The Battle of Dantooine is a fictional conflict in the animated series.

Attempting to strike back at the Republic incursion on Muunilinst , the Confederacy Of Independent Systems used Dantooine as a staging point to launch an attack against the Assault Ship blockade around the Banking Clan headquarters. However, Jedi Master Mace Windu learned of the Confederate presence on Dantooine, and left with a force of Clone Troopers to halt the progress of the Separatist s.

War erupted on Dantooine as clones and Droid s clashed in a vast, open field. The clone troopers used Blasters and Missile launchers to counter the massive numbers of Battle Droid s they faced, whereas the droids used missiles to shoot down many gunships and overwhelming firepower to cause many losses in the clone ranks. However with Mace at their side, the clones started to gain the upper hand. However, the battle was suddenly turned upside down with the arrival of the deadly Seismic Tank .

The tank used its large seismic driver - once used in peace-time for mining operations - to blast a huge swath through the clone trooper ranks, either crushing them outright or sending soldiers flying from the shockwave. In the confusion, Windu lost his Lightsaber , and was forced to fight a number of droids unarmed. Retrieving his lightsaber amid another seismic shockwave, Mace leapt towards the enemy tank.

Breaching the hull, Mace entered the core, and disabled the seismic driver. Battling his way to the bridge, Mace destroyed the tank's droid crew, and knocked out the controls. Leaping clear, Mace watched on as the seismic tank smashed into the ground and exploded. The battle was won.
