Unidentified rocky planet


A rocky planet was the site of several battles in 22 BBY during the Clone Wars. While there, Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi, Clone Commander Cody, Jedi Commander Anakin Skywalker, and several clone troopers of the Galactic Republic worked to destroy Separatist battle droids. After the deaths of four troopers, their colleague Sister arranged their helmets in a memorial and conversed with Skywalker afterward. Later the same year, Skywalker and Sister were sent on the same aid mission, with the former recalling they had both fought together on the rocky planet previously.

Description


A planet had a breathable Type I atmosphere. Its surface featured rocky plains dotted with bantha-sized boulders and trees.

History


In 22 BBY, during the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, the Grand Army of the Republic and the Separatist Droid Army fought a series of battles on the world. While the fighting raged in the planet's skies, ground forces engaged each other on the surface below. Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi, Clone Commander Cody, and Jedi Commander Anakin Skywalker of the Republic's 7th Sky Corps traveled to the planet with several other clone troopers, one of which was the trooper Sister, to participate in the conflict. Over some time, the Republic forces fought through several skirmishes against Separatist battle droids, with Kenobi and Skywalker slashing through the droids easily using their lightsabers. As the pair continued combating droids, their troopers focused on a separate engagement with the enemy forces. Though Kenobi expressed exasperation about the continued engaging in violence, Skywalker stated he enjoyed it.

During one of the battles, four clone troopers were killed. Their comrade, Sister, arranged the helmets of her fallen brothers beneath a tree as a memorial. Afterward, she and Skywalker conversed about the former's gender identity before walking toward Kenobi's location to rendezvous. Shortly afterward, Cody alerted via comm that more battle droids were inbound. Skywalker used the Force to throw one of the planet's boulders into the incoming forces, which Kenobi watched with fond exasperation. Later the same year, when Skywalker and Sister were sent on an aid mission to the mining planet Langston, the former remembered working with the trooper in their prior engagement on the rocky world.

Behind the scenes


The rocky planet appeared in Queen's Hope, a 2022 young-adult novel written by E. K. Johnston. The scene depicting the planet was not present in Johnston's first draft of the novel, which was submitted to Lucasfilm Story Group's Jennifer Heddle at some point between December 18, 2020, and May 4, 2021. To meet some of the Story Group's suggestions, she added the rocky planet meeting of Sister and Skywalker. After the scene's drafting, the author briefly considered swapping Sister's role in the scene with that of Clone Commander Sticks—another trooper in the novel—but ultimately decided against it.
