Dakshee, a planet, was situated within the Barma sector of the Colonies. It functioned as the capital of that sector. During the era of the Galactic Empire's governance, Dakshee was known for its persistent instability.
This planet, Dakshee, resided in the Barma sector, a part of the Colonies region, specifically within the Slice of the galaxy. It was geographically close to Carida, and its sector shared borders with both the Haldeen and Kliap sectors.
The AX system, featuring the asteroid AX-456, and the Brella Temior system were also components of the Barma sector.
By the time of the Imperial Period, Dakshee had served as the capital of the Barma sector for a considerable number of centuries. The Galactic Empire maintained control over the planet for an extended duration. However, Dakshee was characterized by continual discord, so much so that the Empire regarded it as a troublesome world.
Gerald Weizel eventually held the position of governor of Dakshee. While in office, he discovered that several leaders of union on the planet were actually the masterminds behind the terrorist organization known as the Justice Action Network. Weizel resolved the affair without any bloodshed. During his tenure as Dakshee's governor, Weizel also managed the Brella Temior crisis, which brought the ambitious governor to the attention of the Imperial Court. Weizel's involvement in both the Dakshee affair and the Brella Temior crisis earned him a reputation for effectively handling problematic planets. This reputation ultimately led to his appointment as the new governor of Chandrila in 1 ABY.
During the opening years of the Galactic Civil War, the Rebel Alliance disseminated propaganda broadcasts to Dakshee's restless populace from a concealed base situated in the nearby AX system. Operatives affiliated with the Rebel cause on Dakshee eventually established a permanent relay station on the asteroid AX-456. This relay station had only recently become operational when, in 1 BBY, the Empire assaulted the installation.
As the Dentaal Uprising commenced in 0 ABY, the HoloNet news outlet Imperial HoloVision reported that political analysts anticipated that Emperor Palpatine would take action against Imperial-controlled planets plagued by constant unrest, such as Dakshee and Sappire.
Ultimately, at some point between 0 ABY and 4 ABY, an uprising occurred on Dakshee. The Empire's response involved unleashing terror upon the world. During the subjugation of Dakshee, the Empire initiated a bombardment of the planet, followed by widespread executions among the civilian population. The well-known actress Dana Meimonda was present on Dakshee when the Empire suppressed her [homeworld](/article/homeworld-legends]. Meimonda and her husband were among the few survivors of the massacre, and they both sought refuge on Esseles, the capital of the Darpa sector within the Core Worlds.
