Mygeeto was a wealthy InterGalactic Banking Clan colony between Ord Biniir and Morishim under control of the Confederacy of Independent Systems.
GEOGRAPHY
Since the planet was locked in an ice age, giant crystallized glaciation and ice covered its surface, as well as huge crystal spurs. Because of this, Mygeeto means "gem" in the ancient trade language of the Muuns. Mygeeto's internal fires long since cooled and had left a huge deposit of precious stones within its crust and mantle. The immense assets of nova crystals and fields of lasing crystals made Mygeeto one of the wealthiest worlds in the galaxy. The planet's ice shelves were also home to huge deadly worms.
Mygeeto did not have many mountain ranges - instead it was a crystal-rich planet bearing thousands of different kinds all over the surface and crust. There were no reported volcanoes or volcanic activity on the planet meaning it was a very unique planet.
The few cities on Mygeeto were sunken into the crystalline surface. These cities drew power by synthesizing certain crystals and were built around large capacitor towers that stored and distributed the valuable energy. These cities were used for administering the surrounding crystal mines though they also contained vaults which were used by the InterGalactic Banking Clan.
Nearly all of the planet was covered in thick ice and the polar climate meant weather systems where extemely unsettled - snow storms battered the frigid surface constantly. Before the giant ice age, Mygeeto had climate ranging form polar to temperate - 30% of Mygeeto was covered in polar ice caps and 70 was either tundra or temperate. Temperature varied between -47 degrees in polar areas to 17 degrees in equatorial areas.
Every 200 years or so Mygeeto would go through a snow shift meaning snowfall would be persistant and low pressure would dominate the northern hemisphere. This would also mean Mygeeto's mean temperature would dip significantly affecting the whole planet.

HISTORY
Due to easily mined formations of naturally-occurring, high-quality crystals present on the planet, the InterGalactic Banking Clan guarded Mygeeto with a fleet of warships including the Munificent-class Star Frigates. As a result, access by rivals to the planet was difficult. Even if intruders had bypassed the blockade, they were faced with the harsh, frozen surface of the planet itself. The Jedi had always wanted to explore the planet because of the large supply of natural crystals suitable for lightsaber construction.

The InterGalactic Banking Clan also constructed several cities in Mygeeto. These cities were used for administering the surrounding crystal mines, though they also contained vaults which were used by the Banking Clan to store its treasures. During the Clone Wars, Mygeeto became a valuable member of the Confederacy of Independent Systems and was as a result named by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine as part of a "triad of evil", alongside Felucia and Saleucami.
ENDGAME
Later, Jedi General Ki-Adi-Mundi led the Republic assault on the world along with Commander Bacara and the elite Galactic Marines. The planet would be the site of many horrific battles during the Clone Wars. By the conclusion of the battle, The blistering cannonades and laserfire of towering Separatists tri-droids and Republic artillery carriers reduced much of the city and crystalline landscape into rubble, polluting the icy winds with a persistent pall of gray ash. Many Republic vehicles, including UT-ATs, were blown apart by Confederate tri-droids. Later, Ki-Adi-Mundi's forces were reinforced by troopers from the 501st Legion sent by Palpatine himself.
Officially, the 501st Legion had been sent to destroy a droid energy collector, but in reality they were searching for an experimental power source that Palpatine required for a top-secret tributary laser-stream project code-named Hammertong. Clone Troopers destroyed two turbo laser turrets so that Ki-Adi-Mundi could land. After landing, Ki-Adi-Mundi headed for a Separatist tower, in which he was forced to fight three droidekas. Ki-Adi-Mundi managed to destroy the droids and detonate the tower, securing the power source that Palpatine had been looking for. Finally, he sent the power source off the planet, and aided the Clone Troops in the main battle. Towards the end of the battle, Commander Bacara received Order 66 and his troops killed Ki-Adi-Mundi mercilessly.
IMPERIAL ERA AND NEW REPUBLIC ERA
After the birth of the Galactic Empire, Mygeeto became a "bank world" for the Grand Imperial Navy, and the native Mygeetans became slaves for the Empire much like the Wookiees. After the death of Emperor Palpatine and the destruction of the second Death Star, the New Republic liberated Mygeeto from Imperial clutches and Mygeeto became an official member of the New Republic. Mygeeto managed to avoided the attacks of the Yuuzhan Vong, however the rest of the Muun territory did not fair as well.
