The battleEdit

The Gibbon, one of Republic Admiral Kreuge's ships, was put into his task force to participate in a live-fire exercise to test the new Tector-class design.^[2] During the battle, this ship unwittingly spread a Separatist computer virus that it had been infected with at Handooine to other ships in the task force. When they came within a certain distance of the Separatist fleet, their shields lowered, which turned the tide of the battle from a potential Republic victory into a complete Separatist rout.^[1]

AftermathEdit

Following the battle, it was speculated that if Admiral Kreuge had not commanded his forces to turn when they did and instead ordered the right wing of his forces to sweep further, the events of the Clone Wars would have been considerably different.^[2] Admiral Kreuge made up for his defeat at Salvara by taking Kerkoidia soon after the Battle of Christophsis.^[1]
