Republic Evacuation of Jabiim

The Republic's disastrous Jabiim campaign during 22 BBY ends with an ignominious evacuation offworld. Ordered to pacify the native civil war occurring between Jabiimi separatist and loyalist factions, a clone task force led by a sizable contingent of Jedi was dispatched to the muddy planet of Jabiim. Despite some early success against the Jabiim separatists, the arrival of CIS war materiel and troops spelled certain doom for the outnumbered Republic forces. Worst of all, the constant storms and lack of adequate transports meant the Republic forces had to abandon their loyalist allies, to the great dismay and seething, generational fury of the Jabiimis.

 

Here, ARC Trooper Alpha-17 communicates with General Skywalker while a gunship with another Jedi commander arrives to evacuate the clones from a hard-fought separatist position, with loyalists shouting in anger to be left behind.

 

I hope you enjoy this build! I finished it in the summer of 2022 and displayed it at Brick Rodeo but only recently took photos. It started as a simple stand to display my friend RichboyeJhae's amazing Republic Gunship MOC, which I modded to be weathered and mud-stained, but quickly expanded into a full-fledged MOC with trenchworks and all. This was also intended to be a terrain-testing MOC for a much larger similar one that I've been working/procrastinating on for three years now. Stay posted for my (hopeful) completion of it by the end of the summer.

 

Credits to Jhae for his epic gunship design, and my friends Jako of Nerogue and Roanoke Handybuck for invaluable terrain-building help during the flurry to finish it at Brick Rodeo last year <3
