Kif
this high-energy ore was mined on the planet Gadon 3. Some fifty years before the Clone Wars, a shipment of Kif ore was eventually sold to enemies of the Gadon regime. The Gadons felt that they had been betrayed by their own miners, and appealed to the Old Republic for a ruling. The Republic's investigation revealed that the original sale had been completely legal, and that the miners were not responsible for the "final disposition" of the ores. The ruling angered the Gadons, and set a precedent for several other cases in which the Republic was negotiating for valuable ores.
