Legend

this crystalline world was covered with thin, ice-like sheets of nova crystals, making travel across its surface dangerous at best. The name Mygeeto came from the Muun word for gemstone, and indicated its unusual environments. The native crystal worms that lived beneath the crystalline ice compounded the danger. Despite the inherent dangers, the InterGalactic Banking Clan seized control of Mygeeto and quickly began mining its crystals. The planet was heavily guarded from orbit, ensuring that its crystalline riches were not stolen. The few cities that were estrablished on the planet were centered on crystal-processing facilities that synthesized specific types of crystal for power. Mygeeto was singled out by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, during the last stages of the Clone Wars, as one of the Outer Rim worlds that would be targetted by the Grand Army of the Republic. According to Palpatine, the worlds of Mygeeto, Felucia, and Saleucami were a "triad of evil" that served as Separatist bastions. Ostensibly, Palpatine ordered troops to Mygeeto and several other worlds as a way to end the Outer Rim Sieges and being the Clone Wars to a halt.
