The Dark Quarter existed on the planet Yuw. During the year 1 BBY, Darth Vader, the Sith Lord, discovered a scheme to murder him. Consequently, Vader journeyed to the Dark Quarter, where he questioned and executed multiple bounty hunters. His goal was to gather intelligence regarding the Hidden Hand criminal syndicate, the group responsible for the assassination plot.
