Smuggler's Alley, a street found on the Outer Rim planet of Batuu, resided inside the limits of Black Spire Outpost. At one terminus of Smuggler's Alley was the location of Oga's Cantina, whereas Black Spire Station along with Docking Bay 9 were positioned further down its expanse, opposite the Milk Stand.
During Disney's 2017 D23 Expo, this locale was initially revealed via a scaled representation of the Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge park zone, although it remained without a name at that time. Its initial naming occurred on a promotional trading card that was distributed during the Galactic Nights gathering on December 16 of that selfsame year. The card's edges featured verses from a poem in Aurebesh, declaring, "BLACK WAS THE SPIRE THAT CALLED ME TO STAY."
