HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Balihl Minor Repair Port was originally established by a savvy Rodian entrepreneur named Garvikk Lek. A former smuggler himself, Garvikk saw the need for a reliable and discreet repair facility catering to the less lawful denizens of Hutt Space. Leveraging his extensive network and knowledge of the underworld, he chose the remote swamps of Nal Hutta as the perfect location, where privacy and security from prying eyes could be ensured. With his background in ship mechanics and his connections within the smuggling community, Garvikk built Balihl from the ground up, focusing on efficiency, discretion, and quality service.

As Balihl's reputation grew, so did the interest of the powerful Hutt Cartel. The Spaceport was brought forcefully under the control of the local Hutts, and ownership changed to Dol-a Vars, a Twi'lek working under the local Hutt rulers.
