A fortified base existed on the planet Alamass, and it was controlled by the Galactic Republic throughout the duration of the Clone Wars. The Confederacy of Independent Systems launched an assault on this base, devising a strategy that involved the expendable use of numerous battle droids given the perilous frozen landscape of the world. The tactical droid overseeing the deployment of troops opted for a more secure landing zone, preventing significant losses from environmental hazards, but also exposing them to detection by the Republic. The Republic military stood ready to protect the fortress, leading to a defeat for the Separatists, but with a reduced quantity of droid losses.
