"There's a large-scale civil war on Balith. They've requested our assistance. Anakin, you will leave immediately to command the Third Legion."
―Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi[3]

Balith was a planet located in the Inner Rim's Balith system.[1] During the year 21 BBY,[4] in the Clone Wars, the system erupted into civil war, and Jedi General Anakin Skywalker and Clone Captain Rex were sent to the world by Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi to command the Third Legion.[3]
