More than 31 months after the Battle of Geonosis, Corellia was invaded once again by the Confederacy of Independent Systems under the leadership of Sora Bulq, a fallen Jedi who became Count Dooku's apprentice. Republic forces were able to land on the planet first under the command of Generals Eeth Koth, Anakin Skywalker, A'Sharad Hett, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Depa Billaba. However, the army had to separate two ways since the Separatists were doing the same. Eeth Koth and Xiaan Amersu led half of their army, along with individuals to assist them in battle.
