Jedi Master Mace Windu and his clone troopers are trying to take back Lessu, capital of Ryloth, from the Separatists and capture Emir Wat Tambor. In order to do that, Mace attempts to ally with the Twi'lek Resistance led by Cham Syndulla. But General Syndulla doesn't trust that the Republic forces won't overstay their welcome or Rylothian Senator Orn Free Taa, who he sees as corrupt. He changes his mind after Commander Ponds reports to Mace that the Separatists have bombed inhabited villages. Ultimately, Ryloth is liberated by the Republic and Tambor is captured.
