Gyndine was under the control of the Galactic Empire, with Moff Bin Essada of the Circarpous sector having offices on the world.

In 3 ABY, the Alliance's 61st Mobile Infantry led a campaign named Operation Ringbreaker against a number of minor Imperial resource hubs, with the final target being the Kuat Drive Yards, the primary producer and servicer of the Empire's Star Destroyers.Battlefront: Twilight Company The Alliance Intelligence vetted the campaign from afar, and as Operation Ringbreaker made early success, General Crix Madine made a galactic map of major Imperial shipyards, drydocks, and mining centers that could be targeted if the sabotage of Kuat Drive Yards was successful, sending it in an official document to Alliance Commander-in-Chief Mon Mothma. Gyndine was listed on the map, designated as a medium-production target with a high security level. However, Operation Ringbreaker was ultimately cut short. The map noting Gyndine was included in an archive of non-electronic documents called The Rebel Files by archivist Hendri Underholt.
In 5 ABY, a mole in the Pyke Syndicate criminal organization working for the New Republic, the Alliance's successor, reported to New Republic Intelligence that a badly damaged Imperial Quasar Fire-class cruiser carrier had gone to the Gyndine shipyards seeking assistance. The report was reviewed by New Republic Intelligence Agent Caern Adan and his colleague Yrica Quell, who were trying to track down the Empire's 204th Imperial Fighter Wing. Quell found the source reliable but felt that the information was insufficient for their goal and so marked the sighting with medium confidence on their sightings map.
