The Assembly Cupola[2] was a structure within Csaplar, the capital city of the Chiss Ascendancy homeworld Csilla. The Syndics of the Chiss Syndicure and Aristocra of the Chiss Nine Ruling Families met annually in the Cupola for important government meetings. Around 19 BBY,[3] the Syndics were in attendance of one such meeting, during which time Csilla was attacked by unknown assailants.[1]
