Around 22 BBY during the Clone Wars, the Galactic Republic attacked the Confederacy of Independent Systems-controlled planet Aargonar. A contingent of clone troopers attacked a newly established Separatist base and killed Mina Bonteri's husband, who had served as an officer in the Confederacy military.
During the the galaxy-wide Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems, the planet Aargonar was under the control of the Confederacy. Aargonar was selected to be the site of a new base, which was established under the oversight of a Separatist officer who had a vehement belief in the Confederate cause. The officer also happened to be the husband of Separatist Senator Mina Bonteri, who shared his devotion to the Confederacy. Together, the two had a son named Lux some years before the war.
Around 22 BBY, the first year of the war, the Republic targeted and attacked Aargonar. A contingent of clone troopers attacked the yet to be completed base. Bonteri's husband defended himself and fought with merit, but he was ultimately killed by the clones.
The death of Bonteri's husband left her a widow and Lux without his father. Much to Mina's concern, Lux grew increasingly distant after the death of his father. Almost a full year since his passing, only missing the anniversary by one week, the Bonteris were visited by Republic Senator Padmé Amidala, who hoped to reach a diplomatic solution to the war and arrived with Ahsoka Tano, a Jedi Padawan and commander in the Republic Military.
