Mygeeto

Region: Outer Rim
Environment: Crystalline
Sentient Species: Mygeetan

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 native population of small, simian Mygeetans was virtually enslaved by the IBC, who had little need for them. 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 were built well below the surface of the planet. These facilities 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 bring the Clone Wars to a halt.

Many decades later, after the Yuuzhan Vong War, the Imperial Remnant assumed control of the planet Mygeeto, making it one of the largest and wealthiest banking worlds in Imperial Space.
