Eriadu Conference

The Eriadu Conference, also called the Eriadu Trade conference, or the Eriadu trade summit, was a diplomatic meeting that took place on the planet Eriadu in 33 BBY, in an attempt to solve the long-running power struggle between the Galactic Republic and the Trade Federation during the Republic Era. The Conference turned to disaster when a radical group known as the Nebula Front not only attempted to assassinate Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum of the Republic, but managed to kill the entire directorate of the Federation. The disastrous events at the Conference ushered in the taxation of the Free Trade Zones, which in turn led to the Naboo Crisis.
