Corellian Sector ( Nar Shaddaa ) The Corellian Sector was a high - rise district located on the moon Nar Shaddaa . Casinos and trendy hotspots such as the Meltdown Café attracted patrons from all walks of life . This sector housed many public merchant areas and an ill - kept warehouse district located along the perimeter of an expansive thoroughfare . The most profitable enterprise found in this region was the gambling industry . The entire city reeked of refuse and debris as repulsorlift garbage scows floated from level to level collecting garbage . The Sector could be reached by a secret tunnel entrance from the Duros Sector . Culture . Though dominated politically and economically by the Hutts and Corellian - descended Humans , people of many species lived in the Corellian Sector . One of the more populated habitats within the Corellian Sector was the public housing area and the machine shops atop Level 88 . Outlaw tech Shug Ninx and his assistant Warb maintained their own repair workshop in this area and bartered for everything from power couplings for YT - 1300 light freighters to heavy - duty hull plating for Starjammer - IZX fast freight hauler s . Crime was abundant in the Corellian Sector , but the authorities at Corellian Port Control largely ignored the smaller offenses and partially encouraged the occasional bounty killing . Professional hunters such as Boba Fett and Dengar were able to find easy work tracking down wanted criminals throughout the various city - levels . Smuggler and future hero of the Galactic Alliance Han Solo lived for many years in the grease spattered streets of the Corellian Sector . The Rodian bounty hunter Greedo and his family , members of the Tetsu Clan who had fled Rodia ' s clan wars , also lived in Level 88 . History . Old Republic Era . During the Cold War , the sector was controlled by several criminal organizations including the Krayt Gang , the Shadow Syndicate , and the Exchange , which dominated the sector and ran a massive spice - refinement operation out of the lower levels . This expansion prompted a hostile response from the Shadow Syndicate , leading to increased violence and ultimately the death of Ukabi , the Exchange ' s boss on Nar Shaddaa Both the Republic Strategic Information Service and Imperial Intelligence operated listening posts in the district . The district was the location of much pro - Republic sentiment during the war as many Republic veterans retired there . Rebellion Era . In 1 BBY , this region became the focus of a major clash between the soldiers of the Galactic Empire and the freedom fighters of the Rebel Alliance . The Rebels had managed to insert covert Rebel SpecForce operatives into the ranks of Corellian Port Control . Through these agents , they were able to smuggle high - end munitions out of the district inside of sealed packing crates . In the dead of night , pilots would fly the weapons off - world in the cargo bays of huge CR90 corvettes . Two bounty hunters , Spurch Goa and Dyyz Nataz , learned of these operations from Greedo and sold the information to the Empire . As a result , Darth Vader sent two camouflaged " Gamma " - class Assault Shuttles to the Corellian Sector to raze the district . SpecForce operative Spane Covis recognized the disguised freighters and alerted the Rebel commandos . Imperial stormtroopers disembarked from the shuttles and engaged in a firefight with twenty Rebel soldiers . The Rebels managed to fight off the Imperials with a C4 - CZN ion field gun . Despite the temporary victory , a large portion of the Corellian Sector was destroyed when a second wave of Imperials arrived . An entire quarter collapsed , taking out some twenty levels . Level 88 , home to Greedo ' s family , was one of the areas devastated in the attack , though Greedo himself escaped to the planet Tatooine with Goa and Nataz . New Republic Era . In 10 ABY , Han Solo and his wife Leia Organa Solo visited the Corellian Sector on a mission to contact his old smuggling associates and gain access to the Imperial fortress world of Byss . During this visit , Organa Solo met the aged Jedi Vima - Da - Boda , who gave her a lightsaber . After the Solos , Salla Zend , and Shug Ninx escaped from the bounty hunters Boba Fett and Dengar . Afterward , the Solos and their associates returned to the Corellian Sector to meet with Vima - Da - Boda again . As they left with her , they escaped a group of bounty hunters ( including a group of Gank killers and , once again , Boba Fett ) , and destroyed the " Imperial " - class Star Destroyer commanded by Zasm Katth and Baddon Fass by crashing it into the moon ' s surface .
