Guide: Nar Shaddaa
Contents
[hide]Districts
The districts of Nar Shaddaa are as varied as the people and creatures who visit and live there. It's important to remember that these districts are ICly massive; covering the whole moon with their size combined. Thus, while travel from one district to another is OOCly swift via the Taxi room, IC travel would be like taking a high-speed rail train between entire states: fast yet still giving a sense of scale.
It is also important to keep in mind that Nar Shaddaa is built much like Coruscant, with richer levels near the top and poorer towards the bottom. Therefore, you are going to see more glitz and neon lights at the main levels whereas below is darker, wetter, and dirtier.
Dawnrise (Crimson Dawn)
Formerly known as Parmac/Starport District, this district is now owned and run by the Crimson Dawn organization, and they make no secret of this. Crimson Dawn security patrols the streets upholding the 'law', but also turning a blind eye to certain activities so long as it greases the right palms. It also holds, hands down, the busiest starport on Nar Shaddaa, the Auction House (where the cargo terminal is), and the Bounty Hunters Guild. This is often the first district anyone visiting Nar Shaddaa sees and it leaves an impact.

Accommodations
15,000 | The Rack | Spaceport Spiral Ramp, Dawnrise District | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Located quite literally in the busiest starport on Nar Shaddaa, The Rack boasts convenient location with unbeatable pricing. A far, far cry from Chance Castle, it is right next to a lot of amenities so long as one doesn't mind the constant noise pollution as well as unending foot traffic. |
75,000 | Dawnrise Tower | Landing A, Dawnrise District | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Beyond the starport of the Dawnrise District is a tall tower of mansion-like proportions. Dawnrise Tower has it all: casino, restaurant, entertaining venue, security, and sprawling views. At the top are penthouses waiting for the wealthy to hob-nob with elites and spacers alike. |
Corellian (CorSec)
With the highest concentration of residences and a CorSec presence, the Corellian District is considered one of the safest on Nar Shaddaa. That isn't to say it's safe. There is still plenty of crime and strife to be found, but it is all painted under the rouge of oppressively bright neon lights. It boasts the largest concentration of entertainment venues such as the notable Chance Castle, but also a slum neighborhood featuring the Lost Circus and Explorer's Guild Outpost. If you're looking for something, anything, on Nar, this District should be the first stop.

- Entertainment Plaza

Accommodations
15,000 | Noddreck's | Lehtera Street Slums, Corellian District | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Looking for a place that is unseemly, affordable, yet in a district where the air is breathable? Look no further than Noddreck's. Broken down and filled with riff-raff, this is the slummiest apartment building in the Corellian District. It's still a significant step up from the slummiest of slums. |
17,000 | Smuggler's Flat | Knuckle Street, Corellian District | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
For just a few thousand more credits, one can upgrade to the Smuggler's Flat which is located right next to the busy taxi station of the Corellian District. This is a popular building for those who travel a lot and wish to be near the action without breaking the bank. |
35,000 | Bel Iblis | Shovani Stretch, Corellian District | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Located in a neighborhood of the Corellian District that caters to residential amenities, Bel Iblis is a comfortable apartment building with modest space, a welcoming lobby, and a rooftop terrace complete with small fire pit open for resident use. |
50,000 | Dacon Tower | Breezewalk Blocks, Corellian District | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
If one is looking for luxury but doesn't care much for the bustle of the Corellian District's more congested neighborhoods, Dacon is what they seek. With an awe-inspiring lobby, rooftop garden, and impressive views, those who live at Dacon often want for little. (Penthouses are 75,000) |
60,000 | Chance Castle Hotel | Entertainment Plaza, Corellian District | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Right smack in the heart of it all, Chance Castle Hotel is for those who live it up all the time, every time. Central to the Entertainment Plaza, this fifty-story building has a casino, a theater, and is surrounded by every venue all within walking distance. |
20,000 | Lost Circus Campsite | Lehtera Street Slums, Corellian District | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
In the slums of Corellia is a permanent circus venue. It is here that entertainers of all kinds seek to dazzle, amaze, or even frighten. And these vagabonds and bohemians have a campsite set aside for privacy and relaxation. Good for anyone who wishes to run away to the circus. |
Gearhead (Lawless)
Noteworthy for being the industrial district, Gearhead is stacked upon itself and built into craggy cliff sides. Places of respite are found at the upper levels but glamor is completely absent. What is here, instead, are factories and warehouses that employ hundreds of thousands of the working class who toil in the soot, grime, and smoke. Those who thrive here do so by their own grit and determination, and the only security to be found are privately funded entities. Any business wanting a foothold in the Outer Rim will have a location in Gearhead as a headquarters of export.
Notable Hotspots
- Rigging Zone Spaceport
- Crude Targets Mods
- Filthy Armors
- Blast Zone Exotic Arms
- Droids and Cybernetics
- Industrial Street
- Shug Ninx's Spacebarn
- Discount Salvage Depot
- Nordoxicon Inc
Accommodations
20,000 | Warehouse 94 | Industrial Street, Gearhead District | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
One of many warehouses converted into lofts, Warehouse 94 is comfortable yet efficient. Catering to the working class, these lofts are some of the most spacious apartments one can find for such a considerably low price. Rent helps pay for the private security, as well. |
Hutt District (Hutt)
It will come as no surprise that the Hutt District is as rich as it is slimy. Those looking to do business in the Y'toub star system will find themselves in the Hutt District seeking audience with one of the five Hutt Lords that reside here. Others come to the district for the endless options of vice and sin that it has to offer. Massive domes cover important parts of the District, keeping protected from the storms of acid rain making the Hutt District a place of excess and privilege while also being the beating heart of crime rings and organizations.
Notable Hotspots
- Hutt District Starport
- Jeweled Plaza
- Poodoocha Prizes Casino
- Smuggler's Den
- Pit Fighters Palace
- Twi'Lick Nightclub
- Sith Empire Outpost
- Pateesa Information Center
- Hutt Lord Palaces
Accommodations
150,000 | Private Villas | Chockta Villas Dome, Hutt District | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Limited and extremely sought-after, the private villas of the Hutt District are a cut above the rest. Those close to the Cartel or who consider themselves movers and shakers in the underground would do well to have a piece of this real estate to showcase their power and influence. |
New Vertica (Hutt)
One for the newest and cleanest parts of Nar Shaddaa, New Vertica is not built outwards so much as upwards. The district is literally the highest of living, built above it all like a floating land that lords its wealth over the masses. To live or even exist in New Vertica requires swathes of disposable income which attracts those with money and reputation to come and flaunt their station. It is kept clean and orderly and the only crime to be found here is that of white-collar business deals and political maneuvering: its own kind of sleaze dressed up in finery.
Notable Hotspots
- Neon Heights Starport
- Promenade of Lights
- Galleria Plaza
- Smoke and Glass Lounge
- Pinnacle Outfitters
- First Commerce Bank Vaults
- Dragonsnake Casino
- New Vertica Amphitheater
- Cobbled Gardens
Accommodations
100,000 | Gilded Spire | Cobbled Gardens, New Vertica District | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Is it any wonder that New Vertica has some of the most expensive locations on the Smuggler's Moon? These penthouses within the spire take up a floor each with gardens filling in every few floors. This is the cleanest, safest, most luxurious piece of real estate. |
Ko Hentota (Lawless)
Far, far below the multi-levels of Nar Shadda is a place of darkness and despair. Ko Hentota is for those forgotten by society or those wishing to be forgotten. There is no security here--not even private guards--and the air is so thick with pollution and sewage that air respirators are a luxury that will get someone mugged. The desperate, hardened, and corrupt call this place home where the Black Market has permanent stalls and housing is built out of crashed freighters. Natural light rarely makes it this far down and the denizens tend to prefer it that way.
Notable Hotspots
- Shady Clinic
- Sweatshop Fighting Pit
- Night Market
- Ammunition Depot
- The Wreck Hostel
- Exotic Acquisitions Pet Shop
- Trash Strewn Alley
- Forgotten Undercity
- The Grot Fishing Hole
Accommodations
10,000 | Huchaspu Housing Projects | Central Hub, Ko Hentota District | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
The lowest of the low without living in a cardboard box, Huchaspu Housing Projects is riddled with infestations, broken doors, and destitution. It also serves as a great place to lay low as no one ever goes into Ko Hentota looking for anyone. Not if they're smart. |
????? | The Wreck Cockpit/Crew Quarters | The Night Market, Ko Hentota District | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
The Wreck in Ko Hentota is more of a hostel. This is where someone who has nowhere else to go can sleep for the night with some sense of security. (Cost is purely RPed. Feel free to use, but keep in mind these are PUBLIC rooms. Act accordingly.) |
Shadowgate Prison (Widow Securities)
There is a district only spoken of that is more of a fortress than a district. The smallest of the territories, it is also the most harrowing. Shadowgate Prison is where heavily armed droids on patrol are quick to shoot and never ask questions. Prisoners from all over the galaxy find themselves here, left to toil away at one of the many workhouses and detention centers with little hope of escape. Visitors wishing to see a prisoner must go through rigorous screening in this authoritarian dystopia. This is not a place anyone wants to end up in.
