In the concluding year of the Clone Wars, specifically 19 BBY, a battle unfolded on the planet of Metalorn. This conflict pitted the Galactic Republic against the Confederacy of Independent Systems. As part of the Outer Rim Sieges, the Confederacy's military forces were under the command of General Linwodo, a ST-series military strategic analysis and tactics droid who had previously participated in the Republic's siege of Boz Pity and subsequently in the Confederacy's assault on Kashyyyk.
