―CC-7427 "Rayvis" and Del Morrigan
The **Battle of Zygnost**, also known as the **invasion of Zygnost**, was a major battle that took place on the planet Zygnost between the Galactic Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. Following a diplomatic mission to Zygnost to determine the loyalty of the Far Tech Alliance, Senator Ladan Duran discovered President Meeko Shrike's betrayal of the Republic. As Duran attempted to peacefully have Shrike arrested, the Zygnostian ordered members of the Zygnostian Guard to attack the clone troopers, while he escaped. Moments later, the Confederate Head of State Count Dooku arrived on Zygnost with his personal flotilla to meet with Shrike. The flotilla quickly established a **blockade of Zygnost** as Dooku and Shrike met to discuss the Far Tech Alliance joining the Separatist Alliance.
