Kessendra was the capital of Kessel. A year after the death of Palpatine at Endor, the Central Committee of Grand Moffs and the Supreme Slave Lord Trioculus used Kessendra as a staging ground for their attempted takeover of the Galactic Empire. Locations in Kessendra included Kessendra Stadium, Spice Mines Avenue and Slave Lord Boulevard. By 11 ABY, Kessendra was mostly abandoned, and the few residents remaining were evacuated by the New Republic.
