Nym, Jinkins, and Adi then attack the space defenses, providing cover for the dropships to extract the Resistance members.
Shortly after, Nym and Adi return back to the Karthakk system on the Maramere Islands. Nym and Adi escorted demolition boats to dismantle the Trade Federation Sensor Station.
Toth tests out Hex weapons (chemical bombs) via Hex Deployers on a peaceful resort on Karthakk. Adi and Reti head to that resort to destroye the missiles and Saboath Fighters. Hex Bombers and two Hex Deployers were also appearing. Adi reports the battle to Windu, and gives Mace the approval of the Jedi Starfighter. Adi remains on the Karthakk system for the time being (until she gets called once or twice to the Jedi Council on hearing the report about the assasination of Senator Amidala).
Meanwhile, Nym and Jinkins raid a massive Trade Federation complex at the top of Mount Merakan. Nym destroys as much freighters as he can, and destroys the rest of the facility into rubble.
Adi and Nym regroup, and they head for the planet Nod Kartha. Nym, Adi, and the Resistance destroy the planetary defenses, and had a slight encounter with Jango Fett (who was escaping at the time). Once on the planet's surface, Nym decides to go with his ground commandoes while Adi stays in the air to guide them to blow up the shield bunkers protecting the Trihexalon factory. Once setting the last charge, Nym and his commandoes were overrun by Trade Federation droids and Techno Union Super Battle Droids, but Adi showed up and held off the droids for the team to escape. Adi then leaves and the bunker blows up. By daytime, Nym goes back to his Havoc Bomber, and then destroys the core of the facility, which greatly reduced the Hex Weapons threat.
Adi and Nym go their seperate ways. Adi received the message from Windu that Obi-Wan was captured on Geneosis. Nym tells Adi to go on. Nym and the Resistance recover parts to an Orbital Defense Cannon to retake Lok.
Adi meets with her Padawan, Siri Tachi, and sees a Republic Troop Carrier. Adi, Siri, and two Jedi Starfighters were escorting the Troop Carrier through an asteroid field en route to Geneosis. Adi and Siri encounter Trade Federation and Geneosian Fighter resistance. Siri tells Adi about the Obi-Wan's capture. Adi and Siri successfully entered Geneosis with the Troop Carrier still active.
Nym and his crew assemble the Orbital Cannon on the Khons moon. Nym deals with the Trade Federation resistance while the crew builds the Orbital Cannon. The Cannon works, and it is a key element to regain Lok.
Nym and his crew enter the orbit, with an unexpected help from Vana Sage (from Starfighter), and destroyed all of the Trade Federation buildings (with the help of the Orbital Cannon). Nym sees Toth, but Toth escapes to Geneosis. Nym destroys Lieutenant Bella's starfighter. Although the Resistance had retaken Lok, the battle is not finished. Nym desperately brings cruisers with him, and leaves Lok to help Adi on Geneosis.
Adi is outside of Geneosis, protecting the planet from the remaining Hex threats. Nym manages to tell Adi about Toth's arrival. Meanwhile, Windu needs the Jedi's help (most of Adi's wingmen). Adi lets Windu order them back. Siri decides to stay with Adi, and destroyed all of the Hex Missiles before it hits the ground troops on Geneosis. Nym arrives, and helps Adi destroy the Saboath Cruisers. Toth escapes via his starfighter, and fights Adi. With precise flying, Adi succeeds in destroying Toth's fighter, and wins the battle. Adi gets the situation report from Windu, regarding Dooku's escape and Anakin being wounded.
Adi meets up with Mace on Coruscant. Adi tells Windu that Nym deserves his thanks. Nym was offered a position as a defense commander of the Karthakk system, but declined to "keep his options open." Adi tells Windu that Nym will still be a valuable ally, and will see to it personally. Nym gets a transmission from Vana regarding Reti being MIA. Adi then accompanies Nym for the rest of his missions.
Upon exiting, Anakin found Aurra Sing (out of the disguise) and sensed her presence when he was in town. Aurra said "You Jedi are so predictable. Always showing up to help others. The Council did not help me was young" Anakin snaps back, "The Jedi stand for justice and peace, not the hatred and violence you profess. I'm sure you had nothing to do with the womp rat problem in town." Aurra said, "I expected you did not survive in the cave. My employers warned me of your powers, but I've hunted Jedi before. Let's see how you do against my associates... and this thermal detonator!" Aurra throws the thermal detonator, but Anakin quickly escapes. Anakin fought through Jabba's men and Trade Federation battle droids.
By the time Anakin heads to Mos Espa, a citizen greets him and thanks him for stopping the womp rat plague. Anakin tells him he has to find Raala. The citizen does not know, but Anakin is directed to Watto. Another citizen tells Anakin that the Hutt's assasins are in town looking for something or someone (which is probably Anakin). Anakin fights through them and then talks to Watto. Watto is under the wrong impression, "I thought it would be another ten years, but you miss old Watto, eh?" Anakin replies, "I'm looking for Raala Ponchar- maybe you've seen her?" Watto was disappointed, "All business, now, eh, Ani? Fine, fine- yes, I see this woman. She sometimes comes to the shop and buys vaporator equipment." You want to find her, go to the moisture farms. Head out through the north gate. But why? A Jedi can do better than some dusty farmgirl, eh? What happened to the pretty girl I saw you with last time (referring to Padme)? She was some looker, heh, heh, heh." Anakin responds, "She's in trouble, Watto, I've come to help her." Watto says, "Sure, yes. But what can the Jedi help with these days? Trouble everywhere. Bad for business. You be better off coming back to work for me, I think eh?" Anakin says "No thanks." Watto was disappointed again, "Ah big Jedi! Too important now to care about old friends." Anakin says good bye to Watto. Watto advices Anakin not to be such a stranger.
Anakin exits Mos Espa and encounters a farmer. The farmer tells Anakin that Tusken Raiders destroyed the homesteads and the others were captured. Anakin replies that he does not have any love for Tuskens, and then frees 7 other farmers while killing the Tuskens. Anakin is lead to the moisture farms. Anakin finds a farmer looking at the wrecked homestead. Anakin asks what happened. The farmer replies that it was a droid he has never seen before. The droids leveled everything and Tuskens are now trying to find parts to salvage. Anakin told the farmer about his mission. The farmer told him that Raala works for Bellek and is north from the homestead. On his way there, Anakin finds a new type of Battle Droid (Cortosis Droids.
Cortosis droids are bulky and has cortosis arms to resist most of the attacks. Only doing an overhead slash in the middle will work. The middle section is the weakpoint since it's unprotected. Anakin discovers Bellek. Bellek tells Anakin that Raala has been captured. Bellek concludes that she's at Jabba's palace. Bellek tells Anakin that the quickest way to Jabba's palace is through Tusken territory. Bellek also tells Anakin to tell Raala that he has her wages.
Anakin goes through fighting the Tusken opposition. Anakin arrives at Jabba's entrance to find Aurra. Aurra says that he shouldn't have come her, and will enjoy watching him die. Anakin says he is sorry to disappoint her, but is force choked by a Dark Jedi named Saato. She tells Aurra to contact her master (Dooku, who else?) that the Jedi won't be a threat to their operation. Anakin wakes up in the dungeon to be Raala's cellmate. Anakin asks Raala what she learned (after being introduced). Raala does not want to answer, but Anakin opens the door by using the Force. Raala picks up Anakin's lightsaber. Anakin tests if it is working commenting that Obi-Wan hates it when Anakin loses a lightsaber, saying it's convenient that the guards left it outside the cell. Raala tells Anakin that Jabba was hired by the Techno Union Army leader Wat Tambor to facilitate smuggling operations in Tatooine. It turns out Jabba was smuggling huge shipments of construction materials and something called cortosis. Raala guessed it has to do something with those new droids that Anakin encountered back at the moisture farms. It is headed to Metalorn. Anakin reminds Raala that Bellek has her wages. Before they escape, they free the other prisoners. Raala escapes her own way while Anakin escapes through the rear of the dungeon. Anakin commandeers a skiff, but is shot down by the Dark Jedi Saato. Saato compliments Anakin that his master has prepared him well, but then tells Anakin he won't do so well when he gets caught by the Sarlacc. Anakin fights Saato and defeats her. Anakin takes out a holoprojector and tells Obi-Wan what he learned. Obi-Wan tells Anakin that he did a good job, but he needs Anakin's help on Coruscant. Anakin then goes back to his starfighter to return to Coruscant.
Anakin must chase Trenox, but needs to make his way to the Underlevels. Anakin fights through the Super Battle Droids and heads for another speeder.
Anakin arrives to the undercity, and encounters Barriss Offee. Barriss was relieved to see Anakin. Anakin tells her that Obi-Wan sent him here and asks what's going on. Barriss tells him that her squad of Clone Troopers were overrun by the Seperatist droids. There are too many for them to handle, and said that some are resistant to her lightsaber (which hints Cortosis Droids in action). Anakin tells her to rest and he'll take care of it. Anakin tells her that he's dealt with the Cortosis Droids before. Anakin fights through the Seperatist droids and an occasional Destroyer Droid, Rodian mercenary, and Cortosis Droid. Anakin provides as much assistance he can to the Clone Troopers, and then advanced. Anakin encounters Dexter Jettster. Dex asks Anakin how he's doing. Anakin says hi and asks Dex what he was doing in the underlevels. Dex said that he was trying to get supplies for the diner, but got caught up in the mess. Dex was shocked that a Jedi threatened him with a lightsaber before ducking in the Bentho's Nightclub. Anakin asks what the Jedi looked like. Dex described that the Jedi had a red lightsaber. Anakin tells Dex that was no Jedi and concludes that it was Trenox threatening him. Dex says the good bye and tells Anakin to tell Obi-Wan to visit Coco more often.
Anakin enters the club, and tells Trenox to back down. Trenox disrespectfullys tells "Don't give commands to me boy!" Trenox attacks Anakin fiercefully, but Anakin survived. Anakin then chases after Trenox fighting through Rodian mercenaries. Anakin enters the Core Bay, doing what he can to prevent Trenox from escaping. Trenox escaped via speeder, while Anakin tries to catch up destroying the turrets, Rodian mercenaries, a few Destroyer Droids, and Super Battle Droids. Anakin encounters a bounty hunter. Anakin asks the guy where Trenox is. The bounty hunter says that Anakin is too late. He says that Trenox is destroyed most of the Jedi Temple. Anakin hurriedly heads back to the Jedi Temple via another speeder.
Anakin encounters Dooku accompanied by a Cortosis Droid. Dooku greets him, "Master Skywalker. What a pleasant surprise... you are quite tenacious." Anakin was slightly enraged, "Dooku..." "Ah, and I see your arm has been replaced. Very good... it suits you." Anakin enragedly taunts, "Step forward and I'll show you what it can do." "Such passion. I do wish we had more time together, young Master, but for now I must attend to destroying the Jedi Archives." Anakin was shocked, "The Archives... you wouldn't... that's a millennia of knowledge, Dooku!" "Yes, quite sad. But it has been helping your Jedi friends too long. This is a war, and without the Archive's information, my forces will soon put to an end to this destructive conflict. You would choose the same path, I'm sure, given the opportunity." "I will never be like you, Dooku." "You will never have the chance, Skywalker. Goodbye." Dooku leaves, and the Cortosis Droid engages Anakin to a battle. Anakin sees a hologram of Obi-Wan. "Anakin! Where are you?!" "Master, the battle is a ruse! Count Dooku is here at the Temple- he's going to destroy the Jedi Archives! Do anything you can to slow him down, Anakin- I will bring reinforcemen... Argh!" "Master Kenobi! Are you hurt? Master?" Obi-Wan was not responding. Anakin says to himself "I have to do this myself." Anakin fights through the Sepearatist droids, and ends up at the Temple Library.
Anakin destroys all the droids in the Library, and encounters Trenox. Anakin asks where Dooku is. Trenox just says that he's too busy to deal with Anakin. He says that it's a shame that Anakin cannot understand the vision and power of Dooku's plan. He says that Anakin's devotion to the "silly" order has blinded him. Anakin is enraged, "Don't make me destroy you Trenox." "Hah... You won't live to see what the Count has promised!" Trenox engages Anakin in a battle. Anakin uses his hatred on Trenox, and succeeds at killing him. Yoda shows up on the hologram, and says that he's arrived with reinforcements.
Anakin asks "What about Dooku?" "Escaped he has. Return to the Council at once. Speak with you we must." Anakin heads back to the Council Chamber. Anakin asks, "Where is Master Kenobi?" Windu replies, "Wounded in the fight against Dooku. The Force will mend his wounds in time." Yoda comments, "Brave is Obi-Wan." Anakin apologizes, and blames himself, "I'm sorry, Masters- it never would've happened if I hadn't let Dooku escape..." Windu denies it, "No, you did well Padawan- it is the Council's fault: We should have sensed the deception earlier. And the information you've gleaned from Tatooine has been very helpful." Yoda says, "Hmm... yes. Much we have learned from you. Wat Tambor, leader of the Techno Union is he. He holds the plans to the Cortosis Droids. On Metalorn he is and there you must go. Stop him at all costs you must, before construct more droids he does." Windu adds, "We need you to retrieve the schematics, and return Wat Tambor to Coruscant unharmed." Anakin accepts the mission, "Yes Masters. I won't fail you." Anakin heads back to his Jedi Starfighter and travels to Metalorn Anakin then goes back to his starfighter to return to Coruscant.
Anakin arrives at the Production Facility, avoiding more alarms while fighting through droid resistance, and an occasional turret.
Anakin arrives at the Factory Core, after fighting through more droid resistance, he finds some explosive charges, which proved useful to destroy the base. The best way to destroy the base is to plant them near the factory reactors. Anakin plants the charges on the reactors he could see (4 or 5 reactors). After arriving on the third part of the core, Anakin meets Wat Tambor. "So Jedi, we finally meet. What do you think of my factory?" Anakin replies, "It's a marvel of the Techno Union. I'm going to feel terrible when I destroy it." "What?!" "Then you're coming with me to Coruscant. The Jedi Council has some questions for you about your experiments with Cortosis." "Ah, yes, cortosis. Let me introuduce you to Vandalor." Vandalor shows up, who turns out to be the bounty hunter Anakin met on Coruscant. Tambor continues, "I don't hink he approves of your plans for our factory." Anakin replies, "We've met before." Vandalor was silent. Tambor still continues, "And I have heard so much of your skill. I'm goin to feel terrible when Vandalor destroys you. Claim your bounty Vandalor!" Tambor leaves. Vandalor was armed with a jetpack and a staff capable of shooting lasers and a stunner drains Anakin's force powers. Whenever Anakin was hit, Anakin had to run and meditate to regain his force powers. Anakin force pushes Vandalor, and stroke him down before Vandalor could go airborne again. Anakin kept repeating until Vandalor dies. Anakin exits the room.
Anakin sees Tambor again. "Impossible!" "Next time you decide to hire protection I suggest you consult with the Jedi first. Now come with me." Tambor was furious, "Grrr! I don't seem to have a choice in the matter." Tambor reluctantly comes along. Anakin plants in the last charge. They had a minute and 30 seconds to evacuate. Anakin fights through the battle droids, two turrets, and two Cortosis Droids. They both got out before the explosion.
They end up at the Droid Factory Core, safely out of the blast. Anakin fights through Battle Droid resistance, and he and Tambor are out of the factory. Tambor was sad "My factory... my beautiful droids! The Jedi are a curse! One day, I tell you, I will build a machine to..." Anakin interrupts "Quiet... I sense something..."
Anakin enters another room, and Dooku shows up. "That would be your doom approaching, Padawan. Once, I thought you could be useful, but you are far too stubborn." Anakin retorts "... You are twisted, Dooku. The Jedi will put an end to your plans." Dooku was guessing, "Through you, I suppose, Master Skywalker? I think not. If you are the Republic's greatest hope, then they have much to fear. Remember what you lost when we last fought? That, sadly, is a mercy you will not be favored with again. Prepare to die, Skywalker." Anakin fights him, using his improved skills since his last battle on Geneosis. "You fight well boy. But you could be so much more." Anakin replies, "I am more powerful than you know Dooku." " You're wrong young one. If you were to release your angaer you would discover real power." "Your mind games won't work on me." "What's this I sense? Confusion... sorrow. And something more... Pain. Pain over your... mother (referring to Shmi Skywalker's death)." Anakin was enraged. "Stop it now Dooku... or I will finish you!" If only you had released your anger then... you might have been able to save her." "Ahhh!" Anakin uses his hatred to overpower Dooku. Anakin finally defeats him. Dooku says, "So I am beaten. Now you have tasted the power of the Dark Side." "No. You're wrong Dooku. Am I? My Master foresaw my defeat. You have yet to realize your importnace young Skywalker. Today you have ensured the fall of the Republic. Dooku passes out. Anakin returns to Tambor's location, and escorts him to his Jedi Starfighter. After returning, Anakin heads to the Council.
"I have defeated Count Dooku and destroyed the cortosis droid factory on Metalorn, my Masters." Windu replies, "You have struck a critical blow to the Separatists and their war effort. What of Wat Tambor?" "Supreme Chancellor Palpatine requested that he held under the watch of his personal guards." "That is an interesting request. The Council will speak with him about this matter later. As for you Padawan... to have faced Count Dooku and survived is impressive. Your skills are advancing rapidly." Yoda adds, "Yes. Powerful have you become! Mmm, powerful." Anakin says, "Thank you Masters. I was able to help the Order." Yoda says, "Vigilant we must be now. A growing shadow of darkness I sense. Weary from war the Republic grows." "I will always be here to serve the Jedi, Master Yoda. I give you my word..."
Dooku Outcomes:
Dooku's fate seems to be in question with the fans. There are four possible outcomes:
1. Dooku is left for dead (which the game seems to be pointing to, but highly impossible otherwise Dooku won't exist in Clone Wars, Galactic Battle Grounds Clone Campaigns, and Episode 3)
2. Dooku had a doppleganger(force projection of himself)taking his place (highly possible, since he was easy, and did not use his full potential)
3. Dooku was wounded, but got revived by Sidious (possible, but highly unlikely.)
4. Dooku lets Anakin think he defeated him to turn Anakin to the darkside and/or make Anakin think that he is more powerful than he is. (likely considering tyhat Dooku beats Anakin less than a month later in Clone Wars.)
