- "Tach Drud ran a spice den out of a curio shop on Level 3321. The capture and interrogation of a spice-addled holo-star led law enforcement to Drud's shop in exchange for keeping the star's name out of the headlines."

Level 3321 was one of the 5,127 vertical levels of Galactic City, the ecumenopolis that covered the planet Coruscant. Although located beneath the surface, it was higher than the world's most dangerous levels, but housed a curio shop out of which the spice dealer Tach Drud ran a spice den during the reign of the Galactic Republic. In exchange for keeping their name out of the headlines, the Coruscant Security Force was led to the den by a spice-addled holo-star who it had captured and interrogated. By 7942 C.R.C., the law enforcement agency had an undercover probe in the den that captured a surveillance hologram of the clientele. Coruscant Security Force Inspector Tanivos Divo included the image and notes on the den in his case files. Divo's grandson, Exantor Divo, published the section mentioning Level 3321 in his book, Scum and Villainy: Case Files on the Galaxy's Most Notorious,[1] which was published in 34 ABY.[2]
Behind the scenes
Level 3321 was mentioned in the 2018 reference book Star Wars: Scum and Villainy: Case Files on the Galaxy's Most Notorious, which was written by Pablo Hidalgo and included an illustration of the level[1] by Brian Fajardo as part of Gunship Revolution.[3]

Therefore, 8011 C.R.C. must have been around 34 ABY. Scum and Villainy also mentions Hosnian Prime as still being capital of the New Republic, meaning the in-universe Scum and Villainy: Case Files on the Galaxy's Most Notorious must have been published prior to the destruction of the planet, which Star Wars: Timelines dates to 34 ABY. As the publishing must have occurred between the time of the latest entries and the destruction of Hosnian Prime, it therefore also took place around 34 ABY.
