From the year 19 BBY to 7 BBY, the Galactic Empire constructed a facility for bacteriological research. This outpost was situated in the main city of Haxim's kingdom found on the planet Falleen. However, in 7 BBY, a dangerous bacterium that consumes flesh broke free from the city, resulting in its rapid dissemination. To halt the bacterium's spread, the Empire opted to initiate a bombardment targeting the city, which led to the research outpost's annihilation.
