Askirmish broke out onOrto Plutonia during theClone Wars.Battle droids stationed at a hiddenSeparatistbase on theplanet, which was erroneously believed to be uninhabited, provoked a village of the nativeTalz. The garrison ofGlid Station, aGalactic Republic military outpost built on Orto Plutonia at the behest of theinhabitants of themoonPantora, was caught in the middle. The Talz wiped out thedroids andclone troopers, leaving the droid heads and clonehelmets on spears at the two bases as a warning against return.[1]
After contact was lost with Glid Station,JediObi-Wan Kenobi andAnakin Skywalker, accompanied by their clone forces and Pantoran dignitariesChairmanChi Cho andSenatorRiyo Chuchi, visited Orto Plutonia toinvestigate. The two Jedi discovered the Talz and learned the story of what had happened fromchieftainThi-Sen, but Cho sparked a battle between the Talz and his people due to his insistence on claiming Orto Plutonia as sovereign Pantoran territory and refusing to view the Talz as sentient beings. After Cho's subsequentdeath in battle, Chuchi was able to negotiate peace between the Pantorans and Talz, agreeing to leave Orto Plutonia to them.[1]
