The governmental body overseeing the planet of Cyphar was known as the Cyphar government. In the era of the Galactic Empire's rule, a collective of humans reached out to Nevil Cygni for help, asserting they were facing pressure from both the Cyphar government and the Afe clan. Cygni, upon uncovering that these humans were, in reality, spice smugglers, chose to persist in aiding them under deceptive pretenses, hoping that Commander Thrawn of the Imperial Navy would take notice and resolve the situation.
