During the time of the Clone Wars, Count Dooku sent his apprentice, the Sith assassin Asajj Ventress, on a mission to seize Outpost 716, a task that even General Grievous was unsuccessful in his attempt to complete. Ventress swiftly eliminated three clone troopers guarding the exterior before she was restrained by Jedi General Mayanka Catrine along with Jedi Commander Agustin, unknowingly fulfilling Ventress's scheme: Ventress remained as a prisoner within the outpost for a number of days until she learned, by hearing a clone state it, that Catrine had left to undertake a new assignment. Realizing that both Jedi had left, Ventress broke free, defeated the base's security measures, and successfully took control of it for the Confederacy.
