First Battle of Manaan (Clone Wars)

The First Battle of Manaan was fought in 20 BBY as part of the Outer Rim Sieges. Lasting around 2 months, the battle later led to a second invasion in early 19 BBY.

Preparations
The CIS invaded and took over Manaan in 22 BBY. When rebel activity began around 20 BBY, the leader of the resistance, Vraxl'yt, contacted the Jedi Council to help drive the CIS off Manaan. The Republic quickly agreed, sending in Jedi General Kit Fisto and Jedi General Caetus.

Arrival
The Republic arrived on Manaan with no resistance. But as soon as the troops descended the surface, they were met by fierce Selkath Loyalist and CIS resistance. The Republic was able to push forward for a while before being stalled on the ocean floor.

Plan
The Republic had divided the assault up into two phases, The first was to push to the capital. After the push, they would enter the capital and wipe out as Separatist influence and force the Separatists off Manaan,
