Coruscant underworld/Legends



The Coruscant Underworld or more properly, the Coruscant Underlevels, was the lowest region of the city-dominated, galactic-capital world of Coruscant. Most of the Underlevels rested more than a kilometer below the urban surface and city platforms. It is beneath some of the greatest skyscrapers in the Galaxy and other closely-spaced spectacular buildings of Coruscant where few rays of light filtered through to the gloomy section known as the Underworld.

In the age of the Old Republic, while the wealth and marvel of Coruscant gleamed on its exterior level, the Underworld below served as a refuge for scum, petty crooks, as well as drug dealers, the poor gone bad, and other outlaws. Seedy nightclubs, overlooked gambling corners, and trashy cantinas were actually areas of some of the higher sections of these run-down netherlevels. One place as dangerous as it was popular in the Underlevels was the Uscru Entertainment District with such hangouts as the Outlander Club and the Snapping Septoid.

The once-famous criminal orginization called Black Sun had many allies working in the Coruscant Underworld including none other than District Mayor Acros-Krik.

The lowest levels of the Underworld had such an unbelievable crime rate, that many areas were locked down by order of the government in poor communities of desperate beggars and violent people who could go about attacking each other in neighbor units which were isolated from the rest of society by enormous, impenetrable blast doors.

Queen Amidala of Naboo and her head of security, Captain Panaka, got to see the the Underworld first hand when she was taken hostage by mercenaries during her visit to Coruscant. Panaka was given access to one of the locked-down commuinities where the Queen had been taken to by holding the door-operator, an intellectual government agent, at gunpoint. Once rescuing Queen Amidala and killing much scum and hostiles alike, Panaka re-opened the verbally-accessible blast doors by giving the passcode phrase "Coruscant has lovely sunsets".
