The Descent Ghetto, a haven for criminal activity, existed as a part of New Tayana. This city in space was in orbit around the planet Duro. As the Galactic Republic neared its end, a Duros named Soopan rose to power as a crime boss in the Descent Ghetto. He did this by pretending to be his former acquaintance, Cad Bane, an ex-resident of the city who had become well-known as a highly skilled bounty hunter. Circa 21 BBY, Bane made his way back to the Descent Ghetto to face Soopan and put an end to his impersonation.
