Rescue mission to Vandos

The rescue mission to Vandos took place in 20 BBY during the Clone Wars. In an attempt to lure several Jedi into a trap on the planet Vandos, Confederate General Grievous kidnapped Anx Ambassador Quiyyen and confined him within a dug-out cave. After learning about the kidnapping, as well as a Confederate invasion fleet arriving in the Vandos system, the Jedi Council sent a rescue team led by Jedi Master T'chooka D'oon to Vandos.

During the mission, D'oon was accompanied by his Padawan, Flynn Kybo; Jedi Master Jmmaar; and a group of clone troopers. As they entered the cave, Kybo learned that they had fallen into a trap as they were confronted by Grievous and his super battle droid force. After Kybo rescued the ambassador, D'oon's team prepared to retreat to their landed gunship outside the cave. To give his team more time to board the transport, D'oon attempted to distract Grievous, though the cyborg general quickly slew the Jedi Master. The fallen Jedi Master's team, however, managed to escape Vandos with Quiyyen.
