The Mortex Offensive, also called the Mortex Strategic Operation, was a Galactic Republic offensive into the Mortex sector of the Outer Rim Territories during the Clone Wars. As the Republic turned it's attention to the Outer Rim, among the first targets became the Mortex sector, as it was the location of the command headquarters of the Confederacy of Independent Systems' northern command, which directed all Separatist forces in the north of the galaxy.
