The Battle of Anaxes of 20.1 BBY was the final confrontation between the Confederacy of Independent Systems' Bulwark Fleet and the Galactic Republic's Victory Fleet during the Clone Wars. After launching the Bulwark Fleet from the Foerost Shipyards, Confederate Admiral Dua Ningo initiated an intense campaign against the Core Worlds, coming close to seizing Coruscant itself. The Victory Fleet's commanders, Captains Jan Dodonna and Terrinald Screed, hunted down Ningo and engaged his Bulwark Mark I battlecruisers in a deciding clash over the planet Anaxes. Although Screed outmaneuvered and vaporized Ningo's flagship, killing the Separatist admiral, Screed's assault cost him damage to his own command ship, resulting in near-mortal injuries that forced him to undergo cybernetic reconstruction. Nevertheless, he and Dodonna both received the Holt Cross for their victorious actions over Anaxes.
