Mission to Skako Minor (Clone Wars)

The Mission to Skako Minor was an unsanctioned operation led by Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker to the planet Skako Minor, which was neutral during the Clone Wars, to rescue ARC trooper CT-1409 "Echo" from the Techno Union in the city of Purkoll.

Echo had been believed killed during the Battle of Lola Sayu, but unusually severe Galactic Republic losses during the campaign for control of the planet Anaxes led Clone Captain Rex of the 501st Legion to suspect that Echo was still alive and being used for intelligence by the Separatist military. An infiltration of the Separatists' Cyber Center on Anaxes involving the irregular clone commando unit Clone Force 99, the so-called "Bad Batch", led to the discovery of a signal from Skako Minor that sounded like a human voice and identified itself with Echo's number of CT-1409. Despite lacking official permission, Skywalker, Rex and the Bad Batch traveled to Skako Minor, found Echo, and were able to rescue him and return to Anaxes.
