Attack on Confederate people

"Your Republic forces have carried out a barbaric attack on our people! And among the deaths was the very sponsor of the peace accord, Senator Mina Bonteri. With her needless death, I must formally withdraw the proposal for peace offered by our Senate."

- Count Dooku

After the bombing of the Coruscant power generator and breakdown of peace talks, the Galactic Republic launched an attack on the Separatists, killing many&mdash;including prominent Separatist Senator Mina Bonteri&mdash;in the process. While Republic spies instead attributed Bonteri's death to Separatist agents, their leader Count Dooku withdrew Bonteri's peace proposal offered by the Separatist Senate.
