Black market
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
The Black market was an illegal underworld center that the crime organizations such as the Zann Consortium accessed. Many forbidden droids, weapons, and other technological innovations could be found on the black market. Black market technology was often employed by pirates and other criminal organizations. Although the technology was effective, it was sometimes outdated. Also, the users would have to be careful, as it was a crime to possess illegal items.
The city of Depatar was considered the biggest black market in the Cularin system. It had been built by five crime syndicates wanting a neutral meeting ground to deal, and later offered to any parties with similar needs.[1]
