Battle of the Phu system

Canon Legends version → Linked from 5 articles

The Battle of the Phu system took place in 22 BBY within the Phu system during the Clone Wars. Prior to the battle, several Galactic Republic fleets had been destroyed in a series of attacks by the Confederacy of Independent Systems and its new mystery weapon, the Subjugator-class heavy cruiser Malevolence, commanded by General Grievous. To locate the warship, Jedi General Plo Koon dispatched a task force of three Venator-class Star Destroyers led by Jedi Master Ares Nune. However, while moving through the Phu system, Nune and the task force were intercepted and destroyed by the Malevolence.

Sometime later, the Malevolence was tracked to the Abregado system by General Koon's own fleet in order to destroy the warship before it could strike once more. While Koon's fleet was destroyed by the Malevolence, Koon was able to escape the destruction and report his findings to the Republic.
