The conflict known as the Retreat at Katraasii occurred on the world of Katraasii amidst the broader Clone Wars. Due to his performance during the withdrawal from Katraasii, Clone Commander Jai'galaar suffered a humiliating demotion to the rank of Captain. Fortunately for Jag, Jedi General Plo Koon selected him to serve as a test pilot for the newly developed ARC-170 starfighters.
