During the Outer Rim Sieges of the Clone Wars, a battle broke out in space between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems[1] in 19 BBY.[2] The battle occurred following the outbreak of a massive offense across the Outer Rim Territories by the Kaleesh Separatist Supreme Commander, General Grievous, which led to the sieges.[1]
During the battle, a Separatist fleet of at least six Providence-class Dreadnoughts under Grievous's command engaged a Republic fleet of at least six Venator-class Star Destroyers. As Grievous watched from one of the Providence's bridge, which was crewed by several B1-series battle droids, Separatist droid tri-fighters and Clone Z-95 Headhunters engaged one another in dogfights around the capital ships, while at least two of the dreadnoughts sustained extensive damage to their hulls.[1]

The battle between a Republic and Separatist fleet appeared in the opening newsreel of "Old Friends Not Forgotten,"[1] the ninth episode of the seventh season of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series,[3] which aired on April 17, 2020.[4]
