- Nar Shaddaa is a world that exists between the light and dark, both alive to the Force and dead to it. A place that will never turn away a bounty hunter, freelancer, mercenary or wanderer.

"A place that has never turned away a stranger" sounds so wholesome and inviting until you realise the reality of that is "Because everyone's organs are worth something".
‘Ah, the beautiful stench of decay and desperate living’
Atton Rand
"Welcome to Nar Shaddaa! Towering buildings kilometers high and miles deep. With canyons so wide you could have a dog-fight in them. Word of warning, watch where you step, or you'll fall for hours..."
I'm now imagining a Hutt going:
"Death Sticks?"
"Kyber Crystals?"
"Thermal Detonators?"
"You want it?! It's yours my friend! As long as you have enough credits!"
Come back Luke, when you're a little...
*R I C H E R*
Hutts are top chain, they won't just be common salesman
"Two atomic weapons, three stage, in the 50 megaton range. They must be disguised in a small cargo container, each, and shielded from all scans."
"Oh, and they need to be made ready within a standard day. Could you handle that?"

Nar Shaddaa slogan “At least we’ve not Taris”
At least we are not Nal Huta.
Lol
When you look through the majority of planets in Star Wars, Nar Shaddaa is actually pretty nice (and I say this with FULL awareness of the fact that the moon is one giant mob casino, filled with refugees who have run out of options and are likely about to be enslaved and/or harvested, which orbits a literal toxic dump) - the majority of others you see are either A) Frozen wastelands with incredibly dangerous wildlife, B) Barren desert worlds with incredibly dangerous wildlife, C) Wild jungle with incredibly dangerous wildlife or D) Sparse scrub/swampland which can BARELY support an ecosystem but has, you guessed it, incredibly dangerous wildlife.
There are valid lore reasons for all of this, but it doesn't change the reality that most inhabited worlds seem BARELY habitable (at best).
Honestly, I'm glad that Galaxy is far, far away - it's the galaxy equivalent of that motel where you can choose between the room with bloodstains on the walls and ceiling or the room with stains on the bedsheets that you *wish* were blood.
@@aecides3203 Sure.. But if the galaxy was full of garden world where organic life doesn’t struggle to survive then how biodiverse do you think the species of the galaxy would be..? Adaption to new/foreign & changing environments is important to the long term survival & evolutional capabilities +Genetic or cybernetic additions of a species.. Earth our homeworld was once incapable of supporting human life.. & still in parts of it has all the hallmarks of hazards you listed but over time we adapted & learned how to live & change the environment around us.. If humanity hopes to survive then just looking for earth-like planets is not sustainable.. Our nearest potentially “habitable” worlds are all not anything like earth’s but we believe that if we develop the right tech & send the right people we can make these once “inhospitable” planets home to us. Life find a way in all places & if one is resilient enough, can also.
We know so little of our galaxy but as it is right now “comfortable” living elsewhere on some stellar twin is extremely unlikely (at this time).. Also our world gave us dinosaurs & other apex predators, what the hell is waiting for us on distant worlds.. 😅 (‘cough’ Tyranasquids)
Taris was once a ecumenopolis a city spanning the entire world & was bombarded to the ground yet despite the destruction, life remained & eventually recovered.. which is why Nar Shaddaa was & is still better in their opinion.. >;)
@@ravager2-636 Oh I agree with that - adaptation and adversity is incredibly important for long term survival of a species. But none of that makes it a *nice* place to live compared to Nar Shaddaa (which, if you overlook/can avoid the horrific crime rate, is a pretty easy place to live and even thrive). Though I'm pretty sure almost *anywhere* with an even vaguely survivable atmosphere tops Taris - Rakghouls don't make for good neighbours.
That said, I actually quite like the lack of biodiversity among a lot of Apex predators (like Nexu and Acklay) in the Star Wars Galaxy - it makes sense that, when almost the entire Galaxy has been inhabited by spacefaring species for tens of thousands of years (maybe longer? I'm unclear on just how old some of the really old species like the Rakata are), species which are best able to adapt and overcome will dominate a wide variety of ecosystems (think rats spreading around the world on cargo ships, but on a much grander and scarier scale) and, over time, naturally wipe out organisms which have evolved primarily to rely on a stable, local eco-system. I think some of it might have even been deliberate - we *know* the reason you can find the same sentient species appearing all over the Galaxy is that the Rakata distributed them across slave colonies, so it would make sense that livestock/beasts of burden/maybe even 'war' or 'sport' beasts (like Apex predators) would be distributed with them. As far as habitable planets go though, the lack of even basic terraforming has always confused me - it's demonstrated, in universe, that they're capable of it (any civilisation that can maintain an ecumenopolis must, by definition, be able to create and sustain an artificial atmosphere), yet everyone continues living on these barely habitable dump worlds just because natural garden worlds are limited (and usually get wrecked by one thing or another).
What a coincidence, I'm currently playing swtor and I'm on Nar Shaddaa. Nar Shaddaa is certainly an interesting place.
Gotta start another play through been awhile.
Love that game.
@@noneed4me2n7 It is a good game, I've yet to complete all 8 characters.
@TheTyler8421 It is a level on Kotor 2 as well.
Nice, playing swtor as well, nar shaddaa may even be one of my favorite plannets
Nar Shadda is the armpit of the galaxy. -------Darth Baras
I'd argue that's Nal Huta.
"Sounds like your kind of place Baras!" - Empire's Wrath
@@Infernal460 Hutta is the armpit hair of the galaxy
“Watch your step, or you’ll be falling for hours.”
-Atton
I always loved how cyberpunk Nar Shaddaa looks. It reminds me of Coruscant in it’s neon cyberpunk aesthetic. Very cool.
@@Emigdiosback hell yeah they should
@@Emigdiosback Lazarus military group.
It's got a Blade Runner aesthetic
"It's an entire world of pirates and outlaws." -- Luke Skywalker
Ah Nar Shaddaa the evil twin of coruscant!
well it's basically a reskinned coruscant in swtor
Actually it would more appropiate to be considered the more honest twin of Coruscant.
Coruscant is much bigger in size, however.
Its the Gotham of starwars and coruscant is metropolis lol
The only part of star wars legends that is not forgotten: Star Wars the Old Republic
None of SW legends is forgotten atleast by the real fans
All the more reason to join and support the Star Wars Legends movement on social media who are petitioning a continuation of Star Wars Legends as its own separate but equal timeline with new stories. They have also donated over 1000 Star Wars books to children's hospitals in California, Arizona, Illinois, Florida, and Texas in the United States and being personally invited to host a fan table at Star Wars Celebration twice.
E-VO-KAI
if they had a bounty hunter game set on this planet, I would buy it on day one.
“Never trust a bartender with bad grammar!” - Kyle Katarn
I am just a simple man. I see Star Wars Legends, I press like.
Also, perfect pick with this "Bright Jewel" of Hutt Space. Nar Shaddaa is basically a cyberpunk city-planet, something that you would get by mashing Night City's districts together and then covering the whole moon with them...
"you'll never find a more Wretched Hive of Scum & Villainy" 😉
We have. It's Washington D.C.
@@michaelandreipalon359, you're not wrong, but D.C. is pretty damn corrupt.
@@michaelandreipalon359 You two! Please, stop bringing real world politics to the comment section -- people comes here to have some fun, not to get depressed.
@@michaelandreipalon359 Did you ever stopped to think that TOR _is not made_ by the same team responsible for Mass Effect 3? Besides, ME 3's quality was fine -- so stop being a damn fanboy, ok?
You ever been to Jita 4-4 caldari navy assembly plant?
Nar Shadda - a worse place than Mos Eisley and the Coruscant underworld combined.
Gotta say, didn't expect an Atlas video on Star Wars Legends, even though this place exists in Canon. Loved the glowing interface, it reminds me of a hologram or neon lights. Hope you'll do more on the Legends timeline (there's a whole lot of material from the Old Republic era alone).
Perfect! As a SWTOR Roleplayer, me and my community adored this video, it captures the Underworld-RP perfectly.
"Shaddaa ain't the most beautiful place..but it be home.." -Some Pirate Captain (my RP-char)
There's this takeout place that has the best fried peppers you can get off Rodia Prime.
@@Reddotzebra I prefer going to Adondes Foodstand. Best cook on the damn whole Moon xD
*distant sound of Kyle Katarn falling off a platform*
I'm such a hermit to know all the falling sounds.
So, let me get this straight. The Yuuzan Vong demolished the place, and then the folks who wrote the next time period basically retconned the planet back to almost exactly what it was before?
Even in _Legends_ they're entirely too wedded to the time period of the original trilogy.
Also, kind of ironic that blasted and Vong-formed Nar Shadaa was _still_ a better place to build than toxic Hutta.
Really enjoyed exploring this cyberpunk city in swtor as a jedi knight.
seeing the name Nar Shaddaa brings back memories to KOTOR...
Nar Shaddaa... Place where my best rpg campaign take place...
This is really cool. I knew there were characters like Lando who went a bit into the grey from time to time but I had no idea there was such a world that catered to the grey side.
@@spiffygonzales5160 I did notice that the different "good side groups" behaved differently based on which era they were in.
I do like when teams argue among themselves, it makes the characters and people feel more natural.
@@spiffygonzales5160 I'd actually go a step further and say that for a long time it was more like "Do you think the force is a tool to use or do you think you are a tool for the force to use?"
This was contradicted in lore quite early on (in universe terms anyway) but the Jedi kept believing it anyway, and the splinter sect of them that call themselves the Sith kept preaching independence, self reliance and so on.
Basically, if you believe Legends lore, all you really need to achieve peace and harmony in the afterlife is to be able to be selfless. The Jedi believed that meant they had to do everything the force nudged them to do but that wasn't really the case.
It's not really "grey" at all. Nar Shaddaa is a place of great evil. However, it is an evil that stands apart from Empire-builders and instead is the evil of rampant corporatism and corruption. Nar Shaddaa does not house evil death-cults like the Sith or Autocratic Empires, but is still a place of utter cruelty.
@@DraculaCronqvist hum. I guess it makes sense for there to be other Dark side groups in the Star Wars universe.
Makes me wonder about Light side groups outside the Jedi.
@@kairon156 No, it's not a Dark Side group. It's evil outside of the Dark Side. The Dark Side is the Force being misused for cruelty, but the Hutts, Black Sun and others do not use the Force. Their evil is their own, not connected to the Dark Side.
Ahh the SWTOR nostalgia is just coming back again
Thank you for making a video on one of my favorite planets in the old republic
Nar Shaddaa or in other words: Star Wars' equivalent of Tortuga during the ''Golden Age of Piracy''.
Nar Shaddaa has yet to make an on-screen appearance and that upsets me. It has been in so many games or comics that it's become a big part of Star Wars like Tatooine or Coruscant, yet still no significant mainstream screentime.
Yes this is great these Star wars legends videos are so much more interesting than the ones on the Disney canon I'd love to see more
Disney canon is shite. Disney killed starwars and revived its dead corpse as a zombie monstruosity
Y’all mispronounced Evocii. Would refer to SWTOR’s Nal Hutta storyline to hear it pronounced right.
Still a great video. Thanks again Templin Institute.
This cyberpunk city in swtor looks better than night city in cyberpunk 2077
Omg so much footage from SWTOR! Such an amazing video!
Outside x-box: Nar Shadda Scottish for “no its your dad”
"You're Reelo Baruk?"
"In da flesh! But who are you?"
I’ve never been so early lol, I’ve stopped editing my video to watch yours haha
Loved that opening. The eternal conflict, obvious but rarely explored fully
The moon is dead to the force, even more so after what the Vong did to it, but it is simultaneously a tightly woven knot of people from all stripes of life and all corners of the galaxy, each bringing their own thread of life both dark and light.
The force is thus like a concealing web that stretches across decaying slums and wraps the glittering hologram encrusted spires, making detection difficult for even the greatest masters of the scrying arts. It is the gnarled ground of the Star Wars galaxy, and yet one of the places where enough disparate threads of force converge to clearly detect an echo, a sound on the edge of hearing.
One of the coolest locations in Star Wars! great video
More Legends worlds please!
I've been watching a good few the videos on sci-fi world building, politics and deigns, Its was actually helpful.
I compared my more recent story about a war with an older one, with the older one I found multiple errors and repetitive with little character development.
But with my more recent one after learning off of others mistakes and here I actually produced a better story, and my English block was actually impressed so, thanks man I turned a failing grade to passing one. here's the part they liked the most
End of the story: "As I walk the valley of death, I don't have a fear because I am the meanest motherfucker around."
Extraordinarily well narrated. Very very good video
What happens in Space Vegas stays in Space Vegas.
More like Space Atlantic City, or Space Kamurocho
Thanks for the legends content.
people: commenting on the video
me, watching the intro over and over: shiny :O
"It's a wretched hive, where the ruthless thrive
If you're cunning and cruel, then you might survive
Keep your hand at your hip on your blaster's grip
Or you'll never get out alive"

Whenever I read Nar Shaddaa it automatically plays with G0T0's voice in my head
Love it.
Nice video! Hoping to see more of the Antares Confederacy too soon
Evocii
E-voh-kai
"Legends." You mean good Star Wars.
Amen
@@Joeys-Channel Original EU is the best part of the franchise, and KOTOR is a better star wars story than ALL of the movies.
*Actual Star Wars.
We’ve been in the dark times since 2012.
😂😂😂 right, to be fair Clone Wars, Rebels, Jedi FO and Survivor and Rogue One are also good star wars.
@@DerezzedMan while those ARE good, they are NOT what i am referring to.
Also R1 was worthless, and just made the weakness stupid.
Longer videos please!
More Star Wars please!
You guys ever think of doing an Atlas on Letterkenny for the hell of it?
A world with no destiny. A world with the same destiny as all worlds.
Very well put.
there is no such thing as "Generic Sci-Fi" when we have 'Star Wars'
Proof that Legends is better than anything Disney can conjure.
Hi templin love your vids
*I was just wondering, does the Templin Institute have or made any enemies in their travels threw the multiverse?*
I'm still hoping that The Templin Institute will do a lore rewrite for Star Citizen, like how Nando V Movies does with movies.
I love the Purple City 💜
The proverbial armpit of the Galaxy.
This is one of your finest videos yet. Fucking MINT 👌🏼
Now don't get me wrong, I prefer Legends to the Disney failure. But there is nothing gray about Nar Shadaa. It is as dark as the Empire. It is merely not *loyal* to it.
Apologies, I believe Evocii is pronounced, Ee-Vok-Aye and, Yuuzhan Vong is pronounced as, You-Zhung-Vong
Good job. Sounds like NYC in the 70s.
Or even a moon sized 40k hive city.
I feel like this is an entirely new aesthetic for atlas? It looks great but I don't know if its always been like this and its just my imagination. Pretty cool
The interface graphics do seem more...glowy.
Could you do a video covering the Allied States of America from the TV and Comic series "Jericho"?
Literally the best location in all of SW.
Atton Rand: "Nar Shadaa. A shimmering, futuristic moon that under its beauty and splendor lies the most wretched scum and poverty in the Galaxy. Basically, an average cyberpunk city..."
Meetra Surik: "Cyberpunk city? What do you mean with that?"

Meetra Surik: "No"
Atton Rand: "Robocop?"
Meetra Surik: "No"
Atton Rand: "Metropolis?"
Meetra Surik: "No"
Atton Rand: "AKIRA?"
Meetra Surik: "No"
Atton Rand: "Ghost in the Shell?"
Meetra Surik: "No"
Atton Rand: "Psycho pass?"
Meetra Surik: "No"
Atton Rand: "...Bubblegum Crisis?"
Neetra Surik: "HELL YEAH!!!"
Atton Rand: "Well, then you get the idea..."
That's the place where those THICC Tweilik sisters tried to bonk me in a bar.
I’m doing a Star Wars themed dnd game and it starts on nar sha da
You guys should do the Yuuzhan Vong war
I say it again: Do a video on the Amarr Empire from EVE.
Can you do the reconstituted Sith empire
its like vegas chicago new york and LA rolled into one city.
So basically a space crime Switzerland
0:56 damn😏
I want a tv show entirely set on nar shadda or coruscant
Do the eternal empire next
Crime Alley: The -planet- moon.
I distinctly remember this planet but I can't remember from where.
I kinda wanna play Kotor 2 again now
0:57 Admit it...You paused.
Ever been held at blaster point by a scrap scavenging jawa?... yeah me neither
Hands down the coolest place is old republic online got a pimped out sky palace night club there for my bounty hunter
You should do the Vong
398k? Almost 400k comrades !
In all honesty, the original Star Wars timeline was better than the canon one.
Not first on comments but first into Jekk'jekk Tarr.
Vegas in space
In summary: space Vegas
Yall do the jedi order already
Space Vegas or maybe space Monte Carlo if you just stay at the top.
can you do hegemon from enders game or maybe polemarch or strategos as a future series, just a recommendation
How about a video about the Cabal from "Destiny" and "Destiny 2"?
So basically, this was the Star Wars equivalent of Cyberpunk's night city.
Time to play SWTOR
last time han sulu was this early, there was a cover system.
Went to the city in swtor and gawd i don't want to stay or live there
Anyone else just arriving?
Yes
