The Battle of Azure Spaceport was a conflict that occurred in the early stages of the Clone Wars in which Separatist forces tracked the Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi, Siri Tachi, Anakin Skywalker, and Senator Padmé Amidala by means of a tracer device planted in a foolproof codebreaker. This had been brought by Talesan Fry, who agreed to turn the codebreaker over to the Old Republic at a hidden base on the planet Azure.
It possessed meager defenses and was severely outnumbered by the huge Separatist fleet. The Republic forces had to surrender control of the planet. General Solomahal, the Commander of the base, was determined not to let the codebreaker into Separatist hands, thus facilitating its destruction prior to his capture.
