Skako was the capital homeworld of the Techno Union and a former capital of the Galactic Droid Empire. It was said to have been an Imperial planet used for droid manufacturing until the end of the Empire by 766 ABY.
During the War of Secession, Skako refused to allow the Galactic Confederate Systems to launch a bombing raid against Imperial Coruscant to retaliate against the Confederate Congress bombing. Due to their commercial neutrality, and the Imperial military's close proximity, the Skakoan government would not allow the GCS to launch a raid from the planet.
