The Central District existed as one of the districts within New Adasta, which was the capital of the world Ziost. Back in 3636 BBY, the ex-Sith Emperor known as Vitiate arrived on the planet. He then took control of numerous Imperials, manipulating them as puppets to commit acts of violence against the populace. Consequently, the Central District transformed into a major battleground prior to Vitiate's eradication of all life on Ziost.
