Battle of Kamino

Canon Legends version → Linked from 73 articles

The Battle of Kamino, also known as the Raid on Kamino or the Attack on Kamino, was fought during the Clone Wars between the Jedi-led Grand Army of the Galactic Republic and the Droid Army of the Confederacy of Independent systems. The Separatists launched the battle as one of their key campaigns during the war, hoping to capture Kamino and eliminate the cloning facilities in Tipoca City—resulting in the Battle of Tipoca City, also known as the defense of Tipoca City—in order to try to deprive the Republic from creating more clone troopers for their army. The Separatists, led by General Grievous and Asajj Ventress, were repelled by the Republic. However, the attack on Kamino proved the Republic had intelligence leaks and that every Republic planet was vulnerable to assault.
