The Jixuan desert was located in the southern hemisphere of the planet Ryloth. In 21 BBY, during the Galactic Republic's efforts to liberate the planet from the Confederacy of Independent Systems' control in the Clone Wars, the Republic forces of Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi had managed to gain control of the Jixuan desert following their engagements with the Separatist Droid Army in the settlement of Nabat and other villages. With Kenobi's capture of the desert, the Republic was able to claim control over the planet's southern hemisphere.
The Jixuan desert was introduced via holographic projection in "Liberty on Ryloth," the twenty-first episode of the first season of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series, which aired on March 13, 2009.
