Hisseen's governing body was the parliament, which oversaw the planet Hisseen and was headed by a Hisseenian premier. As the Clone Wars unfolded in 22 BBY, Count Dooku of the Confederacy of Independent Systems orchestrated a meeting with the Hisseenian premier amidst his siege of the world. Obi-Wan Kenobi, a Jedi General within the Galactic Republic forces sent to defend Hisseen, worried that Dooku would be given the parliament members' whereabouts by the premier, leading to their assassination.
