[edit] History
Considered by the Empire to be primarily an artist's paradise, it was largely ignored. Moenia became a haven for Rebel Alliance recruiters. It lay in the Lianorm Swamps region of the planet, an area traditionally inhabited by the Gungans. The Aerie Casino was located on the town's outskirts. A Grand Opening of the casino occurred in 1 ABY.[1]
Among the city's more famous patrons was the famed poet, philologist, and scholar Ebenn Q3 Baobab. Borvo the Hutt was also known to relax in the local cantina.[2]
Moenia usually had a misty gloom about it, while inside the city one could rarely tell if it was day or night.
Just outside the town was an underground bunker known as Borvo's Vault, and rumors told of it having an acklay and a rancor guarding its secrets.[2]
Moenia was also the host of the Galactic Moon Festival of 1 ABY.
[edit] Behind the scenes
The word moenia in Latin is defined as "the outer walls of a city," or when employed as synecdoche, in text, moenia stands for the city as a whole.
