Legend

this planet, located in the same star system as Kulthis, was chosen by the Separatists as a remote hiding place during the height of the Clone Wars. General Grievous was placed in charge of removing the leaders of the Confederacy of Independent Systems to Belderone, to protect them from being captured and interrogated by the Old Republic. However, word of the transfer leaked out to the Republic after Nute Gunray's mechno-chair was captured on Cato Neimoidia, and a task force led by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker scored a resounding victory over the Separatist forces at Belderone. Grievous was forced to flee the system in order to protect his charges. However, in order to clear his escape route, Grievous destroyed several ships carrying refugees from the surface of Belderone. More than ten thousand refugees were killed, along with twenty-seven Jedi, during the brief conflict. Years later, Belderone was the site of an Imperial laboratory, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The natives of Belderone pledged their support to the Empire, and disliked their rebellious brethren on Kulthis.
