A conspiracy theory was popular among various people searching for Ossus
A conspiracy theory, that was a favorite among theorists, involved the planet Ossus during the Clone Wars. According to the story, that was allegedly told by a dying ARC trooper, early in the war, Count Dooku led a cadre of IG-100 MagnaGuards to the planet, where he established a Separatist base to search for lost artifacts. Almost two years later, in response to rumors of a Separatist discovery, Jedi Master Tholme sent an elite contingent of ARC troopers to investigate. The unit infiltrated the base and recovered numerous artifacts before calling in an airstrike.[1] In reality, Tholme had died in the first year of the war, 22 BBY.[2]
The rumors and conspiracy theories increased as public sentiment turned against the Jedi during their final days.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
In the Star Wars Legends continuity, the planet Ossus experienced two battles during the Clone Wars, one early in the war, and another during the Outer Rim Sieges, which saw the attack on Separatist base.[3]

"Boba Fett and Other Characters of the Underworld" — Star Wars Encyclopedia establishes that the engagement was fought months before the Battle of Christophsis, which is also dated to 22 BBY by Galactic Atlas. Therefore, the battle between Tholme and Ventress must take place in 22 BBY.
