Battle of Camildrona (Clone Wars)

The Battle of Camildrona, also known as the Invasion of Camildrona, the Liberation of Camildrona, and the First Battle of Camildrona, took place in 21 BBY on the Confederate-occupied planet of Camildrona. It was fought almost immediately after the First Battle of Kamino, and its roots can be traced back to when Confederate leader Shu Mai, Presidente of the Commerce Guild, invaded Camildrona, hoping to steal its valuable resources from the small number of Republic forces stationed there (Only the part of the 43rd battalion was stationed there). The forces were immediately pulled out, and a counterattack was planned. However, it was delayed when the Republic discovered a coded Seperatist transmission from General Grievous and Dark Acolyte Asajj Ventress stating that they were going to attack the clone home planet of Kamino. After the battle, the invasion was delayed for a further two months, for the Republic had taken heavy losses at the battle and needed to recover. When High Jedi General Camil Fon, commander of the 88th Star Corps which was leading the assault, thought they were ready, the forces immediately prepared. In the early hours of June 8th, 21 BBY, the first paratroopers of the 66th and 98th Airborne Battalions landed in the Camildran capital city of Lummer, an industrial city and space port. With help from the Jedi Camil Fon, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Mace Windu, Anakin Skywalker, and Ahsoka Tano, the clones recaptured the city, and later, the rest of the planet. The Seperatist forces took heavy losses, with 675,042 missing, 60,209 captured, and 868,921 killed, out of a force of 1,799,573. The battle was a tactical, strategical, and descisive Republic victory.
