Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

A battle was fought during the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems on Malsuum. During the battle, a Twi'lek Jedi led a clone trooper charge but was killed by an explosion. CT-5539 picked up her body and rallied Red and Blue Teams against B2 super battle droids and droidekas. Later CT-5539 was aboard a Low Altitude Assault Transport/infantry with a Zabrak General. CT-5539 was hit by a laser bolt and fell from the transport. He survived and remained on the planet for more than two years until he left to find the great warrior Darth Vader.
