The Battle of Kessel was a major battle during the Clone Wars in 20 BBY on the planet Kessel. Evil Jedi General Moon Ni Rin attacked the planet to gain it for the evil Galactic Republic. However, the CIS Blockade of Kessel defended the planet as long as they could but were overran by the Republic Navy and they were able to land their troops and attack the Droid Works. The Republic Navy and Confederate Navy destroyed each other to where no ships were left and the heroic super tactical droid called Count Dooku to send reinforcements. The reinforcements Dooku sent was Grievous, hero of the Clone Wars as he and his Armada arrived to destroy the evil Jedi and they saved Kessel from the evil Republic.
