Mission to Kudo III
Conflict
Objective
Confederacy of Independent Systems[1] Jedi GeneralAnakin Skywalker[1]
- "By ignoring Yularen's orders, freeing the slaves and inspiring them to fight the Separatists' battle droids, Anakin saved their lives. There was also a concomitant benefit of Anakin's insubordination: If the factory had been destroyed and the slaves killed, the Separatists would have used the brutal Republic attack as propaganda for recruiting neutral worlds to their cause."
- ―Kitrin Braves,Skywalker: A Family at War[3]
TheGalactic Republic initiated amission toKudo III during theClone Wars, acting on intelligence of a droid factory on the planet.
Prelude[]
In theClone Wars, following theBattle of Corvair, theGalactic Republic sent theResolute toKudo III based onintelligence about adroid factory on themoon.AdmiralWullf Yularen endorsed a plan tobomb the plant'sreactor, although it would cause heavy civiliancasualties while minimizingclone trooper losses.Jedi GeneralAnakin Skywalker decided to landhimself and investigate.[1]
The mission[]

Skywalker took hisstarfighter down to thefactory. He infiltrated inside, and discovered that theSeparatists hadenslaved theKudon; if the Republic had destroyed the factory it would have been apropaganda victory. Skywalker freed the slaves and they took up arms against thebattle droids.[1]
Aftermath[]
- "Do you think this will sway the Kudon to join the Republic? At the very least, I don't see them siding with the Separatists now."
- ―General Skywalker[1]
After the mission, Yularen and Jedi GeneralObi-Wan Kenobi understood the factory had been a Separatist ploy. If they had gone through with the admiral's plan, the deaths of the Kudon would have been used as a political weapon by the Confederacy to convince neutral systems to join. Now that they were free, Skywalker speculated that the Confederate slavery would push the Kudon to join the Republic.[1]
