Anakin and Obi-Wan have taken into custody the evil Dr. Nuvo Vindi, creator of the deadly Blue Shadow Virus. But as Padmé, Jar Jar and Ahsoka oversee cleanup, they realize that a vial of the deadly substance has gone missing. An explosion releases the virus inside Vindi’s compound, infecting some inside, including Ahsoka. The Republic forces must prevent the remaining battle droids from releasing the virus onto the planet. Anakin and Obi-Wan, meanwhile, undertake a mission to obtain the antidote from the planet Iago before the virus takes its toll.
