Annexation of the Qiilura system

The annexation of the Qiilura system was an operation launched by the Confederacy of Independent Systems in 20 BBY to take over the Qiilura system during the Clone Wars. The location of Qiilura thus became a battleground. To try to block the annexation attempt, the Galactic Republic deployed an Acclamator-class transgalactic military assault ship, which carried forces from the 104th Battalion under the command of Clone Commander Wolffe to the battle on Qiilura.

However, because a series of devastating groundquakes rocked the Mid Rim planet Aleen, the Acclamator, joined by a trio of Pelta-class frigates, and Wolffe's clone troopers—joined by protocol droid C-3PO and astromech droid R2-D2—were redirected to perform a desperately needed relief mission on Aleen. The battalion was under orders to unite with its Jedi General, Plo Koon, once the mission was complete and after rendezvousing with Jedi General Adi Gallia, who was also involved in the mercy mission, aboard her Venator-class Star Destroyer.
