The Five Families of Cestus Cybernetics were a group of five politically influential families residing on the world of Ord Cestus. After the population of the X'Ting diminished, these families assumed control of the planet, granting any single member the ability to reject any proposed business deal on the planet.
Their demise occurred when ARC Trooper A-98 gave his life by broadcasting his precise coordinates from inside their secure, personal bunker to Republic ships positioned in orbit. These ships then opened fire, obliterating the bunker. Subsequently, a planetary regent was appointed to succeed them.
