Nar Shaddaa

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

- Luke Skywalker

Nar Shaddaa, nicknamed the "Smuggler's Moon," was a notorious moon that 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 near-human 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.

Galactic Republic
Prior to the invasion of Naboo, the Sith apprentice, Darth Maul went to a bar on Nar Shaddaa. There, he tried to get information on Xev Xrexus's Cartel's auction of Eldra Kaitis. However, Maul then got into a brawl when the patrons thought he was Jedi. He was then saved by a group of bounty hunters led by Cad Bane.

Galactic Empire
During the Galactic Civil War in 0 ABY, Luke Skywalker went to Nar Shaddaa seeking a means to enter the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. There, he was captured by Grakkus the Hutt and forced to fight in gladiatorial combat. However, he was able to escape due to the timely arrival of a force of stormtroopers hostile to Grakkus.
