| - In 16 ArS, the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Sidious, better known as Palpatine, the Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic, was revealed to have initiated the Clone Wars in order to seize control of the Republic, reform it into an empire, and destroy the Jedi Order. Palpatine, despite having his true identity exposed, and his master plan foiled, was able to escape the galactic capital, and flee known space. As a result, the Jedi High Council was forced to take control of the Galactic Senate until a new Chancellor could be elected. Even though the primary threat was over, the Jedi Council determined that the last of the Separatist leaders had to be rounded up, so that the war could be brought to an official end. In order to accomplish this, the Council sent Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, and his former padawan, Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, both regarded as the best duo in the Order, on a mission, codenamed Operation: Endgame, to capture the members of the Separatist Council, in order to bring them back to Coruscant, so that they could be questioned for their involvement with the Sith, and to be tried for their crimes against the Republic. With the Delta-8 Jedi Starfighter, which housed two crew members, Kenobi and Skywalker traveled to the volcanic planet of Mustafar, where the Separatists' hidden base, the Klegger Corp Mining Facility, was, and sabotaged essential systems, in order to make the Separatist leaders' capture much easier, rather than try to take on the facility's entire defense network. When the bases' defenses were completely rendered useless by the Jedi, they called in the 501st Legion, the most elite group of clone troopers in the Grand Army of the Republic, along with the 7th Sky Corps, and all of it's subordinate battalions, companies, and squads, to finish the job. When the clone troopers arrived, their massive numbers easily overwhelmed the small amount of droid and Neimoidian forces stationed at the facility, allowing Kenobi and Skywalker to capture the members of the Separatist Council. After the Separatist leaders were put into custody, a deactivation signal was sent to all Separatist droid units, of which a very large amount of the CIS forces were made up of, and 99% of the Separatists planets and forts were forced to surrender to Republic forces. With this, the Clone Wars—one of the largest galactic conflicts of all time—were finally put to an end.
