Nar Shaddaa

"It's an entire world of pirates and outlaws."

- Luke Skywalker

Nar Shaddaa, nicknamed the "Smuggler's Moon," was the notorious moon of the planet Nal Hutta, homeworld of the Hutt species. It was home to a large criminal underworld dominated by bounty hunters and Hutt crime lords. An ecumenopolis, the entire surface of Nar Shaddaa was covered in urban sprawl. It was the homeworld of the Palliduvan bounty hunter Aurra Sing, the Zabrak Jedi Master Eeth Koth, and the Jablogian slaver Azmorigan. One of its cities, Hutta Town, was ruled by Grakkus the Hutt.

However, Maul got into a brawl when the patrons thought he was a Jedi, but he was saved by a group of bounty hunters led by Cad Bane.
