The Upper Arts Sector was located on the planet Coruscant, situated three levels above an area near the Duros Blocks.[1] Around 19 BBY,[2] the spy Chemish Runazha began monitoring the "4040s"—a pro-Galactic Empire activist group—and participated in their Separatist Reintegration Day protests. That day, the spy traveled in a cargo speeder with several of the group's members through the Warehouse District and the Upper Arts Sector, with Runazha taking note of their location.[1]
Behind the scenes
The Upper Arts Sector was mentioned in the 2025 novel Reign of the Empire: The Mask of Fear, written by Alexander Freed as the first installment of the Star Wars: Reign of the Empire trilogy.[1]

Star Wars: Edge of the Abyss on Penguin Books' official United Kingdom website (backup link) establishes the events of Reign of the Empire: The Mask of Fear take place thirteen years before the events of Reign of the Empire: Edge of the Abyss. 
Rebecca Roanhorse (@rebeccaroanhorse) on Instagram (post): "Title and updated release date of my upcoming STAR WARS novel announced at SDCC. THE EDGE OF THE ABYSS takes place a year before Andor S1." (backup link) states that Edge of the Abyss takes place a year before the events of Andor Season 1, which are set in 5 BBY per the reasoning here. Therefore, the events of Edge of the Abyss must be set in 6 BBY, and the events of The Mask of Fear in 19 BBY.
