The Battle of Nadiem was one of the Jedi Order's battles against General Grievous. It took place five months after the Battle of Geonosis.
[edit] The battle
A droid army, commanded by General Grievous was marching through Threadneedle Canyon to a city being evacuated by Luminara Unduli and Barriss Offee. A strike team led by Barriss attempted to set off explosives to block the droid army's path, but then she decided to play dead as the droid army walked past and attack them from the rear. Then they set off explosives, tumbling the canyon walls on top of the droids. An orbital blockade under Saesee Tiin prevented additional CIS reinforcements and air forces from reaching the planet.
Grievous' remaining forces were eventually defeated, and he fled the system in his starfighter, severely wounding B'dard Tone and killing his Padawan before escaping into hyperspace.
It was during the Battle of Nadiem that Crys Taanzer's husband was killed and her son, Kennan, was taken into the Jedi Order.
