History[edit | edit source]
Battle of Felucia[edit | edit source]
After Jedi General Plo Koon lost his fleet in the Battle of Abregado early during the Clone Wars against the Separatist Alliance,[8] he gained command of second fleet. This second fleet[1] participated in the first battle of Felucia when Jedi General Koon and Clone Commander CC-3636 "Wolffe" were dispatched along with the 104th Battalion to Felucia to rescue Galactic Republic forces led by Jedi Generals Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi.[4]
For this, three Venator-class Star Destroyers engaged the Separatist blockade in orbit above the planet while Koon led a squadron of starfighters and LAAT/i gunships to the surface. After punching a hole in the blockade, Republic craft descended on the surface, with the fighters protecting the gunships from Separatist vulture droid starfighters. After a dogfight, gunships soon landed on the surface and evacuated Skywalker and Kenobi, and later travelled to Jedi Commander Ahsoka Tano's position to rescue her and her forces.[4]
Continued service[edit | edit source]
When a series of earthquakes rocked the planet Aleen, two Pelta-class frigates and an Acclamator-class assault ship were dispatched along with units of the 104th Battalion to set up recovery sites and re-established systems.[7] After the Battle of Patitite Pattuna which resulted in the capture of Jedi General Adi Gallia, General Plo Koon and a force of five Venator-class Star Destroyers jumped out of hyperspace and attacked the Separatist Providence-class dreadnought Gallia was being held in while units of the 104th boarded the ship.[2]
Afterwards, a Venator-class and an Arquitens-class light cruiser participated in the Battle of Kadavo in order to rescue Togruta slaves from the Kadavo slave processing facility held by the Zygerrian Slave Empire. After the battle, two Pelta-class frigates escorted the warships for additional support.[3] By the concluding stages of the Clone Wars, the fleet participated in the Battle of Cato Neimoidia when at least two Venator-class Star Destroyers fought against three Providence-class dreadnoughts.[6]
