Battle of Skor II

OnALegendsArticle

"His Mace Windship will forever haunt Squibbish poems and jingles, and future fuzzlings will hear of the valiant Knight with his koovy purplish blade."
―King Ebareebaveebeedee, dedicating a statue to Mace Windu following the Battle of Skor II[2]

The Battle of Skor II was a clash between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems on Skor II, the home planet of the Squibs. Taking place in 22 BBY, a contingent of clone troopers under the command of Jedi Master Mace Windu and Clone Commander CC-2224 succeeded in liberating Metrobig City, which had been occupied by the droid army. In doing so, they thwarted the Separatist plan to mine the nearby Rimma Trade Route from Skor II.

Prelude

The Confederacy of Independent Systems occupied Skor II's Metrobig Interplanetary Blastport, intending to use the planet—the homeworld of the Squibs—as a base to place proximity mines throughout the outer Rimma Trade Route. In response, the Galactic Republic dispatched a contingent of clone troopers under the command of High Jedi General Mace Windu[2] and Marshal Commander CC-2224 to retake the world.[8]

The battle

Windu and CC-2224 led their clone troopers in recapturing Skor II from the occupational force of battle droids from the Separatist Droid Army, resulting in the liberation of Metrobig City.[2]

Aftermath

While Windu left Skor II, a clone trooper peacekeeping force was left on-world to monitor Separatist activity. King Ebareebaveebeedee of the Squibs dedicated a bronzium statue of Windu, whom he proclaimed as a "Big Time Hero of Beyond-Squib Eliteness," in Metrobig City.[2]

Behind the scenes

Although Republic HoloNet News Core Edition 14:9:01 implied that the Battle of Skor II occurred in 21 BBY,[2] The Official Starships & Vehicles Collection 32—which also incorporated Commander CC-2224's involvement in the battle, originally implied in the novel Labyrinth of Evil[6]—placed it prior to the Battle of Christophsis,[8] which The Essential Reader's Companion established as taking place within seven weeks of the start of the war.[4]
