The galaxy is in turmoil and the Republic continues to be distracted by strife and chaos, allowing the Confederacy of Independent Systems, a separatist movement encompassing hundreds of planets and powerful corporate alliances, to pose a threat to the stability of the Republic that even the Jedi cannot stem. Investigating these treacherous machinations, Obi-Wan Kenobi discovers a secret clone army under the command of the Jedi Order and Anakin Skywalker, now a Jedi-in-training, pledges to protect Senator Amidala from the phantom menace that is threatening her life. Moves long planned by an as yet unrevealed and powerful force lead to the beginning of the Clone Wars - and the beginning of the end of the Republic.
