"Commander, it is vital to this assignment that we get to that citadel! If we fail, everyone fails, because then the Separatists will have a chance at victory. Now you get those men out there, regardless of the consequences it brings!"

- General Kenek Sundar to Commander CC-7654 The Invasion of Maridun was a massive invasion on the grassland world of. When word that the had built a massive citadel on the planet, the  immediately took action to claim the world for the Republic, in the hopes of also driving the Separatists out. The Republic forces mostly consisted of the 310th Brutal Battalion and the 553rd Legion, meanwhile the Separatist forces were led by the, Liros Karan.

Early in the invasion, the Jedi High General Akenai Andoa was withdrawn from the battle because his presence was required at the on, and he was replaced by the Jedi Knight Kenek Sundar in his absence. The members of the 310th Battalion, especially those of Falcon Squad, came to distrust the Jedi General and his judgement when it came to battle tactics, as many soldiers were lost in the many fights that occurred under his poor command. It was because of this that the Republic slowly faltered, although would eventually manage.

It was later revealed that Sundar was a Dark Jedi that served no one but himself, and would one day become the apprentice of not Count, but another that was much more powerful. While the 310th did try to arrest him for not only being a threat, but also because he ordered 310th soldiers against the 553rd, he escaped. He later returned after the capture of the Separatist citadel, which was a successful mission, but was struck down after a long carnage by CT-4007.

The battle was a Republic victory in the end, although the 310th had suffered major casualties because of Sundar's battle tactics, which he did "by the book." Liros Karan was apprehended and taken to Coruscant to be imprisoned, although not long after he managed to escape.
