Battle of Felucia - The Battle

Although logically not canon, the Battle of Felucia goes as follows from the game Star Wars: Battlefront II: It started when the 182nd Legion of Clone troopers landed on Felucia. It was the last anyone has ever heard of them. So, around one month later, the 501st Legion landed to take over their place. They faced terror from swarms of wild acklay. After they nearly tore apart their unit, the troopers were able to eliminate all of the attacking beasts.

Aayla Secura then landed and helped out with the battle. She made a bold statement afterward, saying the 501st were the bravest troopers she'd ever seen.

Shu Mai, leader of the Guild, retreated from her homeworld Castelle to Felucia. In case Felucia would fall into the Republic's hands, she had pumps full of natural toxic chemicals to release into Felucia to give the Republic a "deadly prize." Jedi Barriss Offee and padawan Zonder were sent to capture Mai, but failed.

Commander Bly, Lt. Galle, and Aayla Secura, along with padawans Ekria and Drake'Logaan led the elite Star Corps to Felucia to rescue an abducted Offee. The Republic attack force was backed up by AT-APs, AT-OTs, AT-RTs and ISP Speeders. The Star Corps also learned to ride gelagrubs, large larva like beetles (a reference to when the Sandtroopers, who look like Star Corps, ride Dewbacks in Episode 4.) Upon reaching the detention facility, Bly, Secura and their squad destroyed all droid defenses. They ordered a Gossam worker to free Offee and Zonder, or die. Frightened, the Gossam freed them.

After leaving the facility, a group of Homing Spider Droids attacked. It was then, the message came in that Coruscant was under attack. They wanted to leave Felucia, but they decided to stay until Mai was captured.

Shu Mai secretly retreated Felucia.

The Jedi learned of the location of Mai's compound, and got on their BARC Speeders to advance toward the facility. A swarm of Droid Starfighters opened fire on the bikes, but a squadron of ARC-170s took them out.

After wiping out the defense in the compound, Ekria hacked into the central computer terminal, only to find out that Mai fled a few days earlier. Secura remarked by cursing and saying that Count Dooku had them chasing shadows. Ekria then shut down the droid beacon and allowed the clone troopers acess to the facility. Wanting to find out more information about the battle at Coruscant, Ekria manages to find a holo-news station, saying that the Separatist fleet is in full retreat, and that Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi rescued the Chancellor and killed Count Dooku.

Bly then told Secura that the air inside the compound was filling up with deadly toxins. To make matters worse, a self-destruct program in the facility will destroy the building within a matter of minutes. After escaping and clearing the area, the facility explodes.

In truth, the self-destruct program activated as part of Mai's earlier plan to poison Felucia if it falls in Republic hands. The poison started to spread, and the water facilities of Felucia will get infected and poison the water supply unless somebody does something.

Barriss Offee, the padawan trio and lieutenants Barr, Galle, and Inc took a squad of troopers and head toward some of the Felucian water facilities. After sighting the enemy defenses, Drake Lo'gaan tells Zonder to make the loudest noise possible. The droids got alarmed, and attacked the clone squadron, giving the padawans the oppurtunity to enter the facility. Lt. Inc gets gunned down by a Dwarf spider droid in the process.

Upon entering the facility, Drake, Zonder, and Ekria cut down several Gossam workers. Ekria checks the main computer and finds out the the poison has not yet reached the facility. She shuts down the main pipes, preventing the poison from reaching the plant, though she couldn't acess the other stations.

Note: Part of this story is not really what happened. The 501st never worked with General Secura, and the 182nd Legion fought on a different planet. However, that segment was put in Battlefront II to make the campaign more interesting and varied.
