Pau City/Legends

The settlement governed by Port Administrator Tion Medon, Pau City is a large sinkhole sanctuary plunging deep into the surface of Utapau. Serving as Utapau's spaceport, Pau City ushers the planet's few visitors into the depths of the sinkholes.



Pau City is built into the walls and cavities of one of Utapau's large sinkholes. Many kilometers wide and even more deep, the sinkhole is linked to neighbouring sanctuaries via deep canyons running between the natural depressions. The scrub-covered surface is unremarkable; life on Utapau flourishes underground.

When the Pau'ans joined the Utai underneath Utapau's surface following a planetary climate change, the two societies merged to form a single, hodge-podge civilization. The city encompasses the entire sinkhole, with structures littered across the inner walls, designed with varying styles of architecture. Pau City is divided into sectors; visitors are welcomed in the main spaceport, an area littered with landing platforms and docks. Residential and commercial areas are spread across the sinkhole, while Utai workers in the industrial regions forge elegant weapons and ornate machines for their Pau'an administrators.

Shortly before the Battle of Coruscant, General Grievous landed in the Pau City, demanding sanctuary for his forces. Tion Medon had no choice but to comply. Fortunately, the Jedi Council sent Master Obi-Wan Kenobi to destroy the Separatist Supreme Commander, and Tion was more than happy to accomodate him. Though initially wary of the Jedi, Tion offered his assistance to Obi-Wan. Though Pau City was briefly engulfed by war, Kenobi prevailed, and the menace of the Conferacy was lifted from Utapau.
