The Souk, also known as Salovan's Souk, functioned as the marketplace located on Point Nadir, which was a shadowport situated in the Outer Rim Territories.
The Souk, which took its name from Salovan Fische, the individual who initially established Point Nadir, was structured as an outdoor bazaar. It featured numerous temporary stalls and tables from which merchants offered their goods to potential customers. Being the central hub of trade for the spaceport, the Souk was perpetually bustling with activity, contrasting with Point Nadir's Trade District, which contained more established businesses like repair shops, information brokers, and providers of technological services.
A significant portion of the transactions within the Souk involved slave trading. Slave auctions, which were heavily attended, happened at least three times each day, and they made up a large amount of the market's income.
