==Prelude==
During the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems, in 20 BBY,Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates the closing events of the Onderonian Civil War, including Kalani's dispatchment to Agamar, to 20 BBY. the Separatist Droid Army had suffered several losses on the planet Onderon during their civil war with a group of rebels. In response, the Separatist ST-series military strategic analysis and tactics droid, General Kalani was dispatched to the planet in order to defeat the resistance fighters by Separatist Head of State, Count Dooku. However, following additional losses, Kalani was ordered by Dooku to withdraw the remaining forces from the planet and bring them to the planet Agamar to await deployment.
==The battle==
Around the time of 19 BBY, while awaiting further instructions, Kalani's DH-Omni Support Vessel came under assault from Republic forces above Agamar. As a result, amid the battle, the supply ship crashed onto the planet, which left the droid general and his battle droids abandoned on Agamar's surface while the Clone Wars proceeded to its closure.
==Aftermath==
Sometime after the Agamar engagements, the Jedi Order was eradicated across the galaxy as the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic received orders from Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine—secretly the Sith Lord Darth Sidious—to execute their Jedi Generals in accordance with Order 66. Following the beginning of the Jedi's purge from the galaxy, the Sith apprentice Darth Vader issued an immediate deactivation command to the Trade Federation, which ordered the shut-down of all battle droid units within the Separatist Droid Army, after his slaughtering of the Executive Separatist Council on the planet Mustafar. In assumption of it being a Republic deception, however, Kalani refused the order and neglected the deactivation of himself and his droid garrison on Agamar.
