CATS WITH BLASTERS!?!
—A clone trooper

The First Battle of Byss was a conflict on Byss during the Invasion of the Catpire, part of the Clone Wars. The battle was fought between the Galactic Republic and the Catpire and resulted in a Catpire victory.

The battle[]

Cat transports unloaded troops and vehicles on Byss. Meanwhile, a secret Confederacy of Independent Systems outpost was destroyed. Many buildings were leveled by fighters as the invaders entered the city. The clone forces were quickly dealt with. Jedi were sent to investigate, but were killed a few minutes after entering the system. Soon the Catpire had complete control over the planet. Walkers blew up the clone outpost.

After that, droid forces detected the Republic distress beacon, and went to Byss to take out the survivors of whatever happened there (there were no survivors, the beacon was set on during the fighting). Right after they entered the system, half of the fleet was destroyed by space mines left over from the other battle. Droid forces landed on the smoldering surface and sent out scouts. The STAPs were easily destroyed. The rest of the force attacked and were ambushed, meanwhile, the remaining CIS vessels engaged the vast Catperial Fleet. The battle on the ground soon ended, and the CIS fleet has been destroyed.

Aftermath[]

Civilians asked if they could evacuate the planet, and the Catpire agreed. But they gave the civilians a limited time before the Star Destroyers started blasting at them. Only a few of them escaped, due to the lack of operational ships. Most of the civilians that were left were killed, but some were left unharmed. Soon, more civilians came and the population was normal.

The Catpire built the Catporer's Tower on the planet. It was made of black marble. Life went on as normal for the citizens after the invasion. Buildings were rebuilt by human workers, planet security forces were replaced by Catperial authorities.
