Nar Haaska

Nar Haaska was a shadowport on the border of Hutt Space and the Outer Rim Territories. At some point by 10 BBY, Bandit Billie and her crew of shipjackers accosted the space yacht of the crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure, the Star Jewel, while it was on a layover on Nar Haaska. The theft attempt was thwarted, and the yacht subsequently changed course for a repair yard at Keldooine.

Description

Nar Haaska was a terrestrial astronomical object^[4] located in the Nar Haaska system,^[3] on the Outer Rim Territories' border of Hutt Space,^[1] a part of the Slice.^[2] It was also situated in the grid square T-11 of the Standard Galactic Grid.^[1]

History

By the time of the reign of the Galactic Empire, Nar Haaska was a shadowport. The pirate queen Maz Kanata marked its position on a galactic map included in the logbook that eventually came to be known as the Smuggler's Guide.^[4] At some point by 10 BBY,^[5] the Star Jewel, the space yacht of the crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure, made a stop at Nar Haaska. During the layover, the shipjacker Bandit Billie and her Taurill crew accosted the vessel, but their actions only resulted in slight damage to the yacht's landing gear and hull plating at the cost of wounds inflicted upon Billie by a Gamorrean vibroax. Bib Fortuna, Jabba's majordomo, eventually gained possession of the Smuggler's Guide from the would-be thief, and after changing the course of the Star Jewel to a repair bay at the celestial body Keldooine, Fortuna recorded the encounter on Nar Haaska in the book.^[4]

At one point no earlier than 5 ABY,^[6] the human archaeologist Doctor Chelli Aphra and the modified power droid Deegee-Aytseven visited a structure on Nar Haaska where a starship was parked and which another vessel flew over. The visit, during which Aphra conversed with a human servicing the parked ship, was part of the archaeologist and the droid's mission on behalf of the New Republic's Department of Artifacts and Archival Goods Retrieval to find the slicer Dellen Aphra, with whom the New Republic had lost contact. Ultimately the duo traveled offworld in their search.^[7]
