Point Nadir Point Nadir was a shadowport located on the comet Resh 9376 in the Outer Rim . It was formally established by the Anjiliac clan built on the remains of a base constructed by the pirate captain Salovan Fische . It was the headquarters for the criminal syndicates , Epsis and Sable Dawn . History . Point Nadir was originally constructed as the base of operations for the Corellian pirate captain Salovan Fische . Fische had discovered the long - forgotten comet surveyed hundreds of years prior by astronomers from Corellia . Over more than ten years , Fische and his pirate gang constructed a very rudimentary facility within the small underground caverns within the comet . After a run of bad luck and demoralizing living conditions , Fische ' s gang betrayed and marooned him on the rock to die a hermit . The pirates then turned around and sold the location of their established base to the Anjiliac Hutt clan who showed interest in Resh 9376 , given the potential of an already established base located there . However , exploiting the data was low on their list of priorities , and was not acted on until nearly a century later . The Hutts took advantage of the large amount of work accomplished by the mining droid s and equipment that had continued working after Fische ' s death , until they shut down due to overwork and no maintenance . Using their vast wealth and resources , they were able to take Fische ' s rudimentary complex and build it into a central hub for several criminal organizations . Point Nadir was cloaked in secrecy and those who know of its location either paid for the information from the Ajiliac kajidic , the " de facto " rulers of the shadowport , or had been invited by one of the two other governing criminal organizations . All ships that approached the comet were recorded and cataloged by Point Nadir traffic control . Those that were authorized to land followed a strict approach vector and flight path . Those ships that failed to adhere to the established flight pattern were ordered to stand down and were questioned about their purpose , often at gunpoint by an Anjiliac boarding party . Any vessel that failed to yield to the orders of a flight controller was given a single warning , after which they were intercepted by defense fighters which rarely returned without destroying their target . Government . The shadowport was governed by a triumvirate made up of three loosely - aligned criminal syndicates . The primary rulers were the Anjiliac clan of the Hutts , who had built Point Nadir on the groundwork laid by Salovan Fische . The other two organizations , a group of assassins called Sable Dawn , and a group of black marketeers , money launderers , and slicers known as Epsis , were always jockeying for more control over the Point Nadir . With their high - tech holding , Epsis had a stranglehold on all access to the HoloNet , which gave them their status as the second - largest group of Point Nadir ' s governing bodies . Sable Dawn , while small in number , still held sway in governing due to their shadowy presence throughout the Outer Rim , dealing in political assassinations and espionage . The Anjiliac kajidic was the leading group of the triumvirate due to their wealth and influence as the founders of the Point Nadir itself . Layout . Those allowed to dock at Point Nadir followed a landing beacon that led them through what was locally known as the " Jackrab Hole " , a 500 meter diameter , winding tunnel leading to the interior of the comet . The Jackrab Hole opened into Fische ' s Cove , an immense cavern used for docking and berthing of ships . To the right and left were areas known as the " Tethers " , the most inexpensive places to dock before entering the port . Fische ' s Cove encompassed the anterior half of the comet ' s carved - out interior . The Slips were the luxury docking berths that separated Fische ' s Cove from the rest of Point Nadir . The rest of the city was laid out much like any other spaceport town . There were neighborhoods and districts for all walks of life , from the poorest to the exceedingly wealthy . The Fissure District was the slums of the shadowport , located at the opposite end from Fische ' s Cove . It housed the poorest of Point Nadir ' s denizens . It separated the city proper from the mines which were ruled off - limits by the government . Nest was the area that housed mercenaries and thugs . Fire fights and brawls were not an uncommon sight in this neighborhood . The Ministry Precinct was the seat of local government , such as it was . It maintained the best living conditions , air quality and security of anywhere in the shadowport . Business was conducted in either the Trade District or Salovan ' s Souk . Where as the Trade District contained permanent businesses that maintained a permanent presence , Salovan ' s Souk , sometimes called simply " the Souk " , was the centralized marketplace of Point Nadir . Laid out like a bazaar , the Souk was cramped and crowded as opposed to the Trade District which had wide , straight and clean streets . The Arcade was home to the cantinas and casinos of Point Nadir . Some of the more well cantinas were The Cruelest Cut , Fische ' s Pub and Under the Table . The two casinos had the opportunity for any gambling needs a being might fancy . The Crown Court was the place to go for betting on all sporting events , from shockboxing to podracing . Lucky ' s focused more on card and dice games , such as sabacc , and was also well known for serving excellent food . The Utility Ward contained the machinery necessary to keep Point Nadir running . Enormous power generators , gravity generators and life support systems were all housed and maintained in this area , located behind the Ministry District . Though formally under the control of the Anjiliac kajidic , several Epsis technicians were also employed here . It was the most heavily defended area after the Ministry District .
