Invasion of Scipio
Canon Legends version → Linked from 34 articles
The invasion of Scipio, otherwise known as the Battle of Scipio or the Banking Clan crisis, was a conflict that took place on the planet Scipio between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. Having helped uncover corruption in the InterGalactic Banking Clan, Rush Clovis was appointed as the new head of the bank, only to be coerced by Count Dooku into raising interest rates for the Republic, at which point Separatist forces occupied Scipio to cement their position. The Republic responded with its own invasion, allowing Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine to strengthen the Republic economically.
