Background: Borgo Prime, also known as Starport Borgo or Port Borgo, was an asteroid that served as a shadowport in the galaxy’s Outer Rim Territories. Located on the Hydian Way, the former pirate Queen Maz Kanata marked it on a map she included in the book that would eventually become known as The Smuggler’s Guide.
Around 9 ABY, the shadowport was controlled by the Shistavanen pirate Brutus and their crew. Several children—KB, Wim, Neel, and Fern—arrived at the asteroid aboard the Onyx Cinder after accidentally taking off from their home world of At Attin.
Before it had been a spaceport, Borgo Prime was originally a Rakata colony.
Over the course of millennia, miners hollowed out the asteroid. By approximately 23 ABY, the miners had left Borgo Prime a bare, sponge-like rock, with its resources completely depleted. However, when the miners left, they left behind the equipment that had been used to make Borgo Prime habitable. As a result, Borgo Prime transitioned from being barren and lifeless into a bustling center of trade and commerce.
By 19 ABY, it served as a financial center of the Imperial Remnant.
