During the Galactic Civil War, subsequent to the Dentaal Uprising which occurred in 0 ABY, the planet of Dakshee experienced an uprising that the Galactic Empire brutally suppressed.
The noted actress Dana Meimonda was on Dakshee as her homeworld was being conquered. She managed to survive the slaughter and later became a spy working for the Rebel Alliance stationed on Esseles.
During the Imperial Period, the Galactic Empire maintained control over the planet of Dakshee, the capital of the Barma sector within the Colonies for an extended time. However, the planet was a constant source of trouble, plagued by persistent rebelliousness, making it a problematic holding for the Empire.
In the early years of the Galactic Civil War, the Rebel Alliance used a hidden base in the nearby AX system to transmit propaganda to the restive population of Dakshee.
When the Dentaal Uprising began in 0 ABY, Imperial HoloVision, the HoloNet news outlet, reported that political analysts anticipated that Emperor Palpatine would take action against Imperial-controlled planets experiencing constant unrest, such as Dakshee and Sappire.
Sometime between 0 ABY and 4 ABY, an uprising eventually broke out on Dakshee.
The Empire's response to the uprising was to unleash terror upon the planet. In the process of subjugating Dakshee, the Empire began with orbital bombardments, followed by widespread executions of civilians.
The actress Dana Meimonda was on Dakshee as the Empire conquered her homeworld. Meimonda, along with her husband, was among a small number of people who managed to survive the slaughter, escaping to Esseles, the capital of the Darpa sector located within the Core Worlds.
After escaping the subjugation of Dakshee, Meimonda became a Rebel spy on Esseles. Disguised as a socialite and entertainer, she toured Imperial facilities on Esseles, performing for the troops stationed there. She became a valuable source of intelligence regarding troop movements and played a crucial role in the downfall of Griff Takel, the governor of Esseles, and Jander Graffe, the Moff of the Darpa sector.
Following the death of Emperor Palpatine at the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY, Meimonda publicly declared her loyalty to the New Republic and became a significant figure in boosting morale.
