Market Row was a corridor built within Cloud City on the planet Bespin . Located on the city ' s 121st level , a part of the Port Town district , the corridor was almost seven kilometers long and about one hundred meters wide , with a ceiling high enough for small starships to fly under . It connected the outermost edge of city to the central shaft , with both ends sealed by massive hatches . Several chambers were also connected to the corridor . History . The corridor was originally used by remote - control operated droids and maintenance starships to reach the internal spaces of Cloud City . This useage eventually came to an end however , and by the time of the Galactic Civil War between the Alliance to Restore the Republic and the Galactic Empire , the corridor had been converted into a busy market place . The row was considered the best place to buy and sell in all of Port Town , in both legal or illegal goods . A constantly shifting arrangement of stalls , vendors , food carts and illegally parked starships filled the space and its surrounding chambers , selling a large variety of goods to those that passed through . During the civil war , these included everything from weaponry , as sold by the Wookiee gunsmith Rowralorr , to exotic pets and food animals , which were available at the Hatchery run by Tezli Odo . Bothawui Jewellers was a jeweling business which was run by the Bothan couple Henna and Cidri out of the back of a JumpMaster 5000 starship during this time , and Hobi Rann ' s Fine Imported Goods provided cheap and colorful imports from all across the galaxy . While the corridor functioned as a market , the internal hatch leading to the central shaft was kept closed at all times , but the external hatch was kept open . This was to allow an Ugnaught work crew responsible for the corridor in and out , although they shut the hatch in times of dangerous weather . This hatch allowed starships to still enter the market , although they were advised to fly slowly once inside . While the corridor functioned as a market during the civil war , the Pantoran Arend Shen hired a group of spacers to pull off a heist for him within Cloud City , and arranged for his daughter Aris Shen to rendezvous with them in Market Row . Aris made her way to the market , but was followed by a group of thugs working for her husband , the local crime lord Vorse Tabarith . Once she found the spacers at rendezvous point they had agreed on , she asked them to help her lose the thugs without drawing her pursuers ' attention . The spacers successfully aided Aris in escaping the thugs , who were lead by the Lutrillian Bhurra . Behind the scenes .

The book gives a number of options as to how players can help Aris escape , and this article makes no assumption as to which was chosen . The article does assume however , that the players were successful in helping her .
