The black market, or the underground market is an illegal, underworld trading system where scoundrels, criminals and the galaxy’s most disgraceful citizens can purchase good that are not publicly sold or traded. Many highly prohibited and illegal products like forbidden droids, dangerous spices and incredibly exotic technologies could be found on the black market. So I’m going to breakdown the dark truth behind these black markets, and every single item you can buy on them.
Pretty much every civilised planet in the galaxy had their own dodgy and illegal black market of some kind, in order to meet the demand of the Galaxy’s criminal syndicates and spice dealers. In these markets, huge volumes of forbidden droids, spices, weapons and other restricted technologies could be found on the black market. On top of this, some less severe things like banned music and entertainment as well as pirated holo movies could also be found in the less underground black markets. On some deeply religious planets, even basic items like caffeine would only be available through black markets and illegal trading.
Planets like Corellia, Coruscant and Eriadu all had thriving black markets, where criminal syndicates could make incredible amounts of money.
In the darkest depths of the black market, things like Twi’Lek slave girls, hitmen, political intelligence and other deeply disturbing products could be purchased and traded, without question.
The major black markets of the galaxy were split up into three main categories and one even deeper market level, which the Republic may assassinate me for telling you about.
The first tier is the closest to being legal, and the most commonly accessed market. This level was known as the F tier. F tier items were items sold on the black market because a special fee or permit was required to buy them through legal methods. Things like high power ship engines, high tech armor, certain hunting blasters and hard to obtain licenses were traded on the F tier market and were very easy to transport around the galaxy, without patrolling republic or later imperial vessels causing trouble.
In the imperial era, items sold on this F tier were very commonly purchased by the Rebel alliance, because of course, anybody even just slightly suspected of being a rebel sympathizer would never be granted a license or permit for any weapon.
Following this, the next, deeper and darker level is called the R Tier or restricted tier. The items sold on the restricted tier included anything that was prohibited by local law, both in the time of the republic and the empire. These included prohibited blaster pistols, most blaster carbines, ship-mounted weaponry and any sort of blast charge. On the black market, these items could go for anywhere between the item’s original price, to over double, reserving this level to be used by only the dodgiest of citizens and low-live crime lords.
Next, the final level, which is the most disturbing and disgraceful level is the X-Tier. Goods traded in this tier were often highly prohibited by local planetary law, and galactic law. Some of the goods included on this level were of course spice, deathsticks and other products in that category, if you know what I mean, RU-vid won’t let me say the name. On top of this, you could also find exotic thermal detonators, clone trooper armor, stormtrooper armor and anti-empire propaganda materials. As for the services in this tier, you could likely find hitmen, damaging political information, forged documents, and exotic space travel technology.
Now below all of this, was a more disgraceful and horrific market, worse than even the black market. This market was known as the invisible market and contained the worst of the worst.
In this market, the most notable object to ever sold was the War Mask of General Grievous, which was obtained on Utapau after his death to Obi-Wan Kenobi. Rumours say it was purchased by Grand Admiral Thrawn because of his deep appreciation for art and culture, but nobody has been able to confirm this. I have a full video on what happened to Grievous’ body after his death in the pinned comment below, so make sure to check that out!
In addition, ill go through a list of the most notable products on this market:
After I go through the list, let me know which you think would be the most destructive, and which deserves to be banned the most.
These items include,

Buzzdroid technology,

And finally, Shield leeching technology.
