The Qiilura system was a star system in the sector of the same name in the Mid Rim Territories.[1] In 20 BBY,[2] during the Clone Wars, the Confederacy of Independent Systems launched an annexation of system. Attempting the block the Confederacy's movements, the Galactic Republic dispatched forces of the 104th Battalion under the command of Clone Commander Wolffe aboard an Acclamator-class transgalactic military assault ship to the star system. However, Wolffe and his forces were diverted from the Qiilura system to the planet Aleen in order to perform a relief mission and provide aid to its Aleena natives.[3]
