Battle of Ylesia (TVC)

"All troops, this is Commander Lion! This war is almost over, but we've still got some kick in us, and we might as well use it! Get to your craft and prepare for a good fight, because we all know this'll be fun!"

- Lion's speech to the 44th before the gunship incursion of Ylesia.

The Battle of Ylesia was a battle on the planet of Ylesia in Hutt Space, and the very first engagement in the Outer Rim Sieges. Part of a joint operation with the 501st Battalion codenamed 'Operation Colossus', the battle was one of the last major engagements for the 44th SFD in the Clone Wars, and was one of the deciding battles of the conflict against the Confederacy of Independent Systems.
