- "Round up the citizens. All of them!"
"Roger roger." - ―Darts D'Nar orders an AAT Driver Battle Droid
The conquest of Kiros[4] was an invasion launched during the Clone Wars[6] in 20 BBY[3] by the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Marching into the pacifist Artisan colony of Togrutas on the planet Kiros, the Confederacy's B1-series battle droid rounded up all members of the population on the order of Zygerrian Darts D'Nar.[2] The Togrutas were then taken to Zygerrian empire[6] by Zygerrian enslavers.[5] The conquest came as part of the Separatists' alliance with the rebuilding Zygerrian Slave Empire,[2] which the Sith Lord Darth Sidious hoped to restore in preparation for his coming Galactic Empire.[7] Aware of the Separatist incursion, the 212th Attack Battalion and 501st Legion of the Republic Military were then dispatched to investigate the lack of communications from Kiros.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
The conquest of Kiros first appeared within "Kidnapped"[2] and was identified through Darts D'Nar's entry on the StarWars.com Encyclopedia. However, both it[8] and its later transfer to the Databank misspell Kiros as "Kiro."[4]
