The Battle of Skor II took place in 22 BBY, within seven weeks of the start of the Clone Wars.

PreludeEdit

The Confederacy of Independent Systems occupied Skor II's Metrobig Interplanetary Blastport, intending to use the planet—the [[homeworld of the Squibs—as a base to place proximity mines throughout the outer Rimma Trade Route. In response, the Galactic Republic dispatched a contingent of clone troopers under the command of High Jedi General Mace Windu^[1] and Marshal Commander CC-2224 to retake the world.^[2]

The battleEdit

Windu and CC-2224 led their clone troopers in recapturing Skor II from the occupational force of battle droids from the Separatist Droid Army, resulting in the liberation of Metrobig City.^[1]

AftermathEdit

While Windu left Skor II, a clone trooper peacekeeping force was left on-world to monitor Separatist activity. King Ebareebaveebeedee of the Squibs dedicated a bronzium statue of Windu, whom he proclaimed as a "Big Time Hero of Beyond-Squib Eliteness," in Metrobig City.^[1]

Behind the scenesEdit

Although Republic HoloNet News Core Edition 14:9:01 implied that the Battle of Skor II occurred in 21 BBY,^[1] The Official Starships & Vehicles Collection 32—which also incorporated Commander CC-2224's involvement in the battle, originally implied in the novel Labyrinth of Evil^[3]—placed it prior to the Battle of Christophsis,^[2] which The Essential Reader's Companion established as taking place within seven weeks of the start of the war.^[4]
