Description

Jabba's Palace is made of stone and metal, and is located in the desert known as the Dune Sea on the planet of Tatooine at Coords -5856, -6183 and was home to the gangster Jabba the Hutt.

The palace was originally a monastery built by the mysterious B'omarr monks who still live in its depths, but over the years parts of it were taken over by groups of bandits with each new tenant rebuilding and expanding it until it eventually became the centre of Jabba's criminal empire. Jabba equipped the palace with a number of security devices, including a semi-intelligent droid gatewatcher built into the main entrance. This droid, little more than an electronic eye on a stick embedded in the gate itself would interrogate visitors before deciding whether to allow them to enter. Jabba's chief aide Bib Fortuna would usually also interrogate visitors who got this far before allowing them an audience with Jabba himself. Jabba also employed Gamorrean guards to act as his bodyguards and security force.

Jabba's Throne Room

Jabba reclines on a huge dais in his throne room, surrounded by a motley crew of bounty hunters (including Boba Fett) and other criminals seeking his favor. His every whim was catered for with live animals known as gorks to eat and entertainment from musicians, dancing girls (often Twi'leks) and Salacious Crumb his court jester.

In a pit beneath the throne room itself, Jabba kept a Rancor. With the press of a button, Jabba could activate a trapdoor, sending an unsuspecting victim into the pit to be eaten.
