Rescue on the Tranquility

The Confederacy of Independent Systems launched a mission during the Clone Wars to free Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray, whom the Galactic Republic had captured on Rodia. As Gunray was being transported back to Coruscant by Jedi Master Luminara Unduli, Padawan Ahsoka Tano, Clone Commander CC-1004 "Gree," and Senate Commando Captain Faro Argyus on the Venator-class Star Destroyer Tranquility, the ship was infiltrated by Asajj Ventress and eventually attacked by several vulture droids and boarding ships that deployed B2-series super battle droids. While Green Company was attacked by the droids, Ventress planted explosives and destroyed the reactor room. After defeating Unduli in a duel and escaping Tano, she escaped the ship with Gunray and Argyus, who betrayed the Republic and incapacitated Gree to free Gunray. However, Argyus was executed by Ventress as the three escaped in a stolen Consular-class cruiser.
