"Gunray's capture could be a serious threat to us, my friend. The viceroy will not last long under Jedi interrogation." "I have already put a plan into action, my Lord. My best agent, Asajj Ventress, will infiltrate the Jedi ship, and either free Gunray, or silence him."
While theJedi were interrogating Gunray, aclone naval officer informed them that aSeparatistboarding party was arriving out ofhyperspace. The ships deployedB2-series super battle droids andB2-HA series super battle droids into the hangar, and the Separatist forces quickly overwhelmed and defeatedGreen Leader and the clones ofGreen Company. As the clones were killed, Ventress emerged from one of the boarding craft and as she made her way to the reactor room, beheaded a survivingclone and claiming his comlink. Infiltrating the ceiling vents, she dropped into thereactor room, evading327-T and a patrol consisting of acaptain and another trooper, and finally planting explosives.[3]

Unduli and Gree reinforced the clones defending the hallways after Unduli assigned Tano, Argyus, and a group of Senate Commandos to guard Gunray. However, Ventress made her way to the detention level and attacked the guards, killing two Senate Commandos and, knowing her ally Argyus needed to protect his cover, Force-pushed the Captain into a wall before being attacked by Tano. After an exchange of insults, Ventress began to duel Tano. Outmaneuvering the young Padawan, Ventress deactivated the laser gate of Gunray's cell and kicked Tano into it. As Gunray quickly escaped the cell, he reactivated the lasers, trapping Tano inside. However, before Ventress and Gunray could escape, Unduli and a force of clones arrived. Unduli freed Tano, and the two Jedi dueled Ventress until she triggered the explosives in the reactor room fleeing the Jedi during the ensuing explosion.[3]
Despite regaining custody of Gunray, Argyus reported that the damage to the ship was extensive. While Gunray was taken back to his cell, Unduli decided to pursue Ventress alone. Tano offered to help, but Unduli tasked her with continuing to guard Gunray. Unduli tracked her to the reactor room, but was injured in a surprise attack by Ventress, who slashed open a pipe that damaged Unduli's left eye. Nevertheless, Unduli held her own against Ventress, even taunting her and calling her technique sloppy.[3]

Meanwhile, an anxious Tano voiced her wish to aid Unduli against Ventress, and cleverly, Argyus encouraged her to disobey her and help. Tano arrived as Ventress kicked Unduli and trapped her under debris, saving her from a killing blow before freeing the Jedi Master and confronting Ventress together. Ventress opted to flee, signaling Argyus with her stolen comlink to free Gunray. Argyus shot two remaining Senate Commandos and then engaged in blaster combat with Gree. When Gree shot the blaster out of his hand, Argyus freed Gunray and used him as a living shield. When Gree notified Unduli of the betrayal, Ventress re-engaged the Jedi to prevent them from supporting Gree.[3]
When Gree demanded the now weaponless Argyus to surrender, Argyus shoved Gunray into Gree, taking advantage the Commander's surprise to kick off his helmet and disarm him. Gree then punched Argyus in the face, but before he could take aim at him, Gunray claimed a blaster and knocked out Gree from behind. When Argyus signaled Ventress that Gunray had been freed, she escaped back through the vent, throwing athermal detonator at the Jedi to deter their pursuit. Argyus and Gunray commandeered aConsular-class space cruiser and retrieved Ventress, who had escaped theTranquility in anescape pod. As Argyus congratulated them on their success, Ventress decided to execute him.[3]
Aftermath[]
"Yes. Ahsoka Tano has inherited many of Skywalker's traits. But she helped me fight a formidable Sith assassin, and for that I owe her my life." "I am grateful she was there for you, Master."
After being requested by Jedi MasterMace Windu to join the upcominginvasion of Geonosis[6] in21 BBY,[7] Unduli informed her PadawanBarriss Offee that she was also to accompany her. She also told Offee that Tano would also be at Geonosis with her MasterAnakin Skywalker. When she was asked by Offee if she had met Tano, Unduli responded that she had met her, and whilst she had inherited many of her Master's traits, she had helped her fight Ventress during the rescue, and therefore owed Tano her life. In response Offee felt guilt for not being present to protect her own Master, but expressed her gratefulness that Tano had been there for Unduli.[6]
