During the era of the Galactic Republic, the Barsa sector was governed by a sector council. This council opted for a preemptive attack after local sector monitors found that the Ubese species on the planet Uba IV were producing weaponry outlawed since the Republic's founding, aiming to stop the Ubese from evolving into a significant danger. The subsequent orbital strike, however, triggered numerous Ubese strategic weapons, resulting in widespread destruction across several planets within the Uba system.
