Bartyn's Landing

Bartyn's Landing, sometimes abbreviated as The Landing, was a coastal town on the planet Lamaredd, to which it served as unofficial capital and only spaceport. It received its official name for its founder Hugo Bartyn.

Bartyn used an old Hoersch-Kessel LH-3010 capital freighter, strategically placed in the coast, as the skeleton for his city. Bartyn used mining technology to blow up parts of the hull, creating a coastal city with ports, and then he populated it with indentured servants of several species.

Since its creation around five hundred years before the Battle of Naboo, the economy of the town was based in fishing seafood that was exported through the company Bartyn Gourmet Delicacies. Descendants of Bartyn kept control of both the company and the town as mayors; by also controlling the local mines officially owned by Outer Rim Oreworks, the Bartyns controlled most of the planet. Eventually, the living conditions of Bartyn's near-slaves improved considerably and they became full-fledged citizens.

Several times Bartyn's Landing was attacked by external agents, including outlaw gangs and the native Menahuuns.
