Bar Jaraniz

Bar Jaraniz—also known simply as the Jara'—was a seedy tapcaf located on Nar Shaddaa, the so-called "Smuggler's Moon" of Nal Hutta. Situated in one of Hutt Space rougher neighborhoods, the Jara' vowed never to close, codifying that sentiment in a sign hung over its permanently welded-open doors. The tapcaf served a variety of beverages, including water and ale, in addition to fanciful cocktails that were constructed right before a customer's eyes. Attracting an eclectic clientele, often made up of mercenaries, gangsters, and bounty hunters, Bar Jaraniz weathered its fair share of gang violence and other shoot-outs over the years, but managed to remain true to its advertised promise of remaining open for business.

In the year 24 ABY, the Yuuzhan Vong agent Nom Anor traveled to Bar Jaraniz in disguise and under the alias "Udelen," seeking to hire a mercenary's services. There, he met with a Mandalorian soldier by the name of Goran Beviin. After some initial trepidation, Beviin agreed to work for Anor, unaware of his true nature or agenda; the two exchanged payment and assignment details, before the Yuuzhan Vong agent subsequently departed the Jara'. Though his business was concluded, Beviin remained at the tapcaf for some time after, in order to join a Mandalorian mother and daughter—Briika and Dinua Jeban—who'd come to Bar Jaraniz that evening in order to celebrate the young Dinua's recent coming of age.
