Third Battle of Mygeeto The Third Battle of Mygeeto erupted on the planet Mygeeto during the final months of the Clone Wars . Mygeeto , which was aligned with the InterGalactic Banking Clan , became host to a military presence from the Confederacy of Independent Systems , with General Grievous and Colonel Coburn Sear overseeing a detachment from the Separatist Droid Army . The Galactic Republic was quick to respond with force , but its troop s became severely outnumbered , requiring reinforcements in the form of Jedi General Depa Billaba and her battalion of clone trooper s . Upon their arrival on Mygeeto , Billaba and her Padawan , Caleb Dume , led their soldier s to purge the Separatist battle droid s from the southern mesas . While they were doing so , a horde of droid s trapped both Jedi , Clone Captain Styles , and trooper Stance on a city platform . Only the time ly intervention of Skull Squadron , a Mandalorian unit led by Skull Leader Fenn Rau , saved the four of them . Shortly after Billaba , Dume , and their men returned to their base camp , Grievous and Sear launched an assault on their position . While Sear engaged Dume in single combat , Billaba entered into a lightsaber duel with Grievous . Sear committed suicide when he incinerated himself and tried to claim Dume ' s life alongside his own , but Dume beheaded him with his lightsaber . Dume , Styles , and Clone Commander Grey then went to aid Billaba , whom Grievous had severely injured , but Grievous managed to escape .
