Balith's Civil War was a battle fought on the planet of Balith amidst the Clone Wars, which resulted in a plea for aid from the Galactic Republic. Jedi General Anakin Skywalker and the Grand Army of the Republic's Third Legion were sent to the war zone, following directives from the Jedi High Council. Clone Captain Rex and Skywalker left Coruscant, but Skywalker's Padawan, Ahsoka Tano, remained behind due to orders from the Jedi High Council. Skywalker ultimately came back from the war after discovering that Tano had safeguarded Senator Padmé Amidala – who was secretly Skywalker's wife – from an attempted assassination by Aurra Sing during the Alderaan Refugee Conference. During this time, war refugees traveled through the Outer Rim planetoid of Sídi. There, they compensated the innkeeper Rank for access to the abandoned military relay tower in order to seek positive updates, but they received none. After secretly observing him, Rank's daughter Bug learned the passcode to enter the tower after trailing the group without being seen.
The Balith civil war was initially referenced in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars third season episode titled "Assassin".
