Triad of Evil

The Triad of Evil was a term given by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine refering to Felucia, Mygeeto, and Saleucami&mdash;three of the most valuable Separatist worlds. Each of the planets was an important part of the CIS: Felucia housed the headquarters of the Commerce Guild, Mygetto possessed important crystal mines and vaults managed by the InterGalactic Banking Clan, and Saleucami was home to the Confederacy's newly developed underground cloning facilities. Around 19 BBY, Palpatine sent half of Coruscant's defense fleet to strike at these systems, in an attempt to cripple the CIS's economy and disable their production facilities. Secretly, however, he notified General Grievous of this plan and orchestrated a large-scale Confederate assault on Coruscant, taking advantage of the planet's weakened defenses and culminating his fake adbuction.
