After extracting the surviving Jedi and Senator Padmé Amidala Naberrie, Yoda ordered his troops to engage the Sepratist forces in order to destroy several grounded ships. The droid forces counter-attacked, but were unable to prevent the destruction of several Techno-union frigates and at least one Trade-fed core ship.
