"Sarrish? Sarrish. Wait. What was the Battle of Sarrish?"
"It was one of the Republic's most devastating losses."
"Sarrish. Yes. Yes, I remember now. So many soldiers were dying."
―Gregor and Meebur Gascon[2]

The Battle of Sarrish,[2] also known as the invasion of Sarrish,[3] was a grueling battle that took place on[5] the planet[7] Sarrish in the Outer Rim Territories during the second year of the Clone Wars.[3] It was one of the Galactic Republic's most devastating defeats, with many[2] clone troopers[6] perishing in the battle[2] as it turned into a rout.[8]

Clone Captain Gregor led Foxtrot Group into the battle before leading the retreat. Gregor managed to bring the surviving Republic forces back into space, but his own transport was shot down. The only survivor on the transport, Gregor was able to reach[8] the remote world of Abafar, where he crash-landed. He was reported missing, but a Republic team discovered him.[2]
