Second Battle of Geonosis (Clone Wars)

The Second Battle of Geonosis, or Second Assault on Geonosis, or Battle of Geonosis, or Occupation of Geonosis, was a battle held in the Clone Wars, between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The Republic emerged victorious.

Republic troops were dropped off by gunships, and walkers were set down by cargo dropships. The Republic attacked at three different places, distracting the Geonosisians and droids. The main base and factory blocks were attacked by the 501st, and later the 212th and 91st joined them.

Landing
The landing was rough and the Republic lost a half of a quarter of their forces. Vulture droids attacked the gunships, but later a V 19 torrent squad took them out, getting rid of air support. The gunships landed in three places, and six 501st gunships landed at the main base, and broke inside while the others held off the rest of the droids.

Battle at the Canyon
91st Recon Corps troops landed at a canyon and went along the edge. They fought little resistance, but the trail ahead of them was destroyed by AATs and proton canons. AT-RTs distracted the tanks intel the others could get across. All of the AT-RTs were destroyed, and the droids took light casualties. The remaining troops got to the other side of the canyon and destroyed many tanks, and capturing a few, which helped in the destruction of the main base and factory blocks

Defensive Square
Once the 212th landed, they set up a defensive square using gunships, AT-TEs, and AT-RTs. Chain gun turrets were placed along the perimeter also, and in gunships. Three Jedi were at the square and taken five AATs, and destroyed the proton cannons with the help of Y-wing bombers. After that, they moved on towards the factory.

Third strike force
The third strike force was almost completely taken out by proton cannons, but eventually all of the cannons were destroyed. The few remaining troops and the Jedi that were left went on towards the factory, none of their AT-TEs or AT-RTs making down to the surface.

Battle in the Factory
The battle in the factory was short. The 501st took heavy casualties. When the 212th and 91st got there, the droids were sent off production lines as soon as possible, ending up in some of them missing an arm or a leg. By the time the third strike force arrived, the AT-TEs had destroyed the factory.
