Battle of Patitite Pattuna/Legends

"Avoid that the other way!"

- C-3PO, to R2-D2

A battle broke out near the planet Patitite Pattuna around 21 BBY during the Clone Wars. Jedi Master Adi Gallia, who had been returning with her flagship to Galactic Republic space, came under attack by a Confederate Navy fleet led by General Grievous.

Prelude
"You know these droids, Commander Wolffe?''" "''Yes, sir. We transported them to Master Gallia's ship after we left the planet Aleen."

- Plo Koon and Wolffe, on R2-D2 and C-3PO

After departing the planet Aleen, Commander Wolffe dropped off C-3PO and R2-D2 on Adi Gallia's flagship. However, en route to Coruscant, a trio of Separatist battleships, commander by General Grievous attacked the Republic cruiser.

The battle
"They've hit the main reactor! Prepare to evacuate."

- Adi Gallia, to a clone naval officer aboard her crippled flagship

As the ships battled, the Republic ship got hit and its main reactor was damaged, forcing the crew to evacuate. However, Grievous and a squad of battle droids boarded the ship and enagaged Master Gallia's forces. The General himself took on the Jedi Master. Gallia, however was unable to best the Supreme Commander of the Droid Armies and was quickly subdued while most of her crew had evacuated. Gallia was then taken prisoner aboard Grievous' ship.

Aftermath
"Thanks for the rescue, Master Plo!"

- Adi Gallia, after being rescued by Plo Koon and the 104th Battalion

However, Gallia would not remain captive for long. A fleet commanded by Jedi Master Plo Koon would soon rescue her although Grievous would evade capture and flee.

The battle and the rescue mission that follows made their first appearances in the sixth episode Nomad Droids of Season Four of the Clone Wars series.
