Raid on Ziro the Hutt's Coruscant club

The raid on Ziro the Hutt's Coruscant club, also known as the raid on Ziro the Hutt's nightclub, took place on the galactic capital of Coruscant during the Clone Wars. After traveling to Ziro Desilijic Tiure's nightclub, which doubled as his palace, Senator Padmé Amidala overheard Ziro conspiring with Count Dooku, leader of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. She was captured and taken to the palace dungeon where she was able to contact her protocol droid, C-3PO, and inform him that she was being detained. The droid contacted the Coruscant Guard, who dispatched a team, led by Clone Commander Fox, to storm the palace with the primary objective of rescuing the senator.

The raid saw the successful rescue of Amidala and the capture of Ziro. Through the use of Ziro's comm equipment, contact was also reestablished with Jabba the Hutt, who had been ignoring communications from the Republic during this time due to his mistaken belief that the Republic intended to wipe out his entire clan. This allowed Amidala to prove that the Republic was not plotting against Jabba by exposing Ziro's hand in the true plot against him, masterminded by Dooku. Assured of the Republic's innocence, Jabba agreed to a treaty between the Republic and his clan and allowed Republic forces safe passage through Hutt Space, giving them access to the Outer Rim Territories, which had been cut off by the Separatists.
