The Battle of the Phindar Spaceport unfolded during the Clone Wars. In this conflict, Dark Acolyte Asajj Ventress launched an assault on the Phindar Spaceport, her objective being to kill Grand Master Yoda.
Count Dooku instructed Asajj Ventress at Château Malreaux on Vjun to deliver Jedi Master Jai Maruk to him alive, completing his "treaty" with Yoda. However, after scarring Maruk, Ventress felt he deserved to be "number seventeen" on her list of slain Jedi. Dooku's strategy was unchangeable. Ventress, aboard her ship, Last Call, observed a figure resembling Yoda boarding a starship. She pursued him to Ithor and eliminated the escort pilots. Realizing through the Force that "Yoda" was actually actor Palleus Chuff, a decoy, she opted to capture him and destroy the ship, creating the illusion of Yoda's demise.
The events that transpired on Ithor negatively impacted the Republic's morale, which pleased Ventress. However, she was angered by reports claiming she had only killed eleven Jedi. Regardless, she pressed on with her mission and enlisted the help of an FIII Footman droid named Solis to reveal Yoda's true location. Ventress, accompanied by eighteen A-series assassin droids aboard the Last Call, attempted an unsuccessful ambush on Grand Master Yoda at Phindar Station, but she did succeed in killing Masters Maruk and Maks Leem. Unbeknownst to Ventress, Chuff managed to escape and collaborate with Yoda to destroy the Last Call.
