A hub was one of several hubs for game hunters around the equatorial forests of the planet Ryloth. It contained a tourist multiplex and a bar. At some point no earlier than 379 BBY, the Evereni pirate leader Marda Ro visited the hub during her quest for others of her species and met a fellow Evereni going by the alias "Isren" in the bar. Later, Ro mentioned the hub in a message she recorded for her descendants, to which her great-great-grandson Marchion Ro had listened by 252 BBY.

Marda Ro—the Evereni founder of a group of pirates who would eventually become the Nihil—visited the hub during herThe High Republic: Temptation of the Force search for others of her species after hearing rumors about an Evereni hunting creatures known as lyleks in Ryloth's equatorial forests. After arriving, Ro booked a room at one of the tourist multiplexes and began looking for leads. She attempted to get information on the Evereni from expedition groups and safari guides.
Having no success, she visited a bar in the hub, where she eventually spotted an aged Evereni. She approached him and he introduced himself with the alias "Isren"—a word in the Evereni language meaning "old uncle." At Ro's request, Isren taught her about the Evereni and their culture. Despite Ro's insistence that Isren join her, he refused and the two parted ways. Later, Ro mentioned the hub in a message she recorded for her descendants.
