Nar Shaddaa is the largest moon that orbits the planet of Nal Hutta in the fictional Star Wars Expanded Universe.
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.
Other appearances
Nar Shaddaa plays a major role in the series of computer games. Every game in the series, except , features at least one level set inside Nar Shaddaa's vertical cities. Jedi Academy does, however, include a mention of Nar Shaddaa which is the location of Lannik Racto's secret assassin droid factory.In the Jedi Exile travels to Nar Shaddaa to track down Jedi Master Zez-Kai Ell.
The fan film references the moon.
