Skirmish aboard the Tribunal

Near the end of the Clone Wars, a skirmish broke out onboard the Venator-class Star Destroyer Tribunal when clone troopers of the 501st Legion's 332nd Division and the Coruscant Guard received Order 66 from Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine, which compelled them to turn against former Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano, who had been in unofficial command of the unit during the recent Siege of Mandalore.

Clone Commander Rex managed to resist Order 66 long enough to tell Tano to "find" the deceased ARC trooper Fives. After Tano released the rogue Sith Lord Maul as a distraction, she looked into Fives with the help of astromech droids and was able to learn about Fives' discovery of the inhibitor chips that forced the clones to obey the order. Armed with this information, Tano was able to capture Rex and remove his chip.

Subsequently, Tano and Rex fought their way through the ship while Maul destroyed the Star Destroyer's hyperdrive, severely damaging the Tribunal and causing it to drop out of hyperspace onto a collision course with a moon. Tano and Rex attempted to steal a Nu-class attack/transport shuttle but found that the clone troopers, led by Jesse, had been waiting for them in the hangar. Maul subsequently stole the shuttle and escaped in it, with Tano being forced to let him go in order to save Rex's life. After the droids' destruction, Tano and Rex escaped in a two-seat Y-wing starfighter as the starship began to break apart. The Tribunal subsequent crash into the moon killed everyone still aboard. Before departing, Tano and Rex buried every single clone they could find, including Jesse, and Tano abandoned her lightsabers at the burial site.

Some time afterwards, Imperial forces discovered the crash site, and Darth Vader, Tano's former master prior to his fall to the dark side, found her lightsaber.
