Four stories make up this, the sixth collection of Clone Wars comic tales:
Show of Force
Seventeen months after Geonosis, the Crimson Nova bounty hunter's guild is actively hunting down Jedi, gaining their attention and drawing their ire. When Mace Windu and a team of Jedi Masters personally investigate, they uncover a contract that has ties to Count Dooku- and his new disciple, the former Jedi Quinlan Vos.

Armor

Dreadnaughts of Rendili
Obi-Wan responds to a distress call and finds outlaw Jedi Quinlan Vos, on the run from Dooku since his failure to stop Aayla Secura from retrieving information on Honoghr. They both then encounter Asajj Ventress, determined as ever to destroy Kenobi. Escaping, the pair join Anakin and others at Rendili to persuade the system (and its formidable defense fleet) to join them. Will they succeed- or has another system joined the Separatist cause? Afterwards, Vos is returned to the Jedi Council for his fate to be decided. But all might not be as it seems . . .

Overall
Not as strong as prior offerings, On the Fields of Battle is still above-average as Star Wars tales go.
Rating: B
