Taris
this urban planet was located in the Outer Rim Territories. During the millennia before the Great Sith War, Taris' planetwide city was rivalled only by Coruscant itself in its beauty and grandeur. Over the centuries, though, much of the cityscape fell into disrepair and ruin. By the time of the Great Sith War, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, the cityscape was terrorized by swoop gangs and packs of rakghouls. Those natives with wealth and power escaped to the upper levels of the city, known as the Upper City, leaving the rest of the population to fester in the Lower City. In the fighting that occurred during the Sith War, Taris was eventually attacked and destroyed by the Sith.
