During the War of the Ring, the Galactic Republic and Jedi Order carried out an assault on Vizsla Keep 09 in an effort to capture Gollum and Saruman the White. The assault followed a battle on Ord Mantell, where Gollum captured Saruman the White and General The Mouth of Sauron after setting a trap for the two Separatist leaders. A team of Jedi, led by Jedi Masters Aragorn and Sam Gamgee, tracked Gollum to the supply outpost, where the former Sith apprentice convinced Saruman to join him and fight Darth Sauron.
Once the assault began, the Jedi team, along with a group of clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic, fought their way through an asteroid field and numerous Gauntlet fighters towards the base, which they boarded. The Jedi engaged Gollum and Saruman in a lightsaber duel, in which Jedi General Tiplee was killed. After Death Watch forces incapacitated the Jedi, Gollum and Saruman were able to escape. The alliance between Saruman and Gollum led the Jedi to suspect that Saruman was the Sith Master they had been searching for.
