Battle of Hypori/Legends

The Battle of Hypori is an event that took place in the Clone Wars micro-series. This was the first appearance of General Grievous.

The Republic suffered a terrible defeat at the hands of General Grievous, the new leader of the Separatist's droid armies. In Clone Wars, our first view of the battle is a distress call from Daakman Barrek. He tells of the new General and states that "[he] is hunting us." The seven survivors, all Jedi, cornered by armies of Super Battle Droids, battle Grievous before a rescue team of ARC troopers comes to their aid. Ultimately, only three Jedi present survived this battle: Ki-Adi-Mundi, Aayla Secura and Shaak Ti.
