Divided by several canals that were fed by the Spaceport Gusher, the Old Patch took its name from the fact that its buildings were far older than those in the more modern spaceport district. Floatboats carrying passengers and cargo down the canals were a common sight in the district, while pedestrians were relegated to using sidewalks and bridges to get around. Smugglers, local dissidents against the Tundei Tribunal and other less-than-lawful types congregated on the outskirts of the Old Patch in places like the LoBue Cantina.
