Battle of the Ryndellia system

"So much for the Jedi escort!"

- General Grievous

A battle took place in the Ryndellia system at the start of the Clone Wars. A Galactic Republic medical convoy consisting of several medical frigates and a Venator-class Star Destroyer escort, commanded by clone troopers and Jedi, was passing through the system when it was ambushed by the Separatist Subjugator-class heavy cruiser Malevolence, under the command of General Grievous. The Confederate warship destroyed the convoy and headed to attack a Republic medical center.
