Good job Revo! Nice detail and miniature cave.

Thanks for all the comments so far guys!

I think the first battle of Jabiim was in phase 1 (second was in phase III) but you said Separatist holdout, which means they were still fighting after old man Sidious declared the Galactic Empire beginning and the Clone Wars ended. This was when phase II troopers were around. Phase II didn't come about till a couple years after 19 BBY.

I'm a bit confused on your words, maybe this is just part of the first battle and you messed up wording.

Err...

Phase 1 refers to the first design of Clone Troopers, AKA AOTC Clones.

Phase 2 refers to the second design of Clone Troopers, AKA ROTS Clones.

Phase 3, well, they're StormTroopers.

I know. The Battle of Jabiim was fought with the clone troopers when they were wearing phase 1 armor. The second battle og Jabiim was fought when they were wearing phase III armor. The Separatist Holdouts were right after the Empire was founded, when clones were still wearing Phase II armor. That's why I'm confused, because they're wearing AOTC armor in a time when they should be wearing TORS armor, and it should be the Empire, not Republic, fighting the holdouts. That's what I'm trying to say.

Nope that's not what I'm getting. The most canon and reliable Star Wars information available, Wookieepedia, is telling me different. They're saying that there were 2 battles of Jabiim during the Clone Wars (both of which were fought in phase I as seen in pictures?) and in the Galactic Civil War, there were also another 2 battles. Check link. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_of_Jabiim

Also to clarify things, I originally intented to state that these 'downed' pilots were a preemptive event for the Second Battle of Jabiim during the Clone Wars, though obviously that would not be canon.

AOS, Legorev is right. I've read the comics to the second battle of Jabiim, they're all phase I.

I believe this is a pic of the Hawkbat battalion on Jabiim:

Okay, darn nice work with the tunnel. I simply love that feature, the use of the slopes is brilliant. Everything about this vig is simply impressive, although I could do without the energy field. I simply don't like it that much .

One problem with the story: If they are fighting Separatist holdouts, shouldn't they be in phase II, and be the Empire, not Republic?

I think that by holdouts he meant that they are the last of the forces in that area and are cut off from the CIS main body. Their only options, therefore, is to fight to the last droid, as droids are not programmed to surrender.

But that's not what I'm getting at either! Holdout! You said 'Holdout' in the description! That mean's it post Clone Wars!

Amazing what one little word can do.

Could be. But when I see Separatist Holdout, these come to mind: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Separatist_holdouts

True. That article however, uses the strategic sense of the word rather than the tactical sense (a strategic example is Stand Watie surrendering after the "end" of the American Civil War, while a tactical holdout is the lone squad trapped behind enemy lines in a stronghold.).

A holdout can just be place where a group has 'dug in' and is basically concentrating troops and firepower for an impending offensive attack. It doesn't mean solely that the clone wars are over.
