Description:
Beneath the glittering chrome and neon of Nar Shaddaa's upper cityscape lies a different world: the Undercity. Plunging deep below the towering structures, this labyrinthine network of tunnels, workshops, and forgotten spaces harbors a grittier, more primal side of the Smuggler's Moon.
Industry:
The Undercity's lifeblood is the Hutt Cartel's shipyards. Here, under the watchful eyes of Hutt overseers and droid taskmasters, countless laborers toil day and night, constructing starships for criminals and cartels alike. The air hums with the constant clang of metal, the hiss of welding torches, and the rhythmic thrum of machinery.
Atmosphere:
The Undercity is a place of stark contrasts. The cacophony of the shipyards can give way to eerie silence in forgotten tunnels. Darkness reigns, broken only by flickering lamps and the occasional bioluminescent fungi. While danger lurks around every corner, so too does opportunity. Smugglers find hidden lairs, bounty hunters track their quarry, and lost souls find a strange sense of belonging in this underworld haven.
The Undercity has been built up over the millennia due to the constant vertical growth of Nar Shaddaa’s cities. The lower levels have been continually relegated to serve as housing for the least fortunate and as a dumping ground for the toxic refuse that the upper levels produce. While this is a common practice among ecumenopoleis like Taris and Coruscant, the lack of laws and regulations on Nar Shaddaa made the Undercity an even worse environment than that on other worlds. - Historian MaLA
