HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Built to shame his rivals and inflate his own sense of self importance, Lortho envisioned and designed a monolithic, extravagant tower reaching up into Nar Shaddaa's atmosphere and dwarfing all that lay below it. Taking inspiration from similar architectural marvels built on Zakuul by the Eternal Empire of old, Lortho hired Zakuulan architects to aid him in the design and construction of his new palace. The construction of such an architectural feat would take a generation, but such a period of time meant nothing to a long lived being like a Hutt, and Lortho was more than patient.
Over the decades, this grand structure rose and rose into the skies of Nar Shaddaa, and despite several invasions and other setbacks, construction continued, legions of indentured laborers and construction droids used to complete the vast amount of and often dangerous levels of work necessary to pull off such a mechanical marvel. Finally, after almost a hundred years of work, in 867 ABY, construction has been completed, and the doors of Lortho's masterpiece have been opened to the public.
