An ice field existed within the galaxy. Count Dooku's frigate discovered Anakin Skywalker's Delta-7B Aethersprite-class light interceptor and its ruined hyperspace transport ring floating aimlessly in this ice field. Because it was the property of Anakin Skywalker, the interceptor was retrieved and placed on the frigate for closer examination; subsequently, the youthful Jedi was overwhelmed and captured following a short fight with battle droids.
