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

A battle broke out near the planet Patitite Pattuna in 20 BBY during the Clone Wars, when Jedi General Adi Gallia's flagship came under attack by a Confederate Navy fleet led by General Grievous. Gallia and her clone troopers of the 91st Mobile Reconnaissance Corps, who had been bound for Galactic Republic space, were caught by surprise by the Separatists, and the main reactor of their Star Destroyer was quickly disabled.

Grievous then took a boarding party of battle droids aboard the Republic warship to capture Gallia. While nonessential personnel evacuated from her cruiser via LAAT/i gunships amidst ongoing starfighter dogfights, Gallia engaged Grievous in lightsaber combat, but she was overwhelmed and taken prisoner. Her Star Destroyer, meanwhile, fell to turbolaser fire from the enemy fleet. The Republic droids C-3PO and R2-D2, who had been aboard Gallia's flagship, managed to escape to Patitite Pattuna aboard a BTL-B Y-wing starfighter. Jedi Master Plo Koon later launched a rescue mission to free Gallia from custody aboard Grievous's flagship.
