"Republic Intelligence has concluded its inquiry into the Carida Incident, and I am appalled. The actions of the Jedi Council directly contributed to a dozen ships of the line complete with their experienced command crews being jeopardized by Separatist sabotage."

―Wilhuff Tarkin^[7]

The Carida Incident was the result of a mission undertaken by the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The Separatists sabotaged the Venator-class Star Destroyer Renown by loading it with rhydonium canisters with the intention of ramming it into the Valor space station, the site of the Republic strategy conference in 20 BBY.

The mission

After escaping the wasteland planet of Abafar, the D-Squad took refuge in the Venator-class Star Destroyer Renown, on which they planned to return the stolen Separatist encryption module, but they discovered it was overrun by droids. They undertook efforts to disrupt the Confederate plot and stop the ship from destroying a Republic strategy conference in the Carida system.
