Operation: Bonteri (The Ripple)

Operation: Bonteri, commonly known as "Dooku's Battle" and also as known as the Grievous Offensive, was a major Confederate Operation into Republic Space. It was, at the time, the farthest either side had advanced since the beginning of the war, it would later be surpassed by the Republic Outer Rim Offensive.

Upon learning of the Republic's recently opened cloning facilities on planets other than Kamino, creating Clones that could be bred and trained in one year, rather than ten; Separatist generals soon realized that it was only a matter of time before the Republic would be able to blend the innate superiority of their Clone Troops with numbers approaching that of the cheaper, far inferior Battle Droids. It was believed that once the Republic was able to harness it's full production capacity, the war would be lost for the Confederacy. So a plan was created to end the war quickly. The plan involved pushing through The Republic Core Worlds to Coruscant, whilst also hitting other key targets such as Naboo and Kamino. Corellia and Kuat were major objectives due to their shipyards. The Operation was unique in that it involved, not only Battle Droids, but organic troops from all over the Confederacy that were contributed to the massive invasion, most notably the Mandalorian Super Commandos.
