In the waning months of the Clone Wars, the 501st faced missions critical to the agenda of Chancellor Palpatine. When we arrived at the bombed-out ruins of Mygeeto, our Jedi commander believed we had been sent to take out a droid energy collector. What Ki-Adi-Mundi didn't know, however, was that our unit of the 501st was really after an experimental Mygeetan power source that the Chancellor wanted for his "superlaser". Keeping Mundi in the dark wasn't easy; the Jedi had become increasingly wary of the Chancellor's doings, and were on the lookout for the slightest hint of treachery. Just like the rest of them, though, he never caught whiff of what was really going on, until it was far too late.
The success of the mission on Mygeeto was something of a revelation for the men of the 501st. Suddenly, we realised that the Jedi could be fooled. And if they could be fooled, they could be killed.

Couldn't resist drawing Ki-Adi-Mundi with bits of armour like he had on Hypori.

No illustration for the space battle over Coruscant, I’m afraid. But I do have the in-game Journal Entries for that mission:
As the Clone Wars progressed, more and more ground-based legions found themselves pressed into space combat, including the fighting forces of the 501st. For months, every hour of our downtime was spent in the simulator, preparing for the time we would face our enemies from the cockpit of a 170. Finally, the day came to earn our wings: the CIS had staged a daring kidnapping of Chancellor Palpatine and was being escorted from Coruscant by a fleet of Separatist ships. With only a few veteran pilots on-planet, many of the 501st were pressed into service to fight off the Seps and buy time for a pair of Jedi Knights to rescue the Chancellor.
After disabling the final capital ship, Generals Kenobi and Skywalker took advantage of the opportunity we’d created and rescued the Chancellor. Took all the credit too.
