More commonly known as the Smuggler's Moon, Nar Shaddaa is similar to Coruscant in that its surface is entirely overgrown with city sprawl (an ecumenopolis).

When the Hutts left their homeworld of Varl, they displaced the Evocii, native to Nal Hutta, to Nar Shaddaa. Eventually the moon was annexed and the Hutts started building spaceports and docking bays across its surface, some stretching out into orbit. In between these ports, massive vertical cities grew. Like Coruscant, the lower levels fell into disrepair and became havens for the lowest lifeforms (particularly descendants of the Evocii) on the moon.

Over time, Nar Shaddaa went from a prosperous metropolis to a criminal haven, where anything illegal elsewhere was performed freely.
