Battle of Ringo Vinda

Canon Legends version → Linked from 51 articles

The Battle of Ringo Vinda, also known as the Ringo Vinda campaign or the Battle for Ringo Vinda, was fought at Ringo Vinda during the Clone Wars. Separatist Admiral Trench captured the planet's orbital graving docks, prompting a Republic effort to retake the world.

Republic forces, including the 501st Legion and at least one other unit, advanced on Trench's command center, but they lost their momentum when clone trooper Tup abruptly executed Jedi General Tiplar due to a malfunction in his behavioral modification biochip causing him to carry out Order 66 prematurely. The incident led Separatist forces to kidnap Tup on the orders of the Sith Lord and Separatist Head of State Count Dooku, but Jedi General Anakin Skywalker, Clone Captain Rex and ARC trooper Fives were able to rescue him before the Separatists could take him out of the system. The Republic subsequently sent Tup to Kamino for examination, while their forces continued to blockade the Separatists above the planet.
