Shalam

Shalam was an Inner Rim planet that was home to the Shalamite cultural group. It was subjected to a bombardment by the Galactic Empire Star Destroyer Emperor's Disciple and had become a part of the New Republic by 12 ABY. Seven years later, the Shalamite had imposed a one-hundred-percent tariff on the import of the Jandarra vegetable from the planet Jubilar. The New Republic politician Leia Organa Solo made at least two diplomatic visits to Shalam, and in 19 ABY, Mayor Incavi Baker of Jubilar's city Death made an offer of a smuggling run to Shalam to Han Solo, Organa Solo's husband who was posing as a visiting independent trader, as a way to lead him into an ambush by the bounty hunter Boba Fett.
