A lavish and extravagant gala, known as a hive ball, was an event hosted by the X'Ting society located on Ord Cestus. These grand celebrations served as a way to commemorate significant occasions or to honor esteemed guests. Notably, during the period of the Clone Wars, Regent G'Mai Duris organized a hive ball in order to pay tribute to the Galactic Republic envoys, specifically the Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, and the legal professional Barrister Doolb Snoil.
