"General Catrine wanted her well taken care of while she is away on her mission."
"So, you're saying… the Jedi are gone?"
―A clone trooper and Asajj Ventress in Outpost 716[1]

In 22 BBY[2] during the Clone Wars between the Confederacy of Independent Systems and Galactic Republic, Jedi General Mayanka Catrine departed from Outpost 716 for a mission. Before departing, Catrine ordered the outpost's clone troopers to keep good care of Asajj Ventress,[1] a major Separatist commander[3] whom she had taken prisoner with her Padawan,[1] Jedi Commander[4] Agustin, during Ventress's attack on Outpost 716. Unknown to them both, Ventress's attack had been a deception: she had allowed herself to be captured and then waited for the Jedi to depart for an opening to claim the outpost. After days of waiting inside a cell, Ventress overheard a clone trooper mention that Catrine was away on her mission. After questioning the trooper to confirm if both Jedi were gone, Ventress struck and destroyed the outpost.[1]

Star Wars: Galactic Atlas: Updated Edition dates both to 22 BBY, therefore placing the events of Hyperspace Stories 5 in the same year. As Mayanka Catrine's mission occurs during the events of Hyperspace Stories 5, it must also occur in 22 BBY.
