    Christophsis

    A beautiful jewel of a world with immense crystalline formations, Christophsis was the site of repeated and heated battles in the Clone Wars. A blockade of Separatist vessels trapped a Senate relief mission behind enemy lines, necessitating a special Republic task force with experimental starship technology to scatter the blockade. This precipitated a full scale Separatist invasion of the planet, made possible by a traitor within the clone trooper ranks. In the end, the Republic was able to turn the Separatist invasion, and guard the planet from future incursions.

      • Later in the Clone Wars, the Separatists tried to avenge their earlier defeat with a strike at Christophsis – which gave Quinlan Vos and Asajj Ventress a chance to try and assassinate Count Dooku.

      • But Vos had his own agenda, and hoped to use Dooku to target Darth Sidious himself. The assassination attempt turned into a chaotic battle, with Republic forces shelling the Separatist headquarters in a desperate attempt to kill Dooku. When the fighting on Christophsis ended, Dooku had escaped, Vos had narrowly escaped falling to the dark side, and Ventress was dead.
