During the final years of the Galactic Republic, a cantina known as The Chasm could be found in the city of Gadrin, situated on the planet Cularin.
To give the illusion of a chasm, the cantina's walls were constructed to resemble limestone. Performers occupied platforms at differing elevations, accessible to customers either by scaling the walls or utilizing repulsor lifts. Beside the bar, a holographic waterfall was displayed; however, the projector was in need of repair, causing the waterfall to occasionally glitch.
Originally, the cantina was a storage facility. Bolt, a bartender, was employed there, along with Gamorrean security personnel and Deam Schween, a Rodian comedian. During the Clone Wars period, the Dark Jedi Raik Muun launched an assault on the cantina. She placed a holorecorder in the cantina's refresher, which Forg F'lopo, one of the cantina's customers, discovered. Subsequently, disguised as the Zabrak Jedi Knight Nek Lawsirk, she re-entered the cantina and used her lightsaber to attack some patrons. F'lopo documented the entire event with the holorecorder, and the resulting recording contributed to a decline in the Jedi's reputation on Cularin.
The following day, The Heroes of Cularin, in their search for Lawsirk, visited the cantina and inquired about the events that had transpired.
