Plett ' s Well Plett ' s Well , also called Plettwell or Plawal , was a community on the planet Belsavis . Characteristics . The city lay between the cliffs of red - black rock and during the New Republic era was run by Jevax , a Mluki . A thick , sulfur - smelling mist permeated the valley , and restricted visibility to just a few meters . The storm - lashed , ionized atmosphere of Belsavis made sensor probes and ship landings extremely difficult . Only one spot in the planet ' s southern hemisphere , the Corridor , was atmospherically stable . Smugglers made the Belsavis Run by coming in at the Corridor and skimming the ice to one of the illegal landing pads on the glaciers . Rock " benches " leading up to the cliff walls provided a narrow foundation for homes and orchards . Most buildings were constructed from prefabricated units , and crammed together on small lots due to the rift ' s enclosed area . Residences in the old city were constructed directly over warm springs . Plawal ' s main docking silos were connected by tunnels to the Port Offices and city at large — including the canneries , the Brathflen Corporation ' s Medcenter , Old Orchard Street , the seven main silk - packing plants , the MuniCenter , an import / export business on Pandowirtin Lane , and the Bubbling Mud cafe off Brandifert Court . Madame Lota ' s House of Flowers , a brothel , and seedy cantinas such as the Smoking Jets and the Jungle Lust lined Spaceport Row . A house on Painted Door Street opened onto Plawal ' s vast network of subterranean crypts . The crypts contained xylen chip s and gold wiring from the abandoned laboratories of Jedi Master Plett , and were guarded by forgotten , mind - controlled smugglers under the Force influence of Irek Ismaren . History . In 88 BBY , the Ho ' Din Jedi Master Plett built a house and laboratory in the Plawal Rift , that later served as a safe haven for the children and families of Jedi hiding from the Emperor ' s Great Jedi Purge . In 18 BBY , the Emperor Palpatine commissioned the battlemoon " Eye of Palpatine " to wipe out the Jedi enclave , but the ship never arrived . Palpatine ' s small backup force of interceptors bombed Plawal but were wiped out by Belsavis ' s Y - wings , and the Jedi departed for places unknown - - after erasing all knowledge of their presence from the inhabitants of the city . After their departure , Brathflen Corporation , Galactic Exotics , and Imperial Exports arrived to dome the valley and cultivate vine - coffee and vine - silk . Nubblyk the Slyte began blasting landing pads on the glaciers around this time , and the smuggling trade began in earnest . A small force of tariff police left by the region ' s Imperial Governor were little use against the smugglers . Brathflen built the first of the light - amplification domes over Plawal ( based on Plett ' s original design ) before the Battle of Yavin , and the three companies teamed with Kuat to install a central computer system . About a year after the Battle of Endor , the Slyte disappeared and was replaced by his associate Bran Kemple , which caused the Belsavian smuggling industry to dry up . In the same year , Roganda Ismaren ( one of the Emperor ' s Hand s ) came to Plawal . Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo visited Belsavis eight years after the Battle of Endor and uncovered a plot by Ismaren to forge a military alliance with the Senex Lords .
