Battle of Bal'demnic

The Battle of Bal'demnic was originally meant to be a mining operation carried out by the Commerce Guild. When Commerce Guild scouts discovered traces of cortosis in the cliffs of Bal'demnic, lightsaber resistant ore, the Confederacy demanded an excavation to take place, or be destroyed. The operation was allowed to be started, but several Kon'me citizens rebelled and attacked the droid army using turbolasers smuggled onworld by war profiteers.

When Mace Windu intercepted a CIS transmission containing a message about the cortosis, Halagad Ventor and Sha Koon led a battalion of clone troopers on the planet. Things were in chaos as they landed on the planet; the natives were engraged when the clone army landed and opened fire on all off-worlders. The Confederacy and Republic retreated. The Republic later set up a planetary defense blockade to prevent any more Confederacy activity.
