The Battle of Skor II was a military engagement during the Clone Wars and took place in 21 BBY. Skor II, the Squib homeworld, was seized by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, who planned to use it as a launch point. The Galactic Republic dispatched Mace Windu to re-capture the world. Commander Cody also served on the mission.
The battle was a resounding Republic victory. Afterward, the Squibs erected a bronzium statue of Mace Windu and King Ebareebaveebeedee, the Squib leader. The king said that Mace was a "Big Time Hero of beyond-Squib Eliteness" and that "His Mace Windship will forever haunt Squibbish poems and jingles, and future fuzzlings will hear of the valiant Knight with his koovy purplish blade."
The Squib Macemillian-winduarté may have been named for the Squib hero. He often went by the nickname "Mace Windu", most likely in honor of the Jedi Master.

[edit] Behind the scenes
The West End Games sourcebook Galaxy Guide 7: Mos Eisley (1993) introduces a Squib character named Mace Windu. The character's full name is given as Macemillian-winduarté in Spare Parts, a short story by Pablo Hidalgo in Star Wars Adventure Journal 11 (November 1996). Of course, the name Mace Windu was later given to the Jedi character in The Phantom Menace. While there was no official retcon for Macemillian-winduarté, the HoloNet article detailing the Battle of Skor II provides an easy connection: Macemillian-winduarté was named for the Jedi or took the nickname Mace Windu in honor of his planet's hero.
