Battle of unidentified planet (Tholme and Ventress)

"Ventress was a fair apprentice. However, as she became more powerful, her lust for bloodshed could not be sated. She grew ever more violent and unpredictable. She slaughtered Master Tholme, against my orders. We had the battle won, there was no reason to justify the death of an old friend."

- Count Dooku, to Quinlan Vos

A battle took place on a planet early in the Clone Wars. A major campaign, it saw Jedi Master Tholme lead hundreds of clone troopers against a detachment of Separatist battle droids under the command of Count Dooku's apprentice, Asajj Ventress. As the tide of the battle turned in the Confederacy's favor, Ventress engaged Tholme in a lightsaber duel and struck him down; according to Dooku, as part of a later attempt to turn Tholme's former Padawan Quinlan Vos against Ventress, her murder of Tholme had violated Dooku's orders.
