Skirmish on Rodia

A skirmish took place on the planet Rodia in 20 BBY during the Clone Wars. After aiding in the escape of the Hutt prisoner Ziro Desilijic Tiure from Republic custody on Coruscant, the bounty hunter Robonino went into hiding from the Republic and established headquarters on Rodia. Robonino set up an underwater generator to power his modified battle droids, and the surrounding wildlife soon began to suffer from the effects of the device. Rodia's senator, Onaconda Farr, requested a Jedi to investigate the disturbances, and High Jedi General Kit Fisto was sent in with a squad of clone troopers. While the clone commander and his forces fought and defeated the droids in the base, Fisto found the underwater generator. Instead of capturing Robonino, Fisto was forced to destroy the generator and allow the bounty hunter to escape. Nevertheless, a Kwazel Maw beast soon appeared and spat out the defeated Robonino right in front of the Republic forces, leading to the mercenary's arrest.
