Upper City

The Upper City was one of the metropoles that covered the city world Taris approximately 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. It was inhabited by the priveledged classes of Taris. It was comprised of the towering skyscrapers that dominated the planet's landscape.

Access to the Upper City was restricted to Humans, although notable non-humans found in the Upper City included a Twi'lek droid merchant Janice Nall, Ajuur the Hutt and a Rodian duelist Twitch. The Upper City featured a cantina, which was famous for its dueling ring owned by Ajuur the Hutt, and Zelka Forn's medical facility, which was famous for being able to heal all diseases but the infamous rakghoul disease.

During the Jedi Civil War, a Sith military base was also established in the Upper City, and its roads were heavily patrolled by Sith troopers. The Upper City was destroyed when the Sith fleet under Saul Karath's mighty Leviathan bombarded Taris from orbit.
