Arandonti Ravine

"This part of town is definitely not my kind of town."

- C-3PO lands in the Arandonti Ravine

The Arandonti Ravine was a gap between building blocks in the ecumenopolis that covered the surface of the planet Coruscant. It was situated south west of the planet's Federal District and during the Clone Wars housed Ziro's Palace, a nightclub run by the crime lord Ziro Desilijic Tiure that was anchored into one of the ravine's walls.

In 22 BBY, Senator Padmé Amidala piloted her J-type Naboo star skiff through the ravine and landed upon the landing pad outside Ziro's Palace in order to visit him and ask for his aid. After Amidala was captured by Ziro, her protocol droid C-3PO traveled through the ravine with Clone Commander CC-1010 and a squad of Coruscant Guard clone troopers on board the senator's H-type Nubian yacht, landing on the same pad Amidala had and then raiding the palace, arresting Ziro and rescuing Amidala.
