Taris was a city-planet much like Coruscant. It was the site of many major swoop races, the most famous of which being the Taris Season Opener, where many seasoned professional swoop racers competed for the fame that came with the win.
Taris, was the planet that the Galactic Republic escape pods crashed on after the Hammerhead-class capital ship Endar Spire was destroyed by a Sith Interdictor-class Cruiser.
The planet was blockaded by the Sith during the Jedi Civil War, and later heavily bombarded from orbit by the Sith in an attempt to kill Bastila Shan, a Jedi who escaped the Endar Spire, but crashed on the planet.
Taris had three major levels: the Upper City, where Human nobles lived, the Lower City, where aliens and swoop gangs resided, and the Undercity, a rakgoul-infested level where the exiled Humans were forced to.
