The Muunilinst 10 was an elite group of ARC TRoopers that consisted of two Alpha-ARC Troopers,
seven infantry Clones with specialized training and was led by ARC Trooper Fordo himself.
ARC Trooper Fordo and the two Alpha ARC troopers were trained by Jango Fett himself on Kamino,
making them one of the most formidable combat squads of the Grand Army of the Republic.
So how did this elite group of Clones save the republic and capture a major separatist
leader?
I’m going to break down exactly how the Muunilist 10 saved the Republic and how they
decimated the intergalactic banking clan.

The first mission for the Muunilinst 10 came when they were deployed to the planet Muunlinst,
with the goal of destroying a separatist artillery cannon, and capturing key officials from the
InterGalactic banking Clan.
They reported directly to General Obi-Wan Kenobi, and were to keep him updated on the
progress of the mission.
The Intergalactic banking clan were providing a significant amount of resources to the separatists,
handing out funding for their war effort, and funding the production of many warships
to be used in the fight against the Republic.
Chancellor Palpatine ordered the invasion of Muunilinst because he believed that capturing
the headquarters of the intergalactic banking clan would deal a major blow to the separatists,
and leave them unable to provide funding for the rest of the war.
Because Palpatine was obviously playing both sides of the war, this strategy was all part
of his larger plan to end the Clone Wars and the Jedi Order later on.
Despite some concerns from Master Yoda and Obi-Wan about whether or not he was ready,
Anakin Skywalker was also appointed commander of the Republic space forces in the planet’s
orbit, finally giving him the military rank of Commander.
The Muunilinst 10 were well known within the Grand army of the Republic as the best of
the best.
Each trooper within this group was an elite combatant that was chosen because they had
proven themselves in previous battles and conflicts.
Because of this status, the Grand Army of the Republic was happy to provide any weapon
or piece of equipment asked for by the group, allowing them to be one of the most fierce
fighting forces on the battlefield.
The standard Clone Troopers of the group carried DC-15A blaster rifles, which were requested
because they were the weapon that the troopers were most comfortable with.
Some of the ARC Troopers of the group chose to use Westar M5- Blaster rifles, while ARC
Trooper Fordo carried his modified DC-17 hand blasters.
On top of this, the group also carries thermal detonators, heat signature detectors, a PLX-1
portable missile launcher and droid poppers to aid them in any of the elite combat missions
they were given.
So once you’ve heard the story of how the Muunilinst 10 fared in the battle of Muunilsinst,
remember to leave a comment down below telling me who your favourite member is.
As the Muunilinst 10 were travelling towards their drop zone inside of a modified LAAT
Gunship, they were shot down by a B1 Battle droid with a rocket launcher, causing them
to plunge towards the ground, where they eventually crash landed in Harnaidan City, the Capital
of Muunilinst.
ARC Trooper Fordo, looking absolutely awesome, and all of his men managed to escape the wreckage
of the crash without a scratch, but moments after they exited their fallen gunship, they
were barraged by droid sniper fire from above.
Unfortunately, CT-43/002, one of the regular Clones who made up the Muunilinst 10 was hit
by the droid snipers and killed instantly.
9 Clones remain.
In retaliation, Fordo then ordered two of his men to distract the droid snipers above,
and another Clone to scan the area for hidden droid enemies.
Then After swiftly scanning the buildings around their crash site, one of the ARC Troopers
used a PLX-1 portable missile launcher to destroy the ledges of the buildings that the
droid snipers were standing on, sending them plummeting to the ground with a loud clank.
Following this the group was confronted by a separatist Armored Assault Tank which began
firing on them, but one of the unidentified ARC Lieutenants quickly sprung into action,
popping open the tank and planting several high powered blast charges inside, destroying
the vehicle.
This was absolutely awesome to see, and just shows how elite this group of ARC Troopers
really were.
After this, Fordo sent up a specialized Commando Recon Droid, which was exclusively used by
Clone Commandos and ARC TRoopers.
The recon droid scanned the area and finally discovered the location of the firing artillery
weapons, which was the main objective of the group.
Fordo quickly opened up a hologram communication with General Kenobi and informed him that
their target had been spotted.
Obi-Wan then ordered the Muunilinst 10 to continue on to phase two of the mission, which
was to destroy the Cannon.
The Muuns of the banking clan were deeply worried at this point, but there was absolutely
nothing they could do, with the Republic forces quickly closing in and taking control of their
capital city.
The group then awesomely used Grappling lines to move their way up the droid command centre
inside of the artillery station, and destroy the droid control station where the weapon
was being fired from with the same rocket launcher from earlier.
After destroying the droid firing station, the group placed a large amount of high power
blast charges on the barrel and base of the weapon, priming it ready to blow, and permanently
disable the weapon.
After realizing that their primary defences had been disabled by the elite group of ARC
TRoopers, the members of the Intergalactic banking clan council began to panic, releasing
that they were left incredibly vulnerable.
This obviously caused extreme distress for Count Dooku, because he realized that without
the survival of the Banking Clan, the separatists would have no way to fund the production of
new battle droids to continue the war.
If Muunilinst was lost, the separatists would be severely weakened, saving the Republic
from an extreme onslaught of Droid forces on every one of the worlds under their control.
The group eventually detonated the blast charges and destroyed the artillery cannons once and
for all.
Once the control tower and canons were destroyed, Fordo and his men waited for the arrival of
Obi-Wan to assist them in making a final push for the central command centre, where Intergalactic
Banking Clan council were monitoring the status of the invasion.
Their goal was to capture the central command centre, and take key separatist leaders prisoner,
therefore winning the battle and blocking the Banking Clan from continuing to fund the
separatist droid army for the time being.
After Obi-Wan arrived on the top of the operations tower to meet the Elite ARC Troopers, they
moved to the central command centre of the Muun Council and blaster their way in through
the ceiling.
The ARC Troopers gilded their way down to the ground with grappling lines and opened
fire on the droid security inside.
Once Obi-Wan hit the floor, he destroyed multiple Droidekas, while Fordo captured San Hill,
who you will remember from Revenge of the Sith.
And also, he was the son of Darth Plagueis’ good friend, Larsh hill.
Obi-Wan offers the Muun a chance to unconditionally surrender, but he is interrupted by the awesome
bounty hunter Durge.
The muunilinst ten open fire on Durge and Kenobi is eventually able to kill him, but
not after having to use every trick in the book to stop him from regenerating his lost
limbs.
After destroying Durge and capturing the leadership of the Intergalactic Banking Clan, the Republic
had all but assured themselves victory on Muunilinst, and therefore putting a stop to
the funding of the Separatist droid army… at least for now.
At this point in the war, the Republic was in one of their weakest periods, meaning that
if this attack on Muunilinst had failed, the Republic would be in serious danger of collapsing.
But Darth Sidious would of course never let that happen anyway.
Having surrendered, San Hill was taken into custody by the Republic and the majority of
the Battle droids on Muunilinst were deactivated.
San Hill of course later escaped from Republic imprisonment, but the damage was done to the
reputation and morale of the Banking Clan.
With most of the leadership of the Banking clan put on public trial, their allegiance
the separatist became common knowledge, potentially endangering many deals and partnerships that
were currently in the works.
Because of his status as a wanted criminal within the Republic, Hill was not able to
return to Muunilinst immediately, and instead was forced to roam the galaxy aboard General
Grievous’ ship, with the rest of the Separatist council, hoping to avoid capture and further
imprisonment by the Republic and the Jedi.
After making an incredible impact at the Battle of Muunilinst and saving the Republic from
the tight grip of the Muun banking clan, the group were sent to the planet Hypori to rescue
surviving Jedi after the Battle of Hypori.
Fordo and his men scanned for signs of life on the planet, eventually discovering Ki-Adi
Mundi, who had been disarmed by General Grievous.
Grievous was about to deal the killing blow to Ki-Adi Mundi, when Fordo and his men opened
fire on him, ultimately saving his life.
Unfortunately many of Fordo’s men were killed by Grievous during the mission, but the rescue
of Ki-Adi Mundi was ultimately a success.
For his brave actions at the battle of Muunilsnt, combined with his heroic rescue of Mundi on
Hypori, Fordo was awarded the prestigious Mandalorian Jaig Eyes.
Jaig eyes were awarded for the most stunning of acts of bravery during the war, an accolade
that Captain Rex also achieved.
So that is how the Muunilinst 10 saved the Republic from the rapidly increasing droid
production and expanding influence of the separatist alliance through capturing the
leadership of the Intergalactic banking Clan.
