Caliban

Canon Linked from 12 articles

Caliban was an Outer Rim moon with a frigid climate. Its snow-covered frozen tundra, mountains, and ravines were home to the Qubey species. In 22 BBY, during the Clone Wars between the Confederacy of Independent Systems and the Galactic Republic, Caliban was the site of a battle, in which the Separatist General Grievous captured Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi and his clone troopers and took the Jedi's lightsaber.

To comply with the Separatists' demands, the Jedi and his forces began rebuilding a lunar ice bridge that Grievous had destroyed during his invasion of the moon. However, with the help of the Qubey, Kenobi reacquired his lightsaber from the cyborg. After the bridge's completion, Kenobi confronted Grievous in a lightsaber duel and used the Force to bury the Separatist in an avalanche. As he and his troopers left the moon on a gunship, the Jedi ordered the destruction of Caliban's lunar ice bridge so their enemies could not benefit from it.
