"With regret, I report that my fleet will no longer be able to provide protection for the troops on Ryloth."

―Admiral Dao, reporting to the Jedi Council^[1]

During the battle for the planet Ryloth, Admiral Dao commanded a fleet of the Galactic Republic's Open Circle Armada.^[1] The grouping of starships served as a relief supply fleet for the people of Ryloth^[3] and attempted to protect^[4] the planet, which had fallen under a blockade and ground invasion launched by the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The Separatist naval forces fought and destroyed Dao's fleet above Ryloth, taking Dao with it.^[1]

"Admiral Dao, this is General Di. We're in trouble down here. We need those supplies immediately."
"I understand, General, but I am in no position to help. We are critically low on fuel and ammunition."

―Jedi General Ima-Gun-Di speaks to Admiral Dao^[1]

Dao's fleet consisted of at least two Venator-class Star Destroyers, which were destroyed after sustained fire from the Separatist ships.^[1]
