Xizor's Palace

Xizor's Palace was an enormous building on Imperial Center that belonged to Prince Xizor.
==History==
The Farfalla skyscraper was demolished for the construction.Coruscant and the Core Worlds
Being Xizor's primary base of operations, he kept all his files on computers here.
In 3 ABY Guri brought Leia Organa and Chewbacca to meet Xizor, asking for information about the assassination attempts against Luke Skywalker. Xizor was the one who wanted Luke dead, and although at first he welcomed the pair, Chewbacca uncovered his sinister role. He managed to escape (something that Xizor intended) while Leia remained prisoner in an opulent bedroom.
Lando Calrissian, Dash Rendar, Chewbacca, and Luke Skywalker infiltrated the palace through the sewers of Coruscant in an effort to rescue Leia Organa. They made it up into the castle, and defeated several guards before being confronted by Xizor and Guri. Calrissian and Skywalker forced the duo to back down with several thermal detonators, threatening to set them off, destroying the palace.
Xizor retreated, but Calrissian dropped one of the explosives into a garbage chute that led down into the basement anyway. When it exploded, it destroyed the foundation of the building, sending it crumbling down to the surface. Xizor managed to escape in time, as did the heroes.
==Structure==
The Palace was located in an area of the Imperial Center, making both the Imperial Palace and Darth Vader's Palace accessible through protected corridors. According to Spero, it was so majestic that it was comparable to the Emperor's and Vader's structures in the cityscape.Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire novel 
It numbered 102 stories above ground; a landing pad extending out from level fifty. It had about a dozen levels below ground. The lower levels connected to the massive sewer system of the Imperial Center that had less security. It was not wired for surveillance and relied on guards' reports. Furthermore communication failures happened frequently in some dead spots, because of pipes, conduits and thick heavy durasteel beams, a problem the technicians could not resolve. However, drain sensors could report an invasion.
==Behind the scenes==
The 3d model of the Palace made for Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire video game incorporates various architectural styles such as a medieval fortress with gothic elements, and a "mystical, eastern look". Concept artist Paul Topolos was inspired by Ralph McQuarrie's concept painting of the interior of the Imperial Palace during production of , which however was not filmed.The Secrets of Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire
