Battle of Felucia (Outer Rim Sieges)

The Battle of Felucia occurred late in the Clone Wars, part of the Outer Rim Sieges. It was initially a mission assigned to the 182nd Legion of the Grand Army of the Republic to combat the Separatist forces which had taken control of the planet. When contact with the 182nd was lost, the 501st Legion of elite clone troopers was deployed to investigate their disappearance.

After the 501st secured the area, the 327th Star Corps under the command of Jedi Master Aayla Secura and Marshal Commander Bly arrived and began a manhunt for Presidente of the Commerce Guild, Shu Mai, who was believed to be holding Jedi Knight Barriss Offee prisoner. Following her rescue, the battle quickly shifted to an attempt to stop the spread of deadly toxins from contaminating Felucia's water supply. In the midst of the battle, the Order 66 protocol issued by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine was received, and the Jedi were shot dead by their own men.
