Engagement near Dorin
Canon Linked from 5 articles
An engagement near Dorin was fought during the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems in 21 BBY. The battle saw Republic and Separatist forces clash near the planet Dorin, with Republic starfighter squadrons led by Jedi General Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan, Jedi Commander Ahsoka Tano, engaging Separatist units commanded by the Kaleesh Separatist Supreme Commander, General Grievous. Grievous's attack was to distract Republic forces from traveling to the planet Geonosis, which the Republic had learned was the site of a new droid factory.
The Republic starfighter squadrons were able to rout Grievous's forces, which in turn led to the loss of at least 131 Separatist units. Following their successes at Dorin, Skywalker and his Padawan arrived at Geonosis in order to participate in the Republic's second invasion of the world.
