Battle of Boz Pity (Clone Wars)

"We have some of the greatest minds in the Jedi Order at our disposal."

- Mace Windu

The Battle of Boz Pity was a major battle in the final year of the Clone Wars. Major Separatist activity on Boz Pity was discovered by Obi-Wan Kenobi during his search for Asajj Ventress. The Jedi Order supported a mission to investigate, which led to a full scale battle with some of the greatest heroes from both sides of the war.

Running the blockade
The Separatists had blockaded the graveyard planet Boz Pity with over one hundred warships. The Jedi plan was for the Star Destroyer Intervention to come out of hyperspace between the blockade and the planet. Anakin Skywalker, perhaps the most gifted pilot in the Order, attempted to accomplish this, but brought the ship out of hyperspace too close to the planet's gravitational pull. The Intervention crashed on the surface of Boz Pity after launching all fighters and escape pods, damaged beyond repair.

In the space battle above, Commander Denn Wessex commanded the Venator-class Star Destroyer Redoubt.

The battle
The forces of the Republic engaged with the CIS on the planet's surface, led by the Jedi Generals, were quick to engage the Confederacy's droid forces, primarily targeting the CIS medical facility. Masters Adi Gallia and Soon Bayts attempted to secure the entrance, quickly disposing of the cordon of droid guards with the first wave of troops. Soon after, General Grievous appeared from behind Gallia, who then kicked her away and crushed Bayts' head with his hand, then proceeding to massacre their clone forces.

Meanwhile, Obi-Wan Kenobi infiltrated the CIS medical center. He discovered Asajj Ventress in a bacta tank and Count Dooku observing her. After a short conversation with Dooku, Asajj destroyed her bacta tank and engaged Obi-Wan.

Back on the battlefield Adi Gallia, Alpha, and the remainder of Squad Seven continued to repel the massive waves of droid forces. Grievous soon re-appeared in the heat of the battle, quickly taking care of several clones before proceeding to impale Alpha, while Adi disposed of a pair of the General's Magnaguards. In retaliation to the General's savage assault, Gallia attacked, only to find her blade locked with Grievous', and was then grabbed in the shoulder and neck as Grievous dislodged his second pair of arms, stabbing her as well in the maneuver. Mace Windu then proceeded to drop a STAP on the General, disabling him for the remainder of the battle.

Across the landscape, Kit Fisto and Anakin attempted to aid Alpha, before Obi-Wan was sent crashing through the wall of the Separatist base by Ventress. Their battle brought them back onto the battlefield, where Anakin joined in. Obi-Wan sabotaged Anakin's attempts to kill Asajj, though, believing she could still be redeemed.

Dooku also left the medical center, but was soon after attacked by Mace Windu. Dooku was outmaneuvered by Mace after a short lightsaber duel, however, and forced to have his MagnaGuards grapple the Jedi, disarming him and dragging him into a pit while Dooku headed for the evacuation point, taking Grievous's mangled body along with him.

Meanwhile, Asajj disengaged from Obi-Wan and Anakin, and headed for the CIS shuttles away from the main battle. However, Dooku, not wishing her to delay his escape, ordered her shot, and left her behind as a distraction. Asajj attempted to kill Obi-Wan with a jagged steel fragment, but was thwarted by Anakin as the two Jedi approached her. She then expressed some measure of repentance, saying that perhaps Obi-Wan had been correct about her all along and appeared to die. Obi-Wan had her body transported to Coruscant. The blockade apparently retreated or was dispersed.

Aftermath
Asajj Ventress had used Sith meditation to feign her death. She woke up in the medical transport and ordered the pilots to take her away from the Jedi, the war, and Count Dooku.

Commander Wessex's actions during the Battle of Boz Pity made him a hero and convinced Palpatine to make him a Moff shortly afterwards.

Following the battle, Boz Pity was made into a staging area for Grand Army units under Jedi General Quinlan Vos fighting in the Outer Rim Sieges.
