The 501st, according to Mundi, were dispatched to Mygeeto to destroy an energy collector which powered Separatist facilities in the area. A second unit of the Grand Army involved in the battle were elements of the 501st Legion, who were sent on a special mission from the Chancellor himself. The unit fought the Separatist Droid Army in extended urban fighting amid the ultramodern towers of a major Mygeetan city. Two major units participated in the battle, with a majority of the fierce combat falling upon the Galactic Marines, under the command of Jedi General Ki-Adi-Mundi and Commander Bacara. Subsequently, the battle intensified on the planet, which was a major holding of the InterGalactic Banking Clan. A light Separatist blockade was easily destroyed and the Republic soon began landing ground forces on the surface.

The Battle of Mygeeto officially began late 20 BBY as Republic forces were dispatched to the system and invaded Mygeeto.
