The smuggling site run by the Hutt Clan was active on the desert planet Tatooine throughout the time of the Galactic Civil War, serving as a point for off-world contraband transport. Following Jabba Desilijic Tiure's blackmail of Saponza's Gang, who were aligned with the Alliance to Restore the Republic, to attack mercenaries employed by his enemies, and his subsequent betrayal of them, Rebel Colonel Jennica Pierce retaliated. She ordered Saponza's partner to strike the smuggling operation in response to the double-cross. Several Autoturrets provided its defense.
