Coruscant Livestock Exchange and Exhibition
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
The Coruscant Livestock Exchange and Exhibition was held every year, on Coruscant and was the largest livestock fair in the galaxy was held in the stables, corrals, and halls of the Grand Symposium. The exhibition was a major event for animal dealers and traders of all sorts. Many transactions, legal or otherwise, were held amid the competitions, auctions and revelry. The Livestock exhibition gave many different beings an opportunity to learn more about one another and their various worlds through the exotic creatures they brought with them.
This popular and well-attended event presented many opportunities for smuggling and escape. Each year unclaimed nunas seem to run about everywhere. Sometimes it was hard to tell which creatures were traders and which were livestock. For example, it was said that confused traders even tried to purchase Ewok traders present at the event.
Sadly, the intense pollution on Coruscant claimed the lives of dozens of animals that were not used to the dirty air. For example, the thranta, a highly sought after beast at the Exchange, was unnable to handle the atmosphere, so used was it to the atmosphere of it's natural habitat of Alderaan, a planet that had a naturally clean atmosphere, and the Life zone of Bespin where some were transplanted prior to Alderaan's destruction.
Tendau Nandon and Dusque Mistflier went to one of the exhibitions prior to 1 ABY.
