The Battle of Quell took place during the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

The battleEdit

Three Venator-class Star Destroyers under the command of Jedi General Aayla Secura engaged with several Munificent-class star frigates, lead by T-series tactical droid TF-1726, at Quell. After some time of fighting, Secura's forces were taking heavy casualties, and thus requested assistance from Jedi General Anakin Skywalker in a nearby system. As Skywalker was racing to the aid of Secura, two of her Venator-class Star Destroyers were destroyed, and the Separatist commander deployed B2-RP battle droids to Secura's remaining ship to speed up its destruction.^[4]

Around that time, Skywalker emerged from hyperspace with the Resolute, and arrived at the battle, quickly deploying several LAAT/i gunships to board Secura's ship, with one gunship carrying Skywalker and his Jedi Padawan, Jedi Commander Ahsoka Tano, as well as Clone Captain CT-7567, and several other clone troopers, before their gunship was damaged, and crashed into a breach in the hull of Secura's ship. As Skywalker and his forces pushed forward to join with Secura and Clone Commander CC-5052, a Republic frigate was docking in the lower hangar bay to evacuate the survivors. Separatist warships continued to fire on Secura's ship, which ignited a large internal explosion as the survivors were evacuating onto the cruiser.^[4]

In order to save his comrades, Skywalker Force pushed them into the cruiser, and held back the explosion as much as he could before eventually being wounded. Skywalker was rescued, and the cruiser departed the doomed Republic vessel just as it was being destroyed. Due to Skywalker's wounded condition, Secura sought to dock with the Resolute, which was engaging Separatist forces. Admiral Wullf Yularen warned about docking in the middle of the battle, but reluctantly allowed Secura and the cruiser to dock. However, during the docking procedure, the cruiser was attacked by vulture droids, which accidentally activated the ship's hyperdrive, forcing the cruiser into evasive action to avoid a catastrophic collision with the Resolute as it jumped into hyperspace.^[4]

AftermathEdit

Yularen ordered for the last known trajectory of the cruiser, so that after the battle they may find them.^[4] The result of the battle wasn't shown, but it ended in a Separatist victory.
