Worlport Worlport was the capital of Ord Mantell , a shadowport in the galaxy ' s Mid Rim . A symbol of the planet ' s independence from the rest of the galaxy , Wolport ' s diverse citizens and visitors sought out the planet ' s famed casinos and illicit pleasure houses . Description . The coastal city of Worlport was a sprawling sea of round domes , elaborate facades , and obelisks that dotted every plaza . While the oldest portions of the city have an architecture that hearkens back to the first settlers from Corellia , the city is primarily known for its rotundas , colonnades , carved entablatures , and ornate spires . To the of the city ' s crumbling walls was the sandy coastline known as the Coral Coast , while just north was a wasteland known as the Scraplands that contained Ten Mile Plateau . Relatively safe , the streets of Worlport were not as dangerous as the more rural neighborhoods ; every private business employed their own security in place of a city wide military or patrol . Inhabited by a diverse number of alien species , no one species dominated the city , and was viewed by offworlders as being highly cosmopolitan . The many interconnected neighborhoods and districts that comprised Worlport were distinct and diverse , changing rapidly from the small community originally established on the site . While the architecture of the city is meticulously crafted , the city was poorly planned , with streets proving increasingly chaotic the further from the center of the city one moved . As more and more neighborhoods sprung up , buildings went unnumbered or marked , making it extremely difficult to navigate or find a destination . City center was usually considered to be Morro Spaceport , with the rest of the city spiraling outward like an oblong wheel . Named after one of the city ' s founders , the Spaceport was well - known throughout the Bright Jewel sector . The central government of Ord Mantell established itself within Government Circle . The center of the Circle was the location of the palatial Government House , home to the planetary governor and his family . Around the Government House stood administrative buildings , courthouses , and the Red House , Worlport ' s prison facility . Three gambling districts surrounded Morro Spaceport , each offering something a little bit different from the other . Herglic ' s Folly was the most dangerous of the three , with little security to keep the bar fights and brawls to a minimum . The Path of Coins was the largest and most visited gambling districts , as it stretched from Government Circle to the main gate of Morro Spaceport . Famed casinos such as the Lady Fate and Mugwaar ' s Palace were located on the border of Government Circle , and bustled with activity day and night . The Jewel District was home to the city ' s wealthiest residents and was heavily patrolled by private security groups . Well - planned cobblestone streets separate the mansions and palaces of the elite , and access gates comprised of a particle shield prevent undesirables from entering the area to cut down on crime . Invitation to enter was restricted and deadly force would be used to eliminate individuals trying to breach its walls . Named for the white uniforms and armor of the Republic military , the White Zone was the site of the Republic garrison . When the Galactic Empire came to power , the White Zone became home to a large garrison of stormtroopers who were sent out to patrol the city streets . Because of the encroachment of the Empire into the streets beyond the White Zone , the average citizen of the city had begun to develop a distaste for the Empire , making Worlport an apt recruitment ground for the Rebel Alliance . The Breakwater district was dominated by the maritime industry and made up the city ' s southern edge . Quays and warehouses lined the oceanic border and a scattering of lower - class neighborhoods butted up against the bulkheads . Merchant marines and fisherfolk vied for business in the Breakwater , while pleasure yachts set out to explore the vast ocean . The mercantile district , known as Killairn ' s Bazaar , hosted busy market days , during which nearly anything could be bought or sold . Ranging from slaves to weapons , from droids to drugs , the Bazaar was a busy place for black - and grey - market sales . Guides would vet potential buyers and lead them to unmarked stalls where unscrupulous merchants could fleece their clients . Between the Scraplands and the city , the Industrial District churned out the city ' s non - gambling commerce and provided many jobs for the working class citizens . Producing droids , weapons , and pharmaceuticals , the businesses in the Industrial District worked with little government oversight and churned out acrid smoke which contributed to the city ' s dense smog . History . Originally established as a small trading post when the Corellian settlers established a colony on behalf of the Galactic Republic , Worlport provided lodging and supplies to big game hunters , traders , and Republic agents working on the planet . Thriving by the sea , Worlport expanded as more and more Mantellians settled on the world , flourishing into one of the most profitable towns on the planet . As the millennia passed , Worlport became a city of crime and intrigue , as more and more cantinas popped up around open - air markets and hangars . During the height of the Republic ' s military presence on the world , Republic troops garrisoned nearby would visit the city and start brawls and fights as they stumbled drunk out of bars and fight clubs . Following the Republic ' s withdrawal from the planet during the Cold War with the Sith Empire , Worlport expanded exponentially , with law and order crumbling as the old Corellian spirit of freedom was thorough embraced . As the city became nearly unmanageable , the planetary government asserted its authority and quelled the anarchy , bringing Worlport back to a more manageable level of corruption . Near - lawless and always on the brink of total anarchy , Worlport was a prosperous city for the Republic during the Clone Wars , and was once more frequented by Republic troops with the establishment of the Grand Army of the Republic .
