The title of this article is conjectural.

Although this article is based on official information from the Star Wars Legends continuity, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.

This article is about the Clone Wars' battle. You may be looking for other Battles of Acherin.

"It was where one of the last sieges of the Clone Wars took place."
Obi-Wan Kenobi[1]

The Battle of Acherin was a conflict in the final days of the Clone Wars.

Background[]

Fearing the Galactic Republic's rule was becoming more and more absolute, the planet Acherin joined the Separatist cause early on.

The battle[]

The battle raged until the very end of the war, when the Acherin Separatist commanders began ceasefire-negotiations with the Jedi General Garen Muln.

Progress was going well, until Supreme Chancellor Palpatine issued Order 66, marking Muln as a traitor to the Republic. When the clone troopers came for him, commanders Raina Quill and Toma helped Garen Muln flee Acherin in secret.

Aftermath[]

"We wanted the right to secede from the Republic, not to turn the galaxy into a place of absolute power. Now we've got an Emperor breathing down our necks. Anyway, we were negotiating a truce with the Republic army when the Clone Wars ended. After we got a look at the Empire, we decided to call off the truce and keep fighting instead."
Raina Quill[1]

Realizing the threat of the new Galactic Empire, the people of Acherin began a resistance movement, and would fight in yet another battle, that lasted almost a year.
