Battle over Kashyyyk

Kashyyyk was considered a major navigation hub for the southwest quadrant of the galaxy, as such it was strategically important system which had long been a target for the Separatist military. Confederacy leaders requested the Wookiees join their rebellion, but the Kashyyyk royal families proved indecisive. General Grievous, having become impatient regarding their decision to join the Confederacy, decided to send battle droids to "persuade" them.

A massive blockade of Trade Federation cruisers surrounded the planet in hopes of stopping any Republic forces from touching down on the planet. So, the pilots of the 501st Legion were dispatched to cut a path through the fleet. Destroying the Munificent-class star frigate defenses, the fleet focused all firepower on the nearest Providence-class carrier-destroyer. Using a high-altitude LAAT gunship, a squad of Clonetroopers formed a boarding party and sabotaged the inside of the ship, destroying the command bridge life-support and engines. They came across a battle-plan holocron, which contained the Separatist's strategies for the upcoming ground battle, and delivered it safely back to their Venator-class Star Destroyer. With a path cut through the blockade, Yoda and the 41st Elite Corps landed on the planet.
