Campaign in the Outer Rim

The Conquest of the Outer Rim was a major Separatist campaign launched by General Grievous, the Supreme commander of the Separatist Droid Army. Grievous moved his army and fleet against Republic forces in the Outer Rim Territories, and pushed through the Outer Rim and won numerous battles. To help locate and destroy Republic fleets in the Outer Rim Grievous used a listening post named Skytop Station.

Grievous's victories quickly conquered new territory for the Separatists and caused the Republic's foothold in the Outer Rim to slip. Anakin Skywalker and his battle group of fought against Grievous's forces in many of the battles, but failed to stop his advance. After the destruction of the Falleen battle group and the Separatist victory on Falleen, Grievous moved his forces to take the strategic world of Bothawui. It was here that the Republic finally stopped Grievous's advance.
