In the year 3671 BBY, amidst the turmoil of the Great Galactic War, a planetary shield of immense power was erected on the Mid Rim planet of Bothawui by engineers working for the Galactic Republic. The Sith Empire aimed to obliterate the shield generator to enable orbital bombardment of the world; consequently, the shield became the central point of conflict during the second Battle of Bothawui that transpired that same year.
