Nabat

Nabat was a small city on the planet Ryloth, the homeworld of the Twi'lek species, located in the galaxy's Outer Rim Territories.

Like many settlements on Ryloth, much of Nabat existed underground, safe from the dangers of the world's often harsh environment and wild predators. A complex series of tunnels led to a multi-district lower city nestled within a large underground cavern, home to a variety of shops and residences, which housed a sizable number of Twi'leks. Among the city's aboveground portions, Nabat was host to a number of slums, landing pads, and a local cantina, as well as the remainder of Nabat's population.

Early in the Clone Wars, a galaxy-spanning conflict between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, the droid army of the Confederacy invaded Ryloth. During initial stages of the occupation, Nabat was devastated and many of its citizens were captured, held at one of the Confederacy's nearby artillery emplacements where these hostages were meant to serve as a deterrent to anyone considering an attack on the guns. Nevertheless, the imprisoned Twi'leks were later rescued by Republic forces under the command of Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi in the course of their liberation of the planet, with several of Nabat's newly freed inhabitants joining the fight to retake their home from the battle droids who sought to conquer it.

Years later, following the rise of the Galactic Empire, Nabat became home to a group of Twi'lek militants who strove to protect the common people and their interests from those who would do them harm.
