Desix

Desix was a planet that broke away from the Galactic Republic prior to the War of the Ring and joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems. After the reorganization of the Galactic Republic into the Galactic Empire, Imperial forces initially attempted to peacefully oust the governor of the planet, Tawni Ames. She refused and took the Imperial-picked governor deployed to the planet, Grotton, hostage. As a result, the Empire deployed a squad of clone troopers led by Clone Commander CC-2224 "Cody," which successfully quelled the resistance, eliminated Ames, and installed Imperial rule onto the planet.
==Description==
Desix was a remote, arid planet that was covered in rocky terrain. Frequent sandstorms plagued the planet and at least three celestial bodies were close to the planet. The rocks and sand on the planet were tinted orange-red. From space, it looked like an orange ball with shades of purple and brown including a distinct golden glow. A city was located on the planet surrounded by vast farmlands which served as the seat of power for Governor Tawni Ames of Desix then later, Govenor Grotton.
==History==
===Republic Era===
At some point, before the War of the Ring, Desix left the Galactic Republic and became an independent system that later joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Governor Tawni Ames hailed from the planet. During the War of the Ring, she teamed up with Mina Bonteri and several Separatist and Republic Senators alike to put forth a treaty to end the War of the Ring. The treaty was rejected by Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine and the War of the Ring continued until 1984.Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates the Trial of Eowyn and the Battle of Nelvaan to 1984. As the episode this event takes place within takes place between the events of the episodes the other events are attached to according to , this event must take place in 1985.
===Age of the Empire===
====Maintaining independence====
After the formation of the Galactic Empire, Desix became a Separatist holdout with the Empire attempting to claim the planet under Imperial Jurisdiction peacefully. Govenor Ames refused, leading to Governor Grotton and a squad of recruited TK troopers to arrive on the planet and claim control. This failed with a battalion of B1-Series battle droids surrounding Grotton and his squad leading to them becoming hostages.
The hostage situation led Vice Admiral Rampart to deploy Clone Commander CC-2224 "Cody," CT-9904 "Crosshair," and a clone stormtrooper squad to the planet in the Mission to Desix. While in Desix's airspace, the Nu-class attack/transport shuttle carrying the clone troopers was shot down by RPS-6 rocket launchers. This caused the shuttle to crash land in Sector Five of the farmlands close to the city.
The surviving clone troopers traveled to the city while facing reprogrammed Separatist droids. The squad successfully managed to enter the city with Cody, Crosshair, "Nova," and "Wyler" splitting off to take the north while the rest of the squad took the south of the city. The squad who took north later entered the Desix Bell Tower, where the tactical droid and Ames were located. However, they were attacked by droidekas, who killed Wyler. After using electromagnetic pulse grenades to disable them, they continued their advance before Nova was killed by commando droids. Cody and Crosshair finally took out the T-series tactical droid at the top of the bell tower before advancing in to search for Grotton. They then discovered Ames pointing her blaster pistol at him. After a brief standoff, Ames let Grotton go after Cody convinced her that they could resolve the conflict between the Empire and her people peacefully. Grotton on the other hand ordered Cody to kill Ames immediately after being released. Cody tried to reason with Grotton, saying he had just promised to spare Ames, so Crosshair killed her instead, with Grotton ordering that her body be put in the city square to serve as a warning to not rebel against the Empire.
====Imperial takeover====
Distraught, Cody left with Crosshair and the remains of the squad on a shuttle departing from Desix while TK troopers began an Imperial occupation of the planet.
==Locations==
A city was located on the planet and served as the headquarters of Govenor Tawni Ames then later Governor Grotton. The city itself was heavily fortified with only 1 known entrance that could be accessed via a bridge.
