka Jock scraped many droids with his Z-6 rotary cannon. Meanwhile the ship was fixed, but Captain Tarkin ordered the pilot lieutenant Rack to take off and leave Tano and her squad behind as a means of eliminating what he secretly thought was an "Inaffective yet expendable jedi". It was thanks to only Rack's disobedience of Tarkin's orders that Tano and her clones survived.

"Trooper, I order you to make for orbit immediatly!"

"Shut up, Admiral. I am the only one even lifting us off of the ground. Think you can do a better job at flying this bird? Want to give it a shot, huh...didn't think so."

Tano was infuriated at Tarkin's attempt to abandon her as a means of killing her. Tarkin denied this, but she also said that if the pilot hadn't disobeyed his orders not only would she have been killed but also the Clones with her, thus showing a disregard for their lives. Tarkin then just simply walked off. When the transport entered space the squad was horrified to find out that several Recusant-class light destroyers had entered orbit and began attacking. After realizing their hyperdrive had been hit by enemy bombers and was beyond repair the squad came up with a plan to commander one of the destroyers by allowing them to board their transport. When two destroyers began to pull up on both sides of the transport they were more than prepared to combat the CIS boarding party which was just B1 battle droids. They then proceeded to the ship's bridge to take it over, killing most of the droid crew as they went along while the others fled to the escape pods. After finally storming the bridge and suceeding in taking control some of the clones stood guard at the door Skywalker and Rack piloted the destroyer. They were forced to abandon their transport and disengaged the docking tube after annihilating the destroyer across from them. The commandeered destroyer then exited into hyperspace. After the battle

Master Yoda later told chancellor Palpatine of Tarkin's actions at Jabrax and how Tano was almost killed in the massive firefight, as well as the evidence of Tarkin's disregard for the clones lives which left Tarkin relocated to Coruscant for the rest of the Clone Wars. Tano also personally requested Rack's promotion as a reward for his valor during the battle which was backed by Anakin Skywalker but openly opposed by Tarkin. However Palpatine ultimetly granted Skywalker and Tano's wish.
