General Skywalker dispatched his apprentice and Blue Squadron to engage the blockade's droid fighters. Skywalker, along with his apprentice Commander Ahsoka Tano, Admiral Wullf Yularen, Clone Captain Rex, and his forces, were sent to break through the Separatist blockade under the command of Captain Mar Tuuk.
#BATTLE OF THE STORM FREE#
Ultimately, the Galactic Senate would answer the Twi'leks' plea to liberate their planet from Separatist occupation, sending Jedi Generals Mace Windu, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Anakin Skywalker with the Republic Army to free Ryloth from the Separatists. Syndulla was able to maintain a secret hideout and manage a network of spies to report on Tambor's activities. While Tambor tightened his grip, the Twi'lek resistance continued to harass Tambor's forces, though at heavy cost. Once there, TX-20 and his battle droids installed a battery of five proton cannons and used the captured Twi'leks as a living shield to protect them. He dispatched his forces to pillage, ravage, and rob the Twi'lek villages of anything of value, also sending TX-20 to capture the city of Nabat and its inhabitants. The occupation Īfter the annihilation of the Republic garrison, Ryloth became completely occupied by the Separatist Droid Army, with Wat Tambor overseeing the occupation from the city of Lessu. As the Republic garrison fell, Organa's blockade runners narrowly reached the Twi'leks, renewing their hopes and allowing them to continue their resistance. Master Di and his men made a valiant last stand against the droids, sacrificing themselves for the Twi'leks' escape. Di and his men opted instead to use the gunship as a bomb, blocking a mountain pass and forcing the droid army into a choke-point while Syndulla and his people fled through the mountains. General Di, Clone Captain Keeli, and their troops prepped their last gunship to evacuate the resistance fighters' families, but the gunship proved too small to accommodate everyone. General Di and Captain Keeli's last stand As Binks distracted Dod and the other guests at a dinner party, Organa quietly loaded blockade runners with supplies and sent them to Ryloth. Although King Katuunko officially refused Organa's request to aid the Republic supply efforts, he allowed Organa and Binks to discreetly complete their mission, provided that Dod and the Trade Federation would never learn of it. However, this information was intercepted by TX-20 and relayed to Count Dooku, who dispatched Trade Federation Senator Lott Dod to prevent Binks and Organa from negotiating an alliance with the Toydarians. The Council also requested that Alderaan Senator Bail Organa accompany Binks and speak with the Toydarian king about hosting a Republic weigh station. The Jedi Council requested the Senate send Naboo Representative Jar Jar Binks with supplies to Toydaria, which was near to Ryloth, to resupply the Twi'leks and the remnants of the Republic garrison. With Dao's death and the annihilation of his fleet, General Di and the Outer Rim garrison were cut off, alongside the supply routes. Dao made contact with Masters Yoda, Windu and Kenobi to inform them he would not be able to re-supply the Outer Rim garrison, but Dao's transmission was cut short as his flagship was destroyed by the blockade, killing the admiral and his crew. Di ordered Dao to contact the Jedi Council immediately. Di contacted Admiral Dao, who was commanding two cruisers in the system, but fleet was also running low on fuel, ammunition and supplies. The Republic troops were aided by the Twi'lek resistance forces under Cham Syndulla, but supplies started to run dangerously low and their heavy weapons began to go offline. The Separatist ground forces attacked the Republic garrison under the command of Jedi General Ima-Gun Di and Clone Captain Keeli. Ryloth was invaded and blockaded by the Confederacy of Independent Systems' droid army under Techno Union Foreman Wat Tambor.
