Battle of Tyos

The Battle of Tyos was a major conflict between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems that occurred in the first months of the Clone Wars. Having ties with the Republic through one of their own, the Adei people of Tyos rejected Separatist aid when Mandalorian diplomats arrived to discuss terms at the behest of Count Dooku. Enraged at the rejection, and the possible loss great warriors to further the Separatist cause, a newly appointed Acolyte spearheaded a Separatist invasion of the planet. Upon arrival, the acolyte managed to barter with the Rarikii faction, promising them victory and control over the Adei should they help the droid forces in battle.
