Home Planet Party
this political faction formed on the planet Bandomeer, and was supported by the native Meerians as well as the Arconans who lived there while working for Arcona Mineral Harvest Corporation. The primary goal of the party was the retaking of control of Bandomeer's natural resources and the restoration of the planet's natural beauty. Both had been taken by the mining companies that stripped the planet of azurite and other minerals. Led by the charismatic VeerTa, the party was striving to become financially independent from the mining companies when Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi were lured into the trap set by Xanatos. After exposing Xanatos and VeerTa as partners - although VeerTa believed she was working with the party's best interests in mind - in the destruction of the Home Planet Mine, the party became unnecessary as Offworld Mining Company left Bandomeer alone.
