Capture of Eeth Koth

In 21 BBY, during the Clone Wars, Jedi Master Eeth Koth was captured by the Separatist Alliance General Grievous during a battle within the Outer Rim Territories Saleucami system. Assaulted by a Recusant-class light destroyer flagged by the Kaleesh cyborg, Koth's flagship, the Venator-class Star Destroyer Steadfast, was boarded by the general and his battle droid forces. Upon boarding, the B2-series super battle droids engaged Koth's clone trooper forces, while Grievous and a group of BX-series droid commandos and IG-100 MagnaGuards infiltrated the command bridge to attack the Jedi Master.

On the bridge, the Jedi Master's accompanying clone troopers were killed in the ensuing battle, as well as Grievous's commando droids. Soon thereafter, the Separatist general entered combat with the Jedi Master in a brief duel aboard the bridge. During the duel, Grievous managed to gain the upperhand with his MagnaGuards, which led to Koth's subsequent capture. Afterwards, the Jedi Master was displayed in the Kaleesh's message to the Jedi High Council in order to provoke the Jedi Order into launching an assault on Grievous's fleet over the planet Saleucami.
