Evacuation of Rhen Var

First Battle Of Rhen Var
The 1st Battle of Rhen Var was a crushing defeat for the Republic, despite the planet was unimportant for Republic forces. It was only later that the Jedi Council realised that capturing Rhen Var was the first step in the Deak Reaper project. The fact that the Republic forces on Rhen Var (which were too small to combat the Invasion) was allowed to escape the planet with minimal casualties was due to the organisated teamwork of Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. Before the battle, the two Jedi detected an invasion force and rushed to Rhen Var to evacuate forces.

However the final outpost was preparing for evacuation, the Confedacy attacked leaving Anakin to single handedly prevent the outpost from being destroyed. As the evacution completed, the Confederacy began to destroy the Outpost.
