It has been three weeks since the Second Battle of Geonosis. With a major amount of Separatist Droid foundries taken offline and the capture of Poggle the Lesser, the Republic seems intent on pushing forward against the enemy.

However, trouble has begun to stir in the outer rim. A Republic base holding a prototype Hyperdrive has been attacked, and the valuable piece of technology stolen by the Separatists. The Hyperdrive contains necessary coordinates and access codes to reach the Inner Republic Systems, including Kamino and Coruscant.

At the request of the Chancellor and the Senate, the 212th and 501st Clone Legions, along with a Republic Task Force led by Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Ahsoka Tano are dispatched to the last known location of the Separatist fleet that took the Hyperdrive.

However, neither the Militia or the IMC knew that their actions would have consequences in a galaxy unknown to either side...
