Skirmish on Naboo/Legends

"I will attack the Naboo!"

- General Grievous

A skirmish took place on the planet Naboo during the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

Prelude
During the Clone Wars, Count Dooku set up a hidden base on the planet Naboo, which had been invaded by the Trade Federation cartel over a decade prior. Around 21 BBY, the second year of the war, Dooku conspired with General Grievous to launch another invasion of the planet, a plot that would involve turning the Gungans and the Gungan Grand Army against the Naboo people. When Boss Lyonie, the leader of the Gungan community Otoh Gunga, began to behave strangely, Representative Jar Jar Binks invited his allies, Senator Padmé Amidala and Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, to help in the investigation into Lyonie's actions. However, Lyonie's exploits caused the Gungan Grand Army to become allied with Grievous and the Separatist Droid Army.

The skirmish
"Why bring the war to Naboo?''" "How quickly you forget! After all, the war started here years ago." "You were a part of that first battle?" "''The Sith control everything&mdash;you just don't know it!"

- Anakin Skywalker and Count Dooku

Grievous invaded Naboo, landing aboard a C-9979 landing craft and fighting soldiers from the Gungan Grand Army. Skywalker, meanwhile, found Dooku's lair and engaged in a lightsaber duel with the powerful Sith Lord.
