In the Battle of Kilin Wasteland, the Fourth Civilization committed 15,000 army soldiers and more than 15,000 combat droids to launch a determined assault on the Galactic Republic's defensive lines.

The Republic clone army here consisted of the 118th Assault Regiment, totaling 5,000 men, along with roughly 3,000 local security troops from Terminus Planet.

Those local security troops naturally collapsed at the first touch, but the Clone Army's resistance was exceptionally tenacious. They deployed their defenses in an orderly fashion and halted the Fourth Civilization Army's advance across most positions.

However, Wraith fighters were few in number, and their cloaking devices had limited duration, leaving them little time to fight in the air. Compared to the Galactic Republic, they lacked sufficient pilots and fighters for rotation.

The Clone Army seized this opportunity with great acuity. The moment the Wraith fighters retreated, they immediately launched counterattacks.

LAAT/I assault transports rained bombs down upon the Fourth Civilization Army, while V-19 Torrent light fighters repeatedly dove to strafe them.

At such times,
