The Mission to Vandos was an effort by the Galactic Republic to rescue Ambassador Quiyyen from the clutches of the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

As the clone forces arrived at Vandos, they were ambushed by a large group of B2 super battle droids led by the nefarious General Grievous, and took very heavy casualties.

The Republic forces escaped with the Anx Ambassador in tow, but Flynn Kybo's Jedi Master T'chooka D'oon was killed by Grievous in the assault, along with Jmmaar.

[edit] The Battle

The mission was thought to be simple, the plan was to land ahead of the approaching Separatist invasion fleet and bring out Ambassador Guiyyen. The Jedi however, found a large force of battle droids awaiting them and realized that the ambassador was the bait for the trap. The trap was set by General Grievous who was relentless in his pursuit and killed countless troopers and Jedi. With only a small force left the Jedi's escape with Quiyyen was in jeopardy. With the survivors making their escape, Jedi Master T'chooka D'oon stepped into the breach, giving the survivors time to escape. He engaged Grievous in a lightsaber duel and Grievous made short work of him.
