Official History (CUSWE): this planet, noted for its unusual, bulbous plantlife, was the site of an intense battle during the final days of the Clone Wars. Saleucami, a name which surprisingly meant "oasis" in the native language, was an arid world marked by volcanic calderas formed by powerful meteor strikes. This meant that the many oases found on the planet were filled with magma, not water. Although many saw this as a problem, the natives used the available magma as a source of power. Saleucami was singled out by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, during the last stages of the Clone Wars, as one of the Outer Rim worlds that would be targetted by the Grand Army of the Republic. According to Palpatine, the worlds of Mygeeto, Felucia, and Saleucami were a "triad of evil" that served as Separatist bastions. Much of his statements were true, as Sora Bulq had established a cloning facility on the planet, where he was producing clones of the Morgukai warriors for Count Dooku and the armies of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Ostensibly, Palpatine ordered troops to Saleucami and several other worlds as a way to end the Outer Rim Sieges and bring the Clone Wars to a halt. In reality, it was just another ruse to spread the Jedi too thin to support each other. Jedi Masters Oppo Rancisis and Stass Allie led a contingent of clone troopers into the fighting, which lasted for many days before the Republic seemed to emerge victorious. However, Palpatine issued the Order Sixty-Six command to the clones, who then turned their fire on the Jedi and eliminated them.
TRF History: The Contegorian Confederation established a trade lane where Saleucami was a waypoint which brought the two cultures into contact. Trade, and then diplomatic relations were established to the benefit of both parties. During this time, a criminial syndicate established itself on the planet which restored the old Cloning Facilities of the planet for part of its plot to take over the planet's government. One of their targets was Commander Fyre, a Confederation officer who frequently made stops at Saleucami during convoy missions. He was kidnapped by Nevera, Minister of Culture and secret leader of the Syndicate. However, the Confederation forces present were none-to-happy with their officer's disappearance. A series of CSIS, commando teams, and native police scoured the planet looking for the Kashan man. He was eventually rescued by a team lead by Awdin Malcost. Following this incident, relations between the two grew from the defeat of their mutual enemy. This blossomed into the planet requesting, and attaining, membership into the Confederation.
Role within the Confederation: Saleucami serves a waypoint for a hyperlane established by the Confederation that allows flow between the Confederation Proper and the Meridian Sector. Like in previous centuries, Saleucami continues to serve as a regional trading port, drawing in traders and commerce action for the benefit of both the Confederation and Saleucami. Its regained cloning facilities provide a strong army for the region, and some of those troops are part of Federal units.
