Legend

this was one of the final battles that were fought during the Clone Wars. Mygeeto was singled out by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, along with the worlds of Felucia and Saleucami, as a "triad of evil" that served as Separatist bastions. The Galactic Marines, led by Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi and Comander Bacara, were dispatched to eliminate the Separatist forces that were holed up on the planet. 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. In reality, the Battle of Mygeeto and the Outer Rmi Sieges were simply ways to spread the Jedi Order out so thin that it was unable to react when Order 66 was given. The battle ended when Bacara and his troopers destroyed Ki-Adi-Mundi and took control of the planet in the name of Palpatine's new Empire.
