| abstract | - The Mortex Offensive, also called the Mortex Strategic Operation, was a Galactic Republic offensive into the Mortex sector of the Outer Rim Territories during the Clone Wars. As the Republic turned it's attention to the Outer Rim, among the first targets became the Mortex sector, as it was the location of the command headquarters of the Confederacy of Independent Systems' northern command, which directed all Separatist forces in the north of the galaxy. For this operation, the Grand Army of the Republic combined divisions from the Core Worlds to form two new formations—the First and Second Armies. They were collectively known as the Army Group Mortex, under overall command of Jedi Master Ugan Nemix. The CIS' northern front was commanded by Nyranos lij Xikharalik, a Kaleesh warlord, who had command over the defense of the sector—which was defended by the Sixth Army Corps and the Mortex Defense Fleet. On the planet of Nyranos' staff headquarters, Ranroon, his troops were aided by the Ranroon Royal Army. The campaign lasted for about two months, and resulted in heavy casualties for both sides, though with a Republic victory in the sector. The Republic gained control of the sector but at a cost of around 420,000 casualties (out of it's force of 960,000). The CIS forces had a strength of around one million droids and 200,000 organic fighters. Out of those, around 570,000 droids were destroyed, and 97,000 organic soldiers became casualties.
