Caltrop field

A caltrop field was a field of large spikes that protruded from the ground on the planet Geonosis. In 21 BBY, during the Second Battle of Geonosis of the Clone Wars, Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi and the battalion of his Clone Commander, Jet, were stymied by a massive caltrop field which prevented the movement of their All Terrain Tactical Enforcers from reaching the Galactic Republic's rendevzous point for the battle. However, while passing through the caltrop field, Mundi used his lightsaber to cut through several of the spikes, which allowed the walkers to move forward.
