Legend

this was the name of the shadowport which was originally founded by Lamuu Bianco as a storage and repair facility for the starships in his pirate fleet. When the Old Republic was replaced by the Empire, and smuggling became more and more profitable, the shadowport was opened to all spacers, provided that they had an invitation. The invitation provided the coordinates of a hyperspace bouy in the Tamber System, as well as a password to access the memory of the bouy. The bouy contained the final jump coordinates to Lammax, provided that the correct password was entered. Uninvited guests who didn't know the password to the shadowport were given fake coordinates that led them through the heart of the Tamber System's primary star. The bouy itself was protected from tampering by a sensor system that detects if it is captured by a tractor beam or gravity well. If captured, the bouy was designed to self-destruct.
