Mission to Felucia (pre–Naboo Crisis)

The mission to Felucia was a task assigned to Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas by the Jedi High Council prior to the Invasion of Naboo, where he was tasked with resolving a tribal dispute on the planet Felucia. Unbeknownst to the Council, Sifo-Dyas had been sent on a secret mission to Oba Diah to negotiate with the Pyke Syndicate by Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum. Sifo-Dyas, accompanied by the Chancellor's aide Silman, departed the negotiations for Felucia, but was assassinated by the Pykes on the request of a man they knew as "Tyranus," secretly the former Jedi Count Dooku, who had, unbeknownst to the Order, fallen to the dark side and become a Sith Lord and the apprentice of the Dark Lord Darth Sidious, publicly Naboo Senator Sheev Palpatine.
Dooku and Sidious wished Sifo-Dyas dead in order to take control of the clone army Sifo-Dyas had secretly ordered from the cloners of the remote planet Kamino, as he had foreseen a war coming that would require the Galactic Republic to have an army. Dooku then travelled to Felucia with the body, deceiving the tribal elders into thinking that Sifo-Dyas was still alive and that he was another Jedi who had accompanied him. The Sith Lord then faked Sifo-Dyas' death in the conflict and had his body cremated.
The Jedi Council believed Sifo-Dyas had died on Felucia until the last year of the Clone Wars,The Jedi believed Sifo-Dyas had died on Felucia until the events of "The Lost Ones," which is dated to 19 BBY—the last year of the Clone Wars—by Star Wars: Timelines. when the wreckage of Sifo-Dyas' ship was uncovered on the Oba Diah moon, with his lightsaber still inside — clear proof that he could not have perished on Felucia. Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi were sent to speak with the Pykes, and discovered the true circumstances of Sifo-Dyas' death and that the Sith had been responsible.
