Tarkov and Jaccoba find the Separatist army near Kahiyuk.
In 19 BBY, the last year of the Clone Wars between the Republic and Separatists, the Wookiee father-and-son pair Tarkov and Jaccoba were hunting in the forest near Kahiyuk. During their hunt, the Wookiees accidentally stumbled across a Separatist invasionforce hiding within the forest. The pair immediately rushed to Kahiyuk—the closest city to their position—to warn the residents of the advancing Separatist army. The warning was soon spread to Warralokk, Grunnrurr, and Rowrakruk, but this did not stop the Separatists from conquering Kahiyuk and a number of other Wookiee cities before the natives could muster a defense.[1] The fall of these outposts caused the Wookiees to raise an army[4] and notify the Republic of the Separatist presence on Kashyyyk in an attempt to beat back the invaders.[1]
