Attack on the Trade Federation outpost

Betweeen 39 BBY and 36 BBY, during the conflict for ownership of the moon Alaris Prime between Wookiee colonists and the Trade Federation, a group of Wookiees led by Chewbacca attacked a Trade Federation outpost. The attack marked the beginning of Chewbacca's campaign to remove the Federation's presence from Alaris Prime following an attempt on the life of his father, Wookiee Chieftain Attichitcuk, with the outpost being chosen for the attack due to its production of B1-series battle droids. With the guidance of Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, the Wookiees created a base on the opposite side of a river near the outpost and began training more soldiers there after identifying the outpost's location. Chewbacca led the attack with a force of eleven other Wookiees, destroying the five battle droids guarding the outpost along with the troop center.
