Cestus Cybernetics

After a plague swept the native X'Ting, Cestus Cybernetics gained near-complete control of Ord Cestus.

By 22 BBY, Cestus Cybernetics was controlled by Five Families. These families were the true power behind the throne of Cestus, and attempted to drive Cestus into the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. The attempt was ultimately unsuccessful, and many representatives of the Five Families were killed when ARC trooper Jangotat called down an orbital strike onto the Families' bunker. The remaining members of the Five Families accepted Galactic Republic rule.
