- "Commander, the invasion fleet is coming out of hyperspace."
- ―Captain Rex, to Ahsoka Tano
During the early days of the Clone Wars, an invasion fleet was dispatched from the Galactic Republic's[2] Fifth Fleet.[3] It was led by Jedi Generals Obi-Wan Kenobi and Mace Windu and was sent to the planet Ryloth, where it participated in the Battle of Ryloth and transported units of the 7th Sky Corps and the 91st Mobile Recon Corps to the planet's surface. The fleet consisted of three Acclamator-class assault ships,[1] although one ship received heavy Separatist fire that destroyed an engine,[2] forcing it to break off its attack.[4]
Behind the scenes[]
The invasion fleet first appeared, albeit unidentified, in "Storm Over Ryloth",[1] the nineteenth episode of the animated television series Star Wars: The Clone Wars' first season, which originally aired on February 27, 2009.[5]
