In 8 ABY, soldiers of the New Republic launched an assault on the Ministry. The Ministry of Technology served as the central base of operations for the Devisors, who governed the planet of Exocron. This structure resembled a towering castle, featuring interconnected towers and ramparts. An astronomical observatory was integrated into its design, enabling the Devisors to pursue their studies of the cosmos. The Ministry was heavily fortified, protected by both vigilant watchtowers and mobile patrols.
Within the Ministry's walls were vast collections of data-tapes and records related to space travel and navigational techniques, all seized from the Exocros Cabal. Furthermore, the building functioned as a storage facility for advanced weaponry and technological devices, including Pagda Gevtes' personal walker.
During 8 ABY, the Ministry became the target of an invasion by New Republic forces. Their objective was to free their commanding officer, Captain Kaiya Adrimetrum, who was being detained inside the building.
