It was assumed that Trench went down with his ship, but the tactics used in the earlier battle and the appearance of Trench's symbol makes Yularen believe his old enemy has returned. Only when a Jedi-led task force arrived did the tide of battle turn. Yularen, who fought at the battle, relates the known facts: Trench had been in command of a corporate fleet blockading Malastare and his tactics had been deadly enough to thwart the Republic fleet sent against him Yularen comments that he lost many good men and the Republic fleet barely managed to survive. Anakin is surprised since history tells Trench perished at the Battle of Malastare Narrows. Catching up with Anakin as the Jedi is about to depart, Yularen explains that the symbol is the personal crest of the infamous Admiral Trench. Meanwhile, Admiral Yularen does some research of his own and notices something on the enemy flagship: a strange emblem that he recognizes in horror. Obi-Wan insists that his new mission is not to engage the Separatist fleet instead Anakin is to use the stealth ship to sneak through the blockade and deliver supplies to Bail on the planet. Trench allows them to go, surmising that they will be back.Ĭrossing over to Obi-Wan's cruiser, Anakin discovers that his Master has brought a new weapon with him: a heavily armed stealth ship equipped with a powerful cloaking device. At the insistence of Obi-Wan (saying that he has a new toy) and Yularen, Anakin reluctantly orders a retreat to behind Christophsis' moon. As Anakin prepares to launch a full attack on the enemy flagship, another Republic Jedi cruiser called the Negotiator that is commanded by Obi-Wan Kenobi emerges from hyperspace. The enemy flagship Invincible defeats the Republic fleet: the Separatist commander Admiral Trench concentrates his fire on the smaller Republic supply ships. Unfortunately, the hologram is cut off while Anakin and Yularen desperately try to salvage their own losing battle against the Separatist blockade around Christophsis. Separatist forces are on the verge of overrunning his position and his resources (food, water, and munitions) have all but run out.
