Cradle of the Confederacy

The Cradle of the Confederacy was, during the Clone Wars, a swath of Separatist industrial planets that produced warships and weapons for the Confederacy of Indepedent Systems. Metalorn was part of the Cradle and because of this a constant target for Galactic Republic privateers and saboteurs wanting to disrupt the flow of Separatist weapons from the Cradle.
