Billaba and herapprentice,Caleb Dume, arrived with their battalion then moved out towards the canyons, splitting into fivesquads to sweep the area. Billaba and her battalion then came under attack bybattle droids. With the trail gone, Billaba's battalion was unable to retreat. She then called air support. Dume leaped head-on into the battle droids. Billaba then leftClone CorporalBig-Mouth behind with Dume to keep the battle droids at bay while she destroyed the jamming signal.[3]
Colonel Sear observed Dume fought and soon took a speeder to find Billaba before she could outflank his forces. Dume was then wounded and surrounded by battle droids, but he was saved by theclone trooperCT-1157, who sacrificed himself to save Dume. Despite, Billaba and her troops then targeted Sear's shuttles slowly. Sear, knowing that his forces could not risk being stranded there, ordered his troops to pull back and secure theirshuttles. Thus the Separatist forces retreated.[3]

Following the battle, CT-1157, earning the name "Stance" for his actions, received a commendation for valor. Billaba and her battalion were then sent to Mygeeto.[3]
