Gadon 3, a planet located within the Outer Rim Territories's Tion Cluster, was well-known for its deposits of Kif. The indigenous Gadons had a long-standing grievance regarding the historical control exerted by Kismaano. A conflict arose in 71 BBY when the Kif miners initiated ore sales to adversaries of the Gadons, leading to intervention by the Galactic Republic, who ultimately sided with the miners.
