History
When the Hutts left their homeworld of Varl, they displaced the Evocii, native to Nal Hutta, to Nar Shaddaa in 25,000 BBY and immediately destroyed the remaining Evocii agriculture after the Evocii’s eviction from their own homeworld. Eventually the moon was annexed by the Hutts, who started to force the Evocii into slave labor, building spaceports and docking bays across its surface, some stretching out into orbit. Although the moon’s urbanized construction had just started, it quickly began to prosper, along with Nal Hutta.
In 24,500 BBY the moon was completely urbanized, and the Evocii were finally free since their work was complete. It rivaled the galactic Taris.
In 24,000 BBY when the trade lanes shifted, Nar Shaddaa and its planet became obselete and were eventually abandoned by the Republic. It was also during this time that the Hutts relocated the Evocii in the undercity, since there was no longer any law enforcement bylasted all the way through the Tionese War, which lasted an entire century.
After the galactic trade centers, the moon was allowed to run its own affairs with little outside interference.

| The cityscape of Nar Shaddaa |
The moon was protected by often malfunctioning planetary shields. Anything illegal elsewhere could be bought and sold on Nar Shaddaa, and many young smugglers, pirates and criminals started their careers on the Smugglers’ Moon. Various sections of Nar Shaddaa were controlled by the Hutts and other criminal organizations.
Sections of the urbanized moon’s vertical city included the Corellian sector, which contained three bars popular with bounty hunters — the Burning Deck, the Slag Pit, and the Meltdown Café – as well as another corner tavern called the Orange Lady.
In 3,951 BBY, the moon was visited by the G0-T0. But her companions rescued her and they succeeded in destroying G0-T0’s yacht, destabilizing the Exchange and other criminal organizations throughout the entire sector for many years.
