Battle of Thustra

"We hadn't been on Thustra ten standard hours before the natives, the Sephi, attacked our outpost. Our orders were specific. Establish a 'beachhead,' make a strong show of force, but avoid engaging the Sephi at all costs. No one told them that."

- Pix

The Battle of Thustra was a battle of the Clone Wars.

Ten hours after Galactic Republic forces landed on Thustra, the native Sephi attacked them. The Republic army had been told to avoid engaging the Sephi, but they attacked first. Master Tyffix and Master Tyr were killed when the Sephi blew up the command center. Jedi Padawans Cal and Pix called Coruscant for reinforcements, and were surprised when Yoda arrived. Yoda and Cal went to negotiate with King Alaric, but Yoda was forced to kill him, and Cal was killed in the process.

It was a victory for the Republic but the Thustra sector made secession.
