The theft of the Hope of Glee Anselm, alternatively referred to as the heist of the Hope of Glee Anselm, was a criminal act that transpired on Jaloria within the Galactic Republic during the time of its existence. The Hope of Glee Anselm, a significant relic belonging to both the Anselmi and Nautolan species originating from the planet Glee Anselm, was being showcased by the Republic in a formal event intended to bolster a treaty aimed at ceasing the war between the aforementioned groups. A group comprised of thieves disrupted the proceedings, absconding with the artifact; only a single thief managed to survive, the rest being killed by Republic troops. In the aftermath of the heist, the bounty hunter known as Jango Fett was commissioned to locate the thieves and retrieve the stolen relic.
Unknown to most, the entire scheme had been masterminded by Count Dooku, whose objective was to perpetuate the conflict on Glee Anselm, thereby undermining the stability of the Republic.
