Confronting The Clone Traitor

Rico's Brigade, the Rebels, and the recently liberated Wookies celebrate on the planet of Kashyyyk. Between this, and Alderaan and Mon Cala slipping into Rebel control recently - the former thanks to Rico and the Rebels cutting off all Imperial supply lines to the planet and Admiral Ackbar's leadership - it's clear that the Empire's grip over the southeast section of the galaxy is fading.

Rico has been treating the civilians of his conquered territories extremely well, inspiring rebellions in Imperial territories, but it makes little difference, as the Empire's army is still dumbfoundingly large.

Jayden Dooku is revealed to have developing more and more powerful droids, creating one of the most powerful armies in the galaxy. Dooku goes to a minor Rico's Brigade outpost and sends a parlay signal. The base accepts, and Jayden requests a meeting with Rico, which he gets.

Jayden insists that he has no quarrel with Rico's Brigade, only the Jedi they protect, who he blames for his father's death. He offers Rico's Brigade non-agression, and perhaps even battle droids if they hand over Obi Wan Kenobi and Mace Windu. Rico refuses, and assures him that his droids are no match for Rico's Brigade. Jayden accepts this news, and informs Rico that the spy in their ranks is none other than Rico's old squadmates, Rookie, before leaving.

Rico talks with Racket, and the two acknowledge that Rookie being the spy makes sense, since Rookie knew ever plan that was sabotaged, and Dooku wouldn't even know that they'd been dealing with a leak unless he had a contact in the Empire tell him about Rookie. Rico doesn't want it to be true, but they go to the hangar to confront Rookie. Rookie, however, has already left in a ship, having heard their conversation through a tiny bug on Racket's armor.

Rico gives chase with his fleet, and initially can't find Rookie, but then Racket uses the tracking device on Rookie's ship to track him to Ryloth.

Battle Results
Racket leads a large army through a desert into a dead forest, which is filled with Sand Troopers. Behind the forest, Rookie is with more Sand Troopers in a base. The two sides exchange heavy fire in the forest, but the Sand Troopers fall quickly. The clones move up the hill towards the base - a single clone killing several Sand Troopers with a grenade - and defeat the exterior defenses before moving in. The Sand Troopers inside get suppressed and Racket leads his force in en-masse. Rookie goes down, and Rico's Brigade wins.
