When an Imperial Nu-class attack/transport shuttle arrived at Desix City, Governor Grotton and his TK trooper squad greeted the current governor, Tawni Ames at the square, where Grotton informed her that he would be replacing her as governor. Due to the Empire still not recognizing Desix as independent, Grotton and his squad were taken hostage by the Separatist holdout using B1-series battle droids. In the Mission to Desix, after storming the city, CC-2224 "Cody," CT-9904 "Crosshair," and "Nova" came across the city square where they initially encountered no resistance and infiltrated the bell tower. After Governor Grotton was rescued and Ames was executed by Crosshair, he ordered Cody and Crosshair to hang her body at the square to deter the inhabitants of a city from causing civil dissent. When the Galactic Empire arrived at the planet and occupied the city using TK Troopers, they rounded up at least 10 inhabitants of the city at the square.
