This commercial center existed within Cuipernam, which served as the capital city for the planet Ansion. During the year 22 BBY, Jedi Master Luminara Unduli, Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi, along with their respective Padawans, Barriss Offee and Anakin Skywalker, conducted an investigation of this marketplace during the Mission to Ansion. While they were present in the marketplace, Offee was enticed into a store and subsequently drugged by Kyakhta and Bulgan, who were two clanless Ansionian males acting under the instructions of Soergg the Hutt. Soergg aimed to thwart the Jedi's objective, which was to guarantee that Ansion remained part of the Galactic Republic.
