History

Nar Shaddaa is a moon that orbits the fictional planet of Nal Hutta in the Star Wars universe. It is the largest moon in the vicinity.

More commonly known as the Smuggler's Moon, Nar Shaddaa is similar to Coruscant in that its surface is entirely overgrown with city sprawl (an ecumenopolis).

When the Hutts left their homeworld of Varl, they displaced the Evocii, native to Nal Hutta, to Nar Shaddaa. Eventually the moon was annexed and the Hutts started building spaceports and docking bays across its surface, some stretching out into orbit. In between these ports, massive vertical cities grew. Like Coruscant, the lower levels fell into disrepair and became havens for the lowest lifeforms (particularly descendants of the Evocii) on the moon.

Over time, Nar Shaddaa went from a prosperous metropolis to a criminal haven, where anything illegal elsewhere was performed freely.

Twenty-some years ABY, Nar Shaddaa was destroyed by the Yuuzhan Vong.

Other Appearances

Nar Shaddaa plays a major role in the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight series of computer games. Every game in the series features a set of levels set inside Nar Shaddaa's vertical cities.

In Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords the Jedi Exile must travel to Nar Shaddaa to track down Jedi Master Zez-Kai Ell.
