- "The Confederacy of Independent Systems is honoring Count Dooku with the Raxian Humanitarian Award."
- ―Asajj Ventress, to Quinlan Vos
The Raxian Humanitarian Award was an award presented by the Confederacy of Independent Systems to its leader, former Jedi Master Count Dooku. An extravagant gala was held on the Separatist capital planet Raxus[1] in 19 BBY[2] to commemorate Dooku receiving the award, an event at which the Jedi Master Quinlan Vos and Dooku's former assassin Asajj Ventress hoped to assassinate him. During the gala, the count gave a speech on the Separatists' ongoing struggle against the Galactic Republic in the Clone Wars, and expressed his gratitude for being honored with the award.[1]

Notes and references
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 Dark Disciple
- ↑ Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Character Encyclopedia - Join the Battle! dates the plot to assassinate Count Dooku to 19 years before Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, which corresponds to 19 BBY per Star Wars: Timelines. Therefore, the plot to assassinate Dooku—as well as the gala on Raxus—must have taken place in 19 BBY.
