Agamar system

For other uses, see Agamar (disambiguation).

"We've intercepted a rebel transmission from the Agamar system before it was received by the rebel ship."

The Agamar system, also known as the Mirgoshir system, was a star system that contained the planet Agamar located in the Outer Rim Territories. Near the end of the Clone Wars, a battle took place between the Galactic Republic and Separatist Alliance above Agamar, resulting in the crash of the Separatists' supply ship during the battle.

Several years after the war's end, during the Galactic Civil War, Agamar served as the site of an engagement between rebel forces and an army of Separatist battle droids led by super tactical droid General Kalani. During the battle, the rebels and battle droids joined forces against the Galactic Empire, who launched an attack on Agamar, resulting in the evacuation of both the rebels and droids.

History[]

Clone Wars[]

"Salvage the remaining arms and withdraw the army. Bring them to Agamar."

―Count Dooku, to Kalani during the Onderonian Civil War^[6]

During the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, sometime after his defeat during the civil war on the planet Onderon, the super tactical droid General Kalani was ordered to withdraw what forces remained and retreat to the planet Agamar, where he was to await further orders.^[6] While above the planet in a DH-Omni Support Vessel, Kalani and his forces were engaged by Republic forces and crashed on the surface,^[7] and remained stranded as the war moved toward its conclusion.^[3]

Sometime later, following the deaths of the Separatist Council on the planet Mustafar^[8] in 19 BBY,^[9] Kalani received the order to deactivate himself and his droids. However, the droid assumed it to be a Republic trick and refused to comply with the order, and as a result,^[3] Kalani and his garrison^[10] of battle droids were left on Agamar for several years.^[3]

Imperial Era[]

Rebels and droids vs Imperials — The rebels and droids battle against Imperial forces.

Seventeen years after the transition of the Galactic Republic into the Galactic Empire,^[11] during the Galactic Civil War, a group of rebels from Phoenix Cell went on a supply mission to Agamar in hopes of recovering proton bombs. Former Clone Captain Rex and the Spectres landed on the surface and entered the wreckage of Kalani's Dual Hemisphere-Omni Support Vessel, where they were captured by the B1-series battle droids of the still active super tactical droid.^[3]

Brought aboard the supply ship's command bridge, the rebels were greeted by Kalani, who stated that while the Clone Wars had ended for most of the galaxy with the Separatist Droid Army's deactivation, he and his droids remained active after Kalani had refused to follow the order. As a result, he forced the rebels to partake in a combat simulation against his garrison in order for Kalani to end the Clone Wars in a Separatist victory. However, the rebels managed to survive Kalani's waves of B1 battle droids and droidekas and made their way back up to the command bridge, where Padawan Ezra Bridger convinced both Rex and Kalani that the Clone Wars did not end in a victory for neither the Republic nor the Separatists, but a victory for the Empire.^[3]

Amid their conversation, the Empire, which had intercepted a transmission from the C1-series astromech droid Chopper, dispatched an Imperial I-class Star Destroyer alongside two Gozanti-class cruisers, where they deployed several squadrons of Imperial stormtroopers, two All Terrain Defense Pods and two All Terrain Armored Transports. As a result, the rebels and Kalani joined forces against the Empire, destroying an AT-AT in the process, which gave them both an opening to flee the planet aboard Sheathipede-class transport shuttles.^[3]

Behind the scenes[]
