Bestine IV

"I realize that you have been successful in shipping lommite through Malastare, and circling around Bestine to reach Fondor and the Core. But where will Eriadu be when Fondor opts to join the Confederacy?"

- Dooku questions Tarkin on his plans for the oncoming Clone Wars Bestine was a planet which shipments of lommite from the planet Eriadu had to circle around after passing through Malastare to reach Fondor and the Core Worlds. The Separatist leader Count Dooku was aware of the shipping route, and attempted to sway Eriadu's Governor Wilhuff Tarkin to side with his forces prior to the Clone Wars against the Galactic Republic by threatening that the route would no longer be viable due to Fondor supporting the his cause and not the Republic.
