Siege at Onderon

The siege at Onderon was a late battle of the Clone Wars fought between the Confederacy of Independent Systems and Galactic Republic as part of the Outer Rim Sieges campaign. The battle was waged in 19 BBY for the Inner Rim planet Onderon, which had previously been occupied by the Confederacy until its liberation during the Onderonian Civil War in 20 BBY by the Republic-supported Onderon rebels.

As part of the sieges, the Confederacy attacked Onderon and besieged the planet, returning Onderon to a state of conflict. The battle saw the Onderon rebels—whose ranks included Saw Gerrera, a rebel leader from the still-recent Civil War—once more fight for the Republic. Unfortunately for the rebels, the Republic's transformation into the Galactic Empire at the end of the Clone Wars created a new era of conflict on Onderon.
