How could Commander Deviss be fighting on Eriadu when he was on Felucia? Why would only a company be fighting off a Sep attack. And why would these forces come from Felucia when republic forces on that planet were in constant need of reinforcements? I dont think there was any battle on Eriadu. Tsui Choi was in transit, and Bultar Swan was in a medcenter, so who was leading these troops. Also, Swan escaped before the troops got to where she was, she was warned by healers, not fired upon by clone troops. Also, they were hunting down Choi not Swan. It seems to me that after Order 66, both Jedi ended up on Eriadu, and there was no battle there, just the local clones hunting down a jedi. OOM-30 09:17, 8 Jan 2006 (UTC)

I couldn't agree more. I doubt there ever was a Battle of Eriadu. Deviss was simply in the area and assigned to look for fugitive Jedi. However, it should be noted that the entirety of Cmdr. Bly's 327th Star Corps was not on Felucia. Only a couple of legions. It's entirely possibly that Deviss was not on Felucia when Order 66 came down. --AdmThrawn 09:48, 8 Jan 2006 (UTC)
- Definatley. This page is just complete conjecture, and should be deleted. Tam 09:54, 8 Jan 2006 (UTC)
  - Here, here! --AdmThrawn 10:06, 8 Jan 2006 (UTC)
  - I agree too. OOM-30 12:18, 8 Jan 2006 (UTC)
    - Don't delete it, rewrite it.--Bly1993 14:10, 8 Jan 2006 (UTC)
      - There's nothing to rewrite it to, tho. Tam 20:46, 8 Jan 2006 (UTC)
        We've got no source for it anyway. So until we get definitive proof there was a battle here, this needs to go - Kwenn 20:49, 8 Jan 2006 (UTC)
        Well, I rewrote the page to make it as a mission during the Jedi Purge. (and that's official.)Bly1993
        Okay, but I removed all reference to Deviss and K Company. Until it's confirmed that it was Deviss and his men on Eriadu, we must assume that it is not. And i'm not sure that this should be listed as a "battle"...what's the precident for little skirmishes like this? Tam 15:45, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
        An event or conflict? We've had skirmishes elsewhere, like when Jabba was killed at Carkoon or when the Tantive IV was boarded. VT-16 01:12, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
        Seems like Deviss was on Orto at the time of Order 66 1 - Kwenn 11:42, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Wait a minute; I was reading Purge and Swan said: I was at a MedStation when the order came down. Thats proof of a Clone Wars battle there. Lt. 1993 19:40, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
- Having a medstation doesn't prove it's a battle, just that there's a medstation on the planet. VT-16 10:50, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Battle?[]

How is this justified as being a battle? Kuralyov 19:04, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Depends how you define the word "battle." The Cambridge University Press Dictionary defines battle as "a fight between two armies." If we consider the Jedi duo an "army," then it could be possible to call this "fight" a "battle." Question: What makes us consider two Jedi an army? - TopAce 19:15, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
- There's absolutely nothing about this that can be considered a "battle". Call it a skirmish or something. VT-16 22:31, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
Calling this the "Battle of Eriadu" is like calling what Yoda and Obi-wan did in ROTS the "Third Battle of Coruscant." Kuralyov 22:34, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
