Battle of Kamino: During the latter half of the Battles of Kalee and Kuat, and shortly after the beginning of the Battle of Dathomir, the Red Empire sent the Admiral Aplu Carneediin's fleet to Kamino Carneediin was a Twi'lek female with red skin). Her fleet was aided by the likes of Colonel Zhorin's Rampage Squadron of pilots as well as Commander Alruinio Forr's army (Zhorin was promoted from captain after his successes on Naboo and Coreilla). When the Empire arrived at Kamino, they were greeted by a large Republic fleet of 150 Venatrix Star Destroyers, as well as 20 of the last Venator Star Destroyers. However, this fleet was quickly dwarfed by the Empire's fleet of 2,000 Red Empire Star Destroyers, and 3 Emperial Class Star Destroyers. Jedi Knight Ahnaha Nanhha then led a massive squadron of Republic starfighters that were deployed from the Republic star destroyers to protect the Republic fleet. The Empire responded by sending in Colonel Zhorin and his squadron of starfighter pilots and F-7 Falcon Droids to intercept them.
Within minutes, most of the Republic's fleet was destroyed with four of the Venatrix Class Star Destroyers fleeing the system for Coruscant. The other five Venatrix surviving Class Star Destroyers fled to Tipoca and Timira Cities respectively. After that, most of the surviving clone pilots quickly jumped into hyperspace (to Coruscant), as well as Nanhha. Meanwhile, just after the Red Empire's invasion fleet arrived, they sent out Commander Alruinio Forr and his army in countless Red Empire Landing Craft to the Kaminoan cities of Tipoca and Timira Cities. There, they met stiff opposition from Jedi Master Nicela (she has been given the rank of Jedi Battlemaster as some point after the Battle of Mandalore), Jedi Knight Penaheist Rertun, millions of Kaminoans, the Kamino Protection Army (KPA), and the Timira City Armies.
Despite all efforts to hold the cities with their massive armies, the Republic forces were so vastly outmatched in numbers, that most of their units were completely wiped out or at the very least, heavily depleted. The battle ultimately cost the life of Rertun in Timira City at the hands of two Dark Jedi. The leader of the KPA, Commander Valor was also killed while fighting for his hometown of Tipoca City. Many of the survivors (and tanks) fled onto the five star destroyers that had landed at Tipoca and Timira Cities until they declared they were full. From there, these large ships fled the system, and proceeded to rendezvous with the rest of the Republic forces on Coruscant. These survivors included Nicela, Ahnaha Nanhha, Commander Sternal Torpoli (leader of the Timira City Armies), Ryate (the leader of the Kaminoans in the battle), and Commander Blox; who assumed command of the KPA following the death of Commander Valor.

All of the surviving Republic troops who did not escape Kamino surrendered to the Red Empire. This meant the last, and one of the most crucial planets for the Red Empire to capture before invading Coruscant was now under their control.
