Battle of Sarrish/Legends

"This isn't an easy mission, Cody, but if we stick to the plan we'll come through this."

- Obi-Wan Kenobi

The Battle of Sarrish took place during the Outer Rim Sieges of the Clone Wars, fought between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems on the planet Sarrish.

The battle
The Confederacy of Independent Systems set together a heavy defense of turbolasers and OG-9 homing spider droids, making it nearly impossible for the Galactic Republic to commence a ground assault. High Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi and Marshal Commander Commander Cody led teams of ARC-170 starfighters and LAAT/i gunships to the surface of Sarrish.

During the battle, squadrons of Vulture droids ambushed the LAAT squadrons, taking down Cody's gunship. After crashing into enemy lines, Cody and his surviving clone troopers made their way through the front lines and scaled a mountain which housed a heavy turbolaser. The team destroyed the battle droids defending the turbolaser, where Cody captured the cannon and used it to shatter the enemy lines.

Some time during the battle, Captain CC-5576-39, an elite clone commando, went missing in action.

Aftermath
The Republic captured Sarrish, with the Separatist Droid Army suffering a defeat with heavy losses. Although it was a Republic victory, the battle proved so costly that it was considered one of the Republic's "most devastating losses" by the time Captain Gregor was located again.
