The Battle of Foerost took place in 20.1 BBY, the second year of the Clone Wars. Since the war's outset, the Galactic Republic had blockaded the Techno Union's Foerost Shipyards, hoping to prevent them from supplying starships to the Confederacy of Independent Systems. That changed when the beleaguered Techno Union engineers completed work on a new warship: the Bulwark Mark I. Commanded by Admiral Dua Ningo, an entire armada of Bulwark-class battleships, designated as the Bulwark Fleet, breached Republic Captain Jan Dodonna's blockade of Foerost. The Bulwark Fleet's ensuing campaign against the Core Worlds forced the Republic to press into service a fleet of its own prototype cruiser, the Victory I-class Star Destroyer, to hunt down Ningo's Bulwarks.
