The Battle of Jabiim was a major battle of the Clone Wars between the Confederacy of Independent Systems and the Galactic Republic that took place on the planet Jabiimi in 22 BBY. The Republic had stuck it's nose in a civil war that had rumbled on months in order to preserve Jabiimi mining, and the Confederacy supported a group of Jabiimi rebels with munitions and droid soldiers.
The Republic Attack Force that had been dispatched to Jabiimi initially gained some ground, but ended up spreading themselves thin, and the Confederates, led by Alto Stratus and Dark Jedi Asajj Ventress, quickly gained the upper hand. Suffering heavy losses and pursued by the Separatists, the remaining attack force soldiers and Jedi retreated to the southern hemisphere of the planet.
Only the valiant last stand of a quickly formed battle group of clone troopers and Jedi Padawans prevented a total rout by tying up large Separatist forces for several days in the battle of Cobalt Station, buying the remnants of the Republic task force enough time to evacuate off the planet. Once the force head retreated they had realized that the battle was pretty much an all out loss. A last ditch attack had been approved by the Jedi Council but Master Yoda and Master mace Windu knew it was going to be an all out massacre. When word got back to the Jedi Knights and Padawans to go forth with the attack, It ended up being a slaughter. This gave the last bit of Republic Forces to exit the planet and return back to Coruscant.
When the remaining forces returned, beaten, battered and defeated, Yoda inspected the remaining ranks and was extremely displeased. Not, of course, with the solders, but with the way the Separatists had been so well equipped and how the Confederate enthusiasts were able to over throw the Republic Attack Force. After returning to the Jedi Temple, Yoda had pulled Mace Windu aside and began to speak with him about maybe needing something to gain the upper hand with in this war.
"Defeat we had been. Broken the soldiers are. Under went complete dissatisfaction the Special Forces took. Something must be done or a short war this will be. Short and damaging for The Republic." Yoda had spoke sincerely to Mace Windu. Mace knew it would be a long and arduous war with many casualties on both sides. The way, though, that the Separatists were able to come together and easily defeat the Special Forces.
"Yoda, This defeat is very disturbing. The Confederate Forces should not of been this well equipped. Something is going to be needed. Maybe we should activate operation "Inquisitor" and train some new blood to infiltrate behind enemy lines and gather strategic information to give our troops the upper hand. We cannot risk losing to the CIS. We cannot risk Darth Sidious and Count Dooku, along with their cronies, to be the ultimate force with in the galaxy. We need to keep the Republic intake. This is going to be the only way we are going to gain the upper hand."
Master Yoda had lowered his head. He was not sure he wanted to do this. He was not sure he wanted to train padawans and lose their ranks. Yoda had though about it and looked at Master Windu
"Idea I have. Instead of training padawans, clones we could use. Kaminoians we could commission. Pay them, clone friends we could. Deceased friends."
"You mean, The vault? The DNA of fallen Jedi? There are so many! Who would we initially use? Who would be the prime candidate? The perfect........Qui-Gon Jinn." Mace had instantly thought of it. Qui-Gon Jinn was not only a friend but a very very skilled Jedi. Older, Experienced and had the right amount of defiance with in him. The force connection was unbreakable. If The Kaminoians could recreate Jango Fett perfectly, they could clone a Jedi and get the DNA perfectly. This meant the Midiclorians and all, connecting the clone to the force as if they were harnessing it from Birth. Yoda seemed to like the idea that Mace had spoke of. Next step would be to talk tot he Kaminoians.
