Second Battle of Felucia

The Second Battle of Felucia saw a clash between Galactic Republic and the Separatist Alliance for control of the planet Felucia during the Clone Wars. Having been forced into a retreat at the First Battle of Felucia, the Republic re-established a presence there thanks to the efforts of Jedi General Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan, Ahsoka Tano, who led their clone troopers on an offensive into Separatist-held territory. In retaliation, General Grievous supplied one of his outposts on Felucia with reinforcements to secure the system for the Confederacy. Responding to the arrival of the battle droid detachment, Skywalker, Tano, and Jedi Master Plo Koon targeted the enemy outpost with a three-pronged assault, each leading a squad to divide the Separatist defenses.

Clone trooper pilot Slider flew a Clone Z-95 Headhunter during the battle. Supported by heavy artillery tanks situated on an adjacent ridge, the Jedi and clones were able to secure the base from T-series military strategic analysis and tactics droid TZ-33, eliminating all of the droid forces there. However, Tano was captured during the fighting by a group of Trandoshan hunters, who brought her to the moon Wasskah to be hunted for sport. Skywalker and Koon withdrew from Felucia the following day after failing to locate the missing Padawan.

The Republic's victory brought Felucia and its surrounding region under its control. However, Felucia would later find itself back into the fold of the Clone Wars and was the site of a stronghold for the Separatists. All the same, the native Felucians still did not side with the CIS. Jedi General Aayla Secura led an assault on Felucia during the final days of the Clone Wars.
