Description
Nar Shaddaa, the largest of Nal Hutta’s moons, was originally deeded over to the Evocii. But as trade between Nal Hutta and the rest of the galaxy boomed, the Hutts used legal trickery to confiscate the Evocii’s holdings. The Evocii were used as cheap labor as Nar Shaddaa sprouted refueling spires reaching to orbit and its surface vanished beneath layer upon layer of docking towers, landing bays, cargo warehouses, and trading plazas. Within centuries Nar Shaddaa was a blaze of light in the skies of Nal Hutta, evidence of the Hutts’ wealth and power.
With the sundering of the original Ootmian Pabol, legitimate investors left Nar Shaddaa, replaced by smugglers, slavers, spice-jackers, gun runners, and assorted riffraff. Now known as the Smugglers’ Moon, Nar Shaddaa became infamous as a place where the only laws are the business end of a blaster and fear of the Hutts. The wise descend only as far into Nar Shaddaa’s maze of towers as their business demands; in its lower levels live the desperate, the forgotten, and the last mutated descendants of the luckless Evocii.
Nal Hutta and Nar Shaddaa were devastated by the Yuuzhan Vong. Bioweapons destroyed most of the inhabitants and disintegrated the world’s technology, after which the Vong began reshaping both worlds to their liking. But the Hutt worlds proved resilient, with Vong vegetation and fauna failing to thrive. Similar effects were seen on many worlds in Hutt Space, leading New Republic scientists to wonder if the Hutts had terraforming technology of their own—and smugglers to joke that once a place had been lived in by Hutts, nobody else could stand it. In the decades after the Vong invasion, the Hutts reclaimed both worlds as their own.
