"After consulting with the Jedi Council, I ordered him to first establish a base on Aereen and to subdue the Trade Federation miners. This would establish a foothold in the system from which we could further assess the situation."
―Mace Windu[1]

The Battle of Aereen was between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars.

Prelude

"Soon after arriving in the Krant system, strange signals were received from the supposedly abandoned moon of Aereen. Echuu discovered an illegal Trade Federation mining operation on Aereen. General Tann had decided to secretly use the colony to supply the new Confederacy Decimator facilities on Krant with a constant source of raw materials."
―Mace Windu[1]

Early during the Clone Wars,[2] the Trade Federation established a mining colony on the mineral-rich moon Aereen to support Decimators factories on Krant.[1]

The battle

"Master Echuu, the Council needs you to eliminate the mining facility."
―Mace Windu[1]

The Trade Federation had built a base on Aereen and had begun to produce an army. Echuu Shen-Jon and Nat Reath arrived with an attack force and began fighting their way through the turrets and Trade Federation forces. Eventually, the Republic forces made their way to the main base and destroyed it, along with the Neimoidian leader Plure Barron.

Aftermath

"Aereen had been captured in the name of the Republic. This provided Echuu's forces with an excellent jump point for the invasion of Krant."
