The Galactic Republic had suffered multiple defeats by the Confederate General Grievous, which was weakening the Republic's foothold in the galaxy's Outer Rim. General Grievous invaded several planets and blockaded several important hyperspace routes leading to Bespin, Kessel, and Mon Calamari in the space of a single month. After the Jedi High Council learned that the next target for Grievous was Bothawui, the homeworld of the Bothans and a vital planet for Republic Intelligence, Jedi General Anakin Skywalker, Jedi Commander Ahsoka Tano, and their Republic fleet were dispatched to arrest the Supreme Martial Commander of the Separatist Droid Armies.

Before the Republic forces reached Bothawui, Grievous forced the fleet out of hyperspace in a confrontation. Despite this, the Republic fleet reached Bothawui while Grievous adapted his plans. The Supreme Commander decided to stop pursuing Skywalker, and fought in a battle at Falleen, resulting in the destruction of a Republic battle group. After Falleen, Grievous's fleet moved to take the strategic planet Bothawui. Jedi General Anakin Skywalker, his Padawan Ahsoka Tano, and their three Venator-class Star Destroyers task force were assigned to protect and hold the world of Bothawui. However, Jedi Council member Obi-Wan Kenobi urged Skywalker to retreat and regroup, knowing that Grievous was coming. In addition, spies had alerted the Separatist general to the presence of the Jedi cruisers beyond the planetary rings. Despite being outnumbered, Skywalker had devised a plan.
