The governor's tower, situated within the Artisan colony, functioned as the central command location for Governor Roshti throughout the period of the Clone Wars. At one point during the conflict, the Confederacy of Independent Systems launched an invasion of Kiros, leading to the tower's transformation into the operational base for Separatist Commander Darts D'Nar.
During the Republic's intervention to counter the Separatist seizure, negotiations between Darts D'Nar and Obi-Wan Kenobi took place inside the tower. D'Nar coerced Kenobi into surrendering by threatening to detonate bombs strategically placed around the city. Kenobi then outmaneuvered D'Nar, compelling him to engage in hand-to-hand combat as per Zygerrian customs, giving time for the bombs to be deactivated. Once the bombs were defused, Kenobi attempted to make D'Nar give up. However, D'Nar triggered an explosion within his tactical droid, which Kenobi used the Force to throw out of the window. D'Nar made his escape during Kenobi's momentary distraction, but he was apprehended before he could leave the planet.
The tower's architectural design resembles the form of a Togruta head.
