Legend

this was one of the northernmost sections of Galactic City, located on the planet Coruscant, during the last years of the Old Republic. Shortly before the Clone Wars, one of the garbage-launching machines that propelled refuse into orbit misfired, sending industrial waste and shrapnel into the civilian area of the district, killing 48 and injuring more than 200 other beings. It was later discovered that a group of families were illegally tapping into the power supply for the launcher. The homemade power taps disabled the launcher's obstruction sensors, allowing it to fire even though the path was blocked. The Desrini District was closed off for many weeks, as the clean-up of industrial waste left the area unlivable. In the wake of this disaster, the Desrini District was set upon by a swarm of dianogas. More than twenty-five homeless beings were reportedly eaten by the scavengers before the problem was brought to the attention of the authorities.
