Siege of Saleucami

"Saleucami has fallen, and Master Vos has moved his troops to Boz Pity."

- Obi-Wan Kenobi

A battle on Saleucami was one of the final battles of the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

The battle
During the Outer Rim Sieges of the Clone Wars, fighting broke out between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems at the planet Saleucami, which had seen prior fighting in the war. Eventually, Jedi General Quinlan Vos and his troops were able to defeat the Separatist forces.

Aftermath
Once Saleucami had fallen, Vos moved his forces to the planet Boz Pity, leaving Allie and the 91st to mop up the remains of the droid army. However, while patrolling the world's swamplands on speeder bikes with General Stass Allie, Clone Commander Neyo received Order 66 from Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine. This caused his genetically implanted bio-chip to activate, forcing his wingman and him to open fire on General Allie, killing her.

Behind the scenes
The battle of Saleucami first appeared within canon in Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith. Within the Star Wars Legends continuity, the events surrounding the battle were expanded upon in Star Wars: Republic: Siege of Saleucami, the eighteenth story arc of Dark Horse Comics' Star Wars: Republic series. However, the events depicted within the comics cannot be considered canon.
