Just like the rest of them, though, he never caught a whiff of what was really going on, until it was far too late.
What Ki-Adi-Mundi didn't know however was that our unit of the 501st was really after an experimental Mygeetan power source that the Chancellor wanted for his "superlaser." Keeping Mundi in the dark wasn't easy the Jedi had become increasingly wary of the Chancellor's doings, and were on the lookout for the slightest hint of treachery. When we arrived at the bombed-out ruins of Mygeeto, our Jedi commander believed we had been sent to take out a droid energy collector. In the waning months of the Clone Wars, the 501st faced missions critical to the agenda of Chancellor Palpatine. Incredibly, the 501st survived the crucible of Geonosis, emerging battle-hardened, and ready for whatever the war would throw at us. it doesn't really prepare you for all the screaming or the blood, does it? Frankly I'm still amazed we ever made it through the first hour, never mind the first day. Of course, that's pretty much the way it was for all of us, wasn't it? All that breeding, all those years of training. it was hot, sandy, chaotic, nothing at all like the simulations on Kamino. A Clone Trooper who would later become a member of the 501st compiled this entry. Note: The 501st Legion was not created until after the Battle of Geonosis.
