Things are not looking good for the Galactica Republica in the Clone Wars. The Confederacy of Independent Systems has spread throughout the Galaxy. The latest organization to join is the InterGalactic Banking Clan, based on Muunilinst. After Anakin bids his secret wife Padme Naberrie farewell, he and Obi-Wan leave with a squad of clone troopers for Muunilinst. Mundi and Shaak Ti continue to duel Grievous, but are outmatched. Shaak Ti is thrown into a nearby wall and buried under debris. Mundi, almost overcome by his emotions, charges at Grievous.
