Brain worms quarantine was a military operation aimed to stop the spread of brain worms infection started in the Battle of Geonosis, which had caused Alliance Republic s, and too, to be controlled by Coalition s.

Ahsoka Tano and Barriss Offee were the first to fight the plague, when aboard the Surprise, departed from Geonosis after the battle, clones started revolting. Unfortunately, Barriss was infected too, and Ahsoka remained alone agains everyone. When the ship reached its destination, a medical station where Kit Fisto was waiting medical supplies, the freezer temperature had killed all brain worms, but a detached escape pod had managed to reach a, Mariner.

When the departure was discovered, Kit Fisto went to the probable coordinates aboard the Hippocrates, leading Contain Company, and there he immediately found that the Mariner was already nearly conquered. He made an attempt of preventing the ship from jumping in hyperspace, momentously deactivating the reactor, while his troops tried to took the bridge, failing. At the end, they all retired on the Hippocrates when overwhelmed by enemies, and the Mariner was free to jump to a new destination and continue the infection.

Back in Alliance space, Kit Fisto asked reinforcements to join his mission and a an announcement was given universe-wide, talking about the rising menace of brain worms.
