Conquest of Cato Neimoidia

During the Clone Wars, the planet Cato Neimoidia was conquered by the Galactic Republic at some point after it had fallen under the control of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The base-of-operations for the Trade Federation, the Cato Neimoidian government had previously tried to take a neutral stance in the war,Brotherhood but the planet instead became a hotly contested battleground for both the Republic and CIS. The Federation's importance to the war made the Republic seek control over the planet; in addition to the assault on Cato Neimoidia, the Republic Military continued to make ground and air attack runs to keep control over the planet. After the Republic's conquest, the Separatists sought to take Cato Neimoidia back and did so through an invasion. In response, the Republic needed to launch another assault towards the end of the conflict.Star Wars: Battles that Changed the Galaxy
