Battle of Drongar

The Battle of Drongar was fought during the Clone Wars. Drongar was not a strategic military point; instead, both the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems wished to control the planet's main export, bota. Both sides of the war fought for the planet, but used weapons like slug-throwers, swords, and staffs to make sure the plants weren't damaged. When the Separatists learned that the bota mutated too fast and became useless, the Confederacy descended upon the planet and drove the Republic forces off, then left it alone.

By eight months after the Battle of Geonosis, Republic forces were in need of reinforcements. The Acclamator-I class troop carrier VCD987 was dispatched with a fresh detachment of clone troopers and Jedi Knights Tsui Choi, Sian Jeisel and Kai Justiss. En route, the Republic cruiser was ambushed by Quarren Separatists loyal to Count Dooku. With its engines disabled, Dooku and Sora Bulq led the Quarren soldiers in a boarding action. After securing the Jedi, Bulq was ordered to slay the surviving clone troopers, cutting off reinforcements to Drongar.
