Second skirmish in Cuipernam

In 22 BBY, during a Jedi Order diplomatic mission to the planet Ansion, a skirmish took place in Cuipernam, Ansion's capital city. The skirmish occurred shortly after Jedi Masters Luminara Unduli and Obi-Wan Kenobi, with their Padawans Barriss Offee and Anakin Skywalker, returned to Cuipernam to deliver word of their success in reaching a satisfying accord with the Borokii and the Januul, two feuding Alwari overclans. The Jedi and their companions, Kyakhta, Bulgan, and Tooqui, returned to the same inn where they had stayed before leaving Cuipernam in search of the Alwari. There they learned that a vote to determine whether Ansion remained within the Republic was to take place that same day.

Within three minutes of the Jedi and their companions setting out for the municipal building, where the Unity of Community (Ansion's government) was holding the vote, the inn exploded. While en route, the group was attacked by mercenaries sent by Soergg the Hutt, a bossban allied with Shu Mai of the Commerce Guild. These mercenaries drove the Jedi into a building, with snipers at the ready to eliminate them when they attempted to leave. However, the timely appearance of an honor guard from both the Borokii and Januul overclans saved the Jedi. The Alwari warriors eliminated the snipers and began picking off the remaining mercenaries.
