After the Republic conquers an Umbaran airbase, General Krell orders Rex and his men on towards the heavily fortified capital. Realizing there's a better plan, several clone troopers disobey orders to carry out a rogue, covert operation.
General Krell orders Captain Rex and the clone troopers of the 501st Legion to conquer a heavily fortified Umbaran airbase, and will not accept anything less than victory. It is an almost certain suicide mission, unless the clones can use their ingenuity to defeat their new enemy.
When Anakin is forced to temporarily turn over command of his clone troopers to a new commander, the Jedi Pong Krell, tensions begin to run high as the clones are assigned with a very deadly mission to take the capital of Umbara.
After an attack from General Grievous, R2-D2 and C-3PO find themselves on a series of adventures to get back to Coruscant.
Plo Koon's clone legion "The Wolfpack", R2-D2 and C-3PO are set to help the planet of Aleen in its time of need, but the droids discover some importance to the planet's situation.
