Mission to Ansion

"He has just returned from a border dispute on Ansion."

- Mace Windu, speaking about Obi-Wan Kenobi

The Mission to Ansion occurred in 22 BBY.

Prelude
When the Separatist Crisis was growing they tried to add planets to their cause, Ansion was a target. That's because Ansion was a very important piece of a complicated puzzle that joined other planets of greater importance, so making Ansion leave the Galactic Republic would cause a chain reaction.

The plan was headed by Shu Mai the president of the Commerce Guild and the Ansionian Senator Mousul, the Hutt Soergg was the contact on the planet. They tried to use the border dispute that existed for years between the Unity Council and the tribal nomads Alwari to convince them to leave the Galactic Republic and obtain their benefits.

The mission
Two teams of Jedi were sent by the Jedi Order to convince Ansion to stay with the Republic. The Master Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Padawan Anakin Skywalker and the Master Jedi Luminara Unduli and her Padawan Barriss Offee were sent on this mission. But they had problems since the very first day, the Hutt Soergg instructed his majordomo Ogomoor, an Ansionian male, to do anything possible to stop the mission of the Jedi.

Aftermath
Ansion remained with the Galactic Republic. Also, the Seperatists plan of issuing demands to the Republic was delayed (they had planned to issue demands to the Republic the moment Ansion declared secession), though Count Dooku decided Ansion was only a minor setback.
