- "I met your father once when I was just a boy, Luke. He was a great pilot. You'll do all right out there. If you've got half your father's skill, you'll do a damn sight better than all right."
- ―Garven Dreis to Luke Skywalker right before the Battle of Yavin
The Battle of Virujansi occurred when the Republic launched a siege against the Separatist-held planet of Virujansi.
The battle[]
The Separatists were using the planet as a staging-grounds for a significant number of battle droids. Obi-Wan Kenobi led the ground force, while Anakin Skywalker led the aerial units, which included the Rarefied Air Cavalry, a military unit which Garven "Dave" Dreis served in. The result was a significant Republic victory. The natives called Skywalker the "Hero With No Fear."
