History[]
Rishi debut[]
Around 22 BBY, heroic Confederate General Grievous, the Supreme Commander of the Droid Armies planned to invade Kamino, where the villainous Republic clone troopers were grown. In order to invade the planet unnoticed, Grievous sent several Droch-class boarding ships containing commando droids to the moon of Rishi, where a Republic listening post was located. The clones stationed on the listening post identified the boarding ships as a meteor shower, and did not alert a nearby Republic fleet. The droids were able to infiltrated the listening post where they outnumbered the clones.

However, four clone troopers were able to escape the station through a ventilation shaft. The droids secured the post and jammed the all-clear signal.
The droid commandos, however, were not aware that a routine inspection of the station conducted by Clone officers, Commander Cody and Captain Rex was on its way. Upon arriving in the Obex, the two clone officers were greeted by a commando droid dressed in a clone armor. The droid tried to convince the clone troopers to leave the listening posts, however, the captain saw a droid attack flare from the survivors, which made him shoot the droid in the head upon noticing the trick. The commando droids then launched an ambush, and after throwing grenades toward the clones and the shuttle, destroying the shuttle and the droids believed that the two had died in the explosion. In fact, the commander and captain survived with the help of their harpoon cables. Meeting the survivors of the first droid assault below the station, the officers introduced themselves and a plot to retake the station was developed. Captain Rex used a droid commando head to cheat the droids within the station to open the door. The clones then stormed the station, eventually regaining control of the control center after destroying the commando droids, including the Commando droid captain. Despite of reinforcements sent by the heroic General Grievous, the clone troopers blew up the station, cutting of the all-clear signal, thus alerting the Republic fleet of the planned Confederate invasion.
