The Jekk'Jekk Tarr was a cantina that was located within the spaceport docks of Nar Shaddaa and circulated cyanogen fumes that were lethal to Humans and Nikto, but commonplace for, and often preferred by, many other alien species. It was divided into five sections, lit with either green, yellow, blue, or red light depending on the room. The establishment was designed to be a haven for the more exotic species of the galaxy, its very atmosphere providing a buffer against less desirable company. Instead of serving drinks, the bar served "nutrient chemicals" to its clientèle, who paid large sums of credits for the privilege.
During her time on the moon in 3,951 BBY, the Jedi Exile was lured here by Visquis in his attempt to claim the Exchange's outstanding bounty on Jedi. She survived the hostile environment using the Force, harnessing the power of Breath Control in order to conserve oxygen. When Visquis saw that the gas had no effect on her, he commanded the bounty hunters and other bar patrons within to attack her, offering a huge reward to whoever took her down. During the battle, she convinced the Lunar Shadow captain to go back to his crew before continuing her pursuit through the tunnels below the cantina and into Visquis's lair. Upon returning at a later time, the Exile found that the Jekk'Jekk Tarr had been closed.

[edit] Behind the scenes
The Jekk'Jekk Tarr first appears in the video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. The cantina and the base below it were originally intended to have been one of the lairs of the secretive bounty hunter guild known as the GenoHaradan. However, this was cut from the final game and the base became the stronghold of Visquis's faction of the Exchange.[2]
The player can enter the Jekk'Jekk Tarr without a spacesuit before the quest to rescue Mira activates without any consequences to the Exile's health, provided that she is equipped with a gas mask; if this is done, she can contact the Lunar Shadow captain before the bar patrons become hostile. The Exile can also recruit Odis to be the new captain for the Lunar Shadow crew before entering the cantina. Nevertheless, the former captain cannot be killed, and is the only patron to remain neutral during the skirmish.[3]
Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, the only source thus far in which the Jekk'Jekk Tarr appears, misspells the place's name once as Jek'Jek Tarr, within the Music list accessible from the game's menu screen.[1]
