Synopsis:
THE HARUUN KUL CRISIS
Shortly after the Clone Wars began at the battle of Geonosis, the Separatists moved on to the planet Haruun Kal, a jungle world who's system, Al'Har, is a key hyperspace junction, connecting several Separatist worlds together. While the system is not the most important militarily, Haruun Kal's native population is mostly Force-sensitive, a resource that the Republic had to keep from the Separatist government. As the Separatists moved on world, the Republic's army could not afford to maintain a large military presence on Haruun Kal. Instead, the Jedi Council sent a Jedi, Depa Billaba, to train resistance fighters to force the Separatists off world. They ultimately succeeded. Depa however, remained out of contact, and when a hologram appeared, implicating Depa with the murder of civilians, Jedi Master Mace Windu went personally to apprehend his former Padawan learner.
