On Coruscant there was a structure called the Weather Modulation Control Center Coruscant. This facility offered a vital community function, employing sophisticated systems to prevent hazardous weather events from developing on Coruscant. Without its operation, rainfall would be unhindered. Conversely, with a modification of its programming, the center's technology could direct thunderstorms as offensive measures against targeted locations, especially if the structures in those zones lacked proper shielding.
In the year 33 BBY, a criminal syndicate identified as The Flail made an attempt to seize control of the Weather Modulation Control Center, with plans to alter its programming and launch an attack on Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum. The Flail's efforts to breach the security measures proved unsuccessful.
