During the Clone Wars, the planet Cato Neimoidia was conquered by the Galactic Republic[3] at some point after it had fallen under the control of the Confederacy of Independent Systems.[1] The base-of-operations for the Trade Federation, the Cato Neimoidian government had previously tried to take a neutral stance in the war,[4] but the planet instead became a hotly contested battleground for both the Republic and CIS.[1] The Federation's importance to the war made the Republic seek control over the planet;[1] in addition to the assault on Cato Neimoidia, the Republic Military continued to make ground and air attack runs to keep control over the planet.[5] After the Republic's conquest, the Separatists sought to take Cato Neimoidia back[1] and did so through an invasion. In response, the Republic needed to launch another assault towards the end of the conflict.[6]

- ↑ Star Wars: Galactic Atlas places the Battle of Sundari and the Ahsoka Tano's departure from the Jedi Order to 19 BBY. As "Sabotage," which is the episode the Battle of Cato Neimoidia takes place within, takes place between the events of the episodes the other events are attached to according to
Star Wars: The Clone Wars Chronological Episode Order on StarWars.com (backup link), that event must take place in 19 BBY. As Star Wars: Build Your Own R2-D2 44 (Droid Directory: Tri-fighter) establishes Cato Neimoidia had already fallen to the Galactic Republic by that battle, the conquest must have occurred by 19 BBY.
