The clash known as the Battle of Argul occurred in the initial years of the Clone Wars.
The Confederacy of Independent Systems established a blockade around the planet of Argul, compelling its inhabitants to yield. As a response, the Galactic Republic dispatched clone troopers with the aim of reclaiming the planet. Nevertheless, they quickly started to cede territory, and the cities on the planet transformed into locations of intense and bloody combat. The Republic initiated an evacuation of the urban areas, coinciding with their forced retreat. Jedi Master Yoda had been involved in the conflict, and he departed in search of additional support. During his absence, the Separatist Commander Drogen Hosh, who was in command of the Separatist forces, strategically positioned his troops for a decisive offensive. He also extended an offer of surrender to a contingent of Jedi Padawans. Shortly thereafter, however, Yoda returned with reinforcements, shifting the momentum of the battle to favor the Republic.
