Today's planet is Eriadu. Eriadu is the home world of Grand Moff Tarkin. It was a planet in the Seswenna Sector of the Outer Rim. Eriadu was one of the Outer Rim's most active trade hubs. Its surface is covered mostly by large cities and industries. There is a orange haze of pollution that can be seen in Eriadu's atmosphere. A year before the events of the Phantom Menace Qui-Gon Jinn ad Obi-Wan Kenobi infiltrated a Trade Federation Conference on Eriadu and fought a terrorist organization called the Nebula Front who were secretly working under Darth Sidious. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan were able to defend Chancellor Valorum but were unable to prevent the deaths of the rest of the Trade Federation Directorate. This unfortunate loss allowed the Neimoidians to seize control of the Trade Federation.
