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.
This story is included in the
