Battle of Gall (Clone Wars)

"So, would you say we saved the moon, master? I just might, Snips."

- Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano

A battle was fought in around 22 BBY on the moon of Gall during the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The Separatists invaded the moon in C-9979 landing crafts protected by an experimental Geonosian shield technology, which prevented the Confederate vessels from taking any damage from Gall defenders' blaster fire. However, Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan Ahsoka Tano, who were on the moon at the time of the attack, managed to infiltrate the lead landing craft and destroyed it with explosive charges from within, leaving the planetary defenses to destroy the rest of the invasion force.

The battle
Circa 22 BBY during the Clone Wars, the Confederacy of Independent Systems attacked the gas giant Zhar's moon of Gall with a force of Vulture droid starfighters, 2 C-9979 landing crafts and a lead landing craft, which was equipped with an experimental deflector shield of Geonosian origin; the shield extended itself onto the entire Confederate force.
