Battle of Dorin

The Battle of Dorin took place around 22 BBY during the Clone Wars when General Grievous of the Confederacy of Independent Systems invaded the Kel Dor homeworld of Dorin in retribution for the planet's loyalty to the Galactic Republic. The battle also served as a diversion for Republic forces that would otherwise be participating in the assault on the Confederacy's new droid foundries on Geonosis. After Grievous's initial attack on the Kel Dor population, he recieved word that the Republic had dispatched a fleet to reinforce Dorin's defenders, under the command of Jedi General Anakin Skywalker.
