Spargel was a Sky Pirate settlement. Like most Sky Pirate settlements, Spargel relied on anonymity for protection against Ades hostility, being located within the hollow interior of an unremarkable-looking mountain and accessible only through a narrow canyon. In addition, the city was located at a high altitude, above the operational limit of Ades Battle Ships. However, the settlement was located by Ades and attacked through long-range bombardment in the episode Illegal Move. Fam Fan Fan and Giselle Collette traveled to Spargel to resupply in the episode Bad Move and found it abandoned.
