Lush tropical rainforest surrounds the city itself, edging ever inwards despite the determined efforts of the city denizens to keep the greenery from encroaching. Despite their best efforts, of course, flowers and vines bloom in every available nook and cranny, crease and crevice. A mere handful of steps outside of the city proper and one easily finds themselves wading through thick undergrowth, beset by swarms of insects and eyed by countless insect and animal eyes that would track such movements. The passage of the battle droids into the lush undergrowth is marked by broken foliage, chopped back vines and broad leaves, the droids one step away from beginning a slash and burn tactic to 'flush' their quarry from the underbrush.
